The
QuickShot Electronic Detonator
The QuickShot electronic detonator
consists of a standard size detonator tube with a five
wire crimped onto it. A male and a female connector
are attached to the wire to connect the detonator in
series. The blaster simply connects the QuickShot connectors
in the order of firing in a daisy chain manner. The
QuickShot is a pre-programmed detonator system; therefore
no programming occurs at the face.
The
QuickShot NetStart
The QuickShot NetStart carries the
conventional capped fuse and igniter cord systems into
the information age. NetStart is part of the ”Shot” generation
of electronic initiation systems and reliably initiates
blasting systems based on capped fuse and igniter cord
through a centralized blasting network.
The
QuickShot NetShock
The QuickShot
NetShock is an underground electronic initiation
system used to initiate shock tube rounds as part
of a network system utilizing other QuickShot hardware.
The
QuickShot CCU
This unit, used for communication
relay, is positioned in the crosscut. Information regarding
the connection of blast holes by stope panel is relayed
through the Face Boxes and CCUs to a surface-based
computer via
two wires.
The CCU controls the issuing of the
final blast command to the Face Boxes and acts as a
charging bay for the Face Boxes. There are multiple
security procedures to prevent any unplanned initiations.
The QuickShot Face Box
The QuickShot Face Box is
first and foremost a diagnostic device that tests
the integrity of the detonator installation
once charging up of the blast has been completed. Two-way
communication takes place between the QuickShot initiators
and the Face Box.
The Face Box’s other function is to act as an
interface between the QuickShot initiators and the
blast network. The blast network, or centralized blasting
system, is used in conjunction with other QuickShot
hardware to send a discreet firing signal and initiate
the blast remotely.
The
QuickShot Splitter
The QuickShot Splitter is a hardware
device featuring state-of-the-art silicon chip timing
technology, which, when placed in series with QuickShot
detonators, allows the signal to be split from one
into two.
The
QuickShot Pause Marker
The QuickShot Pause Marker is a
hardware unit, which, when placed in series with the
QuickShot electronic detonators, delays the signal
from the previous detonator to the next in line by
the indicated timing on the Pause Marker. These delays
are available in: 100ms, 200ms, 400ms, 500ms, 600ms,
800ms, 5000ms and 10000ms.
The
QuickShot Delay Marker
The QuickShot Delay marker is a
hardware device, which, when placed in series with
QuickShot detonators, will change the factory default
timing of 125 milliseconds to the indicated timing
delay on the Delay Marker. These delays are available
in: 0ms, 50ms, 150ms, 200ms, 300ms, 400ms, 500ms, 600ms,
700ms and 800ms.
