1 Introduction
This manual contains installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for the MARTIN-DECKER
Satellite Automatic Drilling Control System. Read the appropriate section of this manual before
performing the indicated installation, operation, or maintenance procedures. Ensure that all personnel
who will be performing these procedures have read the Important Safety Notice located on Page 5.
OVERVIEW The Satellite Automatic Drilling Controller is a system for controlling weight of a drill
bit during the drilling operation by mechanical manipulation of the drawwork's brake
handle. Operation is based on the relationship of deadline tension and weight on the
drill bit. The system utilizes hydraulic pressure generated by the deadline anchor
weight sensor. As deadline tension increases above the pre-selected level on the
system controller, the Satellite pays out drill line by raising the drawworks brake
lever. This allows the drum to turn. By lowering the brake handle, the drum stops
when a pre-selected weight value is reached.
Figure 1. Operational Overview Diagram

The Auto-Driller is available in two models:
WALL-MOUNTED
The ASA201 incorporates a wall-mounted system controller that operates on rig air supply and is
intended for use with deep-hole rigs. The ASA201 uses hydraulic pressure measurements received from
a deadline anchor weight sensor.
Figure 2. ASA201 Wall-Mounted Auto Driller
CONSOLE-MOUNTED
The ASA202 is a console-mounted system with controller. It uses hydraulic pressure signals from the
deadline anchor. The system’s hydraulic sensing tube is connected to the console’s weight indicator
manifold. The ASA202 operates on the console’s internal air supply.
Figure 3. ASA202 Wall-Mounted Auto Driller

AUTO-DRILLER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Both models of the Auto-Driller include the following components:

■ System ON/OFF control valve
■ Controller Assembly
■ Air motor/differential gearbox W/ Lift line
■ Drum rotation sensor
■ Flexible shaft
■ Brake Handle Spring assembly
■ Air Hoses W/connections
■ Oiler/lubricator
■ Air filter
System On/Off Control Valve
The system control valve starts and stops system operation. This push/pull control is usually mounted on
the driller’s console.
■ When the system control valve is in the ON (pulled out) position, filtered air under pressure is
supplied to the system control unit.
■ When the knob is in the OFF (pushed in) position, it restricts airflow to the system control unit
and the system ceases operation.
ON/OFF - Control Valve
Sometimes called “DRILL KNOB”
7
Controller Assembly Unit
The following functions are available on the Controller assembly: (See Fig. 12, page 24)
■ Speed of penetration, via control knob
■ Weight on Bit (WOB) knob for setting optimal weight.
The system control unit provides: (See Fig. 12, page 24)
■ Hydraulic connections for input from the load cell mounted in the deadline anchor of
diaphragm weight
■ Pneumatic output to the air motor on differential gearbox
■ Pneumatic output to the drum rotation sensor.
The Controller assembly operates a 3:1 air valve which controls the air motor. A bourdon tube in the
unit reacts to changes in weight, from a deadline sensor, mounted in the deadline anchor or from the
deadline diaphragm sensor clamped to the drill line. The bourdon tube, reacting to these changes in
tension, operates a flapper valve that controls air flow through an orifice. The air flow opens the 3:1
valve providing air to operate the air motor. The bit weight knob on the front of the unit is used to
adjust the weight on bit to optimize drilling; while the drill knob (On/OFF) (see page 8) is used to start
and stop the operation of the system. When the knob is in the ON (pulled out) position, air pressure
holds the drum rotation sensor tire firmly against the inside flange of the drawworks drum spool. Air to
drive the air motor gear box is also provided. The Speed Penetration Control knob is used to control the
rate of penetration (ROP), by regulating air pressure to the air motor.
The Speed Penetration Control knob is used to control the rate of penetration (ROP), by regulating the
amount of air pressure applied to the air motor.
Turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise, regulates the amount of air available to the air motor.
A counter-clockwise rotation decreases the ROP and a clockwise rotation increases the ROP.
NOTE Controllers are designed to match load sensing device or method

