Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 1. Equipment

1 EQUIPMENT

The Addressable Downhole Switch (ADS) tool is an electro-mechanical

down-hole switch mechanism, which allows an operator to electrically isolate
and re-connect the lower head on command from the surface. The tool is only
active when the voltage at its upper head is between certain negative dc voltage
limits. Outside of these limits, the tool electronics go into a high impedance
state. The switch mechanism itself is mechanical and will remain in the same
state when the electronics are in the high impedance state. When activated by
the surface control panel (ADSP), the tool provides a constant indication of its
current status.

1.1 PURPOSE
The ADS tool is intended for use between well tractors and payloads or similar
scenarios where the payload tools may be sensitive to the tractor supply
voltages. In use, the tool allows the operator to electrically connect or
disconnect the payload below it on command from a surface control panel
(ADSP). Furthermore, the control panel can enable/connect or disable/
disconnect other surface equipment, depending on the state of the ADS tool.

A typical scenario would be the placement of the ADS tool below a well tractor
and above a perforating gun. While tractoring, the ADS would be in the 'OPEN/
SAFE' condition. Once the correct depth is reached, the ADS would be set to
the 'CLOSED/FIRE' state to allow the guns to be operated. While the ADS is in
the 'OPEN' state, the tractor supply would be enabled and the shooting supply
disabled, when in the 'CLOSED' state the opposite would apply.

1.2 APPLICATIONS
• Perforating while Tractoring.
• Use of tools with widely differing operating voltages within a
toolstring.

Chapter 2. Safety

2 SAFETY

The Safety section in this manual does not replace any safety measures,
described in tool specific manuals. It only covers safety issues related to the
Warning! ADS tool and ADS Panel. Note that the Tractor has very strict safety meas-
ures, which should be adhered to at all times.

2.1 PERSONAL SAFETY

HOT WORK! Sondex equipment may, under certain circumstances or failure

modes, become a potential source of ignition. Using it must therefore be
Warning! considered "HOT WORK" and appropriate precautionary procedures should
be followed when testing at surface in areas where there is a risk of gas leaks
or other potentially explosive atmospheres.

Liquid O-ring

LOR101 is used for lubricating the tool during maintenance. Contact with skin or eyes can be
harmful. For more details, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for Liquid O-ring.

Warning! LETHAL VOLTAGES!

The equipment should be powered up by trained personnel only.

Do not leave the equipment unattended when it is powered up.

Do not work alone when using high voltage equipment. Have someone else in the area who knows
how to turn off the power.

If it is necessary to have the electronics exposed when the tool is powered up, take proper
precautions to reduce the risk of shock.

Do not open the ADS Panel without first disconnecting the main power supply.

2.2 OPERATIONAL SAFETY

The ADS should never be connected directly to the panel. A logging cable or Dummy Logging Cable
(DLC) should always be used. While the tool or panel will not be damaged if connected directly,
correct operation cannot be guaranteed.

Great care should be taken to correctly connect the system to other tools and surface equipment.
Tractor and shooting power will be present within the panel and all necessary safety precautions
associated with these systems should be observed.

The ADS/ADSP system should not be used as a means of bypassing normal safety procedures
under any circumstances. The instructions in this manual assume that the system has been
correctly connected up to the other tools and surface equipment and all parts are working correctly,
also that the operator is fully conversant with all operational and safety requirements associated with
these tools.

 ADS/ADSP
Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 2. Safety
The operator should be aware of the functionality of the tool in context with the remainder of the con-
nected equipment and these instructions should be used in conjunction with instructions and proce-
dures for that equipment. It may therefore be necessary to carry out operations on other equipment
during or between the steps described below. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure this is
carried out safely.

Electro Static Discharge (ESD)

Caution! All tools with electronic boards that contain solid state circuits (transistors,
diodes, semiconductors) may become damaged when contacted with an
electrostatic charge.

When handling tools, which contain electronic parts that are ESD sensitive, the following guidelines
should be followed to reduce any possible electrostatic charge build-up on the user’s body and the
electronic parts:

• Always ensure proper ESD precautions are taken when handling electronic parts that
are ESD sensitive during maintenance.
• Avoid touching the tool electronics, unless stated otherwise in this manual.

Note that ESD is less likely to affect tools when the housing is fitted.

Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 3. Theory of Operation

3.2 DESCRIPTION
3.2.1 MECHANICAL

The switch element consists of a sliding block, carrying two pins that mate with sockets in a fixed
block thus creating a 2 pole connector. The sliding block is actuated by a leadscrew, driven by a dc
gearmotor. The blocks are arranged such that when fully apart (switch element is fully open), the
pins are approximately 5-6 mm away from the sockets thus minimising the possibility of arcing even
if one contact is at extremely high potential. A third pin on the sliding block engages in a hole in the
tool chassis when in the fully open position, thus providing an earth path for lower head connection
when in this state.

The chassis consists of an aluminium fabrication, which is trapped between wave springs when
installed in the pressure housing. This allows a small amount of longitudinal movement to provide a
degree of shock absorbtion during perforating or similar operations in which the tool will experience
significant longitudinal percussive shocks. Lateral movement of the chassis within the housing is
controlled by O-rings fitted to the chassis, such as to be under slight compression when installed.
Furthermore these O-rings provide longitudinal damping, such as to prevent the chassis from
moving excessively against the wave springs. The wave springs also provide a reliable earth contact
between chassis and housing.

