PC3000 with 26" Deck (PC3000-26) User’s Manual
5-6 Document ID 13-003 v 2.0
8. The carrier automatically accelerates and decelerates as it lifts. Run the carrier only as far forward out
over the rig floor as necessary. It stops automatically at mouse hole.
9. Use the skate to push the tubular further off the end of the carrier into the reach of the elevators.
10. Once the elevators have latched, the tubular can be picked up off the carrier. Depending on tubular
weight, the carrier can be left in place to help control the tubular as its pin end slides off the carrier, or
the carrier can be lowered slightly sooner to improve cycle time when tripping.
Warning!
The carrier-lift cables are designed and intended to
work in unison. Inspect the cables frequently for
fraying and replace them as required.
NOTES
• A safety curtain laser eye on either side of
the Catwalk shuts down the device if the beam
is broken while the carrier is in motion. The
carrier-lift winch does not operate if an object
on the Catwalk blocks the laser eye.
• The PLC is programmed with a Carrier Encoder
Override Control sequence. To wind or
unwind cable on the drum, simultaneously
press and hold the MOTOR START button
and TERMINAL START/RESET button
while using the CARRIER LIFT UP/DOWN lever.
• Use Carrier Encoder Override during rig up/down
procedures, when the encoder requires
re-zeroing, or during certain
maintenance procedures.
Caution
DO NOT push tubulars up the carrier as the
elevators are lifting it. This will cause mechanical
damage to the elevators.
