User Manual

 The booster and the detonators have to be kept apart from each other. Make sure

they cannot be dropped into the hole.

 Follow general and specific rules about the use of detonators and explosives.

 Only trained personnel should carry out these tasks.

While Priming, loading and stemming:

 Place the electronic detonator inside the booster/cartridge.

 Using a pole or another device, place the primer in the hole.

 Uncoil the cable making sure it is not twisted during the process. Also make sure the

cable does not rub the collar or the wall of the hole during the priming process.

 Loading- For both packaged or bulk explosives, avoid rubbing the cable.

 Stemming- Protect the cable with a tool against sharp objects that could damage it.

 Keep the connectors closed to avoid moisture inside.

 Assure the cable in the collar of the hole.

REMEMBER Keep blaster/loggers OFF when not in use.

4.2. During logging

 Check the delay times against the blast plan frequently. If a wrong delay has been

assigned or if there is any uncertainty, always check it and correct it immediately.

 Record the logging sequence on the blast plan.

 Any exception to the blast plan (i.e. hole blocked, detonator missing) should be

recorded on the plan.

4.3. After logging

 Check the blast design against the logging list.

 Run DETONATORS TESTS.

 Run LEAKAGE.

Remember:

 Bus line must to have its ends isolated to prevent short cuts.

 Always use replacement connectors when necessary to joint between different

branches to the main line or to substitute damaged connector in electronic

detonators.
