The DigiShot
®
Plus CE4 Tagger is a lightweight device, which is powered by an internal rechargeable 3.7V
Lithium Polymer cell and has a backlit screen and keypad. The keypad has numerical keys, 4 functional Soft
Keys and various other command keys.
The DigiShot
®
CE4 Tagger is used on the bench or at the face to test
and configure the DigiShot
®
detonators by tagging the detonator’s
location in accordance with a blast plan.
The location tag includes:
Row number
Hole number
Side (left or right of the starting hole)
Detonator number (if multiple detonators per hole are used)
The DigiShot
®
Plus CE4 Tagger can accommodate out of pattern detonators referred to as SPECIALS.
The DigiShot
®
Plus CE4 Tagger has a 2 wire pogo pin connector to which a single DigiShot
®
Plus detonator can
be temporarily connected during the tagging process. The Tagger also has two Harness wire terminals where
the surface harness wires can be attached during testing of a detonator string.
The device is equipped with various user-interface elements including separate LEDs located above the LCD
screen, a buzzer and a vibration motor to draw the user’s attention to the system’s current state.
The DigiShot
®
Plus Tagger is designed for use on the blast front and it is incapable of producing sufficient
voltage and is unable to reproduce the coded signal required to fire any detonators thus rendering the Tagger
inherently safe.
Users can tag up to a maximum of 1800 dets in the multiple channel mode. An option to tag on 6 different
‘channels’ is provided. Each channel operates individually and allows a maximum of 450 detonators. All
functions (Autosearch, Test all, etc.) will prompt the user to select the required channel. Tagger operations
will affect only the currently selected channel and all other channels will remain unaffected.
During tagging, at the end of Test All / Row, Autosearch and Check Pattern, a duplicate
detonator check is performed and the software will check the entire list across all
channels for ‘location exists’ errors, to avoid duplicate detonators
An upgrade to the current CE4 Tagger has been
implemented and a containing “Grid” is now
fitted over the existing keypad.
The Terminals has also been changed from the original
screw type terminals to a more durable Copper Bronze
Plichta type terminal.
The functionality of the Tagger remains the same with only
cosmetic changes to the appearance.
