SPS-1500 Troubleshooting
The SPS-1500 may experience communication problems due to noisy environments,
grounding problems, or installation issues. The LCD on the SPS-1500 will display
certain error codes depending on the failure the controller is detecting. Below is a list of
common error codes and possible solutions to assist with troubleshooting the SPS-
1500. To change the settings recommended you will need to use Memory Tools as
described in Section 4 of the SPS-1500 Operations Manual (document number 006-
0202-00).
SCOUT-3000 Operation Settings (WHERE DOES THIS FIT?)
Note: During normal start-up communications with the tool you will see error
messages such as “High Amp”, “Low Amp”, “DC to DC Bad”, “Analyze 1”
through “Analyze 16” as well as other normal messages that are all part of
acquiring the tool. After the Scout analyzes the line current from the tool you
will see the message “SPS Power OFF” a couple of times and then it will go
through 2 or 3 phase Sync packages and then begin to get header data. This is
all part of normal operations of the SPS-1500. There is only a concern when an
error message is repeated multiple times and communications is not
established with the gauge after several minutes.
Note: Many problems with the SPS-1500 can be solved with proper grounding
techniques. A good ground must be established from the production tubing at
wellhead back to the ground point at the surface package for proper operation.
Note: Corrections represent individual actions in the sequence they should be
tried. If one doesn’t work try the next one.
