1.0 QUICK START GUIDE
Determine wireline size to be used – 3/16” to 3/8”

Since the wireline wraps around the depth wheel, the circumference of the depth
wheel will change with a change in wire size. The wheel size setting needs to be set
to match the wireline size in order to accurately measure depth.

These corrections are automatically made in the BenchMark hoistman's panel by

selecting the proper cable size using the menu. If a different panel is used, the
wheel size will need to be entered at this time.

2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATIONS
The AM3K Measuring Device combines in one compact, lightweight unit,
both depth measurement and line tension measurement capabilities.

The wireline runs across three steel wheels which create a force on the
load axle normal to the axis of the wireline. The center wheel is a hardened
2.0000 ft. (609.600 mm) circumference wheel with a 3/8" groove. This
wheel is slightly offset from the other two which creates a slight bend in the
cable. As wireline tension increases the small offset creates a
corresponding bending force on the strain-gauged load axle. An electronic
signal is transmitted via an electrical cable to the hoistman’s panel and/or
logging computer representing wireline tension. A calibration resistor is
included in the load pin to send out a signal to calibrate the computer
system.

The measuring wheel is coupled to an optical encoder that transmits

electrical signals via an electrical cable to the hoistman’s panel and/or
logging computer representing cable depth and speed.

An independently powered encoder and display panel are used for back up
depth indication. It uses a magnetic sensor to eliminate the need for a
mechanical drive cable and mechanical counter.

A spring mounted tension roller is used to hold the measuring wheel in

contact with the wireline to prevent cable slippage under low tension
conditions. The two steel guide rollers properly hold the cable in line with
the measuring wheel. Two composite guide rollers are provided to keep the
wireline in the head under no load conditions.

Wear blocks are used to prohibit cable contact with the frame members.
The head is resistant to corrosion by anodized all aluminum parts and
using SST or plated steel parts. All the bearings are SST and greaseable
to increase their useful life.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 10 of 130

 2.1 DEPTH MEASUREMENT
The AM3K uses a single measuring wheel to measure the amount of
wireline moving to and from the borehole. The measuring wheel is coupled to
an encoder that transmits electrical signals via a cable to the hoistman’s
panel and/or logging computer representing cable travel. An independently
powered encoder and display panel is used for back up depth indication.

The hardened measuring wheel has a 2.0000 ft. (609.600 mm)

circumference with a 3/8" groove. A spring mounted tension roller is used to
hold the measuring wheel in contact with the wireline.

Two guide rollers are used to properly hold the cable in line with the
measuring wheel. Wear blocks are also used to guide the cable and prohibit
cable contact with the frame members. The frame members are anodized
6061-T6 aluminum.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 11 of 130

 2.2 TENSION MEASUREMENT
The AM3K uses an electronic load axle on the measuring wheel to measure
line tension. Three wheels are used to create a force on the load axle normal
to the axis of the wireline. To generate this force the wheel mounted on the
load axle is offset from the other two slightly. This offset creates a slight bend
in the cable.

As wireline tension increases the small offset creates a corresponding

bending force on the strain-gauged load axle. An electronic signal is
transmitted via cable to the hoistman’s panel and/or logging computer
representing wireline tension. A calibrate resistor is included in the load pin to
send out a signal to calibrate the computer system.

 3.2 ECOSEAL OPTION
The Ecoseal option on the AM3K measuring head is for jobs using coated
line. The Ecoseal wire is covered with a durable plastic material that does not
require grease for lubrication. The green line-protectors in the measuring
head are designed to protect the line coating by prohibiting the wire from
rubbing on any metal surfaces in the measuring head.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 24 of 130

 3.3 CABLE INSTALLATION
To install cable, remove the push pin, and hinge the head open. Next
insert the cable, swing the head closed and reinsert the pin. Refer to picture.

Make sure that the head can freely sit on the wireline. If the mounting
arrangement will not let the head travel up and down freely and if the cable
puts a upward or downward force on the measuring head, this force will
cause an offset to the tension measurement which will result in an incorrect
tension reading.

 3.4 SYSTEM OPERATION

3.4.1 Determine cable size to be used – 3/16” to 3/8”

Since the wireline cable actually bends around the measuring wheel,
the circumference of the wheel is affected by the size of the cable. To
accurately measure depth, this needs to be taken into account by
increasing the size of the wheel. The bend radius of the wireline cable
also affects the tension measurement.

These corrections are automatically made in the BenchMark Hoist

Panel by selecting the proper cable size using the menu.

To enter wheel size corrections directly, use one of the wheel

circumferences listed here.

4.0 MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
4.1 PRE-JOB CHECK

Each time the system is used, perform the following steps:

Verify that the AM3K is properly and securely attached to the spooling arm.
Several different mounting kits are available for different types of spooling
arms.

