Electronics module
Sensor
Pulse-4 has one magnetic induction sensor with the length optimized to detect
defects in the third and fourth barriers. The tool is equipped with a magnetic field
detector, accelerometer, and an internal low-accuracy temperature sensor.
Power supply is provided through the common single-line Indigo bus which also
serves as a data exchange link. BAT05.00.00.000 Indigo BAT battery pack
combined with the toolstring is used as a memory-mode power source, to which
BAT05.20.00.000 Indigo Modem Adapter is connected to provide communication
with PC (See Fig. 4). When the tool is in maintenance the USB adapter provides
power supply to the toolstring from an additional AC/DC power supply.
The tool can record data both in memory and wireline modes, transferring data to
surface station and simultaneously saving data to internal memory
2.9 Marking
Company and tool name are engraved on the protective titanium housing. Serial
number is deposited on the tool head with a laser.
Package contents:
Item Designation Qty
INDIGO Suite software intended to support Indigo type tool product line (Pulse,
Navigator, Hex, PT, Chorus etc.) and some other tools that are not part of this
product line (DMPT, SMPT, Micro-T).
The procedures described below are to be performed on a new PC only and will not
be required to be repeated in future.
• Download zip file containing the latest driver version for Windows.
• Extract file contents into a separate directory.
• Connect BAT05.20.00.000 Indigo Modem Adapter to PC USB port. An icon and
a “new hardware found” message will appear in the alert window.
• If the driver has not been previously installed on your PC, you will be offered to
find this driver in Internet or install the driver from a designated location. Select
installation from a designated location and click the folder that contains archive
files. If the driver is already installed this step will be skipped. The system can
also find the driver in Internet all by itself without any additional prompts.
• The OS service will finalize driver installation and put out a message in the
notification area showing the name and number of a new COM port. Remember
this number. Every time a new adapter is connected, a new virtual port will be
created.
• In case no message showing the port number appears, go to Start => Control
panel => Device manager => Ports (COM & LPT) menu and double-click to open
the list and adjust port settings. USB serial port (COM xx) should be on the list.
If the port number is under 16, you can leave it as it is, otherwise, change it for
a smaller number. To do so: Double-click to select this port line and Port
Properties window will appear. Select Port Settings, click More button, change
COM port number in the list for any available number less than 16, and click OK
to close the windows.
• Attach battery module (with batteries removed) to the tool. Tool body should not
touch any metal parts; use insulating pads, if necessary.
• Connect Indigo Modem Adapter to battery module connector and AC/DC power
supply unit to appropriate slot on the adapter. Connect USB cable from PC to
adapter. Green LED should light up on adapter. The tool can be connected to
the PC also using TEYAN067.33.000 Connector from the opposite end of the
tool.
• Run INDIGO Suite. Main window will open, and the software will find all the tools
connected to PC, download current tasks from them and display this information

Test button. Starts automatic test that perform checking proper operation of
the tool.
• Perform functionality test of the tool. Click Test button. During the test the tool
must be outside of pipes and far away from metal structures (not less than 1 m).
Powerful sources of the electromagnetic interferences also can impact on the
test results. The test will take 120 seconds. Progress bar is displayed in the lower
left corner of the window. Test results will appear in a new window (Fig. 6) and
a new file containing the report will be created. Click View->Open Logs Directory
and go to TEST_REPORTS directory to find and open this file
This test is performed before and after each work when the tool has not started and
once it has been stopped.
• At well site, when the tool is switched on and is ready to be run in the well;
• After the tool has been pulled out of the well to make sure that it is at work state.

The test is performed using a magnetic field indicator. The magnetic field indicator
(MFI) is designed for visual and acoustic monitoring of Pulse tools operation.
The MFI is powered from a 12V alkaline battery, type 23AE. Below is the procedure
of using the MFI:

4.5 Troubleshooting
Make sure that, prior to testing, all tool hardware and software interfaces was
properly installed and configured, batteries checked, and external magnetic field
sources eliminated.
1 Check:
- USB port and adapter cable for
Green LED does not light up when
USB port, cable or adapter failure damages
USB adapter is connected to PC
- Electronic components for short-
circuiting
5. LOGGING PROCEDURE
This Section describes Pulse-4 preparation and logging procedure. Preparation
procedure is to be carried out prior to logging at well site, after task and targets have
been defined.
In other countries local rules and safety requirements shall be identified and met
prior to any well operations.
To prevent tool failure, it should be run only in wells with known maximum
temperatures and pressures. Working parameters should not exceed tool ratings.
Standard cell pack are supplied as 5-cell batteries enclosed in a common polymer
tube. The battery is installed into the module so that its positive contact faces the
connectors and is clamped on the negative side with a spring-mounted clip.
For more efficient memory and battery use or job specifics, the measurement task
can be divided into several intervals with pauses between them. To add a new
interval, click button. If On/Off box is unchecked a for this interval, a pause
corresponding to Duration set value will be held, otherwise, measurement will
continue for the specified duration period.

at specified speed.
5.5.5 Depth panel (gauge) with time correlation function.
5.5.6 Laptop PC with INDIGO Suite installed and adaptor connected.
5.7.1 Perform tool string assembly with battery module and centralisers;
5.7.2 Connect the tool (toolstring) to adapter;
5.7.3 Start INDIGO Suite. Tool information and current task (cyclogram)
stored in the memory will be displayed in the main window;
5.7.4 Create (edit) a cyclogram required (see 5.3);
5.7.5 Write cyclogram into the tool – click Program button (Cyclogram group
– Fig. 5);
5.7.6 Perform tool functionality test (see 4.3);
5.7.7 Click Start button to run cyclogram execution. System log field will
show a message that the tool has been successful synchronised at
current time and tool start time will be displayed;
5.7.8 Disconnect adapter cable from the tool (toolstring);
5.7.9 Check the tool is work using a magnetic field indicator (see 4.4);
5.7.10 Perform well logging operations including RIH and POOH;
5.7.11 After tool pulling out connect the tool (toolstring) to adapter;
5.7.12 Start INDIGO Suite and check current tool status. If the tools status is
displayed as “Not Available”, perform scan tool one more time by
clicking Scan button on the toolbar. If the status does not change, it
would mean that a failure has occurred. In this case, reconnect BAT
module or use another adapter (or connection wires set) and then try
to connect one more time. If the status reads as “Work”, stop tool by
clicking Stop button (it might take a few seconds) and the status
should change to “Idle”;
5.7.13 Start data readout from tool memory by clicking Download button.
Select a folder where *.DR5 data file is to be saved. Adapter LED
should be blinking red and data download progress bar displayed in
the bottom part of the window. After the readout has finished, data

5.8.1 Download logging data from tool memory or open relevant data file.
The data will be displayed in a new tab titled as Template (Fig. 10);
2. Field type O-ring replacement After each Pulse-4 run See Fig. 11
One person (log engineer) is enough to work with Pulse-4 and periodic maintenance
is performed in logging company's workshop
— If at least one of the sizes shown in Fig. 12 is above the maximum or below
the minimum value, this part needs to be replaced.
— If at least one of the surfaces is damaged (scored or chipped), this part
needs to be replaced
• Replace field type O-rings;
