R12

Remote test point

The Spiratec trap fault detection system indicates if a steam trap is

leaking steam. The Spiratec R1 provides a remote test point for one

Spiratec sensor. The Spiratec R12 provides the same facility for up

to twelve Spiratec sensors.

A PT2 or PT3 plug tail is used to connect the SS1 sensor in the

sensor chamber or steam trap to the R1 or R12 remote test point at

any convenient location. Trap checking is then carried out by plugging

a Spiratec Type 30 indicator into the R1 or R12.

Note: The R1 and R12 remote test points can only be used with

sensors for steam leak applications. They are not suitable for use

with WLS1 waterlogging sensors.
