§1. General safety precautions & instructions
Keep these safety precautions in mind while working with our equipment. This will prevent damage to
the equipment and help prevent dangerous situations arising.
While working with ASEP equipment follow the field’s rules and regulations.
Read and understand this manual before operating ASEP equipment.
Use this manual as a guide for system operation in conjunction with common sense and operator
experience.
While working with ASEP equipment wear appropriate work clothing and personal protective
equipment as required. Main points of attention, but not limited to, should be helmet during lifting
operations, protective gloves and safety glasses while working with the wire, hearing protection when
working with running power pack and safety glasses when operating the unit. (concerning the last
point: although the unit is equipped with laminated safety glass, wire breakage in combination with
window surface damage could cause the inner glass sheet to scatter into the control cabin)
Let only qualified and experienced personnel operate ASEP equipment. (Please note that rigging up
and rigging down is also a part of unit operations.) This will help prevent damage to the equipment
and reduce the possibility of dangerous situations arising.
While working with ASEP equipment wear appropriate hearing protection as required. (unit internal
sound level is above 65 dB)
Before starting the diesel engine, check that the environment, in which you are about to work, is
suitable for the emission of the mixture of toxic exhaust gases.
Note: the exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
Do not restart ASEP equipment after an emergency stop without verifying that the cause of this stop
has been removed or rectified.
The equipment has been designed and built for particular purposes. Do not attempt to use the
equipment for other purposes outside its design scope. This may lead to damage and/or dangerous
situations.
During wireline operations consider the zone in front of the wireline unit as a danger zone. For safety
reasons keep the following points in mind:
• In this zone there is always danger.
• Never step over the wireline.
• Never allow spectators to stand near the working area.
• If possible, rope off this area with signs and/or bright tape.
• If the wireline is rigged up but not run for a period. Clamp the wire and “flag” the wire with
signs.
• When the wireline unit is tied down on deck using rope/line, “flag” the ropes/lines with
signs.
While opening hatches and/or doors on the unit beware of wind-conditions.

The hatches and / or doors might swing open with force and cause damage or injury.
When the wireline operation is finished, shutdown the engines and close all hatches and doors.
When lifting the unit by crane, make sure that you cannot get trapped between the load and a wall,
fixed object etc. If possible, position yourself so that you are visible to the crane operator. If not, make
sure to have a flagman to give signs to the crane operator.
Never walk under a hanging load!

Make sure that lifting gear to be used is sufficiently dimensioned and certified.
Never leave an “operation-ready” unit unattended.
Do not operate damaged equipment. This may lead to further damage and/or dangerous situations
arising.
Respect and maintain your working environment. Dispose of waste correctly.
Keep the unit and connected components clean. Accumulated dirt can hamper unit operations and
might jeopardize zone 2 safety.
Keep all safety guards in position while operating ASEP equipment. Removal of any safety guards
may lead to accidents.
When engaged in maintenance and / or performing checks on the unit:

• First consider your safety and that of others.
• Make sure that the equipment is switched off completely and use a decal or similar to
prevent unauthorized starting during maintenance or check up.
• Never work on a hydraulic and / or pneumatic system under pressure. Always relieve the
system to prevent dangerous situations arising.
• Never attempt to move heavy parts without aid of a mechanical device
• Do not allow heavy objects to rest in an unstable position.
• Use the right tools for the task.
Where applicable removable parts has been fitted with a small chain to prevent falling. Loose objects
should be handled with care.
With the engine certified according to ATEX regulations apply the following:
1. The diesel engine, including driven parts, has been manufactured and assessed according to
ATEX. All driven parts have been tagged with an unique identification number. ONLY trained
personnel may service the assembly. Failure to follow this may impair suitability for Zone 2.
2. In its explosion safe version the unit is suitable for use in gas hazardous classified locations
however limited to Group II Zone 2 (acc. IEC) or Class I Division 2 (acc. NEC). Hereto the unit is
designated amongst other as Ex II 3G, IIB T3. The design and manufacturing has been based
on European Directive nr. 94/9/EC following conformity assessment procedure relating to
internal control of production according Annex VIII of the Directive. The construction is
documented in a confidential Technical Construction File held at the offices of ASEP BV.
Let only qualified personnel trained to a level as described in IEC 60079-14 and IEC 60079-17 perform
maintenance on ASEP equipment. Maintenance should also be performed with the right tools and
under controlled circumstances. Performing maintenance under the proper conditions will prevent
damage to the equipment and prevent dangerous situations arising.