3.2.2 ELECTRICAL

The ADS tool is powered by a negative voltage between 0 and -90Vdc. Outside of this voltage
range, the tool goes to a high impedance state and presents no appreciable load or impedance to
the line. The tool will draw current at low voltages, but needs at least -35Vdc to work correctly. At
lower voltages the motor may have insufficient power.

When powered, the tool constantly scans the position of the moveable switch element and indicates
this at the surface panel. The position is detected by an array of Hall effect sensors actuated by
magnets, mounted in the sliding block. In normal operation there is no point where the position of
the sliding block is not known.

The process to change the state of the switch requires a precise pattern of commands between tool
and surface panel with confirmations from the engineer. If at any time a bad or missing command is
detected, the tool is shut down and the panel reports the fault.

When the switch element is in the closed position the upper and lower heads are connected via the
passenger protection circuit. This prevents voltages between 0 and -100Vdc from reaching the lower
head under any circumstances. In the open position, the upper and lower heads are disconnected
and, since the passenger protection circuit is connected between the sliding pins, it is completely out
of the circuit. Also, a third pin provides a ground path through a resistor for the lower head.

The status of the tool and the surface system is reported on an LCD on the ADSP. Operation of the
system is accomplished with two push buttons and a single selector switch. The surface system is
powered from 110V or 230VAC, 50-60Hz, selected by a switch on the rear panel.

The panel includes the line power supply, needed to operate the tool, and relays, capable of
switching the tractor and shooting voltages onto the line. The relays are interlocked, such as to
prevent more than one system ever being connected to the line. The tractor power relay has further
protection to prevent the contacts becoming welded in the event that the relay changes state while
the tractor is taking power.

Chapter 4. Operating Procedure

4 OPERATING PROCEDURE

4.1 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

4.1.1 MECHANICAL

1 Remove the pressure housing and inspect the switch mechanism, taking particular care to
ensure:

• The contact pins in the sliding block are secure.

• The wiring around the switch mechanism is secured and free from signs of chafing or
damage.
• No signs of mechanical damage as a result of extreme shock exist.

Note: If either the wave springs at either end of the chassis or the O-rings around the chassis are
obviously damaged, they should be replaced.

2 Clean and grease the upper and lower O-rings. If any O-rings show signs of damage they
should be replaced.

3 Ensure that the electrical connectors at either end are clean and secure.

4.1.2 ELECTRICAL

4.1.2.1 Addressable Downhole Switch Tool

Using a suitable meter, test the resistance between the upper and lower connections and tool
housing and ensure they are as follows:

Tool in OPEN/SAFE position:

Upper Connector - Lower Connector:

• +ve probe to Upper Connector 12-18MΩ.

• -ve probe to Upper Connector 2MΩ.

Upper Connector - Housing:

• +ve probe to Upper Connector 12-18MΩ.

• -ve probe to Upper Connector 2MΩ.

Lower Connector - Housing:100Ω. (resistor to chassis)

Tool in CLOSED/FIRE position:

Upper Connector - Lower Connector:

• +ve probe to Upper Connector 1.7MΩ. (series diode)

• -ve probe to Upper Connector >20MΩ. (series diode + FET)

Upper Connector - Housing:

• +ve probe to Upper Connector >20MΩ.

• -ve probe to Upper Connector 1.7MΩ.

 ADS/ADSP
Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 4. Operating Procedure
Lower Connector - Housing:

• +ve probe to Lower Connector >20MΩ.

• -ve probe to Lower Connector 2.3MΩ.

Note: The readings will differ as indicated according to the position of the switch. If the switch is in an inter-
mediate position, the results will be unpredictable. Therefore it is important to ensure that the tool is
in the indicated positions before performing these checks.

Note: The readings obtained will vary according to the type of meter used. The readings between upper
and lower connectors while in CLOSED/FIRE position reflect the passenger protection circuitry.

4.1.3 OPERATION

Refer to Section 4.3 for a complete description of operation.

Figure 4.1 ADS Panel - Front & Back

1 Connect the ADS upper head to the ADSP via a suitable logging cable or logging cable
simulator.

2 Turn on the main power. The LCD, marked STATUS, will illuminate with a [Please Wait]
message. After a delay of 4 seconds, the LCD will show the normal display. The following
indications are shown:

ADS Mode S 23mA

Position: XXXX

Where:

• 23mA = typical tool current.

• Flashing S indicates scanning cycle is active.
• XXXX = current tool position (should be SAFE or FIRE).

Note: If a fault occurs, an error will be displayed on the LCD. Refer to Section 7.3.2 for additional
information.

 ADS/ADSP
Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 4. Operating Procedure
To change the ADS switch position, press the appropriate ('FIRE/CLOSED' or 'SAFE/OPEN')
button. If the ADS is already in that position, the button will be ignored. The display will change to
indicate that the button has been pressed.

After 2 seconds, the user will be asked to confirm the command. This is achieved by re-pressing the
button.

Note: Holding the button down will not work, the system requires two separate button actions. The display
will only confirm that the tool is responding once the button is pressed for the second time.

The display will indicate the tool current during the period that the switch motor is running. The
current will vary between 35-95mA (depending on tool temperature).