used the rig.
Rigs having deadline anchors require controllers with 1000 PSI or
1500 PSI bourdon tubes, depending on the type of anchor in use.
If a deflection type weight indicator is used the controller utilizes
a 100 PSI bourdon tube
8
Air Motor/Differential Gearbox
The differential gear box assembly (see below) has two inputs and operates as a differential gear unit,
winding up the cable. The assembly begins winding up the cable/lift line when air pressure is applied to
the air motor. The rotation of the drawworks drum causes rotation of the friction wheel on the drum
rotation sensor.
A counter-rotational force is transferred to the differential gear box assembly via the flex shaft
assembly. The gear assembly responds differentially to the two forces and stops winding up the lift line.
A shaft knob provides the gear assembly with the two-speed capability for fast or slow drilling. A hand
wheel is used to synchronize gearing when shifting from high to low speed and back. The differential
gear assembly, with air motor is mounted on the drum guard or a secure location
Drum Rotation Sensor
The Drum rotation sensor (shown below) consist of an air cylinder, a right angle drive and a rubber
friction wheel. The air cylinder forces the friction wheel against the inside of the drum flange to sensor
the rotation of the drum. The friction wheel drives a right angle gear assembly, which rotates a flexible
shaft connected to the differential gear assembly,
9
NOTE
The differential gear assembly will not lift the brake line unless the
drum rotation sensor is firmly engaged against the drum flange. This is a
safety feature
Flexible Shaft
The flexible shaft connects the drum rotation sensor and the differential gearbox. The flexible shaft
transfers the rotation of the drum rotation sensor to the differential gearbox. The distance of the gear
box from the drawworks determines the length of the flexible shaft.
Cable
One end of the 1/8-inch diameter lift line/cable supplied with the system is terminated and spooled
onto the differential gearbox reel, and the other end is connected to the drawworks brake lever. Clamps
are provided to secure both ends of the cable.
10
Spring Assembly with Chain
The spring assembly is connected by chain to the drawworks brake handle and is welded or securely
anchored to the rig floor. The spring will maintain pull on the brake lever, keeping the brake unit set,
unless a counter force from the gear box cable overrides it.
Principle of operation: The spring assembly provides a constant force on the drawworks brake lever. It
opposes the force applied by the air motor/differential gearbox and tends to keep the drawworks brake
set.
■ When operation of the differential gearbox applies a force that exceeds the force applied by the
spring assembly, the drawworks brake is disengaged, allowing the drawworks to payout.
■ As the force applied by the differential gearbox lessens, the spring assembly causes the drawworks
brake to engage, reducing the rate of payout or completely setting the brake.
Air Hoses
Air hoses, along with a ¼” hydraulic hose are used to interconnect the components of both console and
wall-mounted systems.
1/2-inch hose for supply to main air control valve and controller.
3/8-inch hose for supply to the gearbox.
1/4-inch hose for supply to the right-angle drive.
11
Lubricator
The lubricator supplies oil (SAE 10W-30 or equal) to the air motor during operation and is mounted
directly on the air motor.
Air Filter
The air filter and fittings are rated at 150 PSI (maximum) and is installed between the rig air tap and the
control valve so all components in the system receive filtered air. The air filter for the ASA202 system
can be mounted in the driller’s console.
12
2 Installation
Before the Auto-Driller can be installed, the installation site must be prepared.
The following conditions must be met:
■ The brake handle must have a hook to which the Auto-Driller’s spring assembly can be
connected, and the spring assembly must be securely bolted or welded onto the rig floor. Be
certain that the spring assembly can be firmly fixed to the floor, and that it will not cause a
hazard.
CAUTION Install signs or use some other method to warn personnel who
will be working near the spring assembly.
■ The rubber wheel on the drum rotation sensor must make good contact with the drum flange
as the drawworks drum turns. Keep the drum flange clean, dry, and smooth while the Auto-
Driller is operating.
■ For console-mounted installations, make sure that the air filter, control valve and the
connecting hoses can be incorporated into the console. After you have reviewed these
conditions, proceed with the most important part of installation: planning ahead (see
“Facilities Preparation”: Page 14).
2.1 Facilities Preparation: Installing components

Before installation, place the various components in their approximate locations to ensure that the
flexible shaft has a single, smooth curve and that the lift line reel will obtain a straight pull on the brake
handle.
For installation of the six basic components shown in figure 1, and 4, ensure there is adequate space for
mounting them.
For proper operation of the components, follow the steps below:

1. Mount the differential gear box so the cable will have a straight line of pull to the brake handle.
NOTE
Pulleys, such as ROP derrick sheaves can be used to ensure the cable pulls in a straight line
2. Mount the drum rotation sensor in the drawworks, figure 7, without interfering with the drum
or cable movement. The drum flange should be smooth, with a dry surface to ensure the rubber
wheel on the sensor turns properly.
NOTE
13
The clearance between
Acadianathe rubber
Oilfield wheel and|the
Instruments drum flange
Auto-Driller should be ¾” to 1”
Manual
3. Install the flexi-shaft between the gear box and the drum rotation sensor
4. Weld or bolt the spring set to the rig floor and adjust it for sufficient pull on the brake handle.
Verify the brake handle has a hook so the spring set can be attached.
NOTE
Drawworks brake characteristics differ between rigs. Experience determines how

much tension is required. (Too much tension will cause erratic operation, too little
will allow the drum to creep).
5. Ensure there is adequate room in the console for the air filter, control valve and the connecting
hoses. (ASA101 systems only)
2.2 Mounting the Components

Mount the components as shown detailed in the following sections and depicted in Figure 4. If
possible, route airlines below the rig floor.
NOTE
Do not use gear box for grounding the welding electrode. Clamp the welding
electrode to a structure attached to the rig floor

Installing System Components
STEP 1: INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER
2.3 Controller Assembly Installation

If a wall-mount controller has been purchased, the controller assembly will come pre-installed in
a central control box and will only require hookup. See Figure 5. The bourdon tube will be purged and
filled at the same time the weight indicator.
The console-mount auto-driller controller will require installation as well as hook up. The controller is
supplied mounted on a plywood board with all the integral tubing connections made up. Mount the
controller assembly near the driller’s position protected from the weather, preferably in the doghouse
close to the door. Fill the bourdon tube and all the hydraulic plumbing leading to it with Acadiana
Oilfield Instruments hydraulic fluid 240-R
16
ASA101 WALL-MOUNTED CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
The ASA201 controller is shipped mounted on a plywood base, with all integral tubing attached.
1. Secure the ASA201 controller to a solid wall in a place close to the driller’s position that is
protected from the weather. Mount the controller so that it is easy to view its gauges and
operate its controls. Figure 5 shows the ASA201 controller mounted in the doghouse.

