2.1 Introduction and Component Description

2.1.1 Introduction
The Anchor is designed to secure the dead line and
slipping the line at regular intervals. It consists of Wire
Line Anchor and Sensater Load Cell (Optional) for Wire
Line Anchor.

2.1.2 Wire Line Anchor

The anchor has a wire line clamp with bronze insert
for a specified wire rope size. The wire line is wrapped
around the drum approximately 3 to 4 wraps before the
wire line is passed through the clamp to the reserve reel.

2.1.3 Sensater Load Cell

The Sensater (Figure 2-1) is an optional piece of
equipment. It is installed in the anchor and is the load cell
for sensing the weight signal.

Fig 2-1: E80 Sensater Load Cell

ABCO DOC.: M5329

 PAGE 2 - 3

2.2 Installation

2.2.1 Anchor
The anchor is designed for base mounting to
mast/derrick floor using 8x 1 bolts. It is important that
the anchor is mounted clearly to avoid any obstruction
with the dead sheave in the crown block. Unaligned
deadline or obstruction with derrick or passing of line over
a deflection sheave greatly reduces the sensitivity. To
align with the deadline, tilt the anchor using wedges as
shown in fig 2-3

WARNING: DO NOT WELD ANCHOR TO

DERRICK FLOOR AS ARCHING
COULD DAMAGE BEARING GROOVE.

2.2.2 Sensater
Mount the Sensater load cell in the anchor with the
check valve and disconnect located at the top, and place
it sideways to anchor drum for protection.

2.3 Operation

2.3.1 Elevating and Lowering the Mast (when applicable)

Remove line guards to allow the line to wrap around
the drum freely.

2.3.2 Drilling

Set dampener for required sensitivity. Shut off the vernier

pointer during trips.
Set the BIT WEIGHT dial by rotating the zero adjust knob on
the top right side of the gage so that the zero (0) on the BIT

ABCO DOC.: M5329

 PAGE 2 - 4

WEIGHT dial is directly under the white vernier pointer. This

should be done when off bottom with pumps running. For
weight on bit when drilling, release the brake and allow the
drill string to rotate on the bottom until the vernier weight on
bit pointer at the desired value.

2.3.2.1 Line Slip and Cut

Loosen the nuts on the anchor clamp bolts.

Tighten nuts on anchor clamp bolts to 450 ft-lb (Items 15 and
16).

2.3.4 System Accuracy

Basic system accuracy is 0.5% of full scale. This
accuracy however may be affected by any of the following
factors:
Wireline Size Calibration Reading Error
1-3/8 (35 mm) 0.6% Low
1-1/2 (38 mm) No Error

It may be necessary or convenient to mount the anchor

several feet below the weight indicator gage (provided
separately by ABCO). In this case, all weight readings will
be slightly low.

A one foot difference between the weight indicator

gage and Sensater will cause the weight indication errors
shown in table below

Lines Strung 6 8 10 12 14
Type EB ------ 280 lb 350 lb 420 lb 490 lb

Example:
Using Type EB indicator, 10 lines strung with the
Sensater and anchor 8 feet below the gage, the weight
indicator gage will read 2,800 pounds low at all readings.
To compensate for this low reading, the total load pointer
may be reset by the mechanic during initial rig up.

Greatest error may occur as a result of the tackle system

friction and hole friction. The tackle system friction may be
reduced as shown in paragraphs 3.1 b, c and e. The hole
friction may be reduced using acquired drilling knowledge
and experience.

2.3.5 Buoyancy Factor

As the drill pipe and collars are suspended in mud, the total hook load
is affected by the buoyancy factor of the fluid. The heavier the mud
the less the pipe will weigh. To correct this factor, the weight of the
traveling block, hook, elevator swivel, and Kelly must be totaled. To
this the calculated weight of the pipe and collars in air multiplied by
the buoyancy factor should be added. For values of buoyancy factors,
refer table below

