The DigiShot Ranger has been completely redesigned for the open cut, quarry, civils, and construction industry. It has been vastly improved from its DigiShot 300 predecessor, providing twice the detonator capacity, updated weatherproof enclosure with a built-in antenna for longer range RF up to 3km which makes it more robust for quick and easy deployment.
System components
Bench/Base/Repeater
It is a multipurpose blasting device that can be configured as a bench, base and repeater.
Bench Ranger
- Test Detonators / Communicates with Base Ranger directly to allow remote blasting. Can also enable a local blast.
Base Ranger
- Establish communication with Bench Ranger directly to enable remote blasting.
Repeater Ranger
- Enables 2-way RF communication between a Base and Bench Commander where line of sight is not possible, effectively doubling the RF range.
Bench/Base/Repeater
- This is a multi-purpose device used as a Bench Ranger and a Base Ranger. It controls the entire blast. The Ranger limits user interface through automatic detonator detection, testing and fast programming.
- Wirelessly controlled by the CE4 Tagger. The Ranger has two channels that can connect up to 300 detonators each, giving a total capacity of 600 detonators per Ranger. By verifying the voltage, it can blast through high levels of leakage.
- The Ranger boasts a unique and robust design, with a built-in long-range antenna that can handle the harshest mining conditions.
- The blast is initiated with encoded wireless NFC (Near Field Communication) Blast Card.
