The main Pages are:

Front Page – Shows System Data and allows access to primary functions.

Makeup – Makeup or breakout related pages and functions

Alter Data – Allows system setting to be modified

Misc – Job & program management.

2 Front Page
The front page screen shows the primary setting for the Salvo system

The screen is split into 5 sections :

Torque Settings

Turns Settings

Tong Settings

Status Panel

Menu Buttons

3
 HD6 software Guide

2.1 Front Page - Torque Settings

2.1.1 REF
Reference Torque set the lower threshold for starting to record a graph. And determines the 0 turns or leftmost
position of the graph.

2.1.2 OPT
Opt torque is used to set the minimum torque to be applied to a connection when Min torque will not
guarantee the required Delta torque value. If set to ‘0’ the function is disabled and the values are not shown on
the front page.

2.1.3 MIN
Minimum torque is the amount of torque that must be applied to a connection.

2.1.4 MAX
Maximum Torque is the maximum torque that is allowed to be applied to a connection.

2.1.5 MSP
Maximum Shoulder Point is the maximum torque allowed for the shoulder position.

2.1.6 LSP
Lowest Shoulder Point is the minimum torque allowed for the shoulder position.

2.2 Front Page - Turns Settings

2.2.1 MIN
Minimum Turns is the amount of turns that must be applied to a connection.

2.2.2 MAX
Maximum Turns is the maximum turns that are allowed to be applied to a connection.

2.2.3 PRE
Pre Turns sets the number of turns from initial tong rotation that are recorded before the speed control
function is activated. Pre-turns torque values are recorded even if the torque is below REF Torque. The speed
control function is activated and normal graph recording starts once the REF Torque has been exceeded. If the
torque then drops below REF Torque for more that 0.2 turns the system will automatically revert back to Pre
turns recording mode.

2.2.4 Min Del

Min Delta Turns sets the Minimum amount of turns allowed between the shoulder point and final turns. If set
> 0 the system will allow the makeup to continue until the Torque is above Min Torque and the turns after
shoulder is greater than Min Delta. If set to zero Min Delta is ignored.

2.2.5 Max Del

Max Delta Turns sets the Maximum amount of turns allowed between the shoulder point and final turns. If
set to zero Max Delta is ignored.

4
 HD6 software Guide

2.2.6 AUTO
Auto Turns set the number or turns after which the system will automatically switch from Front Page to
Graph mode. Setting Auto turns to zero will disable this function.

2.3 Front Page - Tong Settings

2.3.1 LCF
Load Correction Factor is the multiplier that is used to compensate for variations in Load Cell outputs.
Salvos are all calibrated to the same electrical standard so that load cells can be freely interchanged. The LCF
is specific to the load cell being used, and can be found on the calibration sheet.
It is essential that the correct LCF is used as without it the torque figures displayed by the Salvo will be
inaccurate.

2.3.2 CPT
Counts Per Turn is the number of pulses generated by the tong for each complete turn (360 Degrees).

2.3.3 ARM
Arm Length is the distance from the centre of rotation of the tong to the load cell attachment point.
When using a torque sub the ARM length is entered as 0 (which defaults to 36”). CRT will then be shown in
the ARM section on the front page.

2.3.4 HOR
Horizontal Angle is the angle between the snub line (if used) and a line at right angles to the centre line of the
tong. If the snub line is not at 90 degrees to the tong the readings from the load cell need to be corrected.
When using a tong with an integral backup this should be set to zero.

2.3.5 VER
Vertical Angle is the angle between the snub line (if used) and horizontal. If the snub line is not horizontal the
readings from the load cell need to be corrected. When using a tong with an integral backup this should be set
to zero.

2.3.6 Temp
Temp displays “On” if the “Delta Temperature Monitoring” is switched on and “Off” if it is disabled.

2.4 Front Page – Status Panel

The status panel is at the bottom of the Front Page. It has two rows
