1.0 INTRODUCTION
The new 40/50 series replace all previous 40 50 60 models

Overview
The new AMD2A040 and 050 Wireline Winch Operator’s Panels from
BenchMark Wireline are great step forward in the design and functionality of these
devices. Building on many years of experience in designing and
manufacturing these products, they have combined their knowledge and
experience with the latest technology to design and build the finest operator’s panels in
the industry.
Our totally new design uses the latest solid-state digital technology to build a
product that is smarter, more capable, more robust, simpler. The capabilities
have been expanded, the reliability has been increased and the price to our
customer has been reduced.
This panel is designed to acquire and display depth and tension data from a wireline
winch unit. The panel uses a menu system to set and make adjustments to the data as
necessary.
Depth is displayed from data provided by an encoder mounted on a measuring device.

The tension data is provided by a load pin. Depth and tension data can be stored in
internal memory for playback at a later time. The panel can also be connected to a PC
through a serial port for real time acquisition and playback of data.
The system is designed to operate properly from conventional automotive 12-24 vdc
electrical power.
Loss of power to the panel during operation will not cause a loss of depth data. The
panel continuously stores depth data every 100 milliseconds in an internal battery
backed up memory device. When power is applied, the last "Depth" is displayed.

2.2 FEATURES GUIDE
Main Displays
The above configuration is the default display of the AMD2A040. The display contains
Depth, Tension and Line Speed, as well as the current time in the lower right corner.
The left screen contains the differential tension meter which can be set in either
Differential or Incremental mode. The yellow dots indicate differential tension alarm
settings. The Zero Depth button will set depth to “0” but can be pressed again to see
the previous depth.
The right screen contains the Total Tension meter which contains indicators for both
Total Tension Alarm and Total Tension Shutdown.

Dark Screen or Light Screen Display
Depending on the working environment and operator preferences, the panels can be
setup with either a dark background or light background screen.

2.3 DISPLAY ALERTS
Both Displays have dynamic alerts that are displayed above. The alarms and
shutdowns will enable both visual cues and audible alarms to the operator.
The approaching surface alarm will change the depth display to Alert Yellow and flash
an Approaching Surface message.
Both Tension Gauges have color changing bezels to alert the operator that an alarm
has been initiated. The right screen will display an Excessive Tension message when
the Total Tension alarm is initiated.
The right screen will also change both the digital display and the bezel to RED if the
shutdown condition is met, as well as display a Shutdown message as shown.

2.4 BACKUP MODE (Can be selected in the Admin Menu)
Both Displays are capable of running independently as shown. This allows the
operator to continue work in the event of a damaged display or error. This mode
allows the operator to see Depth, Tension, Line Speed, and Differential Tension all on
one screen.

In Backup Mode MMD and CCL functions have been combined in the same menu
selection. Pressure has also been enabled.
It also changes the menu system to display all menus on a single screen.

2.5 LEFT SCREEN MENUS
When in normal mode the Left Screen Menu is intended to include the menus that
would be changed most often. See the following screens.
In this Menu you can select any of the above settings to change. Brightness will toggle
the panel to a higher brightness mode for sunlight readability. The Help menu is
available in both the Left and Right Menus.

2.6 LEFT SCREEN SUB MENUS - DEPTH MENU
This menu is where the Operator can set the system depth.
This is a Depth shim setting that can be used to correct for wheel wear compared to a
known depth. It is selected from the above Depth Menu.
Automatic Depth Correction for Wheel Wear
The BenchMark Hoistman Panels include a Depth Adjust function (Shim). The shim
value entered is used to correct depth readings for situations such as worn
measurement wheels.
If the wheel is worn the depth displayed will be deeper than the actual depth.
Example, if the actual depth is 4,000 feet/meters but the displayed depth is 4,040
feet/meters then enter -10.
The amount entered will be in feet/meters per 1000. This amount will automatically be
added or subtracted from the recorded depth to compensate for the wheel wear.
To calculate the amount of correction needed, the diameter of the measuring wheel at
the bottom of the groove will need to be measured.
The diameter of a new measuring wheel on a Shark/MegaMouth/Dolphin is 15.153” or

47.60455” circumference.
The diameter of a new measuring wheel on a Mako/Thresher/Orca is 20.0593” or

Wheel circumference with wireline installed is calculated by (Wheel dia. + Line dia.) *
pi
Example: Shark with .125 wireline:

(15.153" + .125) * pi = 47.998 inches circumference
47.998/12 = 4’ diameter.
Use a 20”+ blade micrometer to measure the diameter of the worn measuring wheel at
the bottom of the groove.

Using the following formula calculate the amount of depth error by entering the
number measured into the following formula.
Shark with .125” wireline with .005” wheel wear

(15.148 + .125) * pi = 47.982 inches circumference or 3.998 feet.
4.000 - 3.998 = .002 so the shim would be -.5 per 1000’ (calculated by -.002/4.000)
Thresher with .125 wireline with .015” wheel wear

5.284 – 5.280 = .004 so the shim would be -.76’ per 1000’ (calculated by -.004/5.284)
Enter this shim value in the panel Depth Adjust menu. This will correct the displayed
depth to match the actual depth.

2.7 LEFT SCREEN SUB MENUS - TENSION MENU
The Tension menu is where the Operator can Calibrate Tension, select the left meter
setting between differential and incremental tension, set units, enable/disable stretch
correction, and set the scale values for both meters.

2.7 LEFT SCREEN SUB MENUS - TENSION MENU cont’d
This menu is selected via the Tension menu and is used to set the scales displayed
on both scales.

2.8 LEFT SCREEN SUB MENUS - LINE SIZE
This is the standard line selection menu and is dependent on the Head Type selected.

2.9 LEFT SCREEN SUB MENUS - ALARMS
These four menus are selected by pressing the correlating menu button on the right-
hand side. The operator sets these values and the Dynamic Display alerts are
automatically adjusted.

2.10 RIGHT SCREEN MENUS
The right screen menus contain items that would not be frequently adjusted. Head
Type and Encoder settings are currently all that is available with more features to
come.

2.11 HEAD TYPE
This panel is capable of both Wireline and Slickline, requiring the operator to select
the measuring head that the system will be reading.

For measuring heads that fall into the “Other” category, provide the requested
information on these 4 screens.

2.12 LOAD CELL
This panel also allows for many different Load Cell types and can be changed in this
menu.
Note – earlier manuals had an “Other mV” menu selection. This has been moved to
the “Head” – “Other” menu.

2.13 ENCODER
This menu allows the operator to select between encoders and select depth units, as
well as set the Optical Encoder incoming and outgoing pulse rates.

2.14 ENCODER INPUT
This menu is to set the Encoder Pulse rate to match the Optical Encoder on the
measuring head. The operator can select from a list of common BenchMark pulse
rates on the right or enter a new value manually.

2.15 ENCODER OUTPUT
This menu is to select the output pulses that will be sent to a logging system such as
Warrior.

2.16 OTHER MENUS – HELP
The help menu allows the operator to see the model number, software versions for
troubleshooting, and contact information for BenchMark Wireline Products. It also
contains the buttons to get to Admin controls and Summary.

2.17 ADMIN
The Admin menu is a new feature introduced in this panel. It allows the operator to get
to the Backup Mode Select, but also allows the Supervisor to have additional control
over the panel which was not available in previous versions. The default PIN is 00000
and can be set to a custom value once inside the ADMIN system.

2.17 ADMIN cont’d
The Administrator controls are very simple and allow the Supervisor to block the
operator from changing settings in the list above. It also contains a lock which will not
allow the panel to go into the Menu when the line is moving. It requires the operator to
stop before making any adjustments.

2.18 SET PIN
This menu allows the Supervisor to set a unique PIN between 4 and 8 digits long. The
current PIN is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If the PIN is lost the Supervisor
may contact BenchMark for instructions to access the system.

2.19 SUMMARY
This is a quick way to see all current settings in the panel and can be accessed via the
HELP menu which is available on both displays.

2.20 MMD/CCL
This menu allows the operator to switch between MMD and CCL inputs.
Press the CCL Status button to turn CCL on or off. Press the CCL Beep button turn
CCL audio on or off. Adjust CCL voltage with the +/-.
Set MMD Window at 50ft and 100ft or 10m, 20m, 25m, 50m. Pressing the Find 1st
Mark button clears the last mark setting.
The next mark detected will be used to set the window for any subsequent marks. If
MMD is set to ON, the panel will automatically correct depth to correspond to
magnetic mark spacing. When depth is automatically added or subtracted it will be
done evenly at a rate of 1’ per 10’. If MMD is ON, the panel will automatically correct
the MMD WINDOW depth to compensate for cable stretch. The Mark Window will
change as the cable stretches to make sure the window is always set properly. If
MMD is OFF, no stretch will be calculated.
The MMD window determines when the next mark can be detected. The cable must
travel at least the distance of the mark spacing (50’, 100’, 50m or 25m) – the window
setting, before a mark can be detected. Marks can only be detected if they occur
within this window. If the window is set for 5' and the mark spacing is 100’, the cable
must travel no less than 95' and no more than 105’ from the last mark before a new
mark can be detected.

2.21 PRESSURE
This menu allows the operator to turn pressures on or off, zero each pressure, adjust
fullscale, and change units. When pressures are on, the main screen will display the
individual pressures below Tension.

3.0 OPERATIONS - INITIAL PANEL SETUP - JOB SETUP
Both the 40 and 50 panels contain the same functionality and readouts. The only
difference is the form factor/dimensions which allows mounting the panel in different
work environments.
The 2 display screens contain different information. The left or top screen displays
Depth, Line Speed and Differential Tension. The right shows Total Tension and has
options for setting-up the panel. Should there be a screen malfunction, either panel
can quickly be reset to display all necessary readouts on either display screen.
The left screen on the 40 is the same as the top screen on the 50 – the right on the 40
is the same as the bottom on the 50.
Values are presented in both Digital and Analog formats.
Note – when menu selections are made or values entered in the screens, they are
automatically saved in the system. The Back Button navigates back to previous
screens.

3.1 PANEL SETUP
Initially, the panel should be set up for the equipment on the truck. Access to these
settings may be controlled by an administrative password. The setup selections are
on the right screen on the 40 panel and on the bottom screen on the 50 panel.
The 40 panel is used as an example in this training manual.
Click the right/bottom screen Settings button.
3.1.1 SELECT HEAD TYPE

3.1.2 MEASURING HEAD - Then Select the Measuring Head,
NOTE - With this selection, all following parameters will match the head chosen.

3.1.3 LOAD CELL - Press the Load Cell button and select the load cell type and
press the Back button 2 times.

3.1.4 ENCODER - Press the Encoder button.

3.1.5 SELECT ENCODER PARAMETERS. You can set parameters for 1 encoder, 2
separate encoders or set both at the same time.

3.1.6 PPR - Then select Input for input pulse settings. The default is 1200 ppr or
pulses per revolution on the head.

3.1.7 ACQUISITION SYSTEM - if you are using an acquisition system like
Warrior, you would additionally set Encoder Output Pulses to allow the panel and the
acquisition systems to sync with each other.
Select Settings, Encoder and then Encoder Pulses Output. This selects the
encoder pulses to the acquisition system and is measured in PPF or Pulses Per Feet
and not Per Revolution. Through this synchronization process, you input the
necessary PPF value to match the acquisition system. Then select Back and Exit.
The panel is now setup.
Then press Back 2 times and then Exit and the base configuration for the head has
been established and can be changed as needed.

