ACE RELIANCE SENSOR OPERATIONS MANUAL 1. Product Description ACE Reliance is a downhole sensor designed to be deployed in non-ESP wells (GasLift, PCP, Rod Lift, Hydraulic Lift, naturally flowing wells …). ACE Reliance sensor consists of two main components - a downhole instrument and a surface read-out unit. The downhole instrument is a completely sealed, welded device. -

Page 18: Kpsi Sensor Model Installation
The installation procedure of the 1kPSI sensor model is similar to the one of the 10kPSI one. One difference is that the 1kPSI model features fewer components (the 1K model does not have the top cover). The other difference is that another ACE TEC strip gauge must be used to measure TEC cut-off distance. Figure 32 Components that are not present in the 1kPSI sensor model are crossed out V2.4... -

1kPSI sensor model and the TEC cable are ready to be connected WARNING: The ACE ¼” Gauge Strip must be used to cut TEC cable for the 1kPSI model. If ACE Dual Seal TEC Strip Gauge is used, this may cause to well fluid leak into the sensor and a failure. Please see the pictures of the two types of ACE TEC strip gauges at the beginning of this manual. -

8.2 ACE Downhole offers a GPS receiver. If AC mounted in a metallic container it’s possible the internal GPS will not receive a signal, in this case the ACE Optix external GPS receiver may be plugged into the front of the ACE Optix case as shown in the figure 36 below. - Page 21 8.3 Power up the ACE Optix SRU. It will take a couple of minutes for the SRU to initialize. During initialization all LEDs will be blinking. Once initialized without errors, green light only will stay on as shown in the picture 37 below.

Page 24: Accessing Downhole Sensor Data Wirelessly From Your Device
9. Accessing downhole sensor data wirelessly from your device 9.1 On your cell phone or a tablet go to “Settings > WiFi” and connect to the ACE OPTIX WiFi network. The last four letters in the WiFI network (2CDO shown below) are the last 4 letters of the ACE Optix device MAC address, so will be different for all ACE Optix devices, allowing them to be identified if several are running close together. - Page 25 9.2. Open a web browser on your device and type 1.2.3.4 in the web address tab. It will take a few seconds for the browser to display Opix SRU status screen. Once ACE Optix SRU has initialized, you will be taken to a set up menu (figure 39).

Sensor and Cable Integrity Monitoring During Run in Hole 10.1 ACE Spooler overview The ACE Spooler allows continuous monitoring of an ACE Reliance downhole sensor and the connecting TEC cable in real time during installation. The unit can be mounted inside the rotating cable spool and is electrically connected to the end of the cable inside the spool. - Page 32 ACE RELIANCE SENSOR OPERATIONS MANUAL Any fault conditions from the cable, sensor or interconnect during installation will be apparent within seconds to everyone monitoring the system. The unit is battery powered and will typically operate for 15 hours on the field replaceable, rechargeable batteries.
