Supplement 10. Setting the pressure sensor at zero 

This  mode  corrects  the  zero  drift  of  the  pressure  sensor  and  is 

intended  to  compensate for possible temporary zero drift  and to  adapt  the 
pressure  sensor  to  different  temperature  conditions.  In  this  mode,  a 
correction  for  pressure  sensor  zero  drift  is  written  into  the  level  gauge 
storage,  which  is  automatically  taken  into  account  for  all  further 
measurements to determine the actual pressure value. 

Zero  adjustment  is  only  made  when  the  level  gauge  is  exposed  to 

atmospheric (zero overpressure) pressure. If the gauge is already mounted 
at the wellhead, the annular valve must be closed and the outlet valve kept 
open during the zero adjustment. 

To  zero  the  pressure  sensor,  switch  on  the  tool.  Press  the  "MODE" 

button to reach the operator and shop number display window.

А  К  4  .  0  0     1  2  :  2  0  :  2  6           

Press the "INPUT / OUTPUT" button and successively pressing the 

"MODE"  button,  reach the pressure sensor zero, when the pressure gauge 
correction  will  flash.  The  correction  value  is  taken  into  account  (in  this 
case, added) in all measurements to determine the actual pressure value. In 
the  example,  the  correction  is  -10.6kilogauss/cm2.  Press  the  "INPUT  / 
OUTPUT"  button,  while  a  new  offset  correction  will  be  written  to  the 
instrument's memory and the pressure readings will be reset to zero in the 
pressure control mode. The recorded correction is stored in the instrument's 
memory (including during initialization) until the next zero correction and 
the recording of a new correction. 

 

Supplement 11. Testing the level gauge 

The  level  gauge  test  will  reveal  any  hidden  faults  that  may  be 

preventing normal operation of the level gauge. After an unsuccessful test, 
the display may show an indication such as:
