Hardware Installation
2-1. Control Box Installation
The control box should be mounted in the Dog House or other suitable location. The control box is not
rated for hazardous environments and must be kept dry. Provisions for cable routing and provided
cable lengths must also be considered. A cable way no less than 2” in diameter must be provided for
the TAC II system Cables. The TAC II system requires 120VAC power to operate. A six foot
120VAC power cable with a standard plug has been provided. The control box is equipped with
mounting feet to facilitate wall mounting. A suitable FLAT wall surface must be provided for
mounting the control box. 3/8” bolts with washers, lock washers and nuts are suitable fasteners for
attaching the control box to the wall. If other fasteners are to be used they should be capable of
supporting a minimum weight of 75 lbs.
8 of 66
TAC-II
2-2. The Driller’s Control Station Installation
The Driller’s Control Station should be mounted near the driller and be within easy reach and in the
driller’s line of sight. The pendant should be mounted in a semi protected area that is free from direct
rain fall or severe moisture. The pendant has a 75 ft cable that must be connected to the TAC II system
Control Box.
9 of 66
TAC-II
2-3. The High Limit Switch Installation
It is typically easier to mount the limit switch and junction box with the mast lowered. The Canrig
TAC II is equipped with a limit switch bypass key switch that will allow the TAC II system to be
tested and/or operated without the weighted block in place. Once the limit switch, weighted block and
junction box are mounted and the mast is raised, the limit switch cable may be routed and connected to
the control box. When routing the limit switch cable, provisions must be made so that the cable’s path
does not interfere with the safe use of the mast ladder and so that it is easily removed (and stored in
the crown section) during subsequent rig moves. The high limit switch and weighted block assembly
are to be mounted at the crown of the mast. Mounting plates/brackets must be welded to the mast. The
limit switch fasteners and mounting plate/bracket must be capable of supporting at least 25lbs.
 Safety cables are not included and are the responsibility of the customer to provide and ensure
that they comply with local safety regulations.

2-4. Weighted Block Installation
The weighted block must be mounted on the dead line AFTER it passes over the
first sheave to ensure contact with the blocks. The limit switch should be mounted in the
crown section of the mast so that the angle between the drill line and the limit switch cable/weighted
block chain does not exceed 10°
Weighted Block Illustration
WARNING: Although possible, operating the TAC II system without the

High Level Limit Switch is not recommended, installation or repair of the
limit switch and/or weighted block assembly is highly recommended for
fail-safe operation.
IMPORTANT: IF your Rig uses Drill line that is 1’1/2 or Larger Contact Canrig Services for a
Larger Bore Weighted Block

TAC-II
2-8. Installation of the Pneumatic Valve
The valve operation that is provided with the TAC II system is designed to operate the system as an air
release (fail safe) system. It can be adjusted to act as an air supplied system (see Appendix A) The
Valve will easily interface with existing ‘Crown-O-Matic’ systems and is designed to supply air to the
cylinder to release the Draw-works brake (to apply the brake in an air applied systems). The
illustration below shows the pneumatic valves operation. The pneumatic valve block has 1/4” NPT
threads on all ports and should be fed with 3/8” pneumatic hose.
The pneumatic valve that is provided with the TAC II can be used to operate the system as air release
(Fail Safe) or as air applied system. To plumb in the pneumatic valve, locate the supply and vent line
which are connected to the cylinder that actuates the brake handle. The supply air should be
connected to port ‘P’ of the valve. The supply air should pass through ‘B’. Port A should be ‘teed’ into
the return for the brake handle air cylinder. This configuration will cause the brake handle to drop
(actuate) if supply air is lost or if the coil becomes de-energized (loss of power) in a fail safe system. If
the system is air supplied for brake on, the loss of air supply releases the brake. The illustration below
is a schematic representation of a typical pneumatic interface. To change the system to air supplied,
follow the instructions in Appendix A at the end of this document.

WARNING -- Rig air systems may differ from rig to rig so it is important to
determine HOW the brake handle actuates and HOW the TAC II system is to
operate!!