When the switch has reached the correct position the current will drop to an nominal value of 12mA.
The panel will continue with this display for a total of approximately 30 seconds to allow the tool time
to move. During this period a '*' character will flash on the LCD, indicating that the system is active.

At the end of the 30 second period, the tool will be turned off and then restarted. Once the tool is
restarted, the new switch position will be shown on the display.

Note: If the switch has not moved to the 'SAFE/OPEN' or 'FIRE/CLOSED' position, the display may
show 'POS2','POS3' or 'POS4', which means that the switch is in an intermediate position. Should
this occur, repeat the command sequence, described above, to get the required result. Should the
switch fail to reach the required state after two command cycles, the tool must be inspected and
tested for correct mechanical operation. See Section 7.3. Normally a tool should require only a
single command sequence to reach the requested position.

The tool should be left in the 'SAFE/OPEN' position in normal circumstances, unless the specific
job requires that it be initially closed.

4.2 CONNECTING TO TOOLSTRING & LOGGING PANEL

4.2.1 ADS TOOL

The tool should be positioned in the string just above the tool(s) which require electrical isolation,
e.g. between a well tractor and perforating guns.

The ADS should never be connected directly to the panel. A logging cable or Dummy Logging Cable
(DLC) should always be used. While the tool or panel will not be damaged if connected directly,
correct operation cannot be guaranteed.

4.2.2 ADS SURFACE PANEL

It is important to understand that the ADS and ADSP form a complete system and cannot be
considered independantly. The behaviour of the ADSP and hence the remainder of the surface
system will depend on the state of the ADS itself.

The specific details of the connection of the ADSP to the surface logging system will depend upon
the application and the type of equipment elsewhere in the system. For the purposes of the
description a basic scenario consisting of a tractor panel, a shooting panel and the ADSP and its
connections are shown in Figure 4.2.

Chapter 4. Operating Procedure

4.3.1 CHANGING ADS TOOL SWITCH POSITION

Move to Closed/Fire Position:

Press the Close/Fire button once. The LCD will confirm this action:

ADS Mode Go FIRE?

Position: SAFE

After 3 seconds, the LCD will change and ask for confirmation of the Close/Fire command:

ADS Mode Go FIRE?

Confirm: FIRE

Press the button again to confirm:

ADS Mode Go FIRE?

OK Going FIRE

The display will change after 2 seconds as below:

ADS Mode I = 50mA

OK Going FIRE *

Monitor the tool current while the motor is running, see the note below.

The asterisk '*' will flash to indicate that the panel is now in a timeout phase where it will allow the
tool 30 seconds to reach its new position before restarting .

Note: During this time the tool current should not rise significantly above 90mA and ideally should stay at
or below this current. Short peaks of up to 100mA are acceptable, particularly for a new tool or if the
tool is cold, but an average above 95mA indicates a problem with the tool.

The motor will stop running when the tool reaches the requested position. The current will fall with
increasing tool temperature to a nominal value of 35-40mA at 177°C (350°F).

After approximately 30 seconds, the tool is turned off and restarted. When the tool restarts, the new
position should be indicated.

If the tool has failed to reach the new position, a second command may be made as above.
However, the tool should always be able to reach the requested position in the available time and
failure to do this indicates a fault with the tool.

Move to Open/Safe Position:

Press the Open/Safe button once. The LCD will confirm this action:

ADS Mode Go SAFE?

Position: FIRE

During this time, the tool current should not rise significantly above 95mA and ideally should stay at
or below this current. Peaks of up to 100mA are acceptable, but an average above 95mA indicates
a problem with the tool.

The motor will stop running when the tool reaches the requested position. The current will fall with
increasing tool temperature to a minimum of 35-40mA at 177°C (350°F).

After approximately 30 seconds the tool is turned off and restarted. When the tool restarts, the new
position should be indicated.

Note: Holding the button down will not work, the system requires two separate button actions. The display
will only confirm that the tool is responding once the button is pressed for the second time.

Note: If the switch has not moved to the 'SAFE/OPEN' or 'FIRE/CLOSED' position, the display may
show 'POS2', 'POS3' or 'POS4', which means that the switch is in an intermediate position. When
this occurs, repeat the command sequence, described above, to get the required result. Should the
switch consistently fail to reach the required state, the tool must be inspected and tested for correct
mechanical operation. See Section 7.3. In any event, a new tool should always reach the requested
position with a single command sequence. Failure to do this should be regarded as a fault.

4.3.2 CHANGING SURFACE SYSTEM MODE

The position of the ADS tool switch element determines the behaviour of the surface system. When
the ADS tool is in the SAFE/OPEN position, the tractor panel may be enabled. When the ADS tool
is in the FIRE/CLOSED position, the shooting panel may be enabled.

Select Tractor Mode - Tool in Open/Safe Position:

Turn on the panel and if the tool is not in the Open/Safe position, enable the Open/Safe position as
described in Section 4.3.1.

Chapter 4. Operating Procedure

4.4 POST OPERATION DISASSEMBLY

The toolstring should be thoroughly cleaned before dissassembly. Well fluid should not reach the
electrical connectors. Thread protectors should be fitted to the tool as soon as possible after
removal from the string.