3.1.8 LINE SIZE – Next the line size on the reel needs to be inputted into the system.
On the left or top panel, select Menu and then Line Size. Note the line size choices
displayed are determined by the Head Type that was chosen in the Panel Setup.
Choose the correct size, select Back and Exit.
Note – Once the panel has been setup for your equipment, a password protected
Administrator screen allows you to lock those parameters so that they can’t be
changed during operations.
When using 5K and Line Size Other this may be scaled from the .650HT line size.

3.2.1 JOB SETUP
First setup Alarm values. On the left screen press Menu then Alarms.
Alarms and Shutdown parameters can be set at this screen. These values appear
digitally and also as Yellow and Red dots on the dials showing the upper and lower
limits chosen.
Set Differential Tension, Total Tension and Surface Alarm and Shutdown
parameters on this screen.

3.2.2 WARNING situations show Yellow visual alerts on the panel.
For Shutdown events, RED visual alerts are vividly displayed on the screen…Red
digital readout numbers, Red dial around the gauge, Red flashing “SHUTDOWN
ACTIVATED” and “STARTUP SHUTDOWN” message as well as an audible
Alarm, which can be silenced.
Tension – The panel is capable of displaying Total Tension, Differential Tension and
Incremental Tension

3.2.3 CALIBRATE TENSION This calibration is between the panel and your
acquisition system, Warrior etc. Go through the 3 steps of T-Zero, T-Cal and Release.
Then on the left screen of the Panel, make sure that Depth is Zeroed out and you’re
ready to begin.

3.3.1 SCREEN DAMAGE – in the event of a screen damage, total control can be
switched to the other screen. All critical functions can be monitored and controlled
from a single screen to provide operational redundancy.
On the functioning screen press Menu - Help - Admin - Backup and this will switch all
functions to the working screen. Press - Back 2 times and all panel functions will be
visible on one screen. Press - Exit and the new display will show Depth, Line Speed,
Total Tension, Differential Tension all on one screen. This would allow continued
operation while waiting for a repair.

3.3.2 SCREEN CUSTOMIZATION – the positioning of gauges and readouts can be
customized for user ease. See the samples below.

3.3.3 ADVANCED FEATURES
Depth Offsets – As measuring wheels age, grooves worn in the wheels can alter the
accuracy of measurements. The Depth Offset setting allows operators to apply a
correction factor for wheels to allow for wheel wear. On the Left Screen press - Depth
- then Dep Adj
Menu Linespeed Lock – This feature locks out any Menu button access if there is
any depth movement. This prevents the operator from pressing a button that might
foul the job. It helps avoid distractions while the job is running.
Backup Sync Lock – This is designed to compare and flag depth discrepancies using
BackUp that normally would not occur unless incorrect values were entered into the
system when it was set up. The tolerance level is user definable. When enabled,
operators are forced to use the feature. This feature can be disabled.
File System Lock – This disables the ability for people other than the one with
administrative access to delete log files. You can view, import them and create files
with them but not delete them.
Shutdown Disable – This allows for the temporary disabling of equipment shutdown
capability during times of startup or testing where values would exceed the thresholds
that would normally trigger a shut down.
0-10V output – The 0-10-volt output may be changed to output Tension, Pressure 1,
or Pressure 2.
Ergonomics – The panel also allows switching between a dark and light background
on the display screen plus screen brightness control.

3.4.1 PANEL SOFTWARE UPGRADES
Because the new panels are not MS Windows based, and use purpose-built software
designed specifically to operate this panel, the size of the operating software files is
very small compared with the previous design.
Therefore, update files are very small and can be easily downloaded from the
BenchMarkWireline.com website.
Depending on the update method chosen, some files may need to be saved in a
particular way.
Panel upgrades include upgrades to the main board and to the two screens. The Data
and Program ports on the front of the panel are for board upgrades. For screen
upgrades use the USB slots in the sides of the panels. Each screen has its own USB
slot and they need to be upgraded individually.
There are 2 methods for upgrading the software on boards in the panel. Both are very
simple and highly automated.

