the red dots are line up. Connect another end of the download adapter to the PC computers USB port. See figure 5

Download adapter

Figure 5: The download adaptor

Note: If the battery pack is connected first, the gauge allows the user to complete the connection between the computer and gauge in 10 minutes. If the gauge has been powered with the battery connection for at least 10 minutes, but the USB cable has never been connected to a PC computer, the gague would start to log data with default settings and ignore all configure commands from the PC. If default settings is not sufficient, the user must unplug the battery pack and repeat the above the procedure to configure the guage. 3.3 Configuration of pressure gauge Starts the RTS User Logger software. The user software pop up the Device Info page if it finds the gauge. Otherwise, it will goto the Plot page for data view and plot.

3.3.1 Meaure the voltage of battery pack


Switch to the battery page (See figure 6), battery pack information such as the serial number can be filled into Battery Specification box and download into the gauge by clicking the Set button. The current battery voltage can also be measured by click the Read buttor on the left of Battery Voltage box. This page allows user to estimate the battery capacity under the schedule, and gives typical power consumption values for battery selection reference. Note: Any standard 150 185 single AA lithium pack should have a voltage from 3.6-3.9V (refer to manufacturer data sheet). A lithium battery with a voltage under 2.4V should not be used. If a new battery shows a voltage less than expected, it may have a passivity layer problem. It is unknown what type of environmental changes the gauge experienced while it is down the well. Extreme temperature changes will definitely shorten the life span of the battery. Therefore it is suggested that a new battery be used each time the gauge is run into the well.

3.3.2 Configuration of the job schedule.


User can set sample interval and job hours for this interval, the maximum number for interval settings is 32. The software automatically estimate the total hours/days and

the total log data points of current schedule setting. The schedule will be stored into gauge by clicking the Download button (See figure 7). The gauge will works according to the last schedule interval until it has no memory space for the samples

Figure 7: The job schedule page

3.3.3 Setting system time and log start time.


1) Set system time. The currently computers system time can be obtained and shown by the View Time button. The computers system time will be downloaded into the gauge by clicking Set Time button in System Time Setting dialog, and the current clock/timer status of the gauge can be obtained and checked by the Get Time button. 2) Set log start time The user can set the time when the gauge will start to log data by: 1) Setting the exact date(year/month/day) and time(hour/minute/second) in Log Start Time Setting diaglog and clicks the Set Log Start Time button. 2) Set log delay time in munutes. If you dont need exactaly log start time, you can configure only the system time. The gauge will start to log after a default value ( 10 minutes ) delay after the system time set. Of course, you can change this default value and then click Set Log Delay button to set the new delay(Max delay value is 5 hours).

3.4 Remove the download adapter. One hand holds the battery and another hand pull out the download adapter carefully from the battery pack. Check the connection reliability between the battery pack and the gauge to make sure it is perfect. The battery pack should be unpluged and the procedures from 3.2 to 3.3.4 will be repeated if you find some connection problems. 3.5 Install the battery housing Slide the battery housing over the battery and tighten it onto the electronics housing. If this process is not easily done, stop. Remove the housing and the battery. Try sliding the battery into the housing by hand to see if there is any obstruction. If there is a problem, check to see if the inside of the housing is clear and check the outside of the battery for foreign material or swelling. The battery will twist off inside of the electronic housing socket if it does not fit freely in the battery housing. See figure 8

Tighten the battery housing on to the electronic housing using 11/16 or 17mm wrenches on the wrench flats. These gauges are O-ring sealed (not metal to metal sealed) and therefore should only be slightly more than hand-tight.

* Do not over-tighten and do not use pipe wrenches on these gauges as you could damage the housing. 3. 6 The gauge is now ready to be run into a well.
3. 7 Data retrieval 1. The gauge should be allowed the cool sufficiently before working with it. Loosen the battery housing from the electronics housing using a 11/16 or 17mm wrench.

3.9 Servicing of the gauge 1. After all data is uploaded from the gauge, carefully disconnect all components. 2. Clean and lubricate the gauge after use. Replace all O-rings after every run to protect the gauge from potential damage caused by failure. There are only two O-rings on the gauge at the top section of the electronics housing. Typical O-rings are number 014V90 or 212-V90 that supplied with the tools. O-rings should be selected based on the environment the tool will be run in. O-rings

3. Remove the bullnose or crossover after every run and clean the pressure ports. If the pressure ports get plugged, then the gauge may not read accurately. With the bullnose or crossover adapter off, carefully rinse the pressure transducer without directly touching it. CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH OR REMOVE THE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER DIRECTLY AS IT CAN BE DEMAGED VERY EASILY. WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT BEING SERVICED, ENSURE THE BULLNOSE IS INSTALLED ON THE GAUGE TO PROTECT THE TRANSDUCER. 4. Lubricating the Gauge Threads The threads on the top of the electronics housing and on the bullnose should be lubricated with the proper lubricant, such as Dow Corning 55-O-ring lubricant. This should be done prior to usage. a) It should be noted that the gauge does contain electronics and should be treated gently whenever possible. Store gauges in their storage cases when not in use. b) Never submerse the tool in fluid unless it is completely assembled. c) If you are running a slick line test, do no exceed 150 feet per minute when running the gauges into and out of the hole.