If the tool has been used in a situation where it will have been exposed to high levels of vibration or
mechanical shock, the pressure housing should be removed and the chassis and switch assembly
visually inspected for signs of damage or movement.

The tool should ideally be left in the 'SAFE/OPEN' condition after last use, so it is in a known and
safe state prior to the next job.

If the tool needs more than one operation to move to a required position the cause of this should be
investigated before next use, see Section 7.

4.5 TRANSPORT, HANDLING & STORAGE

The tool requires no special handling or transportation precautions.

When not part of a toolstring, lightly greased thread protectors should be fitted to both ends. Do not
overtighten.

Do not subject the tool to excessive mechanical shock such as dropping or hitting with a hard object.

5 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION

The main chassis is a single aluminum assembly, which carries the PCBs and motor. The switch
elements are secured to the chassis via guide fingers, which also serve to locate the lower chassis
cap. A similar cap is mounted at the top of the chassis assembly. These caps carry electrical
feedthrough connections. The chassis is retained in the pressure housing by a number of O-rings,
which act as shock absorbers. The housing ends locate the assembly longitudinally. Wave springs
centralise the assembly and provide a reliable earthing path. The ends contain pressure isolated
electrical feedthrough assembles with Go-A fittings. The chassis should be able to move
longitudinally within the pressure housing to enable it to absorb large physical shocks, such as
during perforating operations or similar.

6 ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION

6.1 ADS SURFACE PANEL

Ref.: Surface Panel Mains Wiring WD-09738

6.1.1 GENERAL

The mains power supply to the panel should be 100-120 or 210-240Vac at 50-60Hz and the
appropriate range should be selected on the rear panel. In the event of the wrong range being
selected, the panel will not function and the circuit breaker on the rear panel may trip. Select the
correct range and allow several minutes before resetting the circuit breaker.

The mains voltage selection switch controls an auto-transformer, which supplies 220Vac to the step-
down transformers. It should be noted that this is not an isolation transformer.

The mains voltage is filtered at the input plug on the rear panel. It is possible that the presence of the
filter may cause the unit to apparently fail a Portable Appliance Test or similar earth leakage test.
This should be taken into account when carrying out such tests on filtered appliances.

The metalwork of the panel is bonded to the mains supply earth pin, which is in turn linked to the line
power supply common rail and hence the rig ground. This is for safety reasons and should not be
altered.

The mains transformers are protected by individual fuses on the PCB. In the event of a fuse failing,
the cause of the failure should be located and addressed before replacing the fuse. Always use a
fuse of the same rating, indicated on the PCB, or repeated failure or possibly damage to the panel
can occur. A spare fuse is located on the PCB.

The line output connection is protected by a fuse on the PCB. In the event of this fuse failing, the
cause of the failure should be investigated immediately. Be aware that the cause of the failure of this
fuse may be outside the panel. Always replace with a fuse of the same value and DO NOT substi-
tute with the transformer fuses described above. A spare fuse is located on the PCB.

6.1.2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Ref.: ADSP001 Main Board CD-82460

6.1.2.1 Power Supply

There are three discrete power supply sections, the local supply based around U3, U4 and U8, the
Down-Hole Signalling driver (DHS) supply based around U1 and U2, and the line voltage supply
based around U19. The stepped down AC from the transformers is smoothed and filtered using con-
ventional full wave rectifiers with split capacitors to provide +/-dc voltages where necessary. The
resultant dc voltages are regulated down by fixed regulator ICs, except for the line voltage which has
a small adjustment range via RV4 and associated components. The voltage is nominally set at -
55Vdc

In operation the local supply, referenced to chassis and earth, provides +/-12V and +5V for the panel
circuitry. The line supply positive terminal is connected to the common point, thus giving a line
voltage that is negative with respect to ground. The DHS supply has its common point connected to
the line supply negative terminal, thus giving +/-12V with respect to the negative line voltage. This
supply is used to power the down-hole signalling circuitry.

 ADS/ADSP
Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 6. Electrical Description
6.1.2.2 Comms Driver
The comms driver is the only circuitry powered by the DHS power supply circuit. Downlink comms
data pulses from the processor are buffered and level shifted by the circuitry based around Q3-Q7,
resulting in +/-10V pulses with respect to the negative line voltage. The precise symmetry of the
pulses is adjusted via RV1. The pulses are fed to a non-inverting buffer based around U5 and Q1,
Q2. This buffer has unity voltage gain, but high current gain. The output of the buffer drives the
wireline when connected via the relay system. The sense resistor R6 allows uplink current pulses to
be detected and the overall tool current is sensed by Q8 and R55. Q8's collector current is
proportional to the load current and the presence of Q8 allows the current to be measured with
respect to earth without compromising the line signals. Diodes D31 and D32 provide a degree of
protection to the amplifier in the event that a dc voltage is inavertantly connected to the panel output.

6.1.2.3 Control Logic

All of the panel functionality is contained within a PIC microcontroller. This includes the LCD and
switch control interface along with uplink recovery and downlink drive. U12 is the microcontroller
itself. U11 is a power-on-reset/supply monitor device, which controls the Reset pin of U12. U15 is a
crystal oscillator module with a 4MHz output.

