4. Open the valve on the compressed gas bottle. Charge up the gun: Press the stab-in connector
on the charge hose into the “Fill” connection on the gun. Note: When the charge hose stabs into the fill
valve, some gas will blow back from the insertion point. This is normal, and helps keep the charge
area free of debris.
The gun is now charged, and will be ready to fire when connected to the Acoustic
Fluid Logger.
Well depth and other variables will affect the amount of pressure needed to charge the gun for a
fluid level shot. In general, a shot of 100 to 200 psi above wellbore pressure should be sufficient.
5. Attach the microphone cable from the connector on top of the Pressure Pulse Gun to the
microphone connection on the Acoustic Fluid Logger. Turn on the power switch on the Acoustic Fluid
Logger; the paper will advance and print a header strip, and the on/off light will light. Note: In very
bright conditions, the light on the front panel is difficult to see.
5. The header will print on the tape and the unit will wait to sense the compressed gas shot. For a
quick check of a fluid level, press the keys “4 – C – Start” on the keypad. This will advance the tape
slightly and set up the Acoustic Fluid Logger to print a compressed echo tape of ¼ the full size.
