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 2 Optical Encoders that transmit electrical signals via a cable to the
Hoistman’s Panel and/or logging computer. An independently powered magnetic
Encoder is used for back up depth indication.
The hardened Measuring Wheels are 2.0000 ft. (.609600 m) in circumference. Springs
are used to hold the Measuring Wheels in contact with the wireline. The springs are
sized to provide the appropriate friction between the wheels and wireline. The frame
members are anodized 6061-T6 aluminum.
Under ideal conditions without magnetic marks, the Measuring Heads have an
accuracy of +/- 3 m in 3000 m (10 ft in 10,000 ft.). With magnetic marks and accurate
line stretch calculations, an accuracy of .3 m in 3000 m (1 ft in 10,000 ft) can be
achieved. The Hoistman’s Panel is required to fully utilize the mark detection and
stretch correction algorithms.

TENSION MEASUREMENT
The AM5K uses an Electronic Load Axle to measure line tension. Three wheels are
used to create a force on the Load Axle. To generate this force the wheel mounted on
the Load Axle is offset from the other 2 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.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:
WEIGHT: 58 lbs 26.3 kg
LENGTH: 26.5” 673.10 mm
HEIGHT: 10.8” 274.32 mm
WIDTH: 15.3” 388.62 mm
MAXIMUM TENSION: 25,000 lbs 11,339.80 kg
MEASURING WHEEL SIZE: 24.0” 609.60 mm
CABLE SIZES: .190” to .875” diameter (4.82 mm to
22.22 mm)
CABLE BEND OVER TENSION WHEEL: 2.5 – 7.5 degrees (depends on cable)
Minimal or no effects on magnetic
marks

3.0 OPERATION
3.1 HEAD-ON CABLE INSTALL
Make sure 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 an upward or downward
force on the Measuring Head, this force will cause an offset to the tension
measurement and result in an incorrect tension reading.

3.2 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.
Lift up on the wireline cable to make it easier to remove the push pin.
The cable can now be inserted or removed.

Close the red release handles to tighten the wheels against the wireline.
Swing the head closed and reinsert the pin.

3.3 CABLE REMOVAL UNDER LOAD
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.
Install a C-clamp across the top and bottom frames as shown in the drawing below.
The ratchet strap can be installed in a similar way.
Tighten the C-clamp until the load is removed from the retaining pin. Remove the
retaining pin then loosen and remove the C-clamp.

3.4 CHANGING BENCHMARK LOAD PIN WHILE DOWNHOLE
o Stop cable drum and set brake.
o Hold safety meeting with crew to ensure all persons are aware of roles and
responsibilities.
o Place cable clamp on cable approximately 1 ft away from the front of the lower
sheave (side facing winch drum). Tighten onto cable ensuring bolts are made
up crosswise.
o Spray a mark on the cable at the front of the clamp using spray paint.
o Attach chain and binder to cable clamp shackles and bind to a secure point.
Remove the slack from the chain so when the cable is slacked, the clamp does
not move forward too far and jam onto the lower sheave wheel.
o Slack cable on the drum 5 ft and monitor mark at the cable clamp for one minute
to ensure no slippage of cable through the clamp.
o Perform Load Pin change-out as per procedure below:
o Electronic Load Pin is held in place by one retaining ring on the outer end of its
shaft.
o Remove the retaining ring by using a small screwdriver to lift one end of the ring
out of the groove and then “walk” the ring off the pin.
o The Load Pin can then be removed from the mounting frame.
o Install the new Load Pin, replacing the retaining ring.
o Reattach data cable and ensure stable and correct readings are being seen on
the benchmark system.
o Pick up 5 ft of cable slack, set drum brake.
o Slacken and remove chain and binder.
o Slacken and remove cable clamp.
o Ensure Tension Values on benchmark system are reading correctly.
o Continue operation.

