Introduction

General Description
Part number PWLA0008
The Run in Panel is a small self contained portable unit for
testing a down-hole WellLIFT system (WellLIFT-E and WellLIFT-
H). It can be used during field operations and in test labs or
workshop environments.
The WellLIFT Run in Panel is designed to allow continual
logging during installation using a built in rechargeable battery,
decode electronics and short range radio modem. The Run in
Panel is housed in a compact and durable case that can be
strapped to the inside of a cable drum.
The internal electronics are the same as those used in the HVI

 2BSafety Recommendation

Safety Recommendation
WellLIFT equipment should be installed, adjusted and serviced
by qualified electrical maintenance personnel. Improper
installation or operation of the equipment may cause injury to
personnel or equipment. This equipment must be installed and
grounded in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

Potentially lethal voltages exist within the Run in Panel. Extreme care
must be taken to ensure the power switch on eth Run in Panel is off
before beginning installation, maintenance and repair jobs.

Standard safety gear must be worn at all times including, but

not limited to: Safety glasses, gloves and steel-toe boots.

Electrical Safety During Installation

The WellLIFT Run in Panel outputs 160 VDC to power the
down-hole unit. Confirm that the master power switch is off and
the equipment has been allowed to discharge, before working on
the equipment.
1. Wait 30 seconds after the power is switched off, for
the residual current to drain away, before disconnecting
the crocodile clips from the connection wire on the MGU.
2. Do not disconnect the down-hole unit while the
master power switch is on.
3. Connection to an AC line is very hazardous. You
MUST ONLY use a DC power supply.
4. This unit is designed for use with DC only and MUST
NOT be used as a substitute for the HVI panel for a
field installation. There are no AC blocking components
used inside this panel, it is only designed to work on a
system that is isolated from the motor drive / supply
panel.
5. The typical output of the Run in Panel is 160VDC. Care
must be taken to comply with local requirements for
using this voltage level. If it is used for continuous
logging, the rig crew must be informed that the 3 phase
cable is powered to this voltage during installation.
6. Before you start live running-in of the equipment,
check to see if you need a permit to use the
Bluetooth modems, supplied with the Run in Panel,
at the site.

Edition 2.00 (04/2009) • 9 •

Run in Panel – SECTION 2: USER GUIDE

Stored Energy
The Run in Panel contains 2 x 12V sealed lead acid gel batteries
wired in series; they have a capacity of 24 volts @ 7.5 Ah.
These battery cells are designed for use in all orientations and
are self-venting/ self healing design.
Care should be taken when using or charging the unit.
The Battery line is fused and there is external access to the
fuse.
Wait for 30 seconds after switching off the master power switch, before
removing the crocodile clips from the MGU or simulator connections.

Bluetooth Radio Modem

WARNING
Before you use the radio modems, check to see if you need a permit for
them.

The Run in Panel has the option to use a short-range radio

modem. This is a 2.4GHz Bluetooth 2 way communication link
and acts as a wireless serial link.
The modem can be isolated by switch and by removing the local
power fuse to the modem. If the radio link is disabled, the panel
can still be used by connecting a standard null modem 9 way
serial cable (PCAB0005).
The modems used in the Run in Panel are matched pairs. If one
breaks or fails, the unit must be returned so that both can be
replaced. A modem supplied with a different Run in Panel will
not work.

Gauge Connection
The Run in Panel is only intended for use with Motor Gauge
units (MGUs) or WellLIFT down-hole simulators. The power
supply available from the Run in Panel is matched to the
required input voltage of the MGU unit. NO OTHER GAUGE
should be directly connected to the Run in Panel. Irreversible
damage will be caused to all other types of auxiliary gauges
(discharge, flow etc.) used with WellLIFT as they operate at a
much lower voltage level.
If you want to check an auxiliary gauge, for example a DGU, you
must connect an MGU to the Run in Panel then connect the
auxiliary gauge to the MGU to draw power from its Electronic
connection point.

 2BSafety Recommendation

Charging the Run in Panel

WARNING
The batteries MUST NOT be charged in a sealed environment. Place the
Run in Panel in a well ventilated area and open the case lid.

Ensure the case lid is open while the batteries are charging; the
Run in Panel must not be sealed airtight when the batteries are
being charged. The batteries we use do not vent during normal
charging cycles, but under fault conditions, i.e. if over charged or
charged too quickly, will vent to prevent explosion. At this point
explosive gasses are emitted and these must not be stored in an
airtight container.
The batteries may only be serviced by returning the unit to the
manufacturer.

 3BRun in Panel Overview

Run in Panel Overview

Display Options
The Run in Panel decodes the gauge data and outputs a serial
RS232 data stream in the same format as the HVI panel. From
this point the data can be displayed on any standard display
equipment used with the WellLIFT system:
■ Standard PC / laptop using Commissioner software
■ GCS display (standard WellLIFT stand alone surface display
package).

Charging
The batteries MUST NOT be charged in a sealed environment. Place the
Run in Panel in a well ventilated area and open the case lid.

We recommend that you only charge the Run in Panel using the
supplied charger.
The unit should be fully charged before you start using it.
Typically, to charge completely, this takes between 12 and 16
hours when you use the supplied charger. You can use the Run
in Panel while it is charging from the mains, but this increases
the time it takes to fully charge the batteries.
Always fully charge the battery before using the Run in Panel,
you cannot charge the batteries while it is fixed inside the drum.

