1. INTRODUCTION
This manual contains installation and operation instructions relative to the M/D TOTCO
221736 Load Pin Sensor system. Read the appropriate section of this manual before
installing or operating this equipment. Make sure that personnel operating this sensor are
familiar with the procedures in this manual.
2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Top Drive Load Pin System was developed to improve the accuracy of Hookload
measurement over hydraulic dead line anchor systems and provide Torque and accelera-
tion measurements not available with dead line anchor systems. The major advantage of
the Top Drive sensor over the hydraulic dead line anchor system is the Hookload measure-
ment is down stream of friction effects in the hoisting equipment resulting in improved
accuracy of the system.
The system consists of strain gage load pins mounted in place of the Top Drive bail pins.
These pins measure static and dynamic Hookload, as well as static and dynamic Torque. In
addition, there is a vertical acceleration signal produced from accelerometers mounted
inside of each load pin.
The total Hookload and Torque is obtained by summing the channels configured for the
two load pins. Signals from the load pin are conditioned and amplified from milli-volts to
a 4-20ma signal though a signal conditioner mounted on the Top Drive. Specialized signal
conditioning is used to filter off the static portion of the load pin signal output to provide a
separate dynamic signal for Torque and Hookload. The 4-20ma signals are passed to the
rig floor through a service loop from the Top Drive to a derrick junction box on the rig
floor. Finally it passes through a barrier box before being processed by the data acquisition
system. Barrier boxes are available for use with a barrierless DAQ or for use with a UL
certified system.
Refer to Section 13 (Control Drawing 222051) for Intrinsic Safety Installation
instructions.
NOTE
Three Barrier Boxes are available: one for use with a Barrierless
DAQ and two for use with a UL DAQ.
3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The M/D TOTCO 221736 Load Pin Sensor System consists of a pair of custom bail pins, a
signal amplification/processing unit, and power/barrier box. The system was designed for
Varco model TDS-3S and TDS-4S Top Drives. The part numbers for the components are
as follows:
• Load Pins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .221601
• Signal Conditioner Assy . . . . . .221535-001 (12 T.P. Service Loop)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .221535-002 (14 T.P. Service Loop)
• Barrier Box Assembly . . . . . . .221513-001 (For use w/ Barrierless DAQ)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .221789-001 (For use w/ UL DAQ)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .221995-001 (For use w/ UL DAQ)
• Power Supply . . . . . . . . . . . . . .221516-001
• Derrick Junction Box . . . . . . . .92927 (Varco P/N)
NOTE
The Derrick Junction Box (P/N 92927) is provided by Varco.
Inside each Load Pin, strain gauges and an accelerometer provide individual output signals
for Hookload, Torque, and axial acceleration to the Signal Conditioner Assembly, which
amplifies these signals and converts them to 4-20mA current loop signals. Each of the sys-
tem’s Load Pins is factory calibrated to output 4 mA at minimum load and 20 mA at full
scale load (650,000 LB Hookload, 30,000 Ft-LB Torque, & 2g acceleration). Hookload
and Torque outputs are summed to provide system load values.
NOTE
Only Hookload signal equals 4mA for zero and 20mA for full scale.
Torque has a negative to positive full range, with 4mA equal to full
negative scale, 12mA equal to zero and 20mA equal to full positive
scale.
• Example: Torque
-30,000 Ft Lbs = 4mA
0 (zero) = 12mA
+30,000 Ft Lbs = 20mA

5-1 General
This Section contains guidelines and procedures for installing the components of the
system described in the previous section (221601 Load Pins, 221535 Signal Conditioner
Assembly, 221516 power supply, 221513-001, 221789-001 and 221995-001 barrier
boxes).
NOTE
The serial number for each Load Pin is located on stainless steel
labels riveted on the TDS Motor Frame at the base of the trunnion
tubes. The labels are approximately a foot away from their respective
pin and are easily visible. When completing the calibration
procedure, the technician must use the specific Load Pin serial
number calibration data when setting-up the DAQ chanel and it’s
specific position.
WARNING
Failure to install keeper plates and bail spacer kit may allow Load
Pins to rotate and cause system inaccuracies.

6-2-1 Purpose
This calibration procedure is to be used only to calibrate Top Drive Load Sensors which
have not been calibrated at the factory or have lost the factory calibration. Do not
recalibrate a factory calibrated system unless you are absolutely sure the system has lost
calibration.
NOTE
As with any two point calibration, the greater the load change
between the minimum and maximum load applied to the sensor, the
more accurate the calibration results will be.
1. Connect the CALCONF computer to the TOTAL DAQ and access the channel
calibration screen for the appropriate load pin channel.
2. Remove as much weight as possible from the Top Drive (drill string in slips).
Use this procedure if both load pins are operational. This procedure will calibrate each
load pin channel to display a weight value using the rig’s hydraulic Hookload weight indi-
cator as a reference. The two load pin channel values should be summed and displayed on
another channel for the best results.
NOTE
As with any two point calibration, the greater the load change
between the minimum and maximum load applied to the sensor, the
more accurate the calibration results will be.
Connect the CALCONF computer to the TOTAL DAQ and access the channel calibration
screen for the #1 load pin channel.
1. Remove as much weight as possible from the Top Drive (drill string in slips).
2. Note the weight displayed on the hydraulic Hookload weight indicator.
3. Capture the current raw count minimum on the CALCONF computer for the
#1 load pin.
4. Divide the value displayed on the hydraulic Hookload weight indicator by two
and enter the resulting value into the minimum value field on the CALCONF
computer for the #1 load pin.
5. Access the channel calibration screen for the #2 load pin channel.
6. Capture the current raw count minimum on the CALCONF computer for the
#2 load pin.
7. Divide the value displayed on the hydraulic Hookload weight indicator by two
and enter the resulting value into the minimum value field on the CALCONF
computer for the #2 load pin.
8. Suspend as much weight as possible on the Top Drive (drill string out of slips).
9. Note the weight displayed on the hydraulic Hookload weight indicator.
10. Capture the current raw count maximum on the CALCONF computer for the
#2 load pin.
11. Divide the value displayed on the hydraulic Hookload weight indicator by two
and enter the resulting value into the maximum value field on the CALCONF
computer for the #2 load pin.
12. Access the channel calibration screen for the #1 load pin channel.
13. Capture the current raw count maximum on the CALCONF computer for the
#1 load pin.
14. Divide the value displayed on the hydraulic Hookload weight indicator by two
and enter the resulting value into the maximum value field on the CALCONF
computer for the #1 load pin.
15. The two point field calibration for the two load pins is now complete.

7. OPERATION
Each Load Pin in the system is factory calibrated to provide 4-20 mA output representing
50 percent of the Top Drive System’s full load range for Hookload and Torque
(0-650,000 LBs Hookload, ± 30,000 Ft-LBs Torque). The Hookload and Torque signals
will be summed by the data acquisition system to provide actual Top Drive loads.
8. PERIODIC INSPECTION
8-1 General
This section contains procedures for periodic inspection and field maintenance. Periodic
inspection includes preventative maintenance and service for equipment safety, security,
and cleanliness.
NOTE
The conduit hose on the Load Pins can be replaced, but the cable
inside the conduit is integral to the Load Pin. The internal cable must
be replaced at the M/D TOTCO factory.
9. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the Load Pin Sensor System should follow the requirements of the
standard bail pin maintenance as outlined by Varco Drilling Systems.
Grease Load Pins through grease ports located on the Top Drive bail on a weekly basis.