The LCD connects via connector 11A/B, RV3 allows the display contrast to be adjusted although this
should not normally require adjustment. The front panel switches connect via connector 8 and the
status LEDs connect via connector 12. A single analogue input is provided for the monitoring of tool
current. Other digital inputs and outputs provide control and monitoring of the tool comms and the
relays controlling the panel connectivity.

A serial port connection is provided via connector 9. This allows in-circuit reprogramming of U12 and
also the status of the comms between tool and panel to be remotely monitored. Both activities will
require a suitable interface module and suitable terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.

6.1.2.4 Uplink Comms Decoder

The current pulses from the tool are detected across R6 and the resultant voltage pulses are ac
coupled into an overall non-inverting amplifier, based around U18A and U18B. The 1st stage of
amplification has its output amplitude limited by D34-D35 to prevent overload and possible latch-up
of the subsequent circuitry. The amplified pulses are fed to a window comparator based around U6A
and U6B, whose thresholds are set by the resistor ladder R15, R27, R57 and R26. A small amount
of hysteresis is applied to the comparators to damp out ringing effects at transitions. The open-col-
lector outputs of the comparators are level-shifted to CMOS logic levels. The positive pulse detector
drives the Set input of a D-type latch, U7, while the negative pulse detector drives the Reset input.
The latch can also be reset directly from U12. The output from the latch is the reconstructed data-
stream from the tool logic and is passed to U12.

6.1.2.5 Tool Current & Voltage Monitoring

The voltage monitoring circuit monitors the line input voltage from the Tractor Panel connector and
prevents the operation of the relay if this voltage is greater than +/-5V. This is to prevent premature
failure of the tractor relay due to arcing or welded contacts. The voltage from the line input connector
is isolated via R47 (note voltage rating) and R38, and buffered by U17B. D23-24 clamp the input to
U17 to safe limits. The voltage is then recitified via the absolute value circuit, based around U17A,
and amplified by U17D. The resultant voltage is detected by the comparator based around U17C,
whose threshold is set by D28, R44. The comparator output is level shifted and passed to U12.

The tool current as detected by Q8, R55 is converted to a voltage across R33. This voltage is
amplified and buffered by U16, the output of which is passed to an analogue input on U12.

Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 6. Electrical Description
6.1.2.6 Relay System
A system of relays is used to connect the panel circuitry or other external systems to the wireline
according to the status of the ADS tool. The CMOS logic level signals from U12 are buffered by the
octal open-collector driver U10. The drive to the ADS and Shoot Panel relays is directed via level
shifting MOSFET transistors Q9 and Q10. The relays have free-wheel diodes and suppressor
capacitors across their coils to protect the MOSFETs. The drive to the Tractor Panel relay has
additional safety features covered in Section 6.1.2.7 below. The operation of these relays is directly
controlled by the microcontroller U12, which precludes simultaneous operation of more than one
relay at any time. The siren output via connector 7 drives a solid-state siren intended to warn the
user of a detected fault condition in the panel or tool.

6.1.2.7 Relay Protection Module

Due to the high current/voltage present during tractoring operations, it is undesireable for the tractor
relay to change state until the voltage is below a reasonable limit. When under control of the panel,
the relay cannot operate until the voltage is below +/-5V. However, in the event of a fault such that
the panel loses power, the relay can then operate with full tractor power present with the attendant
risk of contacts welding. The protection circuit prevents the contacts from seeing the high voltage at
the moment of changeover by shorting the tractor voltage to ground via the high power Insulated
Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Q11.

In operation, the relay operates normally via D40. D43/C26 provide a reservoir to keep the relay
open for a short period should the main power fail. In this event, Q12 will turn off as a result of loss
of signal on its gate and Q11 will be pulled on by the charge on C25. Q11 shorts out the Line input to
the relay long enough for C26 to discharge and for the relay to release. Q11 will go open circuit as
the charge on C25 drains, thus preventing excessive heat in Q11 or possible long term damage to
the tractor supply. C53 ensures that Q12 operates slowly during the power-on sequence, thus
allowing Q11 to perform the same function during power-up. R7 acts as a 'shock absorber' for Q11,
preventing significantly high current surges without hindering normal operation.

6.1.2.8 Unused Logic Gates

Indicates unused logic gates on the PCB and the relevant rails to which they are tied. Also indicated
are decoupling capacitors specific to individual I.C.s.

6.1.2.9 Transformer Connections

6.2 ADS TOOL

6.2.1 HV ISOLATION CIRCUIT BOARD

Ref.: HV Isolation Board CD-86034

6.2.1.1 Line Isolation Circuit

The Line Isolation Circuit is intended to isolate the ADS electronics from the wireline when the
voltage on the line is outside the range 0 to -80Vdc. It has to be able to withstand up to +/-1500Vdc
or ac for short periods at full rated temperature, while maintaining that isolation sufficiently to prevent
the ADS from powering up in any way. The circuit consists of three similar cascaded modules. Each
module has a threshold detector, based around a CMOS invertor IC U1 (U2, U3). When the line

 ADS/ADSP
Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 6. Electrical Description
voltage is sufficiently high, the voltage across the resistor R4 (R10, R17, the gate) is turned on. The
result is that the MOSFET pass transistor Q1 (Q2, Q3) is turned off, thus isolating the ADS circuit
from the line. R1 and D2 (R7/D4, R14/D6) provide local power for U1 (U2, U3) while D1 (D3, D5)
prevent excessively high voltages from reaching the logic IC inputs. The resistor chain R3, R9 and
R16 bias the transistor cascade, such that they share the line voltage equally. R6, R12, R13 provide
extra resistance in the voltage dividing chains, according to the level of the module in the cascade.
D7 prevents operation in the presence of any positive voltage and D12, R19 protect the circuit in the
event of a failure of D7.