Serial Connection – RS232

If local conditions or regulations do not allow you to use the
modems, the Run in Panel can be connected to the
recording/display device using a null modem cable (PCAB0005
– one is supplied with the unit).

Bluetooth Radio Modem

Before you use the radio modems, check to see if you need a permit for
them.

The modems are matched items; the modem inside the Run in
Panel only operates with the supplied PC wireless modem. This
allows a number of Run in Panels to be used in close proximity
to each other. The modems are configured to work as a pair (the
modem in the Run in Panel and the loose PC modem) at the
point of manufacture and each modem has a unique
identification code. Because of this, if either needs to be

Edition 2.00 (04/2009) • 13 •

Run in Panel – SECTION 2: USER GUIDE

replaced the entire Run in Panel must be returned so that new

modems can be paired.
Full details of the Radio modem can be found in Modems on
page 23 and in Specifications and Rating on page 31.

6. Before you start live running-in of the equipment,

check to see if you need a permit to use the
Bluetooth modems, supplied with the Run in Panel,
at the site.

Safety – MGU
As lethal voltages may be present, WellLIFT equipment
should be installed, adjusted and serviced by qualified
electrical maintenance personnel. Before beginning any
work, ensure power has been disconnected and locked out.
WARNING: A high integrity ground MUST be attached to
the case of the MGU at all times when it is powered. Failure
to make this connection will result in the MGU metal case rising
to the supply voltage; this is typically over 150V DC. The MGU
ground must also have a bonded wire to the case of the surface
equipment used to test the gauge to stop potential differences
between the two occurring and completing the signal return
path.
Although built as a rugged piece of equipment, the MGU
contains delicate pieces of electronic instrumentation and
should be handled as such. Proper handling should be
exercised to ensure no extreme shock or electrical
interference (static).

Setting up the Run in Panel

1. Ensure that the Master power switch is set to off.
2. Open the lid. The cable, antenna, modem and gauge
connection parts are generally stored in this area – remove
them to give access to the top plate.

3. Check the fuses are in place:

○ Battery = 5A, is the main battery fuse.
○ Wireless = 2A is the isolation fuse for the wireless
modem.
You can remove the wireless modem fuse and replace the
carrier empty if the modem cannot be used. This stops the
modem being powered up even if the selection switch is
moved to Wireless On.
4. Charge the unit, if it has not been charged.
WARNING
The batteries MUST NOT be charged in a sealed environment. Place
the Run in Panel in a well ventilated area and open the case lid.

5. If you cannot, or do not want to, use the modem go to

point 6.
If you can use the modem, set the Wireless switch to On.

the Run in Panel. Connect the PC modem to a serial port and
power up (using the supplied USB lead) or auxiliary 5 Volt
power supply. Once powered up the Green LNK LED lights
up and the Red OPR LED dims.
Setting the Wireless switch to On supplies power to the
modem and connects the comms link.
The modems used in the Run in Panel are matched pairs. If
one breaks or fails, the unit must be returned so that both can
be replaced. A modem supplied with a different Run in Panel
will not work.
6. If you cannot, or do not want to, use the modem set the
Wireless switch to Off. Connect the 9 way D connector on
the Run in Panel to a serial port on the PC.
The RS232 (serial) connector still transmits data when the

Lethal voltages are present within the case and on the crocodile clips
when input power is applied.

External voltages could be present on the crocodile clips and MGU

metal work even after the power is switched off. Allow 30 seconds for
the residual power to drain before disconnecting the wiring.

Although the unit is fitted in a Peli case the connections at the

back of the case are not airtight so the case is no longer
waterproof.

Troubleshooting
There are no user serviceable parts inside the case of the Run
in Panel.
If the LEDS do not light when the master power switch is set to
on, check the following:
1. Check that the batteries are charged; see Charging the Run
in Panel on page 11.
2. Check and replace the fuses if necessary;
○ Battery = 5A, is the main battery fuse.
○ Wireless = 2A is the isolation fuse for the wireless
modem.
You can remove the wireless modem fuse and replace the
carrier empty if the modem cannot be used. This stops the
modem being powered up even if the selection switch is
moved to wireless.
If the LEDs still do not light, then you must return the panel to
ProductionQuest for repair or replacement.

Commissioner software with the Run in Panel, for full details of
the software refer to the Commissioner Software User Guide.

Serial Data
If you are checking a WellLIFT-H installation, the Discharge
Temperature displays as -50°C (-58°F) as this value is not
recorded by this type of MGU.

Starting the software

1. Start the Commissioner software, the welcome window is
displayed. The header bar at the top of the latest version of
the software shows Commissioner V2.0.

 10BAppendix B: LED functions

Appendix B: LED functions

LEDs
There are three LEDs on the rear of the Run in Panel. These
give a visual diagnostic of the system’s performance across the
HV power link.
Name Colour Description
Transmit Yellow Goes ON/OFF (flickers) when the Run in Panel
sends a data packet.
Tool Green Goes ON/OFF each time a valid gauge data
packet is decoded.
It takes approximately one minute before the
green LED starts to indicate valid data
Heartbeat Red Pulses at different rates to indicate the condition
of the on board processing of gauge data:
○ Slow (approximately every 4 seconds) shows
that the Run in Panel is idle
○ Fast (approximately every 1 second) second
when gauge data is received (data
transmissions on the line)
If the pulse rate for this LED is more than 2 a
second, this shows excessive noise on the line.
