GV500 Series Winch main features

The GV500 series winch comprises these main parts:

Drive train-motor & gearbox.

Cable spooling device.

Level-wind clutch mechanism

Measure head with integral cable tension measuring device and depth encoder.

Slip-ring connection to the logging cable.

Motor speed control & over-tension cut-out.

Signal wiring

These will be discussed individually in the following sections.

Drive Train

This comprises a DC motor and 80:1 reduction bevel drive gear box.
(Safety Note: the motor is DC but requires a 240 VAC supply for correct operation. Do not
attempt to supply the winch with a DC supply. The speed controller generates the DC voltage
required.)

The gearbox is directly mounted onto the shaft of the cable drum; using no intermediate gears,
drive belts or chains. This gives a steadier drive and increased reliability. The bevel drive is
non-reversible, so that no other braking device in the winch is required. The cable tension will
not turn the drive train when the motor is stopped.

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 4 Of 17

The bevel gearbox is oil filled for life and should require no attention in the field. The motor
has brushes that bear on the commentator. The motor manufacturer recommends that the
brushes be changed after 3,000 hours operation at 75% of rated load. In this application the
load is usually much less than 75%, but the operator can use these figures to make an estimate
of when to fit new brushes.

One of the brushes is easily accessed while the other brush requires removing the motor from
the gearbox flange. This requires the removal of the 4 bolts. It is recommended that the
condition of the easily accessed brush be inspected.

An option available is the installation of a clutch device. This allows the user to disengage the
coupling between the cable drum shaft and the gearbox drive shaft. To activate the clutch,
locate the steel knob on the outside of the gearbox. Pull this out approximately 10mm and
insert the supplied spacer to hold the knob in this position.

Note that now the drum is free to rotate and no braking is available. To re-establish the drive,
first ensure that the drum is not turning. Now remove the spacer and allow the steel knob to
engage. Rotate the drum until the clutch pins are heard to engage and the steel knob is fully
home.

Safety Note: Never disengage the clutch when there is tension on the cable. The drum will
rotate rapidly and represent a safety hazard. Re-engaging the clutch under these circumstances
could cause damage to the winch.

Motor & Gearbox Orientation (GV510/530 models only)

One of the attractive features of the GV510 and GV530 models is that the motor can be placed
into one of two different positions, depending on the space available in the vehicle where it is
mounted.

Also, the motor is mounted high & externally to the main winch body. This allows the winch
to be pushed over the wheel arch of the vehicle, permitting better use of the space available.

To move the position of the motor requires these steps to be followed:

1. Locate the 4 screws retaining the motor to the motor foot plate and remove them. The motor
weight can safely be supported on the gearbox as long as no extra weight or shock is applied
when in this position.
2. Locate the 8 screws holding the flange onto the winch side plate and remove them.
3. Rotate the motor out of the way so that the base plate can be removed from the side of the
winch. Locate this base plate into the required position and replace the screws.
4. Rotate the motor to the required location and replace the screws in the flange and the base
plate.

Cable Spooling device.

It is important that the cable be spooled neatly to avoid damaging the cable. If the cable
crosses itself, then the tension can cause internal damage to the cable. The GV500 winch has a
lead screw arrangement that is driven from the main cable drum shaft via a chain. The

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 5 Of 17

spooling device is mounted on a carriage that traverses backwards and forwards with the cable
movement.

If the cable becomes out of synchronisation with the spooling device, then this is corrected by
use of the special tool supplied with the winch. This is a -‘T-handled’ tool.

Inserting the cable spooling adjustment tool

To apply the tool, first stop the winch drive. Firmly push the tool into the hole on the end of
the spooling device, pressing to engage the tool with the castellated section and simultaneously
disengage the drive. Then the tool can be turned to rotate the lead screw independently of the
cable drum. When alignment is reached remove the tool. As the drum is then turned the drive
will re-engage with a click and spooling should continue correctly.

Note that it is possible to set the lead screw such that the spooling head moves in the wrong
direction. The consequence of this is that as the cable leaves the drum from, for example, left to
right, the head will move from right to left. To correct this situation, continue rotating the lead
screw tool until the spooling head reaches the end of the travel and returns in the reverse
direction. Now align the cable exit point and the measure head. Rotate the cable drum to
ensure that the direction of travel is now correct.

