1. PREPARE BHA / CORE BARREL ASSEMBLY

1.1 Front of barrel - Insert the ACT II RD barrel extension between the front end reamer and core barrel (Fig1).
1.2 Back of barrel - Insert the ACT II RD barrel extension between the core barrel and the adaptor coupling / back end reamer (Fig 2).
N.B. If inserting to the back of barrel a landing ring MUST be inserted into the ACT II RD barrel extension (Fig 2).
1.3 Tighten ACT II RD Barrel Extension as per standard drilling practice.
2. PREPARE CORE INNERTUBE ASSEMBLY

2.1 Insert the ACT II RD tool between the core innertube and the innertube backend assembly (Fig 3).
N.B. There is no need to remove the backend spindle / grease cap from the backend. Tighten the innertube, ACT II RD & backend as per standard
drilling practice using innertube wrenches NOT pipe wrenches.
3. INITIALISE ACT II RD
3.1 Remove ‘Top Cap’ from ACT II RD tool to expose the magnetic Infra Red Port, inspect & grease / replace the ‘O-Rings’ as required.
Check-valve
WARNING: The check-valve is an

important safety feature of the ACT tool
that prevents a build up of pressure
within the core inner-tube. The check-
valve should be inspected before each
deployment and kept in a free moving
state at all times.
3.2 Insert the ACT II RD Controller (Fig 4).

3.3 Press and hold N for 5 seconds, the display will flash
STARTING as pictured below (Fig 5) followed by the ACT II RD
tool serial number (Fig 6).
N.B. Continue to hold N while display shows tool serial number.
The ‘Peizo Panel’ buttons on the ACT II RD controller, due to

their robustness, have the ability to remember the pressure
used to activate them.
The buttons can be activated by lightly touching them, or by
pressing very firmly.
N.B. If pressing very firmly, the pressure MUST be maintained
for the duration of the 5 seconds.
If pressure is not constant, the button will not activate and
will require a 2 second pause before it can be pressed again.
Pressing lightly will result in easier use.

DONE will then show on the LCD display followed by a beep and flash of the red LEDs (Fig 7).
The ACT II RD orientation tool is now activated and synchronised to the controller and will record orientation
data every minute
3.4 Remove the ACT II RD controller from the tool and re attach the ‘Top Cap’
& Back End assembly (Fig 8) and tighten as per standard drilling practice.
The Innertube assembly can now be lowered into the rod line as per standard drilling practice and the drilling
process can commence.
4. BREAKING
N.B. If using the optional download function please refer to section two of the operating manual for further instructions on how to enter the hole depth.
Before the core can be ‘broken’ of bottom at the end of the coring run, the Bottom of Hole Orientation MUST be recorded on the ACT II RD
controller as follows:
4.1 Stop all rotation and thrust of the drill rods – DO NOT BREAK OFF BOTTOM.
4.2 Press the B button on the ACT II RD controller and hold down for 5 seconds, BREAKING will display on the control panel (Fig 9).
4.3 WAIT will next appear on the LCD screen with a countdown display (Fig 10).
The core CAN NOT be broken off bottom until the countdown timer reaches 0 seconds.
The controller will beep and flash the red LEDs and DONE will next appear on the LCD display screen (Fig 11) when it is OK to break the core
off bottom.
N.B. If you wish to cancel the break, this can be done by pressing N but MUST be done before the countdown reaches 0 seconds.
4.4 The core can now be broken off bottom.
N.B. Rotation should NOT be used to assist core breaking.
5. INITALISE SECOND ACT II RD TOOL

The second ACT II RD can now be initialised following the steps in section 3.
N.B. The second tool can only be initialised after a break has been recorded on the first tool.

6. RETREIVING ORIENTATION FROM ACT II RD

With the core innertube assembly returned to the surface the
bottom of hole orientation can now be retrieved from the ACT II
RD tool and transferred to the core using the same controller.
6.1 Remove the ACT II RD ‘Top Cap’ from ACT II RD to expose
the magnetic Infra Red Port and insert the ACT II RD controller
(Fig 4).
6.2 Press & Hold the R button for 5 seconds – the LCD display
will flash READING (Fig 12) followed by the ACT II RD tool serial number and then BATT OK.
N.B. The R must be pressed for the full 5 seconds in order to view the below screens.
Once BATT OK appears the LEDs will flash and the controller will beep, you can now remove you finger from the R button.
N.B. BATT OK will still be displayed after you stop pressing the R button.
6.3 While BATT OK is still displayed on the LCD screen press R again and REALIGN will appear next on screen (Fig 13) for two seconds
followed by the direction arrows (Fig 14).
6.4 With the ACT II RD controller still connected to the Infra red port the innertube assembly should be rotated in the direction that the arrows
and red LEDs are indicating (Fig 14).
As the bottom of hole orientation position approaches the LCD arrows will reduce from 3
each side to one (Fig 15) and the beeps will slow down.
N.B. The ACT II RD controller should be held still while only the innertube assembly is rotated.
6.5 When the innertube assembly has been rotated to the bottom of hole position the LCD
screen will display two arrows each side of the screen (Fig 16) and all LEDs will flash as well as
sound a long beep. This indicates that bottom of hole orientation has been achieved and can
now be transferred to the core.

7. TRANSFERING ORIENTATION TO THE CORE

7.1 Before removing the ACT II RD controller the ‘bottom of hole’ orientation should be transferred to the
core using either the UNDER or OVER method.
N.B. The best method to use is determined by the tube racks, if the racks are shorter than the innertube then
the UNDER method can be used. If the racks are longer than the innertube then the OVER method may be more
practical.
UNDER METHOD:
I. Ensure that Bottom of Hole orientation is indicated on the ACT II RD Controller (Fig 16).
II. Place the ACT II RD Marking Jig Under the core lifter case (Fig 17).
III. Level the marking jig by using the spirit level (Fig 18).
IV. Mark the bottom of the core.
N.B. If the core is inside the lifter case the marking jig can be tilted or the lifter case marked and then the orientation
transferred to the core using a straight edge.
7.2 If there is not sufficient overhang of the core lifter case then the OVER method should be used to mark
Bottom of Hole orientation.
OVER METHOD:
I. Ensure that Bottom of Hole orientation is indicated on the ACT II RD Controller (Fig 16).
II. Place the ACT II RD Marking Jig on top of the core lifter case (Fig 19).
III. Level the marking jig by using the spirit level (Fig 18).
IV. Select the core grade i.e. NQ and extend the ‘Marking Blade’ down to the bottom of the lifter case (Fig 19).
V. Using the marking blade as a guide mark the bottom of the core.
8. CANCELLING A TOOL
In the unfortunate event that an ACT II RD unit can not be retrieved from the drilling barrel the particular tool
must be cancelled from the ACT II RD Controller before a third replacement tool can be introduced as follows.
8.1 Press and Hold B & Set on the ACT II RD Controller to initialise the display function – the Controllers
individual serial number will be displayed.
8.2 Press R repeatedly to scroll through the menu until the active tools serial number is displayed i.e. CX 00021.
