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

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.

Features and benefits

  • Fast and simple “tag by plan” deployment method.
  • Automatic check to ensure the correct number of detonators per channel .
  • Detonator energy monitoring right up to the point of blasting.
  • Autonomous detection and testing of detonators.
  • Programming speed is 7 times faster than existing systems.
  • Blaster wirelessly controlled through the multi-purpose CE4 Tagger.
  • On-bench fault detection simplified with the GPS location of the detonator hole position in the CE4 Tagger.
  • Allows for 10 ViewShot plans to be stored on the CE4 Tagger.
  • Maximum wire length per channel 16 000m (400 dets per channel at 40m).
  • Six channels, each accommodates 300 detonators.
  • Can be used in standalone mode to fire up to 1800 detonators.