arrives at your site purged and filled. To install the ASA202, connect it to system air and hydraulic lines
as shown in Figure 6.
The Controller is supplied mounting on a plywood board with all the integral tubing connections made
up.
Figure 6. Mounting the ASA202 Controller in the Doghouse
18
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE DRUM ROTATION SENSOR
2.4 Drum Rotation Sensor Installation
Locate the drum rotation sensor inside the drum guard in a position to allow the flexible shaft a
smooth curve to the differential gear assembly. In locating the drum rotation sensor consideration must
be given to two requirement: The flexible shaft must form a smooth curve to the differential gear
assembly and the rubber friction wheel (tire) must be ¾” from the drum spool flange, as close as
possible to the rim. Refer to Figure 7, for the overall mounting dimensions.
Follow the steps below to properly mount the drum rotation sensor:
1. Hold the drum rotation sensor inside the drum guard to determine the best location
2. When the drum rotation sensor is located, draw a line around the base. Remove the sensor.
3. Remove the air cylinder and slide it from the base plate.
4. Weld the base plate to the drum guard at the location determined in steps 1 and 2
5. Apply a liberal amount of grease to the slide area of the base plate
6. Slip the friction wheel slide into place and attach the air cylinder to the base plate.
7. Align friction wheel so it will roll true on the drum spool flange. Tighten the wheel mount
locknut once aligned.
8. Connect air hose drum DRILL KNOB valve to air cylinder.
9. Cut hole thru top cover of drum guard to provide passage of the flexible shaft from the
drum rotation sensor to the differential gear assembly.
10. Install one end of the flexible shaft to the right angle drive shaft at the drum rotation sensor
Figure 7. Drum Rotation Sensor Placement
19
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE AIR MOTOR/DIFFERENTIAL GEAR BOX
2.5 Air Motor and Differential Gear Assembly Installation
Locate the air motor and differential gear assembly on the top cover of the drum guard so the
flexible shaft has a smooth curve to the drum rotation sensor and the lift line reel has a straight pull on
the brake lever. The gear assembly should be mounted level. Fabricate a bracket, as necessary, to attain
level mounting.
Follow the steps below to correctly mount the differential gear assembly. See Figure 4, and 8
1. Install the free end of the flexible shaft to the differential gear assembly
2. Mount the gear assembly on the top of the drawworks with the lift line reel in line with the
brake lever, or intermediate sheave. Fabricate a bracket as necessary to maintain level
mounting and weld in place.
3. Bolt gear assembly in place
4. Unreel full length of lift line from reel
5. Hook end of line to brake lever
6. Take up slack at reel by pulling line thru hole in reel. Brake lever must remain all the way
down in its fully lowered position.
7. Loosen clamp and slide to within 3 feet of the reel (approximately 3 or 4 wraps), Tighten
clamp.
8. Cut off excess line
9. Reel lift line clockwise around reel, facing side of reel. See Figure 9
10. Connect air line from air motor to air motor valve port on the controller assembly
11. Connect rig air, thru the filter, to the DRILL KNOB valve inlet fitting
Figure 8. Mounting the Air Motor/Differential Gearbox
20
Figure 9. Loading the Gearbox with Cable
STEP 4: INSTALLING THE BRAKE SPRING ASSEMBLY
2.6 Brake Spring Assembly
Figure 10. Installing the Spring Assembly
1. Securely Weld or Bolt the end of the spring assembly containing the shorter end of the chain to
the rig floor. See Figure 11
2. Attach the other end of the spring assembly to the drawworks brake lever. The brake lever must
have a hook or hole to which the spring assembly can be attached. The spring assembly must
not slide when it is connected to the brake lever.
21
2.7 Purging and Pressurization of the Hydraulic Line to the Deadline Sensor
The ASA101 system’s hydraulic line and controller are pre-purged with 240-R hydraulic fluid and
tested at the factory. After connecting the hydraulic line to the deadline weight sensor, the system
should be purged of air and re-charged as necessary. Typically, this is done as a standard routine of the
installation procedure.
22
STEP 5: INSTALL MAIN AIR CONTROL AND CONNECT THE SYSTEM AIR SUPPLY
1. Install the main air control valve (sometimes called the “drill knob”) in the driller’s console.
Refer to the figure below to complete the system connections to the main air control valve.
Figure 11. Connecting the Drill Knob and System Air Supply
23
3 Operation
The Auto-Driller operates after drilling has begun, with a minimum of 10,000 pounds of bit weight
registered on the weight indicator.
WARNING Damage to equipment can occur if you operate the Auto-Driller

for extended periods of time when you are not actually drilling.
Operate the system only after drilling has begun. Disengage the
system immediately when drilling stops.
AUTO-DRILLER Control Locations

When the system has been fully installed and checked, review Figure 12 to familiarize yourself with the
location of controls and their operation.
Figure 12. Auto-Driller Controls
24
Figure 13. Main Air Control Valve (Auto-Driller System Main Control)
In console systems, (ASA202) the main air control

valve that controls system on/off is mounted in the
console. In wall-mounted systems (ASA201) the
main air control valve is typically mounted in the
driller’s console, or as close to the driller’s console as
is possible.
Adjusting Spring Tension

