Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all M/D TOTCO equipment.
The service procedures recommended by M/D TOTCO and described in the technical manuals
are recommended methods of performing service operations. When these service operations
require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose, those special tools should be used as
recommended. Warnings against the use of specific service methods that can damage equipment
or render it unsafe are stated in the manuals. These warnings are not exclusive, as M/D TOTCO
could not possibly know, evaluate and advise service people of all conceivable ways in which ser-
vice might be done or of all possible associated hazardous consequences. Accordingly, anyone
who uses service procedures or tools which are not recommended by M/D TOTCO must first sat-
isfy themselves thoroughly that neither personnel safety nor equipment safety will be jeopardized
by the method selected.

The Digital Gauge (I & II) can be mounted in two different methods- Box Mount or Panel Mount.
There are two options available when box mounting the Digital Gauge.
If the battery pack is attached, three 1/4 X 20 screws are used to mount the Gauge in the box or
the selected bulk head location.

Whether the Digital Gauge is externally powered or the battery pack is attached, it will be neces-
sary to attach an intermediate mounting bracket, P/N 221033-001, P/N 221033-002 or
P/N 221033-003, to the back of the Gauge. Brackets 221033-001 and 221033-002 are designed
for wall mounting, while the 2210033-003 was designed for flat surface mounting. The
P/N 221033-001 bracket has a 15 tilt for those applications requiring tilt. Attach the mounting
bracket in the box using three 1/4 X 20 SST screws. Mount the gauge into the bracket using four
#8 X 32, 1 inch long screws.
NOTE
Gauge brackets, 221033-001, 221033-002, and 221033-003 can be used
with Digital Gauge and attached battery pack or externally powered.
The Digital Gauge (I & II) can be panel mounted to accommodate two different configurations.
To panel mount the Digital Gauge with the six-inch bezel, it will be necessary to cut a circular hole
(6.375") in the panel. Drill four holes using a 1/4 inch drill bit around the parameter of the hole to
match the hole pattern as shown in Figure 3-12. Insert four 10 X 32 screws in the front case ring
and continue through the face plate of the console panel. Attach a lock-washer and nut to each of
the four screws.

To panel mount the Digital Gauge with the ten-inch bezel, it will be necessary to cut a circular hole
(6.375") in the panel. Drill four holes using a 1/4 inch drill bit around the parameter of the hole to
match the hole pattern as shown in Figure 3-14. Insert four 10 X 32 screws in the front case ring
and continue through the face plate of the console panel. Attach a lock-washer and nut to each of
the four screws.
NOTE
The Digital Gauge with the Ten-inch bezel is intended to retrofit "TOTCO"
gauges which have a pre-cut 7.37" diameter cut-out (hole) in the panel.

To maintain intrinsic safety, Digital Gauge I and Digital Gauge II must be powered by external
power with a safety barrier or via the M/D TOTCO battery pack. If externally powering the gauge,
the following two options apply- 1) externally powering the gauge from an unregulated 9-36 VDC
or AC (120/240VAC) supply or 2) externally powering the gauge from a regulated 12 Volt input.
Other than external power, the Digital Gauge can be powered by a M/D TOTCO replaceable bat-
tery pack and maintain its intrinsic safety rating.
Unregulated DC or AC power must be linked to the Digital Gauge via the M/D TOTCO external
Regulator/Barrier Power Box, which accepts unregulated 9-36 VDC or 120/240 VAC. This power
source is converted to a stable, regulated +12VDC supply and passed through a current limiting
barrier to provide 6.25 VDC to 8.45 VDC when connected to the gauge.
WARNING
If regulated 12 Volt input power is available, a Regulator/Barrier assembly is not required. How-
ever, it will still be necessary to interface with a Barrier Junction Box. Acceptable barriers are listed
in Table 3-5.
NOTE
If power to the barrier exceeds 12.5 Volts, an internal barrier fuse will blow
rendering the barrier useless and permanently damaged.
NOTE
To prevent power interruptions to the gauge, it is strongly recommended that
the 12 Volt power supply be powered via a Uninteruptable Power Supply (UPS).
Standard 221039-01XX *
Marine 221039-02XX *
NOTE
Substitution of barriers or improper installation may impair intrinsic safety.
Digital Gauge I or II may be powered by a replaceable intrinsically safe battery pack. The battery is
attached to the back of the Digital Gauge by four SST screws. The connector is recessed into the
battery pack face and interconnects with the connector located in the middle of the Digital Gauge
back.
Battery Life will vary, dependent upon the application and the type of sensors connected to the
Digital Gauge. A breakdown of expected battery life by sensor type is available in Appendix B of
this manual.

