About electronic detonators AEL Mining Services is a pioneer and leader in development and manufacturing of global cutting-edge electronic detonators. This new concept in initiation technology is set to transform the future of mining. AEL’s electronic detonator systems are robust, efficient and suitable for rugged applications in tunnelling shaft sinking, underground stoping, quarrying and opencast mining environments. AEL’s offering of electronic detonators is conceptualised, designed, manufactured, delivered, supported and maintained by specialised divisions in the group. This leaves AEL in an unique position, providing both solid and reliable systems, as well as all the services around the product to ensure complete peace of mind for its customers. Electronic detonators are considered leading technology in the marketplace and AEL has demonstrated its internal Research & Development prowess with the ongoing development of electronic detonators, which have been well received in the industry.
About The DigiShot Plus The DigiShot Plus electronic detonator system is geared for application at medium to large mines where large blasting and remote firing capabilities are required. This accurate, robust and safe electronic system consists of a steel down-line, 2-wire, easy to use detonator. It can fire a maximum of one thousand eight hundred detonators per blast and has remote firing capabilities. DigiShot Plus is fully programmable within 1 millisecond increments and the detonator can be set with a delay from zero to twenty thousand milliseconds.The DigiShot Plus electronic detonator system can be interfaced with DetNet’s technologically advanced ViewShot software, allowing you to conveniently and accurately design and simulate the blast for your own purposes. Last but not least, the bench box can be transformed into a base station and visa versa via software. Features The DigiShot Plus electronic detonator is made up of components that are engineered to create a system which is safe, robust, accurate and easy to apply: An accurate single electronic detonator with an easy to grip connector, waterproofed with a leakage-free gel, is connected to the inherently safe, portable tagger via a 4 to 2 way converter.
A location is assigned to the detonator via the Tagger and, at the same time, it tests for functionality. Once all the detonator locations have been assigned, the surface Bus Wire is laid out on the bench and connected to the detonators. The Tagger is connected to the Bus Wire to do a final functionality test for faults of the entire installation. The Tagger is extremely easy to use because of its logical step-by-step software and large buttons. The blast layout will then be entered into the Bench Box. This can be done manually off the bench; via the ViewShot software interface; or by connecting the blaster to the installation using the autosearch function, which will automatically retrieve the blast layout. Once the blast layout has been inputted into the Bench Box, delays can be assigned manually against each detonator location, downloaded automatically via the ViewShot software interface or inputted via an auto-programmable method, which can be done easily by entering a number of step by step blast design parameters, such as inter hole delays and inter row delays, including whether there are decks present in the blast configuration. At this stage the delays will be assigned to the layout and the Bench Box will be connected to the Bus Wire at either a place of
