GPS Synchronized Current Interrupter Install GPS Synchronized Current Interrupters in all Rectifiers That Influence The Survey Area
Install The Current Interrupters • Install the Current Interrupters in All of the Rectifiers Influencing the Survey Area
Performing a CIPS Survey • 1 second Cycle Allows the Surveyor to Proceed at a Walking Pace
Locate the Pipe • The Pipe Locator Should Proceed Ahead of the Surveyor
CIPS Survey Result IR Drop 1000mV Section <-850mV
Results of Test Station Survey This is the same data as the previous slide with readings taken at the test stations

Why GPS? • What are the advantages of the Global Positioning System (GPS)? • Timing Accuracy (PPS) • No Necessity to Link Interrupters for Synchronization • Equipment Always Synchronized • Location Accuracy
The GPS System • The GPS System consists of 24 satellites in orbit around the world.
The GPS Constellation • 24 Satellites • 6 Orbital Planes • 4 Satellites/Plane • 20,200Km Altitude • 55°Inclination
How it Works • Measurement of the Code Phase Arrival Times From at Least 4 Satellites • Location X,Y,Z + Time • 1 PPS signal
GPS Navigation • Non Corrected Accuracy 1-50 M • Low Frequency Differential Correction 1 M • WAAS Correction 1-3 M • Omni star 0.2 M
Timing Accuracy • 1 PPS broadcast from Atomic Clock Accuracy 365 Nanoseconds • Can be Received anywhere in the World • Links all Cath-Tech Equipment