lb/gal 8.34 9.0 10.0 11.0 12.0 13.0 14.0 15.0 16.0 17.0 18.0 19.0 20.0

3.1 Maintenance

Perform the following procedures to assure accurate

readings and smooth operation

DAILY Check Sensater load cell gap and before taking a heavy
pull refer to [I] & [II] below.
Remove ice, mud, and debris from Sensater element and
anchor stops.
WEEKLY Lubricate anchor bearings, deadline idler sheaves/rollers
between anchor and crown, and crown dead sheave.
Check that tie-down bolts and clamp nuts are tightly
secured.
PER Lubricate crown line sheaves and load block sheaves.
MANUFACTURERS
RECOMMENDATION
DURING EACH Check clamp bronze insert for wear. Replace as needed.
WIRELINE SLIP AND Check that wire to storage reel is free and not binding on
CUT PROGRAM anchor.
The gap (Figure 3-1) in the Sensater should be 0.62 inch
(16mm) with blocks empty. If the gap is greater, the
system fluid load may be overcharged and the pointer
will indicate a preload figure. As weight is applied to the
hook, the preload reading will be overcome and the
pointer will read the true hook load. As soon as drilling
permits, the gap should be adjusted to 0.62 inch (16mm).
[I]
Care should be taken NOT to drill or take heavy pulls
with the gap less than 0.50 inch (13mm). An AIR FREE
system will read correctly at a gap of 0.50 inch (13mm),
however, the load cell should be recharged to 0.62 inch
(16mm) as soon as drilling permits. A system WITH AIR
will read near correct until the air compresses sufficiently
to allow the load cell to bottom, at which time the pointer
movement will stop. [II]

NOTE
Any time there is an indication of air in the system or a
loss of fluid, recharge and/or repairs the system immediately.

3.3 Repairs

3.3.1 System Repair

System repair is limited to charging or bleeding the
hydraulic system, removing and replacing the indicator,
load cell and/or hydraulic hose or replacing the O-Ring
(Part No. 100796-113AO) in the J900 or J901 series
Hydraulic hose disconnects.

3.3.2 Charging the System

The system must be kept full of hydraulic fluid at all
times to accurately indicate load. If the gap (Figure 3-1) is
less than 0.62 inch (16mm) in the fully charged position
with empty blocks, the system should be checked for
leaks, repaired, and reloaded through check valve with
YA2 hand pump (Figure 3-2) as follows:

a) Be sure that system block weight is not supported by

derrick lines.

b) Ensure that hose is free of kinks and sharp bends.

c) Remove cap from F350-1 check valve.

d) Attach YA2 hand pump with swivel to check valve.

NOTE
Swivel nut must be loose to allow for air purging.

e) Fill hand pump reservoir with W15/W16 (Red) hydraulic

fluid.
NOTE
To prevent air from entering system ensure that fluid in
reservoir does not drop below 1/2 full.

f) Slowly operate hand pump until air is purged at loose

swivel nut, then tighten nut.

g) Box-mounted system only:

Loosen pipe plug (accessible in front of box) located
behind damper block.

h) Console-mounted system only:

Loosen pipe plugs (accessible in back of console) located
on both dampers.

i) Pump fluid into system and bleed at pipe plug(s) until air
bubbles cease to appear.

j) Tighten pipe plug(s).

k) Pump enough fluid into system to slightly overcharge.

l) Loosen pipe plug(s) and bleed until 0.62 inch (16mm)

gap is reached.

m) Tighten pipe plug(s).

n) Disengage hand pump from the check valve.

o) Replace and tighten check valve cap.

3.3.3 Component Repair

Hydraulic Hose Disconnect - The JI0900A series

hydraulic hose quick disconnect half couplings (Part Nos.
JI0900A02 and JI0900A-20) have replaced the J900 and
J901 series disconnects. The J10900A series disconnects
do not contain an O-Ring; however the J900 and J901
series disconnects contain an O-Ring which if damaged
must be replaced as follows to preserve the integrity of
the system.

a) Be sure that system block weight is not supported by

derrick lines.

b) Remove damaged O-Ring from the female-half of

disconnect.

c) Clean O-Ring groove.

d) Lubricate (using silicon or equivalent) and install new

O-Ring. (Part No. l00798-113AO).

CAUTION
Be careful not to damage O-Ring during mating. A
damaged O-Ring could result in hydraulic fluid leaking
during operation.

e) Carefully align male and female coupling halves and

push firmly together. Thread nut onto male half of
coupling and tighten.
