The DETOMET™ detects the firing impulse generated by the electric blasting machine by means of a sensor located in the box through which passes the electrical wire linking the detonator to the blasting machine. The signal is sent via fiber optic cable to the EXPLOMET-FO-2000™ where it starts an electronic timer device.
A further fiber optic cable is connected to the detonator and leads also to the EXPLOMET-FO-2000.
The firing of the detonator signals the EXPLOMET-FO-2000 to stop the timing device and displays the delay time in microseconds between the firing impulse and the firing of the detonator.
Reliability
- The DETOMET does not interfere with the initiation of the detonator and provide a high accuracy and safety of use.
- The use of fiber optic have the benefit of being immune against electromagnetic field and prevent false triggering leading to false results.
Precision
- Time measurement of the EXPLOMET-FO-2000: +/- 0.1 microsecond.
Safety
For your safety:
- Distance between the detonator and the DETOMET & EXPLOMET-FO-2000: up to 200 m. Possibility to install fixed lines.
For your detonators
- Avoid proximity with mobile phones.
- Avoid proximity with static electricity.
Easy use
- No special training is required for the use of DETOMET, EXPLOMET-FO-2000, and all those experienced in the use and handling of explosives will be able to operate the system with ease,
- The consumption of optic cable is very low (about 10 cm is destroyed for each test),
- Easily portable, can be carried with the EXPLOMET-FO-2000 system and its heavy duty case.
Easy installation
- Can be adapted to any existing site (with fixed cables).
Portable
- Only 4,5kg with transport case & the EXPLOMET-FO-2000, all attachments, and 100 m fiber optic probes, allows easy transportation to the blasting site.
