Sage DYN software
Installation instructions A CD-ROM containing the Sage DYN software is included with purchase of the AFL IV with Dynamometer.
The Sage DYN is designed to work with any Windows 7, Windows XP or Windows Vista computer. This means that you can use your field portable computer to gather data and save it to a disk or USB memory stick, then use your office computer and printer to analyze the data and print a fluid level report.
To install the Sage DYN software, insert the CD into the CD-drive of your Windows computer. The CD will autorun. Please be patient during the installation, as several programs are being installed. One of these automatic installs, the CutePDF Writer, will allow you to save the fluid level report to an Adobe .pdf file, for email transmission.
The CD is not required in the field, once the software is installed on the field computer. Feel free to install the Sage DYN software on any other office or field computers. Then store the CD.

spacer be permanently installed between the carrier bar and the permanent rod clamp. The spool
spacer has dimension that allows the Horseshoe Load Cell and a special hydraulic lift mechanism to
be inserted in the spool spacer. The hydraulic lift occurs with the help of a hand pump and hydraulic
hose. As the unit lifts up, a small shim spacer is inserted between the lift and the Horseshoe Load
Cell. Then as the hydraulic pressure is released, the load is applied through the shim spacer directly
onto the horseshoe load cell. The hydraulic hose is removed, the pumping unit started, and you are
ready for the dynamometer test.
Method Two, the hydraulic lift method, allows for the most accurate use of the Horseshoe
Load Cell, without the corresponding thickness offset of 3½ inches caused by inserting the load cell as in
Method One.
Whereas in Method One, the entire rod string is lifted by the 3½- inch vertical height of the
Horseshoe Load Cell, which causes the pump plunger to be further separated from the standing valve and
to operate in a different (higher) part of the pump barrel. And sometimes this will cause pump
performance during the test to be different from actual pump performance. The different pump spacing
will cause a slightly different compression ratio, and will change the look of gas interference and other
effects. By using Method Two, the hydraulic lift method, the pump spacing is changed only slightly,
which causes a minimal change to the pumping string.
The 3 ½-inch Horseshoe Load Cell is a very versatile and accurate way to measure polish rod
load. One Horseshoe Load Cell allows you to deal with both common methods of load cell insertion
without the need for varying load cells.
The readings from the Horseshoe Load Cell are gathered using the Sage DYN software, to obtain
a surface card. A downhole pump card is calculated using the rod string detail. Both a standing and a
traveling valve test can be performed. The software calculates pump leakage, standing valve leakage,
traveling valve leakage and other items. A counterbalance may also be performed.
The Horseshoe Load Cell has an in-the-field zero transducer function. The in-the-field calibration
allows for greater absolute accuracy and compensation for transducer drift over time. Sage Technologies
also offers a complete recalibration service if needed, on all load cells.
