For safety purposes, the system is activated through a pre-programmed and unique Password (PIN code)
protected Blast card System. The system deploys two types of near field communication (NFC) Cards which are
the Yellow ActivateCard and the Red BlastCard. The system also deploys a white information card for the set of
NFC BlastCards.
The White Information Card contains information on the set of NFC cards as detailed below:
• Blast Card serial number
• Activate card serial number
• Group pin
• RF key
• RF channel
• Version number
• No Activate pin
The User will scan the Yellow ActivateCard on the CE4 Bench
Commander after completion of the connecting and testing of the blast
installation. This should only be performed after the bench has been
cleared of all personnel. Scanning the ActivateCard will place the Bench
Commander in a ‘waiting to arm’ state and this should be undertaken in
accordance with local legislation and prescribed blasting procedures on
site.
A quick activation setting on the Commander is also available. If turned
ON and the unit has had a good scan and testing cycle with no errors, the user will be allowed to scan the yellow
Activation Card and the Bench Commander will proceed to the ‘waiting for arm’ state without being prompted by the
user; connecting the Tagger. This function is known as AutoArm.
The yellow ActivateCard can be swiped to obtain the RF setup information on the Bench and Base Commanders.
The Red BlastCard, when scanned at the Base Commander during an RF
Multi-bench Commander blast, or at the Bench Commander during a local
blast, will issue the Arm and Fire Commands.
The ARM and FIRE commands for detonators will not initially be known to
the DigiShot
®
Plus 4G Commander. These commands are only available
from the Red BlastCard and will be issued to the DigiShot
®
Plus 4G
Commander when the BlastCard is scanned. The ARM and FIRE blasting
commands are erased from the DigiShot
®
Plus 4G Commander memory
after use.