3.5 CHANGING CONFIGURATION BETWEEN OPEN HOLE AND
CASED HOLE
A Measuring Head configured for open hole will typically contain a Magnetic Mark
Detector and a second Encoder. Cased hole operations rarely require a Magnetic
Mark Detector and typically use only one Encoder.
If the head is configured for open hole, no changes are required to run it on a cased
hole unit. The Magnetic Mark Detector may be removed if there are no plans to use
the head on an open hole any time soon.
The cased hole head can be configured with a different wear plate. The cased hole
wear plate is thicker and stepped on one end to keep the line from riding near the top
of the wheels. This can occur when going in the hole with a small cable (7/32") with a
very light load. The open hole wear plate is flat. Both plates are made from hardened
tool steel. The wear plate is mounted on the upper frame above the measure wheels.
Part number for the open hole wear plate is: AM5KM034
Part number for the cased hole wear plate is: AM5KM074
To remove the Magnetic Mark Detector, refer to item 12 on the parts list.
Remove the 4 screws holding the detector in place then remove the detector.
To install a Magnetic Mark Detector simply reverse this procedure.
To remove Encoder, remove the 4 screws securing the Encoder Adapter to the head.
Remove the Encoder and Adapter.
Remove the Coupling from the Measuring Wheel shaft.

3.6 INSTALLING THE DEEP GROOVED TENSION WHEEL
A deep grooved High-Tension Wheel is available for use when line tension greater
than 10,000 lbs is commonly encountered. This wheel is grooved to better support the
wireline at high tensions. The groove also reduces the radius of the wheel which
lowers the bend angle of the wireline. This wheel is only for use with 15/32” or larger
cables and cannot be used with smaller cable sizes. We recommend using this wheel
for lines 7/16” or larger.
The normal shallow grooved wheel can be used at high loads for short pull durations
but should not be used when loads exceed 10,000 lbs for an extended period.
To install the deep grooved Tension Wheel, replace the standard shallow grooved
Tension Wheel with the deep grooved Tension Wheel. 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.
Ensure that the slot in the bushing of the Tension Wheel is aligned with the roll pin on
the side of the frame. The roll pin is only installed on one side of the frame and it
needs to be inserted in the slot.
Also ensure that the grease hole in the Tension Wheel is installed on the opposite side
of the Load Pin amplifier.
The deep grooved Wheel Assembly can be ordered by part number AM5KA073. The
shallow grooved Tension Wheel Assembly can be order by part number AM5KA063.

3.6 INSTALLING THE DEEP GROOVED TENSION WHEEL continued
STANDARD SHALLOW GROOVED TENSION WHEEL
DEEP GROOVED TENSION WHEEL

3.7 SYSTEM OPERATION
Determine cable size to be used - .490" to .190”. Since the wireline cable bends over
the Tension Wheel, the bend radius of the wireline cable will affect the tension
measurement.
Enter tension-calibrate factor. These corrections are automatically made in the

Benchmark Hoistman’s Panel by selecting the proper cable size from the Menu. If a
different panel is used, enter the tension factor at this time.

Make sure line is lying slack and head is free to move. Press the Ten Zero Cal
button and Tension Value should read “0”.
Press the Ten Cal button and tension should read the value indicated in section 3.6.2.
At this point, the system is ready to log. Watch for visual indications of problems such
as excessive vibration, wheel or roller slippage or lockups that signify bearing or shaft
failures, or cable tracking problems.

3.8 BEARING SEAL RETAINERS

3.8 BEARING SEAL RETAINERS continued
NOTE: Heads manufactured before Sep 2013 did not have bearing seal retainers.
We have since installed retainers on the bearings installed in the AM5KA137 and
AM5KA164. The part numbers for these wheels have been changed to AM5KA247
and AM5KA364.

4.0 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
4.1 PRE-JOB CHECK
Each time the system is used, perform the following steps:
• Verify that the AM5K 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 or that the
shaft is not spinning in the bushings.
• Verify that all fasteners are tight, and 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 2 ft for
each rotation of the wheel. If more than one Encoder is installed, check both
Encoders by turning each wheel and verifying that the Hoistman’s Panel will
read 2 ft for each rotation of either wheel.

