INTRODUCTION
This manual contains general information for the Centinel
system, specific installation information, as well as setup and
operating instructions for a typical equipment configuration.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Centinel is a downhole measurement system designed
for use with electrical submersible pumping equipment in
oilfield, water, mining and other applications. It is comprised of
three components: (1) downhole sensor, (2) the Surface
Inductor Package (SIP), (3) the Surface Electronics Panel
(SEP). When installed, the Centinel will provide highly
accurate, reliable measurements of downhole pressure and
temperature.
Centinel GCS System
Centinel can be used as a stand-alone unit or as part of a
system that includes a variable speed drive or motor controller.

INITIAL CHECKS
Before installing the equipment, check the unit for:
POWER WIRING
The Auxiliary Power Supply (APS) is connected to the
Centinel Interface Module (CIM) via the CITIBus
communication cable. It converts the supplied 120VAC into
the +24VDC required to power the surface electronic
devices. 1 The Centinel Power Supply unit (CPS) provides the
60 to 90VDC required by the downhole tool. It is also powered
by 120VAC and is connected to the CIM and to the Surface
Inductor Panel. The output of the surface inductor is
connected to the downhole power cable, and as such has
high voltage present on its lugs and connectors. Use proper
precautions when connecting, inspecting and commissioning
these connections. [See Appendix B]

information, consult the GCS Expansion I/O Manual available
through Centrilift.
When integrated into a GCS system, the analog outputs are
identified according to their signal source parameter. This
will correlate one value (e.g. Centinel pressure) to an analog
output of interest (e.g. EIO3, AO2). This functionality is also
covered in the GCS Expansion I/O Manual.
BASIC OPERATION
Information from the downhole sensor is transmitted by
means of a modulated DC current to the Surface Electronics
Panel (SEP) via the Surface Inductor Panel (SIP). The surface
inductor package will superimpose a DC Voltage supplied by
the Centinel Power Supply (CPS) unit onto the downhole AC
power cable. The downhole sensor intermittently attenuates
this DC voltage creating a modulated DC current upon the AC
power cable. This modulated current is routed through the
CPS to the CIM surface electronic unit which decodes the
embedded serial information.
Centinel
The Centinel downhole sensor maintains a record of its own
serial number and calibration information with the device.
After sending the serial number as part of the start-up
initialization, the sensor only transmits data values for
pressure and temperatures.
The Centinel initialization sequence takes approximately one
minute every time the downhole tool is powered up. The
pressure and temperatures are updated with new values
every 17 seconds thereafter.
COMMISSIONING
Centinel is designed to be a simple, stand alone unit that
operates without operator calibration and with a minimum
amount of operator configuration. Additionally, the Centinel
unit is designed to operate with or without a GCS display unit
attached. However, connecting a GCS display unit will assist
with initial installation and troubleshooting efforts. Therefore,
the following section of the manual depicts the use of this
optional GCS display unit. Note that if a display unit is used,
compatible software must be loaded. Consult the inside front
cover for applicable software revisions.
SURFACE INDUCTOR
INSTALLATION
NOTE: As lethal voltages may be present, Centinel
equipment should be installed, adjusted and serviced by
qualified electrical maintenance personnel. Before
beginning any work ensure power has been disconnected
and locked out.
SENSOR INSTALLATION
The Centinel downhole sensor is electrically connected to the
bottom of the motor by attaching the Centinels I-wire
connection to the Y-point of the windings. This point is found
in the base of the motor, behind the motor base cap.
If the motor is an upper tandem motor, a Y-point shorting plug
should be installed prior to sensor installation.
Use the following procedure to install the I-wire receptacle
(female connector PN 902622) on the motors Y-point that
connects to the Centinel downhole sensor.
Y-CONNECTION/I-WIRE
1. To reduce the amount of oil loss, support the motor so
that the base is above the motor head. Remove the
shipping cap from the Centinel downhole sensor.
Replace the O-rings on the sensor head.
2. Remove the motor base cap and save the fasteners.
3. Carefully uncoil the I-wire (wire from Y-point) from the
motor base. If the I-wire end has been wrapped, cut
off approximately one to two inches from the end of
the wire. Likewise, if the wire has been encased in
shrink tubing; carefully remove about 4.25 (10.8 cm)
of shrink tubing from the wires to expose a workable
amount of wire.
4. Clean wires with alcohol.

(0.635cm). The socket is now ready to accept the
plug from the Centinel sensor. [Figure 9]

INSTALLING ON MOTOR
NOTE: Although built as a rugged piece of equipment,
this sensor contains delicate pieces of electronic
instrumentation and should be handled as such. Proper
handling should be exercised to insure no extreme shock
or electrical interference (static). Never put tension or
stress on the connection wires and never
support
the motor/string weight by only the
attached sensor.
Place the sensor near the end of the motor. Plug I-wire
connectors together by pushing the Centinel plug so it seats
firmly against the white insulator/receiver on the I-wire from
the motor. Then, push the black boot over the top of the whole
assembly so the insulators slide back into the boot, where the
internal groove on the boot seats on top of the Centinel plugs
raised ring. This will be fairly tight. When the motor
temperature option is not used, carefully coil I-wire into the
end of the motor and end of the Centinel unit. [Figure 10]
NOTE: There are two considerations when installing a 1
Kohm RTD kit (PN 901896) for motor temperature
measurement:
1. When installed at a field service center, consult
manufacturing method MM9770 for proper procedure.
This details installing the RTD into the base plate.