Caution: If the winch is operated with the direction of travel incorrect, then damage to both the
cable and the winch can occur.

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 6 Of 17

Keep the lead screw and guide bars clean and lightly greased. Make sure that the measure
wheel is free of dirt. Clean the grooves in the wheels regularly or incorrect depth measurements
will occur.

N.B. Never let the drum unwind fully. The base layer of cable should remain on the drum as
the friction helps the security of the cable to the drum. If it is necessary to reach greater depths,
at least half of the base layer of cable must remain on the drum.

Level-wind Clutch Mechanism

A mechanical torque-limiting mechanism is fitted between the motor and the level-wind
sprocket. It can be accessed from the outside of one of the winch side plates. It can be seen as
the black cylinder in the photograph below.

GV500 Level-wind Clutch Mechanism

Measure head with integral cable tension measuring device and depth encoder.

The sonde depth is measured by passing the cable over a measure wheel coupled to shaft
encoder. Two jockey wheels are used so that the measure wheel does not slip as the cable
moves. If it is required to remove the cable from the measure head, then these two jockey
wheels must be moved.

Safety Note: Do not attempt to remove the measure head jockey wheels when the cable is in
the hole or the mains power is attached to the winch. Always disconnect the mains power
before working on the winch.

To remove the jockey wheels, remove the circlips on the shaft (one on each shaft) and slide out
the shaft. Note that there are two spacers with each wheel, which must be replaced after the
operation.

The cable tension measuring device is a load beam mounted below the measure wheel bearing.
A pin is located below the measure wheel bearing and bears down onto the load cell to transmit
the load as required. Ensure that this is free to move and is not stuck with grit or mud. There
are no user serviceable parts inside the load cell and it should not be dismantled.

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 7 Of 17

The measure wheel should be free to rock side to side on its bearing. Only a small amount of
movement is required, but there must be some or else there will be a preload on the loadcell,
which may damage it.

The shaft encoder is mounted on the measure wheel spindle underneath a black cover. There
are three retaining screws around the periphery of this cover. Remove these to gain access.
There is a fourth special screw on the top of the cover, which is a torque reaction screw that
prevents the shaft encoder from rotating. This engages with a tang on the side of the shaft
encoder and must be correctly seated or depth errors will occur.

Maintenance

The only maintenance required is washing down to prevent the build-up of mud on the moving
parts. All the bearings are sealed and greased for life. Ensure that the jockey wheel spindles
are free to move. After washing down, allow the parts to dry in free air before storage.
Application of a water repellent spray (e.g. WD-40) is a good idea to keep everything working
well.

GV570 Gear box

The gear box for the GV570 winch requires an oil change after 300 hours of operation. It is
recommended to flush the gear unit and clean internal components with a suitable detergent.
Replace the oil with fresh lubricant. Refer to level gauge for the appropriate oil quantity. Check
oil level regularly at intervals or when necessary. Note that gear boxes on all other winches
require no periodical oil change.

Shaft Encoder

The shaft encoder normally installed is the Lika Electronics CK46-H-1000-B-C-U-4-6-P-

L4/S644. The important characteristics of this encoder are:

Series CK46
Output driver PP/LD universal circuit
Pulses per revolution 1,000
Power supply 5-30VDC
Shaft diameter 6mm
Measure Wheel Circumference 0.4m

The colour code for the wires is:

Yellow Phase A
Green Phase B
Red Positive supply
Black Ground supply

This range of encoder offers a wide range of pulses per revolution. Special encoders can be
supplied on request.

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 8 Of 17

Motor speed control & over-tension cut-out.

There are two control boxes related to the winch; the speed controller and the safety switch
unit.

The safety switch is a red “mushroom” type which, when pressed, will disconnect all power to
the winch motor and electronics. It is mounted in a prominent position so that it can be
operated quickly in the event of an emergency. In normal operation, the cap needs to be
rotated until it pops up. At this point, mains power is applied to the speed controller.

Also mounted on the safety switch unit is a pair of fuses. These are 20mm types rated at 10
Amperes 250VAC. Both the “Live” and “Neutral” are fused.

