A short paragraph describing exactly what this service offers and how it helps clients. This is your chance to convince the visitor that your business is the right choice for them.
“With the TECNA INTERRUPTER, technicians report faster synchronization, accurate readings, and improved GPS connectivity. Field time has been reduced, and interoperability with other brands has improved.”
— Elkin Manrique, Maintenance Coordinator at TECNA ICE
More than 25 years of technical experience in Oil & Gas and energy across 6 Latin American countries.
Designed with specialized Latin American engineering for demanding CIS, DCVG, ON/OFF, and related inspections.
✔ Local technical support and training included.
Unlike traditional equipment with mechanical relays, TECNA uses solid-state technology. This ensures a clean, bounce-free shutdown, which is essential for obtaining accurate “Instant-Off” potential measurements in accordance with international standards. In addition, we offer a flexible architecture with Modular options for long service life and Compact options for maximum portability.
Yes. The TECNA interrupter is designed for full interoperability. Thanks to its switching delay compensation feature (adjustable from 0 to 100 ms) and start-up polarity settings, it can be perfectly synchronized with equipment from brands such as Kastel, Radiodetection, and Mc. Miller y American Innovations, among others.
Our interrupters are essential tools for the most critical pipe integrity inspections, including CIPS (Close Interval Potential Survey), DCVG (Direct Current Voltage Gradient), and current interference tests. Their high time resolution (up to 1 ms in modular models) ensures the simultaneity required for these techniques.
TECNA interrupters offer flexible power options to suit any grinding application. They support a range of 10 to 30 VDC or 8 to 20 VAC. In addition, the modular programming unit features an internal 1000 mAh lithium battery that allows the equipment to be configured in the office or in the field without being connected to a power source.
Yes. The equipment features an autonomous cycling system. In the event of a temporary loss of the satellite signal during operation, the clock—backed by a highly stable internal RTC—maintains the precise interruption sequence, ensuring that the corrosion study is not interrupted by geographical or weather-related obstacles.
We use GNSS modules compatible with five satellite constellations (GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS). This provides a Pulse-per-Second (PPS) signal accuracy of 30 ns RMS and a positioning accuracy of up to 2 meters, ensuring that multiple switches operate in unison along long stretches of pipelines.
Absolutely. The electronic components are protected by IP67-rated polypropylene enclosures, making them completely dustproof and resistant to temporary immersion in water. In addition, they operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C and are equipped with internal thermal sensors that shut down the load if safety limits are exceeded.. Tests have shown that it can operate at ambient temperatures of up to 35°C without a fan and up to 50°C with a fan.
TECNA ICE offers a variety of options to suit the scale of your project. You can purchase the complete system (Modular or Compact) or individual components as replacement parts. In addition, the equipment includes a password-protected Rental/License Mode feature, allowing for flexible management of technological assets based on the duration of the inspection.

It contains the relevant KPIs to obtain a risk ranking, which are represented by means of dashboards.
Integrates the PIDT Plants with the SCADA tool, in order to calculate the risk, making use of variables such as pressure,
temperature, flow, etc.
Bulk loading of inspections performed on static equipment, generating an inspection plan derived from RBI and sending SAP alerts.
It allows the centralization and codification of the information related to the integrity of the Asset: The necessary nomenclatures are defined in order to identify each document according to its origin. Likewise, each document can be classified in relation to the process in which it is involved. It allows organizing documents by means of a hierarchical tree that enables searches and filters to quickly find documents.
Allows the management, analysis and visualization of information compared to company targets related to:
Allows the evaluation and control of modifications to the design of facilities, operation, organization or activities; prior to implementation, in order to ensure that no new elements will be introduced that increase the risk and existing hazards to the business, people or the environment based on applicable regulations.
Allows the consultation of information associated with the life cycle of the asset and its accessories.
Assesses and analyzes the risk level of the Assets to generate an inspection plan. It is designed to perform the calculation and analysis of static equipment risk under the RP API 581-16 standard. The user will be able to create the required risk assessments
to generate a valuation and inspection plan.
