The signal strength indicator will change from
green
to
yellow
when the background noise in the well exceeds
1mV and from
yellow
to
red
when the noise exceeds 10 mV.
A
red
indicator suggests that a higher level of differential pressure should be used to generate the shot.
10 – Press the “Start” button after adjusting the gas gun pressure if necessary.
Waiting for Shot to be Fired
The display indicates that the software is monitoring the microphone signal and is ready to detect the shot when
it is fired. Shot detection occurs when the microphone voltage exceeds the preset threshold voltage. The user
has 10 minutes to generate the acoustic pulse by actuating the gas gun trigger or control valve. When the
allotted time expires the screen will change automatically to the previous screen (Background Noise Display).
In noisy wells it may be advantageous to Toggle ON/OFF a Low Pass filter to enhance the displayed data and
help the user observe the echo from the liquid level and/or other anomalies present in the well.
