RELIABILITY & EFFICIENCY IN HORIZONTAL COMPLETIONS
Yellow Jacket’s Advanced Communications Protocol Allows For Communication Speeds Up To Three Times Faster Than Standard Switches.
Learn more about our Digital Switch System™ and learn just how it works.
FEATURES
• Enhanced Communication Speeds
DSS™ is faster when inventorying switches downhole & offers a speed advantage when programming & testing the gun string at surface
• Certified RF-Safe
Certified by industry-standard independent testing lab Franklin Applied Physics
• Eliminates Potential For Duplicate Switch ID’s
DSS™ switches are manufactured without a unique identifier programmed into each switch; ID is programmed by the Test Box at surface
• Robust Switch Design
Tested to extreme temperatures & shock conditions to ensure durability
• Gun String Protection
Additional circuit protection built into each switch to prevent component failure in the event of an over- voltage on the wireline
BENEFITS
• Powers Yellow Jacket’s Full Gun String
Qualified for every Yellow Jacket perf gun, power safe device (PSD) & PSFH cartridge
• Compatible With All Industry Standard Detonators & Igniters
• DSS™ Offers Software Flexibility
Yellow Jacket’s proprietary DSS™ software is intuitive, user-friendly & works like a smartphone app
DSS™ switches are fully compatible with Warrior’s UniFire™ software or can be run in conjunction with DataCan Linewise™

JOB SUMMARY
UNLOCK THE FULL POWER OF DSS™ SOFTWARE: EMBRACE THE SWITCH.
• Smartphone-Inspired User Interface
User-friendly & intuitive software with a sleek smartphone app-like interface
DSS™ offers single screen functionality, instead of dividing focus between pop-up windows & the firing panel
• Custom Programming for Specific Switch Function
DSS™ has the ability to program each switch based on its intended function (Safety Sub, Release Tool, Perforating Gun, Plug Shoot Firing Head)
• Customizable Shot Windows
User-programmable shot windows reduce the potential for shooting outside of the desired depth target
• Enhanced Shoot-On-The-Fly Capabilities
Animated, colored graphics assist the wireline engineer to effortlessly know when approaching the shot window
Ability to easily adjust shot depths on-the-fly in the event of a misfire, skipped gun, or missed shot window
• Robust Data Reporting Features
Scalable shot plots clearly identify the voltage & duration of firing events
• Printable shot sheets
• Comprehensive Troubleshooting Capabilities
As downhole conditions change, sophisticated in-job logic warns users about potential issues
Live diagnostic capability without having to exit the software
• Cutting-Edge Database Infrastructure
Database infrastructure ensures reliable storage & logging of all job data
Ability to open pre-programmed jobs from CSV files & open previous jobs for review of data from each stage
• Compatibility Options
Compatible with both Warrior UniFire™ & DataCan Linewise™ for depth information
Ability to choose between Imperial & Metric units
• Seamless Recovery
In the event of a computer or software crash, can seamlessly resume an in-progress job from right where you left off
• Digital Power Supply
DSS™ software & shooting panel can automatically handle the power ramp-up, voltage/current limit, amplitude, duration, & shut down based on pre- programmed profiles for industry-standard detonators & igniters
