2.1 General

The following instructions explain how to install an Electric Remote BOP

Control System manufactured by AXON Pressure Products. These
guidelines have been developed to ensure that drilling operations begin
safely and all equipment is fully operational.

The drawings and bills of materials necessary to properly install this

equipment can be found in the Equipment Section (Section 3.0) of this
manual.

While reviewing these instructions please pay particular attention to the

notes and cautions which have been included to ensure the safety of all
personnel using this equipment.

Please note the following:

There are two (2) major steps, which must be performed during all phases
of equipment use:

1. STOP PUMPS

a. CLOSE the air supply valve(s) on the air pump(s).

b. Turn the triplex pump motor starter to the OFF position.

2. START PUMPS

a. OPEN the air supply valve(s) on the air pump(s).

b. Turn the triplex pump motor starter to the AUTO position.

2.2 Accumulator Unit Module (Typical Unit)

2.2.1 Set-Up Location

The distance recommended to provide maximum protection for the

accumulator unit module during a blowout or other emergency, is
approximately 100 to 150 feet from the well bore.

 SECTION 2.0 INSTALLATION

When locating the accumulator unit module you should also

consider:

Accessibility for maintenance and service

Lighting
Ventilation

The accumulator unit module should not be placed near oxygen

storage or in an environment where there would be high heating
effects from the surrounding rig equipment. Also, the user should
be aware that dust filled environments will shorten component life.

2.2.2 Reservoir - Inspection

OPEN the 4 inspection / fill ports on the fluid reservoir and ensure
that the tank is free of any debris that could contaminate the
system.

Inspect the reservoir vent(s) to ensure that it is clear.

Make sure that all reservoir connections are tight and breathers
are installed on top side of reservoir.

2.2.3 Fill Reservoir

The reservoir should be filled to within eight (8) inches of the top
with high quality SAE 10wt. hydraulic oil. AXON Pressure Products
recommends high quality hydraulic oil such as ISO 22, AXON
Pressure Products part number 7200-0150. Water based fluid
(AXON Pressure Products part number 7201-0100) may be used,
but care must be taken to ensure that adequate glycol (AXON
Pressure Products part number 7201-0180) is added to prevent
freezing in cold weather.

2.2.4 Check Accumulator Pre-Charge

1. OPEN the accumulator manifold bleeder valves.

2. OPEN the accumulator manifold isolation valves.

and attach a charging and gauging assembly.

Bottom Loading 1000-9400-EU

4. ATTACH the gauge and tighten down the air chuck T handle.

5. CHECK the gauge pressure reading. The pressure reading

should be 1,000-PSI +/- 100, or as indicated on the hydraulic
schematic found in the Equipment Section (Section 3.0).

Note: If the gauge indicates a LOW PRE-CHARGE:

6. ATTACH the pre-charge line from the nitrogen bottle to the

charging and gauging assembly.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE OXYGEN!

7. OPEN the nitrogen bottle valve until the pre-charge pressure

reaches 1,000-PSI.

8. CLOSE the nitrogen bottle valve and verify that the gauge
continues to read 1,000-PSI.

Note: If the gauge indicates a HIGH PRE-CHARGE:

9. OPEN the charging and gauging assembly bleeder valve until

the pre-charge drops to1,000-PSI.

10. CLOSE the bleeder valve and verify that the gauge reading is
still 1,000-PSI.

Note: A charging and gauging assembly should always be

accessible to the accumulator unit module.

2.2.5 Check Hydraulic Filter

varies with the ambient temperature and pump model. See
Section 5 for specific information.

7. Turn ON the electrical power at the motor control center.

8. CHECK the rotation of the motor by turning the triplex pump /

motor starter switch to AUTO and then to OFF. If the rotation is
backwards from the arrow indication on the belt guard or pump
crankcase, swap any two-phase terminal connections to reverse
the motor rotation.

supported in a manner to:

Avoid damage and stress at the termination fittings.

Stay out of traffic flow.
Stay away from mechanical equipment.

DO NOT HANG OVER SHARP EDGES OR BEND AROUND

SHARP CORNERS.

Adhere to the recommended cable bend radii to prevent tearing

insulation and subsequent short circuiting of the conductors.
Electrical equipment is sensitive and should be handled carefully.

DO NOT DISCONNECT WHILE ENERGIZED!

The electrical connection of the electric remote control panels to the

interface junction box supplies the power to the electric remote
control panels and should not be unplugged while energized.

2.3.3 Electric Remote Control Panels Installation Procedures

terminate. Allow ample length for the terminal and door service
loops.

9. Strip the outer sheath, armor and internal sheath to the desired
length of cable measured above.