6.2.1.2 Passenger Protection Circuit

The passenger protection circuit is intended to isolate all tools below the ADS, while the ADS is
powered up at -35 to -95Vdc nominal line voltage. The circuit is identical in operation to the line
isolation circuit module, described in Section 6.2.1.1, except that it works in the opposite sense; i.e
the MOSFET Q4 is turned off when U4 detects a voltage in the range 0 to -100Vdc. This prevents
the ADS power from reaching the tools below the ADS under all circumstances, when the ADS is
powered up. The circuit is tolerant of short circuits to ground in either or both polarities over the full
temperature range.

6.2.2 PROCESSOR CIRCUIT BOARD

Ref.: Processor Circuit Board CD-86032

6.2.2.1 Power Regulation & Control

The power to the logic circuits is provided by a current source based around Q1, Q2, D3, D2. This
provides a fixed 10mA supply to the zener diode D4 of which approximately 60% is used by the logic
circuits. D4 limits the voltage to 5.6V and dissipates the remaining power. Q8, Q9, Q11, Q12 form an
H bridge to control the motor. This allows normal rotation in both directions. Q7 and Q10 level shift
the CMOS signals from the microcontroller U3 to control Q9, Q12. R20, R30, C1 constitute a noise
filter to prevent motor noise from affecting the logic circuitry. The motor drive circuitry is enabled by
Q3 and Q4. This prevents any motor operation until enabled by the correct command sequence,
received from the microcontroller.

The uplink current pulses are provided by Q13 and Q14 in combination with R6, which limits the
current pulse magnitude to approximately +/-10mA. Q13 is normally on and Q14 is normally off.

6.2.2.2 Control Logic

The functionality of the ADS tool is contained within the microcontroller U3. This contains the uplink
and downlink control and motor/switch control. U1 buffers the motor control signals to the switch
mechanism to allow motor rotation in either direction. U4 is a crystal-controlled oscillator providing a
4MHz clock signal to U3. A reset signal is generated by U1C and associated circuitry to reset U3 on
each power-up. Connections are provided to the Hall sensors that indicate the switch position, and
to the uplink and downlink signalling circuitry.

Chapter 6. Electrical Description
6.2.2.3 Sensor Circuitry
The Hall sensors are powered up for approximately 10μs each time the microcontroller scans the
current switch position in order to conserve power. This is achieved with Q15 and associated
components under the control of U3. The Schmitt trigger invertor U7 buffers the sensor signals into
U3.

The downlink voltage pulses are AC coupled into the CMOS comparators formed around U7A, U7B
and U7F. The positive pulses control the Set input to the D typle latch U6B and the negative pulses
control the Reset input. The latch may also be reset independantly by U3. The output from U6 is a
reconstructed version of the logic level signals from the surface system.

7.1.1 GREASE & LUBRICANTS

Sondex recommends the use of “Liquid O-ring type 101” (p/n LOR101) on threads and O-rings.

All O-rings and housing threads are assumed to be and must be lightly greased, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.

Correct use of grease and lubricants is essential to the maintenance of all Sondex downhole
equipment.

Note that some threads are internal, which can cause grease to get inside the tool. Do not use
excessive quantities.

Sondex does not recommend Copper loaded greases since some types can cause electrical leaks.
Some types for grease are not suitable for use on O-rings. Silicone grease may be used on O-rings,
but must be kept clear of threads, especially stainless steel to stainless steel.
Cavities, e.g. spring housings, should be filled with a suitable heavy high melting point grease. like
Castrol Spheerol L-EP2 or Castrol LMX.

The use of certain greases, which contain volatile content, (e.g. some types
Caution! of Lubriplate) can cause electrical failure due to production of corrosive gas-
ses inside the tool when burned off.

The rails within the chassis assembly, on which the PEEK block slides, should be clean and free
from contamination or signs of wear. They should not be lubricated in any way. Any indication of
tightness of movement of the block should be investigated.

The leadscrew should be clean and free from lubrication.

The pins and sockets of the switch element should be clean and free from contamination of any sort.

Clean if necessary with a cloth, dipped lightly in solvent, and ensure that all parts are dry and free
from dust, etc.

Note: If RTV or similar compound is used to secure loose components, it must be fully cured before
housing is replaced.

• Electrical components shorting to chassis.

• Heat or chemical damage (discoloured components).
• Incorrect thread grease or excessive quantity.
• Cleanliness of connectors and loose/bent pins before replacing.

4 Check all fixings and grub screws for tightness.

Note: Check all fasteners for tightness, particularly after use in which the tool was subjected to extreme
mechanical shock or vibration. Check the tightness of the pins in the PEEK block and tighten if
necessary.

Note: Avoid excessive torque as this will strip the threaded inserts from the PEEK block.

