RELIABLE Designed for reliable operation in extreme conditions, Cyclops™ IS detects plunger arrivals from up to 3 feet away, and operates within a temperature range of -40oC to +70oC. Extensive testing has proven that even a slow-moving, non-ferrous plunger won’t slip by the omniscient eye of Cyclops™ IS. VERSATILE For utmost accuracy, Cyclops™ IS allows it’s user to adjust sensitivity levels easily with a built-in 7 setting dial. Lower sensitivity to eliminate false detects caused by nearby equipment or tools. Raise sensitivity to increase visibility of a plunger that doesn’t fully enter the lubricator, or to detect well movements caused when a non-ferrous plunger enters the lubricator.Cyclops™ IS operates over a wide range of voltages, simplifying inventory management. INTUITIVE Cyclops™ IS is protected by a rugged watertight aluminum enclosure filled with hardened epoxy. Built-in mounting slots support a standard hose clamp for easy and secure installation. Cyclops™ IS features a ½” NPT port that enables use of either a Teck connector and armored cable, or a standard cable gland and instrumentation cable. Captive screws in the enclosure lid ensure no lost time searching for fallen screws in snow or mud. LOW POWER Like all ETC products, Cyclops™ IS is designed to be extremely low power. On average, Cyclops™ IS draws less than 700 uA of current, fitting into all power budgets.power budgets. OPERATION Cyclops™ IS operates as a normally open dry contact. Simply connect the 3 wire interface to power, ground, and signal, and Cyclops™ IS is ready to detect any plunger.Cyclops™ IS uses a modern magnetic sensor chip as opposed to a traditional coil. This chip allows Cyclops™ IS to detect slow moving, or even static, plungers. Due to this magnetic sensing “eye”, the plunger does not have to fully travel past Cyclops™ IS to be “seen”; allowing a wider range of mounting locations.This unique design provides additional advantages including the ability to control the sensitivity and provide a clean 2 second switch closure. INSTALLATION Cyclops™ IS can be securely fixed to the lubricator or wellhead with a standard hose clamp through built-in clamp slots on the enclosure. Cyclops™ IS may be left in the default sensitivity position, or adjusted to accommodate different types of plungers and lubricators, and adapt to an individual well’s conditions.