The spring assembly’s tension may need adjustment, because the operating characteristics of
drawworks brake levers differ between rigs depending on the condition of the rig’s band brake. Too
much spring tension will keep the brake applied excessively. Too little spring tension will allow the drum
to creep.
Figure 14. Adjusting Spring Tension
To find the best spring tension for your rig, you must experiment by changing the length of the chain
that connects the spring assembly to the drawworks brake lever. Increase the chain length to lessen
spring tension. Decrease chain length to increase spring tension.
25
Calibration
Calibration and testing of the controller and other equipment is performed at the factory, however;
make sure the controller is properly set by adjusting and tightening the thumb screw as shown in Figure
15. This screw must be at the top of the slot as shown and tightened firmly.
Figure 15. Internal View of Controller Assembly
Operation
The Auto-Driller Systems are designed to be engaged after drilling has commenced and at least 10,000
lbs. of bit weight is showing on the weight indicator. To start the system follow the steps below.
1. Make sure the spring is holding the drawworks brake handle down and the air control valve is
off (pushed IN). See Figure 16
2. Rotate the bit weight knob, Figure 12 clockwise a few turns to disengage the controller
3. Pull out the air control valve, applying air pressure to the system
4. Turn the speed penetration control knob, Figure 12, clockwise until the speed regulator gauge
indicates 30 PSI
5. Turn the bit weight knob slowly counter-clockwise to the point where the air output gauge
indicates air pressure flow is triggering the air motor control valve (internal valve). Turn back
clockwise ¼ turn or until the output gauge reads below 3 PSI. The controller output air pressure
is now balancing the input pressure from the hydraulic sensor. This corresponds to the current
weight on bit. As bit weight begins to fall below this level, the controller will activate the air
motor on the gear box (Figure 4), lifting the brake handle permitting the drawworks drum to
turn,
26
Figure 16. Operating the Main Air Control Valve (Drill Knob)
6. Two speed operation is possible by shifting gears in the gear box, Figure 17, Pull the knob out for
high speed; push in for low speed.
Figure 17. Gearbox Speed Adjustment
CAUTION When shifting to slow speed, do not force-shift the knob by striking
it with a hammer or other heavy object; use the hand wheel to help
mesh the gears together
CAUTION Always disengage the auto-driller system when not actually drilling as
damage to equipment may result
27
Stopping the Auto-Driller System
To disengage or stop the Auto-Driller, push the main air control valve “DRILL KNOB” in.
4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
MAINTENANCE
The Auto-Driller has been tested and calibrated prior to shipping. To ensure optimum operation,
perform these maintenance tasks.
Daily Maintenance
1. Check air filter for accumulated water and sediment. Blow clean as necessary.
2. Check hydraulic fluid level in the lubricator. Add (SAE 10W-30 or equal) oil when necessary.
Weekly Maintenance
1. Check the air motor/differential gear box for oil leaks. Check the oil level in the sight glass. If you
cannot see oil in the sight glass, open the oil filler plug and inspect the level visually. Replenish
the reservoir with 10W-30 motor oil and replace the filler plug.
2. Inspect the system’s air lines for abrasions or cuts, and check that all fittings are tight and do not
leak.
3. Check the drum rotation sensor to ensure that the air cylinder is functioning properly. The
rubber wheel should be running true on the drum’s rotational axis and making good contact
28
with the drum flange. Add light grease to the rotation sensor’s sliding parts as necessary. Inspect
the rubber wheel for wear.
4. Check the flex-shaft and ensure that it is not abraded or damaged. Check the set screws on both
ends, to ensure they are tight.
5. Keep the controller and instrument case clean and free of dust and dirt. Ensure that the interior
of the instrument is clean and that the cover closes securely against the gasket.
a. Clean the controller and instrument case as necessary. Blow off dust and dirt. Make sure
the interior or the instrument panel is clean and that the lid shuts securely against the
gasket
6. The auto-driller system will not operate properly if the instrument orifice is restricted by dirt.
See page 30 for cleaning orifice.
29
Cleaning the Auto-Driller Orifice
Periodically, or if the drill line will continuously creep, check to see if the instrument orifice requires
cleaning:
1. Push the main air control valve in to stop the Auto-Driller system.
2. Disconnect the lift line from the brake lever.
3. Pull the main air control valve out to start the Auto-Driller system.
4. Rotate the Bit Weight Control knob until the flapper is clear of the orifice.
30
5. If the Air Output gauge registers 3-5 psi with 20 psi registering on the supply gauge, the
Auto-Driller orifice needs cleaning.
6. Push the main air control valve in.
7. Clean the orifice according to the directions on page 35.
8. Pull the main air control valve out. The Air Output gauge should indicate a ZERO reading.
9. Push the main air control valve in.
10. Attach the lift line to the brake lever and resume drilling.
