Proximity to Electric Detonators
The CAS-GPS system consists of various components including an in-vehicle unit and
personnel tag all of which are equipped with multiple radio transmitters. AS2187-2:2006
table I1, recommends a safe operating distance from any designated blasting area as
greater than 20 meters. AS2187-2:2006 table I1 is an Australian Standard and operators
and users should have regard to all relevant and applicable standards which may apply
within the country of use. Operators and users should also have regard to all detonator
and blasting contractor and manufacturer recommendations and all applicable safety
and operational procedures applicable at the site where the CAS-GPS System is used and
which relate to safe operating distances. Details of operating frequency and output
power of the various CAS-GPS System components are set out in the CAS-GPS
specification and user documentation. Operators and users should make their own
assessment in this regard
