REMOTE WIRELESS DETONATOR SYSTEM

摘要

A wireless detonator system wherein a blast initiation signal emanating from a programmable controller (12) is broadcast to individual, remote programmable detonators (16) associated with specific explosive charges (14). The controller (18) communicates with a programmable RF base transceiver. Upon interpreting the blast initiation signal, the RF base transceiver broadcasts instructions to the detonators (14). By assigning a single sacrificial detonator to a single charge, a timed blast sequence may be created without the need for time consuming and expensive hand wiring of the charges.
