Safety

Do not operate the CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter during electrical
storms. Damage to both the CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter and the
rectifier could occur.

The installation of the CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter requires
electrical connections in the rectifier. Only personnel who are trained in electrical
safety should undertake this. The CIC-200 can interrupt either DC or AC current.
Turn the AC supply to the rectifier OFF and verify with a volt meter before making
any connections to the rectifier.

Welcome

Thank you for selecting the CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter. Cath­Tech is the world leader in electronic equipment for corrosion control.

The CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter is equipped with a GPS engine
to ensure accurate synchronization with other interrupters no matter how far apart.

Your CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter is a precision instrument. It is
designed to interrupt the current flow from your cathodic protection rectifier or
sacrificial anode system on a cyclic basis.

Open and inspect your CIC-200 GPS synchronized current interrupter on receipt.
If any damage occurred during shipping, file a claim with the carrier immediately.