MENU SCREEN
The MENU screen provides access to each of the subscreens in the Centinel system. It is the initial screen shown
for a CIM master system. For other applications with the CIM
as a slave, the Status and Setup screens are located within
the GCS Modules, Centinel Module sub-screen selection.
Move the cursor over the appropriate square using the arrow
keys and press ENTER to display that screen.
Screen 1
GCS MODULES
The GCS Modules screen provides access to the input/output
module screens as well as the Centinel module when
integrated into a GCS variable speed drive or motor controller
system. The setup and calibration is performed in the factory,
so these screens are used to view the present configuration.
ONBOARD I/O
The Onboard I/O menu provides access to the inputs and
outputs available within the Centinel Interface Module itself.
Select Onboard I/O and press the ENTER key to view the
pertinent menus.

GAUGE TYPE
Once the gauge detection method has been specified, the
Gauge Type will display whatever gauge has been sensed (in
auto detect mode, or whatever has been manually specified).
Screen 10 shows the Centinel GCS Setup Screen at power up,
before the gauge type has been determined.
Screen 11
The user can enter a value into any of the channels to linearly
offset the data readings due to a predefined drift in the sensor.
Screen 11 shows the Centinel GCS Setup Screen at power up
with 0.0 PSIa pressure offset and 0.0 F temperature offset.
Once the gauge type is identified as Centinel 3 (as shown in
Screen 12), the motor temperature offset and the internal fluid
resistance will be added to the screen.

CENTINEL UNITS
There are two options for the units of the Centinel parameters:
imperial (abbreviated IMP) and SI (Systme International
d'units, i.e. International System of units). The imperial units
are PSIa and degrees Fahrenheit. The SI units are bars and
degrees Celsius.

PICK-UP PROCEDURE
For more detailed information on pickup procedures refer to
the Field Service Manual or the manufacturing specifications
for lifting motors.
RUN-IN-HOLE PROCEDURE
While running in-hole, the Centinel system can be checked by
performing the following procedure:
1. When used in a GCS system, verify that the output of the
switchboard or VSC transformer is not connected to the
motor cables.
2. Verify that the motor cables are connected to the cables
of the choke, i.e. Centinel Surface Inductor Package (SIP).
3. Between the junction box and cable reel on location,
connect one wire between the ground of the junction box
and the armor of the cable reel. If the cabling has not
been completed between the junction box and the SIP,
the wire will need to be connected between the SIP and
the cable reel. Be sure both wires make good contact and
observe all customer safety requirements.
4. When used in a GCS system, power up the host device
and go to GCS Modules, Centinel Module screen. In a
stand-alone system select status screen. Verify the
status portion changes from Idle to Init and the PS level
changes as necessary for proper communications.
5. After the first packet is received, the serial number (S/N)
should change from 0 to the appropriate value of the
gauge in question. The status should change from Init to
Rcvng PT.
6. Upon receiving the next packet, the displayed pressure
and temperature values should change from 0.0 to the
respective sensor values.
7. Verify with the next few packets that the values remain
fairly constant.
8. Power down host device or stand-alone system.
9. Remove wire connection to cable reel.
24
MAINTENANCE
Only minor adjustment and basic interconnection should be necessary
on initial start-up. Over time, some common sense maintenance
should be observed.
Operating Temperatures:
The surface electronic units are rated for operation in temperatures
between 0C to +55C (standard GCS operating temperatures).
Keep Surface Unit Clean:
As with any electronic equipment, cleanliness will enhance operating
life.
Keep Connections Tight:
The equipment should be kept away from high vibration areas that
could loosen connections or cause chafing of wires. All
interconnections should be re-tightened at initial start-up and at least
every six months.
25
TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The Centinel equipment should be installed, adjusted and
serviced by qualified electrical maintenance personnel.
WARNING
The following warnings must be heeded. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or death!
26
ERROR RECOVERY
In the event of loss of communication from the Centinel Power
Supply, the Centinel Interface Module will react accordingly:
1. If the incoming signal from the Centinel Power Supply
(CPS 0-10Vdc) is lost, the software will reset the gauge
by interrupting the 120Vac power supply to the CPS.
The software will then wait 30 seconds, apply power to
the CPS again and attempt to detect the gauge
initialization sequence. If an error occurs during the
initialization process, there will be three retries before
shutting down on err. Within the main status screen,
the type of error will be announced according to the
self-diagnostics section below.
2. If the software counts 5 consecutive errors in packets
received from the CPS, the Centinel Interface Module
(CIM) will attempt to re-initialize the communication link.
This is done by interrupting the power to the CPS,
waiting 30 seconds, then re-applying power to the
gauge and attempting to detect the initialization
sequence from the gauge. Reception of a packet with a
valid CRC causes the error counting to be reset to zero.
In other words, a sequence of up to four bad packets
followed by one good packet will not cause the CPS
power to be interrupted.
SELF DIAGNOSTICS
There are four types of errors that the Centinel system detects:
1. Centinel Signal Loss- This is usually a momentary
announcement in the status screen while the CIM
cycles power.
2. Centinel Short Circuit- Indicates that a short circuit has
occurred between the signal cable and ground.
3. Centinel Open Circuit- Indicates that an open circuit
condition exists with either the signal cable or ground.
4. Centinel Noise- Indicates that too many communication
packets have CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors
which is interpreted as excessive noise.
