QUICK USER GUIDE
7. Transferring Orientation to the Core
7.1. Before removing the ACT III RD controller the bottom of hole orientation should be transferred to
the core using either the UNDER (Fig. 18) or OVER (Fig. 20) method.
N.B. The best method to use is determined by the tube racks. If the racks are shorter than the inner tube
then the UNDER method can be used. If the racks are longer than the inner tube then the OVER method
may be more practical.
Under Method:
i. Ensure that bottom of hole orientation is indicated on the ACT III RD Controller (Fig. 17)
ii. Place the ACT III RD Marking Jig under the core lifter case (Fig. 18)
iii. Level the marking jig by using the levelling bubble (Fig. 19)
iv. Mark the bottom of the core (Fig. 18).
N.B. If the core is inside the lifter case the marking jig can be tilted or the lifter case marked and then the
orientation transferred to the core using a straight edge.
7.2. If there is not suf cient overhang of the core lifter case then the OVER method should be used to
mark bottom of hole orientation.
Over Method:
i. Ensure that bottom of hole orientation is indicated on the ACT III RD Controller (Fig. 17)
ii. Place the ACT III RD Marking Jig on top of the core lifter case (Fig. 20)
iii. Level the marking jig by using the spirit level (Fig. 19)
iv. Select the core grade, e.g... NQ*, and extend the ‘marking blade’ down to the bottom of the
lifter case (Fig. 20)
v. Using the marking blade as a guide mark the bottom of the core.
