Introduction
The surface unit forms the surface package for the downhole monitoring system. There are two physical
configurations to the surface unit: SPT-X and Viewpoint. These two configurations correspond to the software
configuration of the downhole gauge and should match it accordingly.

Table 1: Surface Electrical Compatibility
The surface unit consists of the following internal components:
1. Surface communications electronics for downhole gauge – For the Viewpoint gauge, this is the STU
card (WC: 01272232). For the SPT-X gauge this is the SPT-X surface unit (WC: 02035164). Both
units retrieve data from the gauge and relay it to the devices requesting it (in this case the embedded
computer) for display and/or logging.
2. LCD Screen – Touchscreen display (WC: 20015136) for the sensor data and modification of
parameters.
3. Modbus RTU – Input/Output module (WC: 20015915) for interacting with relays, 0-20mA devices, and
analog outputs.
4. Multiple transceiver units – Several devices are installed to convert signals for external
communication to the surface unit including:
a. USB to RS-485 adapter (WC: 20016515)

b. USB to Ethernet adapter (WC: 20016513)
c. Ethernet switch (WC: 20016514)
5. Power Supplies – Two AC/DC power supplies are installed:
a. 24 VDC / 1.5A power supply (WC: 20016258)

b. 12 VDC / 2.0A power supply (WC: 20016277)
External Wiring
Terminal Strip Connections
Wiring to the surface unit enters thru 2 liquid tight conduit connectors (20016231) at the bottom of the
unit. All wiring coming in to the unit will be terminated at the green terminal strip mounted to the inside of
the unit underneath the top plate on the side facing the connectors. These terminal connections allow
communication with the surface unit’s peripheral interfaces. The connection diagram is shown below in
Table 2.

Operation
The front panel switch controls power to the unit. Once power is applied, the unit will take 42 seconds to start
up. During this time you will see the LCD screen booting up into the program. Once it has completed the boot
up process, it will display the Home Screen. Using the display’s touch screen, you can navigate between
screens on the upper left where the word “Home” is displayed. Below is a description of each screen available
to the user.
HOME SCREEN (VP Version)
Displays the downhole parameter values. For the Viewpoint, the right two meters measure current and
voltage. For the SPT-X gauge, these are replaced be meters that measure delta P and isolation
resistance. Alarm statuses can be seen at the bottom.
HOME SCREEN (SPTX Version)

Notice that each meter has a name, a scale with a maximum value, and a unit of measure. In addition, each
meter indicates the level of measurement with colors: green, yellow and red according to the scale level of
the value measured in each variable:
At the bottom left of the screen you can also see the version of the software installed on the panel.
The trend graph screen for pressure, temperature, vibration and detaP variables can be accessed through
the main system menu.
TRENDS SCREEN
The Trends screen monitors parameter data over time, mapping pressure, temperature and vibration to
the screen. Axis adjustments can be made using the slider bars below each graph.
CPU Temperature:
The panel processor temperature level can be accessed from the main system menu. This information is stored
in a data file that will be used to analyze the performance of the panel in the different areas in which it will be
installed.
A maximum acceptable operating temperature level for this component is 75 ° C.
CPU TEMPERATURE SCREEN
Displays the temperature of the internal CPU to the unit. If this gets too hot the surface unit may have
trouble operating.
Test Digital Outputs:
TEST DIGITAL OUTPUT SCREEN
This screen tests the three relays used on the surface unit found at the green terminal strip:
Relay #1: Pin #25 and Pin #26.

In this screen there are 6 buttons for the functional test of each of the 3 relays enabled on the sensor panel. An
on button and an off button are designated for each relay.
It is recommended to carry out this test to verify the continuity of the contacts of each relay. In this way you can
be sure that, when setting an alarm, when it is activated the relay will close its dry contacts when the waiting
time for activation of the digital output has expired.
It can also be seen that on the right side of the window there are three indicator lights that will indicate whether
each relay has been activated or deactivated.
• If the light is white, it means that the relay is deactivated.

