HotShot Blast CradleThe HotShot Blast Cradleis used in conjunction withthe Tagger and a Blast Keyto initiate the balst.

The Blast Cradle connectsto the bench via a 2-wireconnection from the outputsof the docked Tagger to theBench Controller(s) on theblast. In addition, the BlastCradle is used to chargethe Tagger.

Base Station

SmartShot

The SmartShot Base station, placed at a point of safetyand used in conjunction with the Smart Key, allows forinitiation of the shot. The Base Station links to the BenchBox via secure radio frequency or via a simple two-wirelink. For security purposes this unit will require a unique

password to activate the blasting procedures.

Must be done manually at every detonator

but is stored in the detonators memory and

not an external device.Detonator delay storage prior to blasting Delay is assigned directly into the detonator

chip using a Tagger which operates at an

inherently safe voltage at the blast area from

one point with no need to walk from det to

det

Locations stored directly into Detonator

memory. Delays are assigned away from the

blast area directly into the Blaster via a

manual mode, automatic mode or via a pc

Sending delays to the detonator at blasting

time

Delays are already known as t his was stored

directly in the detonator chip. A global fire

command is sent to all the dets and the blast

is initiated.

The dets are called up according to their

manually loaded location ID and the delay

which has been stored in the Blaster against

that det location ID is then sent to the specific

dets. A global fire command is sent to all the

dets once they have received

Fault finding Due to "daisy chaining" connection method,

Tagger stops at the faulty det when testing.

Binary search required for leakage relat ed

problems. All control equipment is capable ofdetecting leakage

Tagger 'tells' the detonators what their

positions are in t he blast. During Autosearch

a blast summary screen is displayed making

fault finding easier. Binary search not alwaysrequired. All control equipment is capable of

detecting leakage

Design Flexibility and PC interface Fully programmable with added benefit of

auto programmability, Dets can be timed in a

"Manual mode" (each det is timed

individually) standing at one point or in 'Semi-

auto mode" where an entire string of dets can

be timed at once from one point. Software

Fully programmable. If a blast plan is aquired

the day before a blast then the timing can be

manually loaded into the Blaster that same

day. If extra holes have been added to the

blast on the blast day, the system allows the

user to edit the blast easily.

Blasting records (Blast logs) Can be downloaded after a blast from the

Bench Box to a PC. Information regarding det

timing, number of dets, detonator errors,

blasting voltages and if the firing signal was

sent to the dets can be extracted.