3.4.2 PANEL BOARD UPGRADES - The USB Cable Method – you use a laptop to
handle the upgrades. You would download a utility provided by Benchmark which
would walk you through the upgrade process. The actual software upgrade file would
normally be downloaded directly from the BenchMarkWireline.com website.
Use the USB cable provided to connect the panel data port to the laptop. The utility
information and controls over the upgrade process.
Instructions for updating Acquisition Board:(You will need a PC for this step)
1. Copy the BenchMark Updater program to a PC that will be used to program

the panel.
2. Copy the file 2A0X0V1_XX.hex to a known location.
3. Connect the panel with the supplied USB A to B cable (This will be the DATA
port on the FRONT of the panel)
4. Double click on the BenchMark Updater Icon to run the program.
5. Select BROWSE and select the 2A0X0V1_XX.hex file that you have saved.
6. Click the START/RUN button and select YES in the pop up window.
7. The panel will automatically install software. When the installation finishes
you will unplug the cable and be prompted to RESTART the PANEL.
3.4.3 Panel Board Upgrade – The Flash Drive Method – for this method you would
download the software upgrade from the BenchMarkWireline.com website. The files
would need to be downloaded and then saved in specifically named folder on a flash
drive. Note…when choosing a flash drive, if you use one that has an LED light in it
that flashes when files are being copied, that will simplify the upgrade process.
Also, though you may choose to have additional files on the flash drive when you
perform the upgrade, but to make the process rock solid with no opportunity for
corruption or confusion, you may choose to save the update file to an empty totally
clean flash drive.
Remove the plastic cover from the “Program” port on the panel.
1. Download the upgrade files on to a PC. Insert the empty usb drive into the
PC and create a new folder named ams2000
2. Copy the file 2A0X01_15.hex into this new folder and rename it
ams2000.hex
(The folder name and file inside will have the same name ams2000)
3. Turn off the panel and insert this Flash drive into the front Flash A port
labeled PROGRAM
4. Power on the panel. If the Flash drive in use it will have an LED the light will
begin to flash and will stop flashing once finished. A Flash drive that does not
have an LED will also work, but will not have any indication of progress. This
method takes approx. 15 mins to complete. If you are using a Flash drive
without an LED it is recommended to leave it programming for at least 20 mins.
5. Once complete power off the panel, remove the drive, and turn on the panel.
The new Acquisition version can be verified in the help menu.

3.4.4 Screen Upgrade – Flash Drive Needed - the screens are upgraded separately
from the main board in the panel. Screens are upgraded one at a time. This method
only allows using the Flash Drive upgrade method. The upgrades are downloaded to
a pc and they saved to the Flash Drive like in the board upgrade method.
While one screen is being upgraded, the other will be dark.

Instructions for updating screens - Similar to Panel Board upgrade
1. Copy the file AMD2APROG.hex to an empty Flash drive.
2. With the power off insert the drive into the top Flash port on the side of the
panel.
3. Power on the panel and wait for the screen to boot (approx. 1 min)
4. Turn off the panel and move the drive to the bottom Flash port on the side of
the panel.
5. Repeat step 3 and remove the Flash drive.
6. Both Displays should now be updated.
Note – these upgrade procedures are identical for both the 40 and 50 panels. The
ports are in different places, but the board, screens and process are the same.

APPENDIX A - DEPTH CORRECTION FOR WHEEL WEAR
Several BenchMark Hoistman Panels have a Depth Adjustment function (Shim).
This feature is found in these Benchmark panels:

- AMD7A095
- AMD7A099
- AMD6A344
- AMD2A040
- AMD2A050
The shim value entered is used to correct depth readings in the panels.
If the wheel is worn, the depth displayed will be deeper than the actual depth. Example, if
the actual depth is 4,000 feet/meters but the displayed depth is 4,040 feet/meters then enter -
10.
The amount entered will be in feet/meters per 1000. This amount will automatically be added
or subtracted from the recorded depth to compensate for the wheel wear.
There are 2 sources of adjusted depth measurements.
1. Depth Data From Well Markers - If the panel shows that depth is shorter than the
markers’ number, you adjust/shim and add the amount in the panel. If it’s longer, you would
similarly adjust the panel and reduce the amount. Measurements are expressed in feet per
thousand feet of line and both the marker and the panel should have the same numbers.
2. Depth Data From Wear - Wear also comes from monitoring and correcting the ware of the
groove on the measuring wheel being used. To calculate the amount of correction needed,
the diameter of the measuring wheel at the bottom of the groove will need to be measured.
A. The diameter of a new measuring wheel on a Shark/MegaMouth/Dolphin is 15.153”

or 47.60455” circumference.
B. The diameter of a new measuring wheel on a Mako/Thresher/Orca is 20.0593” or

Wheel circumference with wireline installed is calculated by (Wheel diameter + Line

diameter) * pi
Example: Shark with .125 wireline:

(15.153" + .125) * pi = 47.998 inches circumference
47.998/12 = 4’ diameter.
3. Micrometer Wheel Measuring
Use a 20”+ blade micrometer to measure the diameter of the worn measuring wheel at the
bottom of the groove.
Using the following formula calculate the amount of depth error by entering the number
measured into the following formula.
A. Shark with .125” wireline with .005” wheel wear

4.000 - 3.998 = .002 so the shim would be -.5 per 1000’ (calculated by -.002/4.000)
B. Thresher with .125 wireline with .015” wheel wear

5.284 – 5.280 = .004 so the shim would be -.76’ per 1000’ (calculated by -.004/5.284)
Enter this shim value in the panel Depth Adjust menu. This will correct the displayed
depth to match the actual depth.
4. Checking Wheel Groove Wear Using Micrometer
This procedure checks the wheel while it is mounted on the unit.

The dial on the micrometer will be preset at
ZERO equaling 20” with the correct contact
tips installed.
With the micrometer dial on top of the

caliper, have contact tips at 12 and 6
o’clock.
Hold the caliper with one hand at bottom (6

o’clock) pushing up to hold weight of the
micrometer.
The top contact should have very little

resistance.
Move it side to side to find the highest

point from set Zero.

Look for the highest point indicated by
the needle.
Move the probe slowly in the groove

of the wheel looking for the middle of
the groove.
When the needle is at the lowest

point, that is the center of the groove
and the correct diameter.
A new wheel will read 20.058 to

20.060 from Zero.
Subtract your reading from the above.
That will be the wear amount.

APPENDIX B - DEPTH CORRECTION FOR BENCHMARK PANELS
These are the BenchMark panels that allow manual built-in depth adjustments.
BenchMark Panel Part Numbers:
- AMD7A095
- AMD7A099
- AMD6A344
- AMD2A040
- AMD2A050
When adjustments need to be made in the Depth values in these panels, the process is the
same for all models. When adjustments are made in depth values, the panel automatically
recalibrates all functions that depth measurements are used. This example is shown on the
AMD7A099 panel, but the process is the same for all panels listed above.
The Depth Adjustment

Process
Step 1 – Click the “Menu” button
on the lower right corner of the
panel’s screen.

Step 2 – The “Depth Shim” tile
will show the then-current
depth value on this Setup
Menu Screen. Click the
“Depth Shim” tile on the Setup
Menu Screen to make
adjustments to the depth
values.
When new depth corrections
are inputted to the panel, the
most recent depth values will
display in this Depth Shim tile
on this Setup Menu Screen.
Step 3 – The “Depth Shim”

screen is where adjustments in
depth values are inputted.
Numeric values are entered in

the “Enter New Values” box.
• Values can be either
positive or negative
numbers.
• Numbers can have up to
2 decimal points.
• The value ranges are set
between +/- 30.00
Values beyond these
range or numbers require
a new wheel.
When the new values are entered, press OK and the adjustment in depth will be re-
calibrated to the other functions that use depth data in the panel.