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

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 Tension Wheel for signs of abnormal wear, diameter changes, or shaft and
bearing play that could affect tension measurement accuracy. The shallow groove
Tension Wheel (item 33 in section 7.0 of this manual) should be 5" in diameter at the
bottom of the groove. It should be replaced if it is worn more than .010".
The deep grooved Tension Wheel (item 33 in section 7.0 of this manual) should be
4.375" in diameter at the bottom of groove. It should be replaced if it is worn more than
.010".
Inspect the 2 grooved Guide Wheels on either side of the Tension Wheel (items 34 in
section 7.0 of this manual). They should be 4" (101.6 mm) in diameter (bottom of
groove). They should be replaced if they are worn more than .010".
NOTE: If the Tension Wheels or Guide Wheels mentioned above are worn more than
.010”, the tension reading will be less than the actual line tension. The amount of error
is relative to the amount of wear.

A micrometer can be used to check the diameter of the wheel measured at the bottom
of the groove.
Grease all the wheels and bearings that are fitted with a flush mount 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.

LUBRICATION POINTS

4.4 ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
WARNING – DO NOT SEPARATE CONNECTORS WHEN ENERGIZED
4.4.1 MEASURING WHEEL, SHAFT, AND BEARING REMOVAL

Either Measuring Wheel can be removed from the Measuring Head. First shift the red
release handle to move the wheel away from the frame. Next remove the Encoder with
its Adapter.
On the later model heads, the wheels are keyed onto the shaft and can be removed
simply by removing the screw holding the wheel to the shaft.
On earlier model heads, the wheels are pressed on to the shaft. The lower snap ring
between the wheel and the bearing must first be removed. Pull the wheel and shaft
from the mount. Reassemble in the opposite order. The bearing should also be
replaced at this time.
4.4.2 ELECTRONIC LOAD PIN REMOVAL

The Electronic Load Pin is held in place by one retaining ring on the outer end of its
shaft. Remove the retaining ring by using a small screwdriver to lift one end of the ring
out of the groove, then “walk” the ring off the pin. The Load Pin can then be removed
from the mounting frame.
4.4.3 BACKUP DEPTH MAGNETIC PICKUP REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

The Backup Depth Magnetic Pickup is mounted to the Encoder Adapter. It is held in
place by 4 screws. Remove the screws and the Pickup can then be removed. The
Pickup must be properly oriented to work correctly. The slot should be oriented to the
top (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 down
hole), simply rotate the Pickup 180 degrees to change the direction.

4.4.4 ENCODER COUPLING INSTALLATION
To install the Encoder Coupling, first remove the plug in the Encoder Adapter. Install
one of the metal parts of the 3-piece Coupling (item 36) to the wheel shaft and tighten it
using a hex wrench. Next, install the center plastic piece of the Coupling onto the
wheel shaft Coupling. Place the other metal Coupling on the Encoder shaft and set the
Encoder on the mount. Snug up the Encoder Coupling then remove the Encoder and
tighten the Coupling.
Reinstall the Encoder with O-rings (item 98) and tighten it to the Encoder mount (item
6). Next tighten the plug.
See Parts List in Section 8.1

4.4.5 ENCODER MOUNT AND TOP GUIDE WHEEL REMOVAL
Follow these steps to remove the Encoder mounts.
Using a pair of vice grips, grab the end of the pin and pull on it.

4.4.5 ENCODER MOUNT AND TOP GUIDE WHEEL REMOVAL continued
Use a screwdriver to capture the end of the spring.

The end cap and the pin can now be removed.

Use a hook to pull the spring out far enough to remove the screwdriver being careful
not to bend the spring.

Simply slide the floating Encoder assembly off the 2 shafts.
Repeat for the other side.

Remove anti-rotation screw (if equipped) and snap ring.

Slide the shaft out of the frame.

