1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This panel is designed to acquire and display depth, tension, and magnetic
mark data from a wireline logging winch unit. The panel provides the
operator a means to set and make adjustments to the data as necessary.
Depth is displayed from data provided from an encoder mounted on a
measuring device. The encoder quadrature pulses are passed through to
the acquisition system. The tension data is provided by a load pin and is
also passed through to the acquisition system.
The panel can be set in either open hole logging or cased hole logging
modes. This is done by installing jumper J3 on the main processor board
for cased hole mode or removing the jumper for open hole mode.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES
2.1 FRONT PANEL
2.1.1 ANALOG TENSION METER
This meter displays either differential or incremental tension. This
provides a more visual display of tension change.
2.1.2 INCREMENTAL/TOTAL TENSION SWITCH
This switch will change the analog meter from Incremental tension to
Differential tension.
Incremental tension provides a high resolution tension scale. It must
be periodically reset as tension increases or decreases to keep it
from pegging out.
Differential tension provides a delta tension reading. The meter will
slowly reset itself to 0 so the reset switch is not necessary.
2.1.3 METER RESET SWITCH
This switch will reset the meter to the 0 (center) position.
2.1.4 DEPTH DISPLAY
This meter provides a digital display of depth.
2.1.5 LINE TENSION DISPLAY
This meter provides a digital display of total line tension.
2.1.6 LINE SPEED DISPLAY
This meter provides a digital display of line speed.
2.1.7 MAGNETIC MARK DISPLAY
This meter provides a digital display of the depth where the last
mark was detected. It is also used as a CCL offset display when the
panel is configured for cased hole operations (MODE 3).

AMS4A040 PANEL USER MANUAL Rev H Nov 2006 Page 5 of 39
2.1.8 MAGNETIC MARK RESET
Pressing the MMD reset button clears the last mark setting. The
next mark detected will be used to set the window for any
subsequent marks.
2.1.9 ZERO DEPTH
Pressing this button will reset the depth to 0. Depressing the button
again will reset the depth to the previous setting. The Zero Depth
button will only work when the line speed is zero (i.e. winch not
moving).
2.1.10 MENU
Pressing this button will activate the menu software. The software
feature to be set will be displayed on the DEPTH display. The
features can be toggled through by pressing the menu button until
the desired feature is displayed.
2.1.11 + / - SWITCH
This switch is used for different functions. It is used to change the
depth setting in either an up or down direction. The winch must be
stopped before the depth can be set. In menu mode (see section
3.0) the switch is used to set menu parameters.
2.1.12 APPROACHING SURFACE LED AND ALARM
This LED is lit and an audible alarm is sounded when the depth is
less than 100' (30 m). This is a warning to the hoist operator that
they are approaching surface and should take care to get the
equipment safely out of the well. When the LED is depressed, the
alarm will stop but the LED will continue to blink. Once the depth
reading is greater than 100' (30 m), both the alarm and the LED will
turn off.
2.1.13 ENGLISH / METRIC UNITS
These LEDs will indicate if the panel is in English or metric mode. If
the depth is set to English, the English LED will be lit. If the depth is
set to Metric the Metric LED will be lit. The tension can be set to
English (LBS) or Metric (KG) but it will not light the LED.

AMS4A040 PANEL USER MANUAL Rev H Nov 2006 Page 6 of 39
2.1.14 T-ZERO SWITCH
Use this switch to set the tension to 0 at the start of a logging run.
This will zero out the tension circuit. The line should be slack
through the head at this time.
2.1.15 T-TEST SWITCH
Press T-TEST and verify that the panel tension reads 20000 lbs
(MODE 5) or 5000 lbs (MODE 3). Verify tension is being properly
recorded on acquisition system.
2.2 REAR PANEL
2.2.1 12 – 24 VDC
This connector supplies dc power for the panel operation (9 VDC
min, 30 VDC max). The panel can operate on either 12 or 24 vdc
(12 vdc is U.S. truck standard voltage, 24vdc is European truck
standard voltage). Pin A is positive, pin B is negative.
2.2.2 OVER TENSION CONTACT
This connector provides a connection to the overtension circuit
relay. When an overtension condition is active, the two pins are
connected together. In normal position the two pins are open. This
feature can be used to interface to the winch unit control system to
provide automatic hoist shutdown at an overtension condition.
2.2.3 SIGNAL INPUT
Encoder, tension, and magnetic mark signals and power are passed
through this connector to/from the sensors on the measuring head.
2.2.4 SIGNAL OUTPUT
Encoder, tension, and magnetic mark signals, processed and some
unprocessed are passed through this connector to the acquisition
system.
2.2.3 RS485 SERIAL INTERFACE
This connector provides an RS485 interface from the panel to the
acquisition system. Connectors are provided for both RS485 in and
out.

2.3 JUMPER SETTINGS
A row of jumpers are located on the internal processor board to set the
panel in different configurations.
J1 on = DEPTH IN METERS
J1 off = DEPTH IN FEET
J2 on = TENSION IN KG
J2 off = TENSION IN POUNDS
J3 on = CASED HOLE MODE (AM3K + CASE OR HOIST)
J3 off = OPEN HOLE MODE (AM5K + FOCUS)
J4 off = Rev D or earlier PC board
J4 on = Rev E PC board
J5 on = FOCUS mode
J5 off = AM5K standalone mode
J1 and J2 are only in affect when J5 is off
2.3.3 PROCESSOR REBOOT
In the event of a panel "lock up" or other malfunction, the processor
in the panel can be rebooted by turning off the panel, depressing the
T-ZERO and T-TEST buttons simultaneously then turn the power
back on while the buttons are depressed.
When the panel is rebooted, all the menu settings will be returned to
the factory default settings.

3.0 MENU COMMANDS – OPEN HOLE MODE
This panel has internal software which allows it to be set for various
configurations. To change the settings, press the MENU button. The feature to be
set will be displayed on the DEPTH display. Press the MENU button again until
the feature you want to set is displayed.
In this mode (open hole) the panel is configured to work with the AM5K measuring
head and the Baker Atlas FOCUS acquisition system.
Jumper J3 must be removed to put the system in this mode (refer to section 2.3).
The parameters for each feature will be displayed on the LINE TENSION display.
Press the +/- switch to cycle through all the available parameters. When the
value you want to select is displayed, press the MENU button. ACCEPT will then
be displayed. Press + for yes, - for no.
Following is a listing of all the available settings.