The Digital Gauge II provides a relay contact output for alarm actuation. Relay contacts are con-
nected to pin A and pin B on the J2 connector (Figure 3-24.). When an alarm limit (HIGH or LOW)
is reached or exceeded, an internal relay contact is closed allowing external power to the alarm
device. Three separate Alarm Device installations are addressed in this manual. In all three instal-
lations the Digital Gauge may be either powered by battery or by the external source. However,
the Alarm Device (i.e Horn) is always powered via the external barrier assembly.
3-6-1 Digital Gauge & Horn (DIV 1/Zone 0), Barrier (Safe Area)
A typical installation includes Digital Gauge II and Alarm Horn located in the hazardous area
(DIV 1/Zone 0) with the Barrier located in the safe area. A certified intrinsically safe Barrier with the
safety parameters listed in Table 3-9 must be used. Figure 3-24. illustrates the correct wiring pro-
cedure for this application

In a safe area (non-IS) location, the Digital Gauge (I & II) can be connected to an alarm device
without the use of a barrier assembly. However, this installation requires an appropriate sized
resistor be placed in series with the gauge and alarm device. This ensures the maximum switch
current is not exceeded. Refer to Table 3-12 to determine resistor sizing.
0 - 10 Volts 100 mA
10 - 20 Volts 75 mA
20 - 30 Volts 50 mA
The Digital Gauge (II) has a serial communication link which may be used to communicate
between Digital Gauges or other safe area devices.
Up to ten Digital Gauge IIs can be linked via the serial interface link. In this application, one device
will be the Sender (Master) unit and the other devices are Receivers (slaves). The Receiver oper-
ates independent of the Sender device, and may display any configured channel. Additionally,
independent alarms can be set at the slave unit.

RS485- as one twisted pair and Ground in the second twisted pair.
NOTE
On all receivers, do not connect anything to the barrier (circuit) ground lug
(T2). All Receiver gauges are linked and dependent on the Master gauge
ground. If battery powered, connect barrier ground (T2) on the Master
gauge to local ground. If externally powered through a barrier, ensure T2
is connected to barrier ground at the barrier box.
CAUTION
Never connect barrier ground (T2) on Receivers to local ground. High
ground current could occur.

A Digital Gauge II located in a hazardous area can be linked to a Digital Gauge II located in a safe
area. In this application, like the Digital Gauge to Digital Gauge application, one device will be the
Sender (master) device and the other unit operates as the Receiver (slave) device. A safety bar-
rier, MTL755, must be installed between the Digital Gauge in the hazardous area and the Digital
Gauge in the safe area. Refer to Figure 3-29. for wiring information.
NOTE
A barrier is not required if safe area gauge is powered via an I.S. battery
pack or I.S. barrier.
Follow the steps below when wiring a digital gauge in a safe area to a digital gauge in a hazardous
location.
The Digital Gauge (I & II) can be installed to a M/D TOTCO pressure transducer to monitor various
pressure applications. Two pressure transducer capacities are available from M/D TOTCO. The
operator must select the proper sensor, dependent upon the pressure associated with the specific
application. The wiring procedure remains constant for both capacities.

NOTE
Reference Digital Gauge catalog drawing 221035 for Pressure Sensor
accessories (wingnut, sub assembly, etc.).
When connecting to a M/D TOTCO pressure transducer sensor, follow the below steps:
NOTE
Cable must be constructed of (4) twisted pairs of 20-AWG individually
shielded wire and jacketed with an overall shield. TO MAXIMIZE
ACCURACY - Minimize cable length
NOTE
Connect the CABLE CONNECTED line to GROUND (Pin F) at the pressure
transducer connector cable end. This loop will enable the digital gauge to
display cable error messages if the cable becomes damaged or the
Pressure Sensor is disconnected.
The Digital Gauge (I &II) can be connected to a variety of strain gauge sensors. The battery oper-
ated gauge is capable of running any strain gauge with a 2mv/V output with a bridge resistance of
between 3.5K ohm and 10K ohm. The range must be between 1.8mv/V (minimum) and 2.1mv/V
(maximum). The externally powered Digital Gauge (I & II) can power any strain gauge bridge
(1.8mv/V - 2.1mv/V) with a bridge resistance of 350 ohms to 10K ohms.
These sensors can be used in various applications to monitor a variety of parameters. Typical
application include- (Line tension, Anchor Tension, Tong Torque, and Bulk Weight)
The wiring procedure remains constant for all cases. Figure 3-34. illustrates the procedure for wir-
ing to a strain gauge sensor to a Digital Gauge.
NOTE
The output of a strain gauge device is a very low level signal (mv/volt). In
order to maximize accuracy - minimize cable length. Maximum
recommended cable length is 25 feet.
The RCAL (Automatic Calibration) value will vary dependent upon the bridge resistance value and
mv/V output. Table 3-15 lists the various bridge resistance values versus the required RCAL resis-
tor value.
NOTE
The RCAL resistor is required if auto calibration is preferable or if a known
load (weight) is not available for the calibration procedure. RCAL simulates
a near full scale load to the gauge and is automatically activated during
calibration, if you have wired the sensor using the RCAL connections.

