ETC’s products may seem simple, but there is quite a bit of intelligence just below the surface. We are committed to ensuring that our customers and partners know how to effectively setup and operate our products to get the most value possible.
Please check out our upcoming live interactive training sessions and sign up to reserve your spot. If you can’t make these sessions, please do check out the pre-recorded sessions that you can take on your own schedule. If there is a topic that you would like training on, please contact us and we will do our best to build and deliver a course in the near future.
While plunger sensors are one of the least expensive parts on a plunger well, they can often cost operators more than just their price. Most plunger sensors feature an electromagnetic coil that picks up the plunger as it moves by. Many plunger arrivals can be missed if the plunger travels slowly, stalls before reaching the sensor, or does not have enough ferrous content. Other times, they can falsely signal an arrival when picking up lightning and inference from other nearby systems.
All of these issues combined with high sensor failure rates leads to downtime, poor optimization, and increased equipment costs. Geomagnetic sensing uses modern sensors and a microprocessor to read, filter, and react to changes in the earth’s magnetic field when the plunger nears the surface. This leads to the most rugged and reliable plunger sensors and opens up the door to sensing plunger velocity at surface that can enhance the safety and maintenance of plunger wells.
There is often a lot of confusion when it comes to understanding standards, testing organizations, and hazardous area classifications. We will go through explaining all of these concepts, how to read a certification label, and how to effectively install equipment that may reside in one zone but be connected to devices in another zone.
Vision is a free tool available for download from the ETC website. Once installed, the Vision tool will check for both program and content updates whenever you open it while connected to the Internet.
Use Vision and Link to connect to ETC controllers and sensors to check their firmware version and upgrade to the latest available update.
Use Vision and Link to connect to any ETC sensor to see real time data. This allows the user to see what the sensor sees and make adjustments to enhance the sensor’s performance.
