Industry statistics show that 25% of unintended detonations
are caused by human error. The costs associated with
injuries and downtime can be staggering. Knowing that so
much is at stake, why would you choose anything less than
Guardian? We offer innovative products that automate
processes to help eliminate exposure to human error and
increase safety – all while minimizing the risk to your asset.
Our fully telemetry-controlled Select Fire Switch exceeds
the requirements of the API RP 67 code of practice for safe
perforating operations. In addition, the Select Fire Switch
features patented break-off tabs for instant visual
confirmation of switch status and eliminates the
requirement for radio silence for resistorized detonators.
