Recalibration is unnecessary due to the probe's sealed design. The probe has a flat frequency response typically within 3 dB from 100 Hz to 10KHz. The unique design and high standards have virtually eliminated frequency related measurement errors common to other systems. The surface Analyzer offers several features to meet the demands of a variety of applications. The band-pass mode gives the operator the ability to provide enhanced frequency discrimination.
Operators can also choose to monitor downhole activity through headphones.
With the headphones, operators can monitor any of the metered channels, or the unfiltered output from the probe. An auxiliary output provides RMS BCD voltages for stripchart recording for interfacing to a computer. The probe's casing is manufactured using Nitronic - 50 specifically for it's corrosion resistance and ability to withstand up to 15,000 psi. The AcoustiSonde is designed to be quickly disassembled, cleaned and reassembled, for the next use. Each tool includes a set of operating and service manuals, including electrical and mechanical drawings.