The schematic for this unit is attached to this manual.

The GV510 and GV530 are available with either a variac or a KB electronic controller. Both
control boxes are operated in a similar way. They can be identified by their outward
appearance, if servicing or spare parts are required. GV550 and GV570 winches are supplied
only with a KB-type controller.

Variac-type Winch Control

KB Electronic-type Winch Control

The speed controller has a large top mounted rotary control for motor control and a motor
direction switch. To apply power to the motor, assuming that 240VAC is applied and the
safety switch is in the up position, requires two actions. Firstly select up or down direction as

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 9 Of 17

appropriate with the toggle switch. At this point no power will be applied to the motor,
independent of the position of the speed knob. The user must then rotate the knob fully counter
clockwise, to the minimum position. At this point the interlock will be energised and rotating
the knob in a clockwise direction will apply an increasing voltage to the motor.

A bargraph display with a small knob for the tension control is mounted on the sloping panel of
the winch speed controller. The motor current is monitored and displayed on the bargraph
during logging. The motor current is proportional to the motor torque and is a good indication
of cable tension.

The lower 7 segments are green coloured and the top 3 are red. As the tension increases then
more segments will light up. When all 3 red segments are lit up, then any increase in motor
current will cause the power to the motor to be interrupted and the motor will stop turning. The
braking effect of the bevel gearbox will prevent the cable from being pulled downhole.

At this point, if the over tension condition is released then no power will be applied to the
motor. The user must rotate the speed control knob back to the minimum position then rotate
clockwise again to apply power. This safety feature prevents unexpected motion, which may
injure personnel.

Similarly when the safety switch is lifted, no power will be applied to the motor until the speed
controller is returned to the minimum position.

Tips On Using The Over Tension Cut Out

Note that the Over Tension Cut Out only operates in the UP Hole direction, on the KB
Electronic-type winch control.

The purpose of this is to prevent excessive pull on the cable, ensuring equipment damage does
not occur. The knob labelled “Set Torque” is a sensitivity control for the bargraph display.
Rotating the clockwise decreases the sensitivity and will, with a constant motor load, reduce
the number of bargraph segments that are illuminated.

For best operation, follow these simple procedures:

1 When at the bottom of the hole about to start pulling up, turn the “Set Torque” control fully
clockwise and turn the “Speed” knob clockwise until the correct logging speed is reached.
2 When the speed has stabilised as required, observe the bar-graph display. There should be
a few green segments illuminated. Now rotate anticlockwise the “Set Torque” control and
more segments will be illuminated. Continue anticlockwise rotation until the first red
segment becomes illuminated. Now rotate clockwise a small amount until the first red
segment goes out and just 7 green segments are illuminated. Leave the “Set Torque”
control in this position.
3 In the event that the cable pull increases, the red segments will illuminate. If the over-pull
is sufficient, then all 3 red segments will illuminate and the cut-out will activate. The
winch will stop pulling and motor current will be removed. The winch is in a safe
condition. To reactivate the winch, the “Speed” control must be reduced to minimum then
rotated clockwise again to apply power to the motor.
4 While logging up, under normal conditions, the number of green segments illuminated will
decrease as the weight of the cable is spooled in. Occasionally rotate the “Set Torque”
GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 10 Of 17
 control anticlockwise until all 7 green segments are illuminated to maintain protection
against unexpected over-pulls.

GV500 Speed Controller - Circuit Description.

Refer to the attached circuits.

Circuit “GV500 Safety Interlock”.

This is the unit that gives the user the emergency stop switch and is an important safety feature.
By rotating the red knob in the direction indicated by the arrows, the knob will pop up and
close its contacts. This will allow power to be applied to the speed controller.

There are two fuses installed, each having a 10 amperes rating. In the event that either of these
“blows”, then investigate the reason before simply putting a new fuse in. Under normal
operation, these should not blow. Always use a fuse of similar rating.

If this box is disassembled for any reason, then do ensure that the “Earth” connections are
remade correctly. Safety Note: If the winch is not properly earthed then a potentially lethal
safety hazard exists.