NOTE
Reference Strain Gauge Calibration Procedure 221370 for detailed
instructions on calibrating a Digital Gauge with a strain gauge sensor.
NOTE
If this application is for Tong Torque, refer to Calibration Procedure 221416
and 221370.
The Digital Gauge (I & II) can be installed with a variety of 0 - 5 Volt sensors. These sensors can
be used in various applications to monitor a variety of parameters. The following channels typically
utilize a 0-5 Volt sensor- (Pit Level, Mud Flow, and Trip Tank).
The following two sections describe the installation procedures for Pit Level applications.
When connecting the Digital Gauge to a Pit Probe assembly (P/N 262622-Series), follow the
below steps:
NOTE
When using Pit Probes P/N 262622-205 (6 ft.), 262622-202 (8 ft.), or
262622-201 (10 ft.), with a battery operated Digital Gauge, you must insert
a 1K Ohm (5% - 1/8w) resistor P/N 911440-010 inside the Pit Probe J-Box
as illustrated. This resistor prevents excessive battery current drain on the
battery. Failure to insert resistor will significantly shorten battery life.
NOTE
Cable must be constructed of (3) twisted pairs of 20-AWG individually
shielded wire and jacketed with an overall shield. Cable is available from
M/D TOTCO in two varieties - standard and marine. The part number for
standard cable is 221015-05XX, with the XX determine the length. The part
number for marine cable is 221015-06XX, with the XX determining the
length. Refer to Table 3-4 to complete the length dash number.
When connecting the Digital Gauge to a Pit Probe assembly (P/N H10941A-Series), follow the
steps below:
Ensure that mud probes selected for each installation are the correct length. If mud probes do not
already have floats in place, loosen set screws in each retaining collar and remove collars form
end of each probe. Place a float on each probe and replace the collars. Align the top of the retain-
ing collar to one of the lines etched around the lower part of each probe. The line nearest the bot-
tom of the probe is used with an eight inch spherical float. The upper line is used with a twenty inch
disk float. Install the mud probe/s as follows:
1. Install mud probes in areas with a minimum of mud turbulence. Tighten mounting
clamp on tank edge or on cross member over tank.
2. Adjust extension bracket over tank. Place probe assembly in tank and hold in ver-
tical position. Before attaching, move probe assembly in a circular pattern to
ensure nothing hampers float movement as mud level changes.
3. Place probe in clamp, then tighten clamp bolts.
4. Run cables and connect to Digital Gauge (I &II) as shown in Figure 3-36. or
Figure 3-37., dependent upon which probe will be used. Wrap cables along run for
neatness and reduce possibility of cable damage.
5. Recheck all electrical connections for security and ensure that installation does
not interfere with normal rig operations.
Digital Gauge (I & II) can be configured as a Flow Meter when installed with a M/D TOTCO flow
sensor (P/N 270701-103).
Certain preliminary checks and adjustments should be made prior to installing the sensor. It is
recommended that the following steps be taken:
1. Remove the mud flow sensor transmitter top cover. Disconnect and remove the
signal cable.
2. With sensor paddle in no-flow position, measure for 1.4K ohms to 1.5K ohms
across transmitter terminals 1 and 2.
3. Move paddle to "full-flow" position. Resistance should increase to approximately
4K ohms.
4. If resistance does not start at minimum reading with paddle in "no-flow" position,
or increase linearly when paddle is moved slowly to "full-flow" position, then per-
form entire procedure that follows this step. If resistance increases linearly, but
"no-flow" is out of tolerance, adjust electrical element as described in Steps 8 and
9. If correct resistance values cannot be obtained, check for faulty electrical and
mechanical components, including 5K ohm potentiometer, 1K ohm fixed resistor,
or some part of linkage assembly between paddle and potentiometer shaft.
5. Disconnect three wires connecting potentiometer to terminal strip.
6. Ensure that 1K ohm resistor is connected between terminals 2 and 4.
7. Using digital multi-meter, locate two potentiometer wires that read approximately
5K ohms across both. Move paddle from position "A" and "B". If correct wires are
selected, 5K ohm reading will remain constant.
8. Connect one wire located during Step 7 to terminal 1 of sensor terminal strip. Con-
nect other wire to terminal 3. Connect remaining wire to terminal 4. This wire is
from movable center arm of potentiometer.
9. Loosen bell crank set screw. With sensor paddle in position A, adjust potentiom-
eter shaft for reading of 2.5K ohms across terminals 1 and 2. Tighten set screw.
This sets potentiometer for an initial mid-range reading and determine if wires
connected to terminals 1 and 3 need reversing.
10. Connect digital resistance meter to terminal 1 and 2. When paddle is raised from
position "A" toward "B", meter reading should increase. If reading decreases,
position of wires connected to terminals 1 and 3 need to be reversed. If so, and
wires are reversed, repeat this step.
11. After completing above steps, flow sensor should be properly wired and adjusted.
Proceed to next paragraph for sensor and signal cable installation.
When connecting the Digital Gauge to a Flow Sensor assembly (P/N 270701-103), follow the
steps below.
Standard 221015-05XX *
Marine 221015-06XX *
* See Table 3-4 for cable length code.
Since the mud flow sensor is installed on the flow line with the paddle protruding into the mud flow,
a hole must be cut in the flow line and the sensor base must be welded to the flow line. If a base is
already mounted to the flow line form a previous rig-up, it can be used. If no base is mounted,
request a welder to install one. Locate mud flow sensor in a section with some downward slope
toward the shafer pit and where it can be accessed for service. After the base is welded to the mud
flow line, install the mud flow sensor as follows:
1. Adjust paddle to within 1/4 inch of bottom of flow line, but not touching when in
down position. Bolt mud sensor to base.
2. Run cables and connect mud flow channel as shown in Figure 3-39. Tie wrap
cables along run for neatness and to reduce possibility of cable damage.
3. Recheck all electrical and mechanical connections for security and ensure that
installation does not interfere with normal rig operations.