• If the light is red, it means that the relay has been activated.
It is important to note that when pressing any of these buttons, the system requests a second confirmation to
then execute the order, with a confirmation waiting time of 5 seconds:
By pressing the button again, you can see a confirmation message indicating that the relay has been activated,
and it will remain active for the time selected in the delay variable that we will see later in this manual.
The button again changes the message indicating that the relay is on, the indicator light has changed to red,
and it can be seen that the red LED on the internal unit of the panel has also changed to red:
This test is available for each of the three relays that the panel has.
RELAY # 1: it is intended for connection and disconnection depending on the configuration of the alarms
configured for each of the variables of the downhole sensor.
RELAY # 2 and # 3: it is intended to connect and disconnect any of the channels configured by the user
in the Modbus data table that is explained later in this manual.
The alarm configuration can be done by accessing the "Alarm Configuration" option from the menu:
ALARM CONFIGURATION SCREEN
This screen configures the alarm settings of the surface unit. The “delay in seconds” setting determines how
long after the alarm setting is tripped the alarm will sound. For gauges that do not use discharge pressure
readings, disregard deltaP alarm.
Protection configuration example:
Observe in the following image the configuration corresponding to the variable Pi:
The minimum value of the protection range has been determined to be equal to 253 PSI and the maximum
value of the protection range is equal to 1557 PSI.
In addition, a relay # 1 activation wait time has been configured equal to 60 seconds. Based on this information,
it can be stated that relay # 1 will be activated if the value of the variable “Pi” is outside this range.
Another example with the variable "Tm":
It is observed in the previous image that the minimum value of the protection range is equal to 80 degrees, and
the maximum value is equal to 350 degrees.
We can then affirm based on this information that relay # 1 will only be activated if the value of "Tm" is below
80 degrees or above 350 degrees.
Analog Inputs:
ANALOG INPUTS SCREEN
This screen monitors the analog inputs to the surface unit whose connections are found on the green terminal
strip.
Notice that four meters are presented, two for each channel.
Each channel can be independently configured to measure 0-10V or 0-20 mA, values that can be observed in
the upper meter of each channel:
An example of the application of this function is explained below:
If you want to connect a pressure translator with a measurement range of 0-1000 PSI (0-10V) to the AN0 input,
we can observe the value measured between 0 and 10 volts in the upper meter of the AN0 channel, and in the
meter lower the interpolated value to PSI (between 0 and 1000 PSI):
Channel AN0 or AN1 can also be configured to measure between 0 and 20 mA or 4 and 20 mA:
The configuration of each analog input channel is done through the “AN-Ports Config” menu which is explained
later in this manual.
Analog Outputs:
ANALOG OUTPUTS SCREEN
This screen monitors the analog inputs to the surface unit whose connections are found on the green terminal
strip. For each of the two outputs, set the register at the bottom to match the desired parameter to send.
This screen is an overview of all the sensor variables, in which the values can be observed in different units of
measure. In addition, you can observe the value of the output in “mA” for each channel, in the range between
4 and 20 milliamps.
It is possible to select any of the variables in any of the analog channels (AN1 output and AN2 output).
Example:
If the variable "Pd" is selected in the channel "AN1 Output", we can measure an output current corresponding
to the value of the variable.
If the value of Pd = 7 PSI, we can measure a value equal to 4.02 mA at the channel output (as shown in the
image):
If the value of Pd = 5105 PSI, we can measure at the channel output a value equal to 17.61 mA (as shown in
the image):
Master-Port Config:
RS PORTS CONFIG SCREEN
RS-Ports Config screen accesses port settings for RS-485 ports. The master RS232/RS485 serial port controls
the settings for the master and slave 485 connections at the green terminal strip.
This port is RS-485 Modbus, and is available to interrogate equipment external to the sensor panel. This
means that we can include variables from other equipment in the sensor panel and this data will be stored
in a .CSV format file called "Modbustable.csv".
AN-Ports Config:
AN PORTS CONFIG SCREEN
AN Ports Config sets the port settings for the analog outputs. For each output, the full range of the analog
values must match the range of the output parameter. For example, if analog output 1 is desired to represent
intake pressure (bar), AN1 Process Range Min/Max values should be -10 and 400 (the full range of pressure
values the gauge reads).
Note that on this screen there are 4 buttons from which the function of each channel can be selected. The two
analog input channels can be configured as follows:
• Button 1: Channel AN0 is set to 0-20 mA and channel AN1 is set to 0-20 mA.
• Button 2: Channel AN0 is set to 0-20 mA and channel AN1 is set to 0-10 Volts.
• Button 3: Channel AN0 is set to 0-10 Volts and channel AN1 is set to 0-20 mA.
• Button 4: Channel AN0 is set to 0-10 Volts and channel AN1 is set to 0-10 Volts.
There is also a section for configuring identification labels and units of measurement:
Select the channel name and the unit of measurement, and notice that this characteristic will be reflected in the
analog inputs screen:
Custom Modbus Map:
In the following table it is possible to configure registers of other equipment which can be interrogated through
the Modbus Master port (RS485) of the system.
As seen below, it is possible to configure 10 registers. Here is a brief description of the functions of each field
in the table:
 Variable Name: specifies a name for the variable to be queried.