Verify that the depth measuring wheels are clean and that no groove has
been worn into the measuring wheel surface.

Check the measuring and guide wheels for looseness, play, out-of-
roundness, worn or rough sounding bearings, or other mechanical conditions
that could affect measurement accuracy.

Ensure that the wheel bearings inner race is not spinning on the shaft and
that the shaft is not spinning in the bushings.

Verify that all fasteners are tight and that the ball lock pushpin is secure.

Verify that the encoder, electronic load pin, and backup counter cable are
installed and properly routed.

Verify that the depth system is working by turning the wheel and observing
the hoistman’s panel and backup display unit to indicate cable movement.

The hoistman's panel and backup display should measure approximately 2'
for each rotation of the wheel.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 28 of 130

 4.2 POST-JOB MAINTENANCE
At the completion of each job, thoroughly clean and dry the device as soon as
possible. This avoids problems caused from borehole residues transferred
from the wireline onto the measuring device. Borehole residues should be
washed from the device with a cleaning solvent such as Varsol or an
equivalent type. Rinse the device with water, dry, and wipe down with an oily
rag.

Do not pressure wash

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 29 of 130

 4.3 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Visually inspect the interiors of the electrical connectors for the encoders and
electronic load axle for dirt and evidence of insulation breakdown. Clean or
replace as necessary. Install dust caps on the connectors if the cables are
removed.

Manually rotate each wheel by hand to verify its condition. Inspect the depth
measuring wheels for signs of abnormal wear, diameter changes, or
shaft/bearing play that can affect measurement accuracy. The wheel should
be replaced if it is grooved more than .005". The wheel should be 7.639 /
7.640" (194 mm) in diameter with a 24" circumference (609.6 mm). Inspect
the two grooved guide wheels on either side of the tension wheel. They
should be 4" (101.6 mm) in diameter (bottom of groove).

Grease all the wheels and bearings that are fitted with a grease fitting (see
following diagram). Use a waterproof, marine grade grease. An inverted
grease nozzle (p/n AM5KP130) is supplied with each head. This nozzle will
fit any standard grease gun.

reinstall it and screw the adapter cover firmly in place.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 81 of 130

 4.8 MEASURING WHEEL REPLACEMENT continued

Now flip the machine over with the encoder side up.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 82 of 130

 4.8 MEASURING WHEEL REPLACEMENT continued

Verify that both seals on the encoder adapter are in good condition or replace
them. Then reinstall it with the larger center hole down. While looking at the
load pin, make sure that the backup is on the left and the plug on the right
side of the adapter. Insert the 4 screws and firmly tighten them.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 83 of 130

 4.8 MEASURING WHEEL REPLACEMENT continued

If you are using the same encoder, visually align the plastic encoder coupler
on the shaft with the coupling on the encoder. Gently drop the encoder into
the adapter body. While looking in the plug hole, rotate the wheel until you’re
sure the encoder and the shaft are connected.

If you’re using a new encoder, refer to 4.7 for the process of adding a new
coupling stack on the encoder and then use this installation process.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 84 of 130

 4.8 MEASURING WHEEL REPLACEMENT continued

The pickup must be properly oriented to work correctly. The slot should be
oriented to the top. The top side is the encoder side. Ensure that an o-ring is
inserted between the plastic housing and the mount. An additional o-ring is
used between the connector and the housing to keep moisture out.

If the backup display is counting backward (i.e. counting negative when going
downhole), simply rotate the pickup 180 degrees to change the direction.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 85 of 130

 4.8 MEASURING WHEEL REPLACEMENT continued

Replace the plug in the encoder adapter. Use Teflon thread tape and tighten
the plug firmly.

 4.10 BEARING REPLACEMENT

The process of changing bearings on wheels in the AM3K is very similar.

First remove the snap ring.

Next remove the seal guard.

Then turn the bearing over and remove the snap ring and seal guard on that
side also.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 89 of 130

 4.10 BEARING REPLACEMENT continued

You will now press the bearing out of the wheel.

Set up the press where the wheel is resting between two blocks with space
below so the bearing can be pressed out of the bottom of the wheel.

Place a socket or other fixture that can be pressed on to push the bearing out
of the wheel without pressing directly on the wheel.

AM3K MEASURING HEAD OCT 2019 Page 90 of 130

 4.10 BEARING REPLACEMENT continued

You will now press the new bearing into the wheel.

There is a small lubrication hole on the outside bearing race.

The wheel has a lubrication point.

Inside the wheel there is a groove cut that distributes lubricant from the
lubrication point into the bearing through the small hole.

Make sure to have the wheel oriented as shown and the bearing with the
small lubrication hole on the bottom edge.

Press the bearing into the wheels.

You’ll know when the bearing is pressed deep enough in the wheel when the
seal guards and snap rings fit snuggly on both the top and bottom of the
wheel.