NOTE
Digital Gauge (I) does not contain alarm features. The alarm symbol will
be displayed momentarily after turning on the gauge, but is never active.
The Bar Graph Indicator is a multi-purpose analog indicator which can be used to view full range
of the sensor (zero to full scale) or a specific area within the full range. The lower limit of the range
is displayed above and left of the bar graph. The upper limit of the range is displayed above and
right of the bar graph. Because these values are limited to three digits, an incremental multiplier is
displayed to the right of the bar graph. If (X 100) is displayed, the lower and upper limits of the bar
graph should be multiplied by 100.
On Digital Gauge (II), the Alarm light (depicted as a bell) will illuminate when a programmed alarm
set-point has been reached or exceeded. The set-point may be either a low or high limit value. If a
High Alarm is activated, the bell symbol and the UP arrow will light. If a Low Alarm is activated, the
bell symbol will light, along with the DOWN arrow.
The Trend enunciator is represented as two symbols- an Up arrow or a Down arrow. If recent
sensor input has been increasing, the UP arrow will be displayed, if recent sensor input has been
declining, the DOWN arrow will be displayed.

4-2-1-2-2 Calibration of 0-5 Volt, 2 m/V Strain Gauge, and 4-20mA Sensors
Various sensors (0-5 Volt, 2m/V strain gauge, and 4-20mA) can be calibrated to the Digital
Gauge. Initially the operator must perform the FULL calibration procedure. After this calibra-
tion is complete, the operator may elect to modify (slightly) the calibration by selecting the
LOW calibration procedure or the HIGH calibration procedure.
The FULL calibration procedure requires input of both the minimum value applied to the sen-
sor and the maximum or near maximum value applied to the device. The LOW calibration pro-
cedure requires only the minimum load value be applied to the sensor, then entered. The
HIGH calibration procedure requires a maximum or near maximum applied load be applied to
the sensor, then input for calibration The various steps are detailed below.
NOTE
For additional information, refer to the following Quick Set-Up and
Calibration Procedures:
4-20mA Sensors................ P/N 221329-006 & 221329-007