Carefully inspect the wiring around the switch assembly, particularly those wires which are subject to
movement as the block itself moves. Ensure that the wires are not trapped at any time during the full
range of movement of the block. Ensure that wires which run in channels or holes within the chassis
assembly are correctly located and not suffering from chafing or other damage. Ensure that any
kapton tape used to secure wiring within wire channels etc is in good condition and is not likely to
become trapped between the chassis assembly and housing.

7.1.3.1 Addressable Downhole Switch Panel

Figure 7.1 ADSP001 assembly

Using a suitable meter, check the following voltages:

Negative Probe Positive Probe Voltage

U18, pin 5 U18, pin 4 +12V
U18, pin 5 U18, pin 11 -12V
U12, pin 12 U12, pin 11 +5V
U5, pin 4 U5, pin 7 +24V

Note: All voltages should be within ±0.2V of stated voltages.

Measure the voltage across R52 (negative probe towards front of panel). This should be -55Vdc
±1.0Vdc. If the voltage is incorrect it may be adjusted using RV4. However, if the error is more than
±3-4V there is likely to be a fault around U19 and associated circuitry.

7.1.4 AGEING OF ELECTRONICS

At 150°C, significant electronic ageing failures are expected after 4000hrs typical use, hence PCB
replacement should be considered at this point. Every additional 10°C halves the time. Life of the
electronics is also accelerated by vibration and corrosive gas inside the chassis. Visual inspection
and logging previous history is recommended, but is unlikely to predict premature failure.

Tools that may be suspected of reliability problems due to age or unusual log response may be
heated to 120°C, which would not normally age the electronics, and afterwards subjected to
moderate vibration. A moderately hard blow from a wooden hammer is recommended.

DO NOT USE METAL HAMMERS.

7.1.5 HEAT TESTING ABOVE 150°C

This is not generally recommended since it shortens tool life expectancy.

Heat testing may be required for contractual reasons, tool out of use for a long period, or job with
unusually high well temperature. The test should be carried out slightly above expected well
temperature only and the tool should not be kept at temperature for more than 1 hour.

7.2 EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Ref.: ADS002 General Assembly 09746
ADS003 General Assembly 09737
Electronics Assembly 85971

7.2.1 O-RING EXCHANGE

If the tool experiences H2S gas or temperatures above 150°C, the following O-rings must be
replaced:

ADS002:

• 4x item 7, 09746.
• 2x item 10, 09746.
• 1x item 6, 09746.
• 1x item 14, 09746.
• 2x item 15, 85971 (Located on the End Cap assemblies (item 1 & 5, 85971).).

ADS003:

• 4x item 5, 09737.
• 2x item 6, 09737.
• 1x item 14, 09737.
• 1x item 15, 09737.
• 2x item 15, 85971 (Located on the End Cap assemblies (item 1 & 5, 85971).).

Note: The O-rings fitted to the chassis assembly are not pressure isolating seals. They act as shock
absorbers and spacers between chassis and housing. Therefore their physical condition is less
critical than those in pressure isolating locations. However, if they exhibit signs of significant wear or
damage they must be replaced. These O-rings are softer than those normally used in pressure
isolating locations. The O-rings should need no more than the lightest coating of grease to facilitate
fitting of the assembly into the pressure housing.

7.2.2 WAVE SPRINGS

If the wave springs (item 10, 09737 or item 2, 09746), located at the ends of the chassis assembly,
show signs of damage or loss of tension they should be replaced. The free height of the spring
should be between 5 and 8mm.

7.2.3 TRANSISTOR INSULATORS

The transistors fitted to the HV Isolation Board (item 7, 85671) are secured to the chassis and insu-
lated by PEEK bushes and mica pads. These should be carefully inspected for signs of damage and
if there is any doubt, they should be replaced with new parts. Note that the full upper head voltage
may exist on the transistor tab while the chassis and fixing are at ground potential. No type of heat-
sink compound is needed or desirable in this application, the primary function of the fixing is to
provide mechanical location.

7.2.4 SURFACE PANEL

The panel should require no routine maintenance or adjustment. Fuses are fitted to the PCB for the
three mains transformers and a fuse is also fitted in series with the ADS output from the PCB to the
Line Out connector on the rear panel. In the event of a malfunction, these fuses should be checked.
If a fuse has blown it must be replaced with one of the same type and value. A spare one of each
type used is fitted to the PCB. The reason for the fuse failure should be ascertained before further
use.

The line voltage is selected via a switch mounted on the rear panel. In the event that the panel is set
to 110V but connected to a 220-240V supply, the miniature circuit breaker will trip between 1-3
seconds after turning on. The power should be removed immediately and the circuit breaker left for
2 minutes before resetting. A blown circuit breaker is indicated by the button protruding such that the
white band shows. To reset, press the button in firmly until it latches in.

7.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
7.3.1 MECHANICAL

Mechanical faults are likely to be confined to the moving switch element and the gearmotor and
leadscrew.

If excessive current is noted during switch actuation the leadscrew and nut should be inspected for
signs of damage or possible contamination with dust etc. Also the cleanliness of the rails on which
the PEEK block slides should be checked. The block should be not be tight on the rails, a small
amount of play should be evident, equivalent to 0.01 - 0.02″ clearance between block and rails.

The gearmotor uses a planetary gearbox assembly and this may become worn or damaged in the
event of significant use or excessive shock. This will be revealed by excessive gear noise and/or
high current while the motor is running.

