This mode is used for normal driling operations. When in this mode, the driller uses the DRILL and TDS RPM incremental encoder knobs to set dling operation limits. = Spin mode — When pushed, the green indicator illuminates to show that the top drive is in SPIN mode, This mode is used for shouldering up pipe while making up connections. When in this mode, the RPM and torque settings are fixed at standard SPIN mode rotational speed and torque values. = Torque mode ~ When pushed and held, the green indicator illuminates to show that the top drive is in TORQUE mode. This mode is used for making up and breaking out connections. When this mode is selected in the FORWARD direction, RPM is fixed and torque gradually ramps up to the makeup torque setpoint. When this mode is selected in the REVERSE direction, RPM is fixed and torque gradually ramps up to the maximum torque of the top drive, or until the connection is broken, whichever happens first a TDS Direction ~ There are three buttons in this console area. = Forward - When pushed, the rotational direction of the top drive is set to forward (clockwise), the lubrication pump starts, and rotation ramps up to the RPM setpoint. The green indicator illuminates when the top drive is assigned to rotate clockwise (forward), = Off When pushed, the top drive is de-assigned and rotation will stop. = Reverse ~ When pushed, the rotational direction of the top drive is set to reverse (counterclockwise), the lubrication pump starts, and rotation ramps up to the RPM setpoint. The green indicator illuminates when the top drive is assigned to rotate counter-clockwise (reverse). 4-7 ee SV exrmowcumnsvencs