§5. CombiGauge - How to operate for depth read out
§5.1. Single counter
To read out the depth of the wire line run the CombiGauge unit is equipped with a
mechanical counter. This counter is mechanically driven from the measurehead using a
counter cable. The counter cable is connected on the connection of the CombiGauge using
a large nut. On the CombiGauge side the connection is equipped with a key which fits inside
the slot of the counter cable. From here this key is connected to a flexible shaft which in turn
is connected to a clamp. The clamp is used to connect the flexible shaft to the counter input
shaft. This flexible shaft is used to compensate for misalignment of the input.
To reset the counter a reset mechanism is installed. This reset is initiated by pulling the
depth reset control. Pulling this control will lift the lever inside the CombiGauge which in turn
will rotate the reset shaft. On the reset shaft a second lever is connected, this lever in turn is
connected to a spring. This spring is stretched when the reset control is pulled and the
spring action will retract the control when the control is released.
Clamp
on shaft

§5.2. Dual counter
The CombiGauge can also be equipped with a dual counter. This second counter can be
used to have a depth / length indication independent from the main counter. To drive the
second counter running simultaneously to the primary counter a belt drive is used between
these counters. On the side of the secondary counter a friction based coupling assures that
the counter assembly is not damaged when adjusting the value of the second counter. To
adjust the value on the secondary counter use the control on the left hand top side of the
CombiGauge. An example for use is when it is required to move the tool for 50 meters
without the requirement for adding or subtracting values from the main counter. The second
counter can be reset using the control on the upper right hand side of the CombiGauge.

§5.2.2. Setting the second counter
To adjust the counter press down the control to latch the angled sprockets. While pressing
down the control rotate the control to adjust the counter. Rotating the counter will not
influence the position of the primary counter since the connection between the two counter
is equipped with a friction coupling.
§5.2.3. Counter types
The CombiGauge can be equipped with two different types on counters. The difference
between the counters is the built in reduction ratio. For MP16 type measure heads a ratio of
1:1 is used on CombiGauges using a metric indication and a ratio of 1:5 is used on
CombiGauges using a imperial indication. On ST type measure heads always a counter with
a ratio of 1:1 is used.
The ratio of the counter can easily be checked by detaching the counter cable and by
moving the connection key a single turn (360 degrees). With the counter indicating 1 the
counter is 1:1 and with the counter not indicating 1 the ratio is 1:5.
The requirement for using the 1:5 ratio counters is to decrease the reduction ratio required
by the gear boxes mounted on the measurehead.

§5.3. CombiGauge - line tension indication
Prior to operating the wireline unit the gap between the

measure head and the piston inside the bellow must be
checked. Where the gap is to large, i.e. not enough oil is in the
system or where too much air is in the system, the system
could cease to operate due to zero travel left in the bellow.
This could result in tension being placed on the wire without
this being registered on the CombiGauge.
When line tension is increased on the wireline unit hydraulic pressure is transferred from the
measurehead to the CombiGauge. Inside the CombiGauge this pressure is transferred to
motion of the main indicator using a bourdon tube assembly. The complete bourdon tube
assembly is mounted on a plate which can be rotated to enable line tension zero setting with
no line pull present. It should be noted that the bourdon tube assembly CAN NOT be rotated
completely this to prevent damage to the system.
The bourdon coil can not be changed out to change the scale
on the CombiGauge.
Operation of the CombiGauge line pull measuring relies on

proper connection of the hydraulic bellows sensing hose to
the operator module. Most important, however, is the
requirement for the complete system, which comprises of the
hydraulic bellows, the connecting hose and the CombiGauge,
to be properly air-bled.