 Register Number: include the registration number to be consulted.
 Function: Write the number of the function you want to use:
o # 3 for: Read Holding Register (4x)
o # 4 for: Read Input Register (3x)
 Slave ID: Select the ID number of the slave port to be queried.
 Result: Shows the result of reading a queried variable.
 Formula: Enter the desired formula to adjust the values obtained from the reading of a variable
(Example: / 10 to divide by 10, * 100 to multiply by 100).
 Max Level: Scale adjustment of each graphic meter.
The following image is an example of table configuration:
MODBUS Alarm Screen:
In this section it is possible to configure two of the ten registers of the customizable mosbus table in order to be
able to see the variable graphically.
These channels are also assigned a digital output (Relay # 2 and Relay # 3) in such a way that it is possible to
set a protection range for the variable.
Adjust the protection ranges as the case may be. If the value of the variable goes outside the assigned range,
the Relay corresponding to the variable will be activated. A virtual light signal will illuminate on the screen:
General Config:
GENERAL CONFIG SCREEN
The General Config screen sets general settings of the unit. STU Type selection determines which gauge type
the surface unit is communicating with.
The unit can connect to the local Wi-Fi in order to make software updates or patches remotely.
To access a Wi-Fi network, you must indicate the name of the network (SSID) and the password (Key) in the
corresponding section and then activate the connection in the “CONNECT TO WIFI” button. A virtual keyboard
is displayed on the screen automatically when accessing the corresponding data fields:
If the connection is not successful, you will see an error message: Connection activation failed:
When the connection is successful, a message is seen: "Device" wlan0 "successfully activated ..." and an IP
address is shown that may vary depending on the network to which the system is connected, example:
The pressure and temperature units can be adjusted in the corresponding section indicated in the following
image:
Some important functions:
• Active Alarms: When the Switch is in the “OFF” state (it turns gray by sliding the switch to the left), the protection
relays are never activated. If you want to activate the panel protections, this switch must be in the “ON” state (it
turns red by sliding the switch to the right):
• WDT Switch: Watch Dog Timer, helps to keep the System running whenever the switch is active. Swipe to the
right side to activate. If there is no downhole sensor connected to the panel (this case occurs when we want to
test the panel before its installation) it is recommended to turn off this function, this because if the panel does
not find it has communication with the sensor, it will restart and return to do it until you get the data.
• WDT2 Switch: Watch Dog Timer 2, helps maintain Modbus communications on the panel's slave port. This
function should only be on if we have the port in use. When the port is unoccupied or not in use, this function
should be turned off.
• Watch Dog Timer: This value is equal to 60 seconds by default and is the time (multiplied by a factor = 4) that
it will take the WDT to restart the unit if the data has been lost. So, if the value selected in this field is 60, the
unit reset time will be: 60 sec x 4 = 240 sec.
• Restore Factory Settings: This function resets all the panel settings to the factory settings.
Date-Time Coinfig:
This screen is used for setting the date/time of the unit.
A virtual keyboard will be displayed on the screen in order to make the corresponding adjustments to the date
and time of the panel.
DATE-TIME CONFIG SCREEN