Winch Variac Circuit (only available on GV510/530)

This is the speed controller section and interlock mechanism. 240VAC supply is applied to the
input “terminal J1” connector. The mains current is supplied from the “GV510 safety
Interlock” unit as described above. Never connect mains directly to the input of the variac
circuit as no fuse protection or emergency switch will be available.

Mounted on the variac control is a micro-switch labelled SW1 on the diagram. When the
variac is at the minimum position, this micro-switch will close. In this position, Relay 1 coil
connection #0 will be connected to the Line input via switch SW2, the “Up Stop Down”
switch, if SW2 is in any position other than “Off”.

Assuming that terminals A and N on the board GV5_2 (See next section) are shorted, Relay 1
will then operate, shorting out the micro-switch with the contact pair #4 and #2 on the Relay 1.
This will latch Relay 1 as long as terminals A and N on the board GV5_2 are shorted. With
Relay 1 operated, the Line voltage will be applied to the variac terminal K.

Rotating the variac clockwise will increase the voltage on variac terminal T. This voltage is
applied to the bridge rectifier BR1.

The direction of rotation of the motor is dependent on the polarity of the voltage applied. This
is controlled by Relay 2. Activating the coil will reverse the polarity applied to the motor. The
position of the relay is controlled directly by the “Up Down Off” switch.

Increasing the Variac output voltage will increase the voltage applied to the motor, resulting in
speed control as required.

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 11 Of 17

The current drawn by the motor is measured by the current transformer mounted on the
underside of PCB GV5_2. The wire from the variac passes through the centre of the current
transformer to form the primary. The resulting voltage is developed across a resistor on the
GV5_2 board and amplified to drive the bar-graph display.

Regenerative Drive (KB models only)

The GV500 Winch uses a full-wave regenerative control from Penta KB Power, part number
KBRG-240D. The control unit provides excellent control and will provide reverse torque to
maintain the set speed when the applied load is in the same direction as the motor rotation.

If this box is disassembled for any reason, then do ensure that the “Earth” connections are
remade correctly.

Safety Note: If the winch is not properly earthed then a potentially lethal safety hazard exists.

Winch Torque Display & Limit

This is the board mounted inside the speed controller box and provides the bargraph display
and the over-tension cut-out function.

Models with Variac control-

Transformer T1 takes the mains input and generates a stabilised +/-6VDC via regulators U3 &
U4.

The current transformer T2 input signal is shown, with the signal being taken off the Yellow &
Purple wires. This will be a 50/60Hz sine wave signal and it is rectified amplified by amplifier
U5B. Amplifier U5C, with diodes D2-D4, forms a peak detect circuit. This peak value is then
held on capacitor C1, which has a drain current via R1. This gives the circuit a low frequency
response, suitable for the application in hand.

The reference Rhi (pin 6 of U1) is generated from the potentiometer VR1, labelled “Set
Torque” on the front panel, giving the sensitivity control. The measure signal is applied to SIG
(U1 pin 5). The signal on Rhi is the full-scale sensitivity of the bar-graph driver U1 and the
level control signal is on SIG. The number of bars illuminated on the bar graph is a function of
the percentage of Rhi that SIG achieves.

The bar #10 is dealt with differently. In the event that the bar-graph driver tries to illuminate
this bar, then the low voltage that appears on LED10 (U1 pin 10) will cause the comparator U6
to detect this and operate the relay Rly1. This will disconnect the terminal A from the N
(neutral) line and cause Relay1 on the main chassis to drop out and power to be removed from
the winch.

In the event that there are problems with this circuit, it can be easily disabled by shorting
terminals A and N on the terminal block. In this way, the winch can be used but without and
overload protection.

Models with KB winch control-

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 12 Of 17

The winch motor current is sampled using a 0.1R 50W. This is then rectified and smoothed to
give a DC level ‘signal’. This DC signal is then applied to the input of the bargraph generator
U5 pin SIG. This signal is compared with the reference applied to U5 on pin Rhi. The fraction
of Rhi that the signal on SIG represents is reflected in the number of bargraph U6 segments
illuminated.

The reference Rhi is generated from the potentiometer VR1, “Set Torque” on the front panel,
giving the sensitivity control.

When the top Red LED segment is turn ON the output of the board will be switched off
stopping any rotation of the winch. Note that the winch Torque limit only works in the up-hole
direction.

