PD surface unit 9.0
IDEAL / SPM 6.1
Toolscope (patch) FS4353AB
PowerPlan 3.8
1. For alternative Bias Unit sizes available for PD675, see Table 2-4.
2. Fishing neck is the distance from the face seal of the top connection to the start of the external
upset on the sub.
3. Dependent on formation - assumes use of dedicated BeCu flex collar.
4. System length is that of the minimum self-contained operating configuration, excluding stabiliser,
float subs, crossovers, etc. Assumes no recuts.
5. Equivalent bending stiffness required is that of the equivalent API collar (as specified in PEI
tables).
6. Maximum collar dogleg refers to maximum collar curvature, not hole curvature. This is a collar
fatigue limit.
1. Fishing neck is the distance from the face seal of the top connection to the start of the external
upset on the sub.
1. Fishing neck is the distance from the face seal of the top connection to the start of the external
upset on the BU.

1. This is the recommended pre-charge as a pressure only. Higher values are generally
better.
2. This is a filter screen placed in line between the pump and the standpipe manifold.
3. Filter assembly present within bias unit for mudflow diverted to the BU actuators.
4. No provision has been made for the fitting of a clamp-on stabiliser.
1. Supports Real Time Clock, memory data (MK1 comms) and diagnostic data (Mk2 comms)
2. The recommended battery shelf life is 3 months. See data on CU sticker.
3. Recorded data in Control Unit (Mk1 Communications Module). Logged data channels and
partitions are dependent on SCB set-up.

1. A ShortHop Receiver consists of a Receiver Cartridge and the appropriately sized stabilizer.
1. Dependant upon collar material, distance between transmitter / receiver and Upper Torquer
Generator output voltage.
2. Error rate is proportional to received signal strength. This may be affected by the distance between
the transmitter / receiver, the voltage supplied to the transmitter and the collar material. Error rate
quoted is for ranges detailed in table. Transmitter supply voltage must be > 12V (ie. Minimum
Upper Torquer operational RPM).
3. Resistance of windings will vary with temperature.
Table 2-17 defines the PowerDrive Dpoints that are embedded into IDEAL 7 and
HSPM 7. Note that a ShortHop receiver sub modem software change to V7.0 is also
required to implement this change. A Mod Recap will be issued to cover this change
when appropriate.
1. AZI available in two resolutions, normal (0.1 deg) and LO (0.4 deg). The same source data is
available.
2. Control Unit tool face will be available in two resolutions, normal and LO resolution (6.4 deg) -
for use where bandwidth is limited.
3. SIG_LO, SIG_HI (Signal Strength) is also available in two resolutions, 12 and 6-bit. The 6-bit
version cuts off at approx. 50% receiver input saturation.
