The CE4 Commander System is a solution for larger mining and surface operations, using our Commander Blasting Unit with its unique and robust design with build-in long-range antenna that can handle the harshest mining conditions. The Commander Systems allows for synchronized wired and wireless blasting solutions.
System components
Bench/Base/Repeater
It is a multipurpose blasting device that can be configured as a bench, base and repeater Commander.
Bench Commander
- Used in a standalone blast or remote blast where it will receive the firing command from the Base.
- Test Detonators / Communicates with Base Commander directly, or via the Repeater to allow remote blasting. Can also enable a local blast.
Base Commander
- Establish communication via all Bench Commanders and enables remote blasting.
Repeater Commander
Enables 2-way RF communication between a Base and Bench Commander where line of sight is not possible, effectively doubling the RF range.
