  3. Set Configuration Settings:

    • Surface Casing Vent Depth — Max Pressure: Enter depth (metres) and multiplier (kPa/m) to calculate the high-pressure alarm threshold. Example: 596.8 m × 10.5 kPa/m = 6,266.4 kPa.
    • Stabilized Shut-In Pressure Alarm: Set pressure range and shut-in duration for alarm notification.
    • Stabilized Flow Alarm Settings: Set max flow rate (LPM) and low-to-high flow setpoints.
    • Sample Rate: ≥60 seconds is recommended for long-term deployment tests.