§5.4. Bourdon tube technical explanation
§5.4.1. Bourdon tube gauges

The majority of pressure gauges in use
have a Bourdon-tube as a measuring
element. (The gauge is named for its
inventor, Eugene Bourdon, a French
engineer.) The Bourdon tube is a device
that senses pressure and converts the
pressure to displacement. Since the
Bourdon-tube displacement is a function
of the pressure applied, it may be
mechanically amplified and indicated by
a pointer. Thus, the pointer position
indirectly indicates pressure.
The Bourdon-tube gauge is available in
various tube shapes: curved or
C-shaped, helical, and spiral. The size,
shape, and material of the tube depend
on the pressure range and the type of
gauge desired. Low-pressure Bourdon
tubes (pressures up to 2000 psi) are
often made of phosphor bronze.
High-pressure Bourdon tubes (pressures above 2000 psi) are made of stainless steel or
other high-strength materials. High-pressure Bourdon tubes tend to have more circular
cross sections than their lower-range counterparts, which tend to have oval cross sections.
The Bourdon tube most commonly used is the C-shaped metal tube that is sealed at one
end and open at the other.
§5.4.2. C-shaped Bourdon Tube

The C-shaped Bourdon tube has a hollow, elliptical cross section. It is closed at one end and
is connected to the fluid pressure at the other end. When pressure is applied, its cross
section becomes more circular, causing the tube to straighten out, like a garden hose when
the water is first turned on, until the force of the fluid pressure is balanced by the elastic
resistance of the tube material. Since the open end of the tube is anchored in a fixed position,
changes in pressure move the closed end. A pointer is attached to the closed end of the
tube through a linkage arm and a gear and pinion assembly, which rotates the pointer
around a graduated scale.
Bourdon-tube pressure gauges are often classified as simplex or duplex, depending upon
whether they measure one pressure or two pressures. A simplex gauge has only one
Bourdon tube and measures only one pressure. The pressure gauge shown in figure 8-1 is
a simplex gauge. A red hand is available on some gauges. This hand is manually positioned
at the maximum operating pressure of the system or portion of the system in which the
gauge is installed.

§5.5. Pull read out dampening
Use the pull dampening valve to adjust the sensitivity of the pull indication. With the
sensitivity set to high; the main indicator might move erratic and a precise read out is not
possible. With the sensitivity set too low; the CombiGauge read out might follow the actual
line pull with a unwanted time delay.
It is advised to fully open the dampening valve when starting operations and to start closing
the valve with small increments when the sensitivity needs to be adjusted. With finished
operations open the valve completely.
NEVER CLOSE THE PULL DAMPENING VALVE COMPLETELY.

Closing the valve completely will shut off hydraulic oil supply
to the bourdon tube. This will result in tension being placed
on the wire without this being registered on the CombiGauge.
Open = maximum sensitivity = counter clock wise, close = no

read out = clock wise

§5.6. CombiGauge - line tension accuracy verification
• Thread the wireline through the measure head and pay out cable.
• Attach wireline to a calibrated auxiliary load measuring device and secure to fixed
point.
The line tension accuracy verification can also be performed

used the ASEP developed measurehead calibration tool.
• ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS CORRECTLY AIR BLED.

Before commencing, and during, all line pull testing, ensure
that the operating area is adequately marked and cordoned off.
Do not allow personnel to cross the wireline under tension.
Do not use wireline of inferior of substandard condition.
• Start with the line pull at zero, ie. with cable laying on the ground. Re-install the
line pull zero-set knob and adjust the needle to read zero (0 lbs / 0 kgs).
• Operating the winch, apply a moderate pull to the line (approx. 880 lbs / 400 kg).
Note the actual reading on calibrated auxiliary load measuring device and that of
the CombiGauge.
• Increase the pull to approximately 1750 lbs / 800 kgs. Note the actual reading on
calibrated auxiliary load measuring device and that of the CombiGauge.
• Increase the pull to approximately 90% of the maximum breaking strength of the
wire used during this test. But never allow the pull exceed the maximum pull as
mentioned on the scale of the CombiGauge. Note the actual reading on
calibrated auxiliary load measuring device and that of the CombiGauge.
If there is a linear discrepancy between the CombiGauge reading and that of the auxiliary
device, the CombiGauge may require re-calibration (refer next paragraph). If the
discrepancy is non-linear, the most likely cause is remnant air trapped in the CombiGauge
or the hydraulic bellows and pressure line.
This line tension accuracy verification procedure can also be

used to calibrate the K-REC SmartSystem (if present).
The CombiGauge needs to be checked for full scale line

accuracy read out before each job (or at least once a year) and
after wire breakage.

