• Connect up to four different benches with sequential timing across all connected Bench Boxes.
• Detonator timing is set as one bench, connected to up to four Bench Boxes.
• When splitting the bench onto multiple Bench Boxes, take into consideration:
o system limits,
o leakage
o and the load required to fire all Bench Boxes successfully.
• All Bench Boxes will receive the fire command at the same time.
• Should one Bench Box fail before the blast is initiated, the problematic Bench Box will send a
message to the Base Station and return to a rearming state. The Base Station will stop the entire
blast.
• The user may attempt re-blasting after improving the communication strength to the Bench Boxes.
It is recommended that RF communication strength be greater than 75%, with the minimum of 60%, for all
Bench Boxes when attempting a synchronised blast – this figure is displayed on the Base Station.
