All of the above utilize the same electronic PCB, Antenna, Battery, and run the same
Firmware. The PCB in each case is packaged in a fully enclosed stainless steel enclosure.
Each model includes a different transducer element wired to the PCB (such as a strain gauge,
or thermistor).
The instructions and pictures below depict the WPRT model. All other models will be similar
except for differences in the physical form factor.

WPRT Installation:
1. Clamp the Wireless Polished Rod Transducer (WPRT) to the polished rod on the oil
well below the carrier bar.
2. Install the antenna as shown. It is desirable that the antenna
be pointed upwards during operation.
3. Press the Power button on the WPRT as indicated below:
a. The LED above the Power button will proceed with the LED test, (illuminating
three green, and then three red LEDs).
b. Following the LED test, the Power button LED will flash a maximum of ten times
in rapid succession to indicate battery power. A fully charged battery will flash
ten times, with fewer flashes as the battery charge drops. Recharge the battery
when the flashes reduce to two.
c. Following the battery test, the Power LED will flash once per second to indicate
the WPRT is ready to proceed.
4. Press the Install button as shown below:
a. The Install LED will flash RED if the WPRT it too tight or flash GREEN if it is too
loose. Tighten or loosen the knob as needed until the LED illuminates solid