Calculated channels are derived from software formulas (calculations) of single or dual inputs.
An example of a calculated single input channel is Total Strokes (Pump 1). Typically the Digital
Gauge would receive the signal from the pump stroke sensor and display pump strokes in Strokes
Per Minute. However, the calculated channel Total Strokes, through a mathematical formula, con-
verts this data to accumulated strokes.
An example of a calculated dual input channel is Ton Mile. The Digital Gauge receives two signals,
Hook Load and Wirerope Payout. Mathematically these two parameters are used to derive the
data for the channel Ton Mile. (Refer to section 4-4-1 for set-up instructions)

Digital Gauge (II) contains a Set Point feature which allows the operator to establish a center point
within a specified range, and monitor the delta (deviation) from that center point. For Example, an
operator may have a pressure application where the normal working pressure is 1000 PSI. The
operator wants to monitor 100 PSI of positive and negative deviation from this value. By following
the Set Point set-up procedure, the operator can create a screen which will display a Bar Graph
with a center point value of 1000 PSI with a negative deviation to 900 PSI and a positive deviation
to 1100 PSI.
Follow the below steps to set-up the Bar Graph or make modifications to current set-up:

The Digital Gauge (I & II) is capable of dampening (filtering) the input signal from the various sen-
sors. The degree of dampening is selected by the operator, and may be set from zero to 100 per-
cent dampened. This dampening action will allow the operator to smooth the input signal and allow
better view-ability of the displayed value.
NOTE
Un-dampened signals, which contain repetitive surges (spikes), will cause
the display digits to roll. As a result, the operator may experience difficulty
reading the display values.
Follow the below steps to adjust the dampener or make modifications to current set-up:
1. Perform all steps listed under section 4-5 Common Base Steps.
NOTE
The larger the Dampening value, the greater the Dampening effect. Zero
represents no dampening effect, while 100 represents the most dampened.
The Digital Gauge (II) is capable of capturing peak values for various ANALOG parameters.
If selected, the Digital Gauge will capture the highest value which has exceeded the preset high
alarm limit. This captured value will be displayed for 5 seconds, then revert to the current value. If
a higher value results, during the 5 second capture display, then the Digital Gauge will automati-
cally switch to the higher value and capture the peak. The gauge will continue to capture peaks,
until the value falls below the preset high alarm limit, or is deactivated.
Follow the below steps to turn ON/OFF the Peak hold feature:
NOTE
The Peak Hold Feature may only be used with ANALOG channels. If a
Digital Channel is selected, PEAK will not appear in the menu selection.

A battery pack is considered "Good" if both of the following tests are passed:
1. With a voltmeter measure the voltage between Pin A and Pin B on the battery
connector. Verify the open circuit voltage reading is 7.06V or greater at room tem-
perature. If it is good, continue to Step 2.
2. Place a 392 Ohm resistor (P/N 911440-258) between Pin A and Pin B on the bat-
tery connector. (This creates a 15mA load on the battery.) Verify the loaded volt-
age reading of 5.60V - 6.10V at room temperature.
Digital Gauge (I & II) both have four male connector pins located on the backside of the case. If a
battery is attached, the power connector is not exposed. The four connectors are as follows:

Place the pad surface of the suction grip tool (P/N 9999784-001) to the face of the CPU Board
(220948-001/002) of the Digital Gauge (I & II). Push plunger in fully, using rapid motion. Then let
plunger spring back out. See Figure C-4. Repeat sequence until plunger stays in and red line is no
longer visible. The unit is now attached with maximum holding power (maximum grip).
Slowly pull upward (vertically) with the handle of the suction tool, while gently rocking the tool. This
action will unplug the Keypad Assembly from the Interface Board. To release the Keypad from the
suction tool, lift the tab near the edge of the pad.
NOTE
Reappearance of the red line indicates air has leaked back into the system
and the unit is losing its grip. Operating the plunger once or twice will restore
maximum grip.

D-1 Overview
This section of the manual is intended to navigate the operator through the various menu levels
associated with Digital Gauge II. The menu trees represent flow charts and move in an orderly pro-
gression from point A to point Z, denoting all of the steps along the path. Symbols, such as the
ACK button, are used to represent required actions by the operator. Alpha codes in black boxes
denote display messages which result from operator action.
The menu trees found in Appendix D utilize symbols to denote various actions or results from
actions. In Table D-1, the various symbols are defined.
The ACK symbol acts as an enter key. By pressing the ACK key,
numeric values are acknowledged or the device is instructed to pro-
ceed forward.