Opening The Speed Controller (Variac model).

The speed controller is usually supplied wired to the winch with suitable cable lengths. If it is
required to lengthen or shorten the cables supplied, the correct method is to change the cable
length. Splices are not acceptable and will eventually lead to problems and always represent a
safety hazard. To change the wires requires opening the speed controller box.

Safety note: Ensure that no power is applied to the speed controller and that power is not
inadvertently applied while working on the unit.

First, remove the knob on the motor speed control. This requires loosening the screws (2 of)
located in the periphery of the knob. The knob can then be pulled off.

Loosen the 4 screws, one in each corner, of the front panel. The top can then be lifted off.
There are sufficient wire lengths on the other front panel controls to allow the top to be
removed and put to one side while working inside the box.

Observe the main components, as identified by the drawing GA_1 attached to this manual.
Usually, the terminals of interest will be those to the mains power input and the motor, J1 and
J2 respectively. Both these are accessible after the PCB is removed. This is achieved by
removing the 6 M3 screws, 3 along each edge of the PCB. Again, the wires are sufficiently to
allow putting this board to one side while working inside.

Both J1 and J2 have screw fastenings, so changing the wire is quite easy. Always use similar
wire to that supplied. Lengths are available from GeoVista if required.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Note that there is a bush around the shaft of the
variac. This is for lateral support for the variac. It is permissible, on assembly, to slacken the
screws retaining this bush and retighten when the top panel is firmly fastened. This allows for
minor misalignment to be taken out of the system.

Installation

Successful installation into a vehicle varies and depends on the vehicle being used. Some
pointers to a successful installation are as follows;

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 13 Of 17

The use of a mounting frame is required and a drawing of a suitable mounting frame is attached
to this manual. Usually this mounting frame-plate is manufactured locally, with modifications
to suit the vehicle platform. The bodies of vehicles are usually a stressed member and will flex
when driven over uneven surfaces. Without this mounting frame the structural alignment of
the winch can be distorted and damage can occur when the winch is operated.

Ensure that you are not overloading the vehicle chosen. Refer to the manufacturer’s
information.

For models GV510/530 –

The externally mounted motor allows the winch to be pushed to one side of the vehicle, as the
motor can be situated over the wheel arch of the vehicle, thus giving better use of the space
available.

Try to keep the main weight (which is the cable) over the axle or inside the wheel base of the
vehicle. Avoid lifting the winch too high, as this will have a negative impact on the stability of
the vehicle when drive.

Refer to the wiring diagram attached. Perform a neat and well thought out positioning of the
cables. Do not splice cables, as this is unreliable and dangerous. Do not place cables where
they are prone to damage. Use conduit as much as possible.

Remote Control

With one-man operation, it is often convenient to be able to turn the winch when getting the
sondes in and out of the hole. A connector on the side of the speed controller box is provided
for connection to a pendant. This is a handheld switch box with an “UP” and “DOWN” switch.

Operation is as follows.

1 First, put the UP\DOWN switch on the speed controller on to the OFF position (centre).
2 Connect the pendant to the connector provided.
3 Rotate the speed controller a small way of the stop position.
4 Pressing either of the two buttons on the pendant will now provide up or down motion as
required.

Models with Variac control-

Note that the motor current trip is not active in this mode of operation. The bargraph will
operate, but will not cause the motor to trip out under these conditions. In this mode of
operation, there is no “soft start” of the motor so only a small clockwise rotation of the variac
should be selected. Experimentation will give a reasonable position of the control know to use
when in this mode of operation.

Models with KB winch control-

Optional wireless remote control is available for these models. The current trip is active with
this controller.

GeoVista GV500 Winch Operations Manual Page 14 Of 17

Slip Ring Assembly

The Slip Ring Assembly is designed so that it can be removed from the winch through the side
wall even when the drum is full of cable (provided the drum is adequately supported) When
fitting the cable into the cable clamp it is therefore useful to leave enough cable free in the
drum so that the slip ring assembly can be removed.

Once the cable is secured in the cable clamp and the end prepared for the slip ring connections
the drum can be re-assembled.

Self-amalgamating tape can be used around the slip ring contacts to protect them from
moisture.
