3.2 Connection between the computer and gauge RubyTek has two ways to connect the computer and gauge, the user can choose either way. 1) Connection the download adapter to battery pack, then connnect to the gauge: Line up the red dot on the lithium battery pack with the red dot on the download adapter and insert carefully. If this does not happen gently, double check to make sure the red dots are line up. See figure 2.
17
Then connect the another end of download adapter to the computers USB port. Line up the red dot on the lithium battery pack with the red dot on the gauge and insert carefully. If this does not happen gently, double check to make sure the red dots are line up. The gauge starts to work immediately after the battery pack is connected. See figure 3 Download adapter
2) Connection battery pack directly to the gauge, then connect the download adapter: Line up the red dot on the lithium battery with the red dot on the gauge and insert carefully. If this does not happen gently, double check to make sure the red dots are line up. The gauge starts to work immediately after the battery pack is connected. See figure 4.

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

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
21
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
Battery housing Lithium Battery O-rings Gauge Body Bullnose
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.
22
2. Slowly remove the battery housing from the electronics housing. Ensure no pressure has built up inside housing. Lift the battery housing off of the battery. 3. Remove the battery pack from the electronics housing socket by gripping the battery as close to the pin as possible and pull straight off the electronics housing. *Do not twist the battery!! It is now time to start downloading the information recorded by the gauge. 4. Line up the red dot on the download adapter with the red dot on the gauge and insert carefully. They will only connect this way. Do not force or twist!! If the connection is difficult, stop and look to see what the obstruction might be. Clear all obstructions and try the connection again. Connect another side of the cable of download adapter to a PC computers USB port. See figure 9.

Start the RTS User Logger software and switch to the Run Data page. The data can be retrieved in this page. You can select the jobs you wish to load and click the Save Jobs button, a dialog box shows where the job to save and you can point the directory to save them.
23
3.8 Plot and analyze the data 1. Plot and compare the job data After uploaded, the job can be opened and plotted in the Plot Data page for further analysis. Two jobs can be opened and plotted (with the Draw1, Draw2 button) at the same time for comparison. Statistic information (maximum pressure and temperature, mean pressure value, etc.) inside the current viewing window and the values at current cursor can also be displayed for reference (see Figure 11). Please read the help manual of the logger software for more details.
24
2. Analyze the job details by Zoom In/Out and Message Tip After opened, in order to analyze the details of the data, the plot can be zoom in with +++ or zoom out with the --- button, and can be scrolled by tracking the scrollbar, or forward with >>> and backward with <<< button. The zoom feature can also be finished with mouse by a left button down & drag to select area action, i.e., drag from top-left to bottom-right is the zoom in, and drag from bottom-right to top-left is the zoom out (see Figure 12). By moving the mouse cursor closely to a data point on the plot, the user can easily to view its detail values as a message tip on the selected point (see Figure 13).

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.

4. Troubleshooting
If the RTS User Logger software cant find the pressure gaug. You follow the next steps to figure it out. 1 to my computer icon then click the right button of mouse, move the mouse to Go properties and click it. Select hardware page and click the Devices management. Click the COM Port icon to see if there new USB Serial PortPlease install the driver if you can find it. 2 you cant find any problem according to the step first. Please unplug the download If adapter and reconnect it . 3 Please contact the RubyTeks local service if you cant figure it out.
