The following temperature limitations apply to the DigiShot
®
Plus Tagger:
Storage temperature: -20˚C / -4˚F to +60˚C / +140˚F
Operational temperature: -30°C/ -22°F to +60°C / +140°F
The DigiShot
®
Plus Tagger should never be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
Battery life is influenced by the conditions in which the DigiShot
®
Plus Tagger operates.
Lower temperatures can dramatically reduce the capacity of the battery.
Should the Tagger be stored for an extended period, it is recommend that the Tagger
be charged to approximately 50%. Thereafter the unit should be charged at least
every three months, to 50%, to maintain the expected lifetime of the battery.
Refer to Tagger Storage Mode description under General Information in this manual for detailed information.
Store the DigiShot
®
Plus Tagger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
When cleaning the DigiShot
®
Plus Tagger body, wipe gently using a soft, dry cloth.
Dust on the screen should be blown off before gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth so as to avoid scratches.
Ensure the Pogo pin connector and Harness Wire terminals are clean and dust free
If the terminals are exposed to explosives and contaminated or worn, the top connector adapter should be
replaced to avoid communication errors.
The system is also designed to be immune (within limits) to Radio Frequency Interference (RF) but it is
advised that two-way radios be kept at least 5m away from control equipment (Blasters) during Programming,
Arming and Firing as communication between the blaster and DigiShot
®
Plus detonators may be corrupted.
DigiShot
®
Plus Taggers are said to be INHERENTLY SAFE because they cannot produce the necessary
minimum required firing voltage to blast the electronic DigiShot
®
detonator. It is also unable to produce the
encoded FIRING SIGNAL necessary to initiate a blast.
The DigiShot
®
Tagger must NEVER be connected to a normal electric detonator and
should never be connected to detonators while being charged.
