1. Product Description
ACE Reliance is a downhole sensor designed to be deployed in non-ESP wells (GasLift, PCP, Rod Lift, Hydraulic
Lift, naturally flowing wells …).
ACE Reliance sensor consists of two main components - a downhole instrument and a surface read-out unit. The
downhole instrument is a completely sealed, welded device. The instrument electronics are not exposed to
damaging well fluid caused by leaking threads, seals, O-rings or drain/fill valves. Power to downhole sensor and
communication is provided by a TEC cable.

The surface readout (SRU) provides optically isolated RS-485 and RS-232 Modbus ports for remote
connections to virtually all wired SCADA control systems. The premium SRU2i readout includes all the features

of the SRU then adds a higher resolution display, Ethernet, USB, analog outputs and relays plus built in data-
logging that will record unlimited readings from the downhole device to removable SD memory cards. The SRU2i
also includes insulation monitoring. The SRU3i adds direct Wi-Fi local connection plus direct connection to Baker
Hughes VSD’s. The SRU's operates from nominal 120 VAC50/60Hzline voltage. ACE Optix is a battery
powered, solar power capable version.

WARNING: Ensure an appropriate strip gauge is used for 1,000 PSI and for 10,000 PSI sensor models. Using a wrong strip gauge will lead to
incorrectly stripped TEC cable which may cause a sensor failure.
