1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The IK Trax 4003 MAGSIG® is a robust, non-intrusive magnetic pig signaller which detects, signals, and logs the passage of magnetic pigs at critical points along a pipeline both on land and offshore. Events are signalled as they occur via an OLED dot matrix display and high brightness LEDs positioned around the perimeter of the display.

4. OPERATION � WARNING: Familiarise yourself with the rules for safe operation of this equipment as � � described in Section 3 RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION. The 4003 provides a 2x16 OLED dot matrix display at the front of the unit. A control button is located on the rear of the unit.
4.2. STABILISATION The STABILISATION delay occurs at switch ON only. During the STABILISATION delay the unit will ignore all magnetic events. The LEDs will flash every 5 seconds and the relay and current loop outputs will be in the DETECTION state. The STABILISATION delay can be used during deployment to prevent any unwanted events from being logged due to movement of the unit in the earths’...
4.4. DETECTION MODE There are two DETECTION METHODS. The default PIG PASS mode detects when the PIG has likely to have PASSED the signaller and DETECTION ONLY detects the presence of a pig but not necessarily that it has passed. The latter is useful when trying to determine when a PIG has been launched, where the pig is initially present, and the pig’s movement will be away from the signaller –...
During DETECTION display shows PIG nnn DETECTED and the LEDs around the display will flash every 1 second and the relay and current loop outputs will be in the DETECTION state. The unit will remain in this state for the length of time defined by the DETECTION delay. A countdown timer representing the DETECTION delay will be shown at the bottom of the screen along with the peak gauss recorded.
4.5. SINGLE BUTTON MENU INTERFACE While LISTENING, the control button can be firmly pressed for > 2 seconds to enter the menu interface. While in the menu interface, the unit will ignore all magnetic disturbances including PIG passages. From the menu the user can configure several parameters which are discussed in this section.
Page 12
When an editable menu item has been selected a ‘>’ will appear in the bottom left corner of the display to indicate that the selected menu item is now in edit mode and the button may be released. LONG PRESS TO The cursor will blink to indicate the field ENTER EDIT MODE currently being edited.
4.5.1. VIEW EVENTS Selecting this item will allow the user to cycle through all logged EVENTS from newest to oldest. The peak DIFFERENCE flux reading, EVENT number, and EVENT date and time are shown. Firmly pressing the CONTROL BUTTON momentarily will cycle to the next event. If the control button is not pressed for 30 seconds, or if the user cycles beyond the last recorded event the unit will return to LISTENING mode.
Selecting this item allows the time to be adjusted. Ensure that a valid time is entered in 24hour, HH:MM format. Refer to Section 4.12 RTC BACKUP. 4.5.7. THRESHOLD � CAUTION: Adjusting this parameter without first consulting IK Trax may cause the unit to � � miss pig passages or give false detections.
4.5.12. AUTO POWER OFF Selecting this item allows the AUTO POWER OFF function to be configured. It is possible to configure any number of days from 01 to 28. The AUTO POWER OFF timer will be ENABLED immediately once any non-zero value is set. While ENABLED, each time the unit is powered ON the AUTO POWER OFF timer will restart and the unit will automatically shut down after the configured number of days has elapsed.
4.5.17. BLUETOOTH Selecting this item allows the Bluetooth module to be ENABLED or DISABLED. The Bluetooth module should be disabled when not required as the module draws significant power from the batteries which will reduce the battery life of the unit. Refer to Section 5 BLUETOOTH INTEGRATION 4.5.18.
4.5.25. EXIT MENU Selecting this item will EXIT the menu interface and the unit will resume LISTENING. 4.6. MODBUS RTU RS485 INTERFACE Communication to the 4003, via the RS485 interface, makes use of MODBUS protocol as defined in MODBUS OVER SERIAL LINE V1.02 published by the MODBUS organisation. The communication parameters adhere to this standard using the default RTU transmission mode.

4.7. EVENT LOGGING AND SD CARD 4.7.1. EVENT LOGGING The signaller contains EEPROM memory capable of recording 127 records of EVENT data as well as other data including time, date and peak flux. These logged EVENTS occur on each DETECTION (and non-detections EVENTS in PIG PASSED detection method) and are retained until erased.
4.8. MOUNTING Normally the unit is used to confirm whether or not a pig has passed a known point of interest in a pipeline such as a bend or valve. Ideally the unit should be mounted approximately 5m after the point of interest. If the unit is mounted too close then it may detect the pig before the pig has passed safely through the point of interest.
4.9. BATTERY REPLACEMENT The unit will shut down when the battery voltage reaches 4.0V. To replace the batteries, follow the steps below: � WARNING: The Special Conditions for Safe Use � � detailed in Section 9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS of this manual must be observed always.
4.10. EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS To access external connections, follow the steps below: � WARNING: The Special Conditions for Safe Use detailed in � � Section 9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS of this manual must be observed at all times. Remove the ENDCAP and INTERNAL ASSEMBLY as BATTERY REPLACEMENT described in Section 4.9 of this...
The unit will consume 16.0mA ±1.0mA when in the LISTENING state (refer to Section 4.3 LISTENING). The unit will consume 20.0mA ±1.0mA when in the DETECTION state (refer to Section 4.4 DETECTION MODE). IK Trax suggest a current loop trigger level of 18mA. 4.11. INTERNAL HEATER � WARNING: REFER TO SECTION 9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The power dissipation (Pd) stated on the marking label can be taken as the power rating of the heater element. Reference should be made to Section 9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for applicable ambient temperature limits for when power is applied to the heater. The required current supply necessary to power the heater can be calculated from this power and the applied voltage I = P/V.
The following describes operation using the default communication format and with the IK Trax LoRa Base Station with USB connection. The IK Trax LoRa Base Station is a USB powered unit with antenna. The unit appears as a virtual COM PORT set to 115200BAUD, No Parity, 8 Bits and 1 Stop Bit.

1, battery voltage of 4003 is 4.2V, Rssi of -48dBm and SNR of 7. An optional ‘verbose mode’ is available on the IK Trax LoRa Base Station which outputs a serial string with the same information but in a human readable format. The final “ACK sent” string indicates that the IK Trax LoRa Base Station sent an acknowledgement to the the 4003 unit sending the message.
4.14. RECOMMENDED MAGNET ARRANGEMENT The magnets should be spaced equally around the pig body with all magnets oriented with the same poles facing outwards e.g. all north poles facing outwards (as shown) or all south poles facing outwards. It is critical that the magnets are not oriented with a mixture of north and south poles facing outwards as this may result in ‘dead-spots’...
When the blue light is flashing on the 4003 (approximately one flash every 2 seconds), enable the IK Trax Icon for the 4003 Bluetooth communication feature on your device and stand within 3 to 4 feet of the front glass of the unit with your handheld pointing at the glass window. Tap “SCAN”...