Remove the Wheel Assembly.
Re-assemble in reverse order making sure the slot in the bearing lines up with the anti-
rotation screw hole (if equipped).
NOTE: Wheels come in a variety of colors and materials.

4.4.6 INSTALLING THE LOAD AXLE WHEEL
Insert the Tension Wheel into the frame. Make sure the slotted hole in the Tension
Wheel bushing is on the same side as the roll pin hole in the frame and the grease hole
is on the opposite side.

4.4.6 INSTALLING THE LOAD AXLE WHEEL continued
Use a bolt in place of the Load Pin to hold the wheel in place. Use an Allen wrench or
other long tool to align the hole in the bearing with the slotted hole in the frame.

Insert a 3/16” x 1/2” long roll pin into the hole. Do not use a longer roll pin as it will bind
the wheel.

Drive in the roll pin flush with the frame. Make sure the wheel can freely slide up
and down in the frame.

Remove the bolt and install the Load Pin. Align the notch in the Load Pin with the flat
side on the frame.

AFTER ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE THE LOAD PIN SHOULD BE

5.3 AM5KA239 ADJUSTABLE GUIDE ROLLER KIT
This kit is designed to force smaller sizes of wireline to run straight across the
Measuring Wheels. Large wirelines (7/16” or larger) are stiff enough that they will run
straight but smaller lines such as 7/32” can walk up/down the Measuring Wheel if they
are not under much tension. This can occur when running into the well with pressure
through grease tubes. This will cause a depth error (less depth measured then actual)
because any vertical movement of the wireline will not turn the Measuring Wheel as far
as it should.
This roller is mounted on an adjustable cam shaft. The shaft can be turned to raise or
lower the roller to press the wireline against the bottom of the groove in the upper
guide roller. This assures that the wireline will run straight across the Measuring
Wheels.

5.8 BACKUP LOAD PIN
BACKUP TENSION ON AM5K
A kit is available to add a secondary Load Pin to the AM5K to provide a backup tension
reading. This feature increases the reliability of the Measuring Head by providing the
wireline tension reading from 2 different sources.
The secondary Load Pin is installed as an axle to one of the Guide Wheels that
position the cable through the main Tension Wheel. The primary Load Pin is inserted
through the main Tension Wheel and is used to provide the primary tension reading.
The Load Pins are strain gauged and provide a resistance change as they are loaded.
Current through the strain gauge will vary in proportion to the load. This varying
current signal is connected to a display panel that calculates the actual tension and
displays in in either pounds or KG on the LCD display.
The load on the Guide Wheel is approximately ½ of the load on the main Tension
Wheel but this is accounted for in the display panel.

8.2 MMD MAGNETIC MARK DETECTOR SPECIFICATION
General
This specification describes the latest Magnetic Mark Detector. It replaces the original
AMS100 detector, pn AMS1A003. The performance characteristics emulate the original
unit.
Mechanical
The mark detector will work in both the original housing pn AMS1M022 and the AM5K
versions using pn AM5KM029. The PC board is potted to prevent damage from shock,
vibration, or humidity.
Power
Input power is 9 - 30vdc at 100ma max.
Outputs
Digital line driver out for strong & strong\ also weak & weak\ where a weak mark is 4
gauss or less and a strong mark is greater than 4.1 gauss measured 0.10 inch from
cable surface. The signals are a +5vdc digital pulse. A digitized 0-5vdc representation
of the analog signal is provided.
Performance
Operating temperature -40 to +120 F compensated and stable. Storage temperature -
60 to +180 F.
Magnetic mark detection at cable line speeds of 1 to 1000 feet per minute.
Auto Cal feature removes offset of the electronics and any constant magnetic field less
than 1 gauss every 100ms. If in a greater field, it will auto calibrate every 11 seconds.
Detection of apparent zero gauss (at high/low crossing) is within 0.1 inch and
repeatable so any error is not accumulative.
Will survive a gauss level exposure of 60 gauss.