§5.7. CombiGauge - line tension re-calibration
If during the line accuracy verification test a linear discrepancy has been observed on the
CombiGauge it is required to re-calibrate the CombiGauge.
§5.7.1. Recalibration
The CombiGauge is factory set to provide a full scale deflection at either 25, 30, 40,
45 or 60 bar (scale dependant). This corresponds to the 360 degrees of travel of the
CombiGauge scale. Re-calibration of this setting is not a recommended field
maintenance activity, and should only be undertaken by personnel trained and
familiar with fine mechanical instrumentation.
Incorrect handling of the CombiGauge will result in

instrument damage necessitating factory repair and
re-calibration.
• Reduce the line tension to zero.

• If required: Remove the depth zero-set knob, the line pull zero-set knob and
remove the indicator front screws (4-PCs) and remove the CombiGauge glass
face plate. Replace the zero set knob.
• Rotate the line tension needle using the zero set knob. As the needle moves, the
calibration set screw will appear in the access hole in the CombiGauge face. This
calibration screw allows loosening of the variable linkage which affects the
leverage from the Bourdon tube.
Screw on linkage
mechanism
• Slightly loosen the calibration screw just enough (approximately half a turn)
which will allow movement of the linkage (reading adjustment) mechanism.

If the calibration screw is loosened too much, the

CombiGauge will have to be disassembled to correctly
re-tighten the linkage mechanism.
• Moving the loosened linkage will

affect the CombiGauge
indication as follows:
to the inside will decrease the
indicator reading,
to the outside will increase the
indicator reading.

For example: OUTSIDE

• Move the linkage a nominal amount (2 or 3 mm) in the direction of the required
adjustment, and re-tighten the calibration screw.
• Reset the CombiGauge to zero. Pick up line tension to approximately 880 lbs /
400 kg. Record the value of the CombiGauge and the auxiliary load measuring
device. Increase the line pull with predetermined increments until 90% of the
maximum breaking strength of the wire used during this test has been reached.
(But never allow the pull exceed the maximum pull as mentioned on the scale of
the CombiGauge.) At each increment record the values of the CombiGauge and
the auxiliary load measuring device.

For a proper CombiGauge calibration it is required that the

CombiGauge is tested to a minimum of 90% of the full scale
deflection. For example with a CombiGauge of 8800 lbs the
maximum test value should be approximately (8800 x 0.9)
7920 LBS.
• Further adjustment of the calibration screw setting will be proportional to the

measurement discrepancy.
• Repeat the above adjustment procedure until the measurements are in
conformance with the auxiliary line tension measurement.
• Re-install the indicator front panel and the reset knobs.

§6. How to bleed the WT system
• Connect the filled hand pump to the connection point on the hydraulic bellows on the
measure head.
Use only high grade ATF type oil to fill up the hand pump. For example Esso (Exxon) ATF
D-3. (This is a GM (General Motors) Dexron II-G type automatic transmission fluid.)
• Loosen slightly the bleed point on the

CombiGauge, refer figure.
• Open the valve at the hand pump connection
and start pumping hydraulic fluid into the
system.
• Continue pumping until only air-free hydraulic
fluid starts to come out at the bleed point.
• Close the bleed point.
• Close valve at hand pump connection.
• Remove hand pump.
Another bleed point can be found

at the bottom of the CombiGauge.
This point has been installed to
bleed the air during the
manufacturing stage of the
CombiGauge and if required it can
used after maintenance on the
bourdon tube.

§7. Maintenance
NEVER power wash the CombiGauge assembly since water

inside the CombiGauge will cause corrosion and limit
visibility due to condensation of the CombiGauge window. If
water is trapped inside the CombiGauge remove the front
cover and the scale plate to enable the CombiGauge to dry.
Detailed maintenance on the CombiGauge shall only be

limited to the replacement of parts who does not interact with
the bourdon coil assembly.