Data Export:
For downloading logged data from the unit, follow the instructions on the screen. Note that access to your PC’s
network configuration settings may be different based on your operating system’s version.
DATA EXPORT SCREEN
To access the panel's historical data files, the computer network must be configured on the same panel
network segment. For this, enter the network properties of your computer:
• Select the option "Use the following IP Address"

• Enter the IP address: 192.168.1.1
• Enter the Sub Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Accept the changes
Then from the browser (google Chrome recommended), access the address:
http://192.168.1.100:1880/data UI
Then you will see three buttons for downloading files:
Then select the file you want to download, open the file in Excel and you will be able to see the stored
data:
For the file “DATA - Sensor”, the order of the data is as follows:
Date-Time – Pi – Pd – Ti – Tm – Vxy – Vz – Ct – Vt – DeltaP – Isolation – Relay 1 – Relay 2 – Relay 3 – CPU Temp

Modbus SLAVE RS232/RS485/Ethernet CONFIG:
To access the configuration of the slave ports, for Modbus communications, you must enter via the Web at the
following address:
http://192.168.1.7
Username: admin

The section highlighted in the image contains all the parameters necessary to establish a serial communication
with the panel. The values shown come by default and are the most common used.
RS485:
Power & Reboot System:
This screen will reboot or power down the system.
To ensure the correct system restart or shutdown, we recommend using the following buttons in the menu:
POWER & REBOOT SCREEN

LED Indicators:
LED panel indicators show activity of the surface electronics communicating with the downhole gauge. These
indicators differ based on the surface unit configuration. The purpose of the indicators is to quickly diagnose
communication issues with the gauge.
Viewpoint Configuration
The Viewpoint gauge contains 3 panel indicators for the surface unit. They are in order of left to
right:
1) POWER LED – Displays power status to the unit (ON if working)

2) TOOL DATA LED – Displays communication status between the gauge and the unit. There
are 3 modes this LED will be in:
a. Blinking about once per second – This mode indicates the unit is attempting to
communicate with the gauge. This mode will occur on startup and continue until
either the gauge has begun communicating or the gauge cannot be found.
b. Blinking about twice per second – This mode indicates the unit cannot find the
gauge. Allow the unit to be in this mode for at least 2 minutes as it can sometimes
take longer for the unit to find the gauge.
c. Blinking about once per 7 seconds – This mode indicates the gauge is
communicating with the surface unit properly.
3) MODBUS LED – Displays status of communication between the processor and STU. When
the LED is ON, data is being transmitted from the STU to the processor.
SPT-X Configuration
The SPT-X gauge contains 4 panel indicators for the surface unit. They are in order of left to right:
1) HEATING – This indicates the heater inside the unit is enabled. This occurs automatically
below temperatures of -10C.
2) DHU – Indicator of communication with the downhole unit. This LED has three states:
a. RED – No communication with the gauge
b. YELLOW – Communication pending, unit searching for gauge.
c. GREEN – Gauge is communicating with the surface unit.
3) SwB – Indicator of communication between SPT-X electronics and surface unit. This indicator
is typically GREEN. If it is RED, there is a failure inside the surface unit.
4) POWER – Power indicator of the SPT-X electronics.
