`
`The smaller hole provides mechanical support to prevent the internal
`switch components from being blown out when the upper gun is
`fired. Having the ground wire on the retainer nut is a personal choice
`depending on whether the electronic grounding will be made above or
`below the tandem adapter. The copper rivet on the EBRN-WG retainer
`nut grounds the EBTW-WG.

`ControlFire® Switch Overview
`
` support.titan@hunting-intl.com
`
`The ControlFire switch circuit consists of 3 primary components.
`
`Intelligent Micro Processor Controls the switch position and
`communicates state
` - Transmitter
` - Receiver
`
`
`
`
`Detonator Switch remains in open state until Enable Fire command
`is received to connect to the detonator/igniter
`
`Wireline Switch remains in open state until communication is
`establish and command is received to close
`
`Every gun/plug in a tool string must be equipped with a ControlFire perforating
`Switch. Each switch can be verified, armed, selectively fired or skipped upon
`command from the surface. An RF-Safe ControlFire assembly is also available.

`EBTW & EBTW-WG Installation Guidelines
`
` support.titan@hunting-intl.com
`
`Care and attention in loading and assembly will ensure good performance. The following points are guidelines that will assist in safe and efficient perforating operations:
`
`Explosive safety.
`Always use an approved explosive safety meter for
`electrical checks on the EBTW & EBTW-WG and
`Detonator. Detonators and igniters should only be
`installed once the gunstring has been assembled
`and all EBTW or EBTW-WG are correctly installed.
`Use the VeriFire panel to check ControlFire switches.
`
`Switch grounding.
`Switches should always be grounded to the mass
`of the gun body, specifically the adapters. This is
`the only way to ensure that a continuous ground is
`maintained throughout the entire gunstring with a
`certain connection to the armor on the wireline cable.
`Charge tubes are not a reliable ground.
`
`Correct retainer nuts.
`The correct retainer nut must be used.
`
`Use direct current.
`All detonators must be fired using direct current (DC).
`
`Wire color coding.
`EBTW & EBTW-WG are feed through pressure
`bulkheads, not switches. The black/blue striped
`wire of the EBTW-WG is ground and should be
`connected to the black wire of the ControlFire
`switch. The green/blue/white striped wire of the
`EBTW & EBTW-WG is the thru-wire and should be
`connected to the blue wire of the ControlFire switch
`for guns, and to the green wire of the ControlFire
`
`switch for plugs. Detonator wires are connected
`to the red (+) and green (-) wires of the ControlFire
`switch. The green wire, (-) polarity, is the live wire
`and must be connected to the (-) detonator wire if
`polarity sensitive. The green/blue/white stripes on
`EBTW & EBTW-WG help differentiate them from dual
`diode and pressure switches.
`
`Chasing threads.
`When chasing EB gland threads, it is recommended
`to place a used switch in the bore such that the
`O-ring sealing surface cannot be accidentally
`damaged. 7/8”-12 chaser taps need to be used.

`2. The bore should be clean*. Lightly coat the EBTW thru-wire body (4) and O-rings with grease. Straighten out the wires and feed them
`through the EB switch tandem sub (1). Making sure there is no slack in the wires, slide the thru-wire with ground (4) into the bore up to

`
` 2. Using a 5/16” torque nut driver, tighten contact nut (3924-000-006) to contact 5. First install the retainer nut (5) using 36 ft lb (49 Nm) torque for dry assembly*. The copper rivet on the EBRN-WG retainer nut grounds the thru-wire EBTW-WG. After
`rod with 12-16 in lb torque. Take the insulating tubing (3924-000-4TI) and installing the retainer nut, cut the wire from the retainer nut and make sure the copper rivet does not extend past the face of the retainer nut. The wire is not used in this
`
`
`slide over the contact rod. Tubing will need to be cut to length so that only the configuration. Make sure the O-ring grooves are clean, then install the four O-rings (OR1).
`rounded tip of the contact rod is exposed.
`The nut shown here is required with the ‘EBTW-WG’. Always use the correct retainer nut.

`6. Using the allen wrench, ground the bus wire (8) with the socket head cap screw (3). Leave enough wire in the sub to extend beyond the port
`approximately 1” to 1-1/2” (25 to 38 mm). At this time, the upper perforating gun should be loaded and include the through wire / shooting
`line (9,10) for wireline select fire applications. If needed, the perforating gun loading is covered in a separate manual†.
`
`While being careful not to pinch wires, feed the detonating cord and shooting line (10-11) from the upper gun,
`the grounded bus wire, and the EBTW-WG wires
`through the tandem sub and out the port.
`
`The detonating cord and shooting line length
`should extend beyond the port approximately
`1” to 1-1/2” (25 to 38 mm).

`9. Place ½” (13 mm) or longer of white silicone tubing (7) on the wire before attaching to the EBTW downhole pin. Strip ¾” (19 mm) insulation off the wire. Start with wire at
`90° to the downhole pin. Place bare wire in the groove at end of pin, with the end of the insulation touching the pin.
`
`Note: This bare wire should not touch the stub from the
`previously cut ground wire on the retainer nut.

`9a. Wrap bare wire around groove in pin one full turn, crossing standing end (the long body) of wire away from the EBTW body (downhole side). Rotate wire 90° such that
`the long insulated body of the wire is pointing straight downhole and the short bare wire is lying along the length of the pin, pointing at the EBTW body. The bare wire
`should not be long enough to reach the EBTW body or the retainer nut and cause a short circuit.

`very reliable. Pulled to breaking, the wire typically breaks below the tie point.

`Repeat steps ‘Arming 1-7’ to arm the remaining tandem subs and guns as needed. The bottom gun wiring steps ‘Arming 4-5’ are dependent on application.
`
`•
`
`For non plug shoot applications, the bottom gun RF-Safe ControlFire switch will need to be wired as follows: The white wire should connect to the shooting line
`from the upper gun. The black wire should connect to ground. !The blue wire should be cut and insulated so that it does not make contact with the sub body.
`
`•
`
`For plug shoot applications, two ControlFire switches are required. One for the bottom gun and one for the igniter to the setting tool. Add an arming sub (12)
`between the bottom gun and the tandem sub to provide needed additional room - illustrated below. Refer to ‘PSA Arming 4-5’ on the following pages.
`
`Note: Check the tool string after gun loading, after gun arming and before
`running in hole using the VeriFire® panel (PN: 9002-013-210).
