The device is designed to be mounted to the spooling arm of a wireline unit.

BOX 850 Simonton,Texas 77476 Phone: 281.342.6415 Fax: 281.342.4848 benchmarkwireline.com 2.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DEPTH MEASUREMENT: The AM5K Measuring Head uses dual spring-loaded measuring wheels to measure the amount of wireline moving to and from the borehole. The measuring wheels are coupled to one or two optical encoders that transmit electrical signals via a cable to the hoistman’s panel and/or logging computer.

BOX 850 Simonton,Texas 77476 Phone: 281.342.6415 Fax: 281.342.4848 benchmarkwireline.com OPERATION SPOOLING ARM INSTALLATION – OVERHEAD SPOOLING ARM Install the measuring head on to the spooling arm by using the top adapter mount assembly to mount to an overhead spooling arm. The mount is designed to mount with a standard U-joint yoke.

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.

BOX 850 Simonton,Texas 77476 Phone: 281.342.6415 Fax: 281.342.4848 benchmarkwireline.com CABLE INSTALLATION To install cable, first open the wheels by shifting the red release handles. Next, remove the push pin, and hinge the head open. Lifting up on the wireline cable makes it easier to remove the push pin. The cable can now be inserted or removed.

BOX 850 Simonton,Texas 77476 Phone: 281.342.6415 Fax: 281.342.4848 benchmarkwireline.com CABLE REMOVAL UNDER LOAD 3.4.1 If under load, the load will need to be removed from the device prior to removing the retaining pin. A “C-clamp" or a nylon "ratchet strap" can be used to remove the load.

BOX 850 Simonton,Texas 77476 Phone: 281.342.6415 Fax: 281.342.4848 benchmarkwireline.com CHANGING CONFIGURATION BETWEEN OPEN HOLE AND CASED HOLE A measuring head configured for open hole will typically contain a magnetic mark detector and a 2 encoder. Cased hole operations rarely require a magnetic mark detector and typically use only one encoder.

The load pin does not need to be changed. To account for the decreased bend angle of the cable, the Load Cell Angle value will need to be changed when using this wheel (refer to page 11).

Since the wireline cable actually bends over the tension wheel, the bend radius of the wireline cable will affect the tension measurement.