If the gear noise significantly varies in pitch with each revolution of the leadscrew then the leadscrew
itself may be bent or damaged and should be carefully inspected.

7.3.2 PANEL FAULTS

7.3.2.1 Indicated Faults

In the event that a fault occurs with the tool, panel or comms the panel will indicate this on the LCD.
A siren will sound and the tool will be shut down to prevent any further operation. All relays will also
be released thus disconnecting or disabling any other surface systems. The exception to this is the
line voltage detect fault (Fault 1), where the tractor relay is held in its last state. The panel must be
turned off and on again to mute the siren and clear the alarm. If the fault is still present the same
process will happen again. If the fault is cleared, the system should restart normally.

The fault codes and their causes are listed below:

Code Error Cause

Fault 1 Voltage present The panel has detected a voltage greater than +/-5V present at the
at tractor input. tractor input when a request to operate/release the tractor relay
was made. The voltage must be cleared before the panel is reset.
This prevents the relay contacts from welding or eroding when try-
ing to switch high voltages and currents.
Fault 2 - Not currently in use.
Fault 3 Comms The panel has failed to receive data from the tool during a comms
time-out. event. The system must be reset to continue.
Fault 4 Bad response A bad character has been received from the tool during an
from tool. OPEN/SAFE or CLOSE/FIRE command sequence. The system
must be reset to continue.
Fault 5 - Not currently in use.
Fault 6 Tool Fault. A fault internal to the ADS tool has been detected.

In the case of Fault 3, the most likely causes are a bad connection between panel and tool or a
failure within the tool itself. Fault finding is difficult if the tool is continually causing the panel to reset,
so in this instance basic checks of the tool power rails and other circuit elements may be made by
powering the tool from a bench PSU at a voltage of -40 to -50Vdc via a 47R resistor. If available, set
the current limit of the PSU to approximately 50mA.

In the case of Fault 4, the most likely cause will be noise on the logging cable during a command
transmit or receive process between tool and panel. Restarting the system should result in
successful operation. A continual failure at a specific point in the sequence is extremely unlikely, but
could possibly be caused by unusual logging cable impedance or the influence of other tools in the
string. Operating the tool independantly with a known cable simulator should isolate this problem.

7.3.2.2 Other Fault Indications

In the event that the tool is in an indeterminate position when powered up (due to mechanical failure
or a failed Hall sensor or magnet), it will return an error code to the panel that forces the LCD to
display FLT as the current position. This can repeat for up to 5 consecutive scans before causing a
system fault (Fault 4, see Section 7.3.2.1).

The tool current display may also be used to indicate possible faults although care must be taken
since the displayed value will include any other loads on the line. The tool in isolation should indicate
between 22-24mA with no short circuits below the tool and approximately 32mA with a short circuit
below the tool when in the CLOSE/FIRE position.

 ADS/ADSP
Addressable Downhole Switch
Chapter 7. Extended Checks
When the motor is running during a change in switch position, the current will be between 35-95mA
(depending on tool temperature), but may rise to >100mA during the first 2-4 seconds of movement
if the tool is cold (0 to 15°C). As a general rule, the hotter the tool the lower the motor current. When
the motor stops, the current should fall to between 11-13mA for the remainder of the open or close
period.

Should a fault occur briefly and last for less than 5 consecutive scans, the system will indicate the
fault for the fault duration and then revert to normal operation. The fault counter within the software
will count back to zero with each consecutive good scan, but count back towards 5 with each
consecutive bad scan. In this way, noise and other sporadic faults are ignored, but hard faults are
detected and reported accordingly.

A repeated fault in moving to either the FIRE or SAFE position indicates a failed Hall sensor or
damaged magnet. Inspect the Hall sensor PCB and the magnets in the sliding PEEK block carefully
for damage. Check also the alignment of the Hall sensors and the correct location of the PEEK
spacer between the sensors and the PCB itself. The sensors should be firmly seated against the
PEEK spacer, which in turn should be bonded to the PCB with RTV 3145 or similar. The sensors
should be aligned at 90° to the long axis of the board and should not be obviously bent or distorted.

It is important that the Hall sensor assembly is carefully maintained since the tool relies on these
sensors to indicate its position and hence determine the state of the system.

7.3.3 ELECTRICAL

An oscilloscope, digital multi-meter, soldering iron and hand tools will be required. Also, refer to
Section 6 and Appendix B for any instructions and drawings, required to perform these checks.

7.3.3.1 Addressable Downhole Switch Tool

Note: In the event of a failure causing a loss of communication between tool and panel, the panel will time
out and indicate a fault condition which results in the tool being turned off. In order to facilitate basic
fault finding of the tool it is permissible to power the tool in isolation by connecting it to a dc power
supply. The positive output of the power supply should be connected to tool chassis and the
negative output to the line input at the upper head of the tool. Voltages in the range -50 to -60Vdc
will be suitable. This will not allow the comms to be tested, but will enable basic tests on supply rails
etc to be carried out.

Check for:
• Damaged wires.
• Damaged components.
• Electrical components shorting to chassis.

• Heat or chemical damage (discoloured components).
• Incorrect thread grease or excessive quantity, see Section 7.1.1.

Also check all fixings are tight.
