 All equipment in the field will need to be returned to DetNet South Africa, or an authorised repair centre, for

service at the following intervals:

 When the equipment service date is due or expired.

 Handheld Equipment (Tagger, etc.) – 18 Months.

 Other equipment (DigiShot Ranger, etc., Excluding accessories) – 24 Months.

 Any unauthorised repairs, modification or tampering of the device may comprise the safe operation of

DigiShot Ranger system and is prohibited.



The DigiShot Ranger is installed with a ShockWatch which will be activated if the equipment is mishandled.

In the event the ShockWatch is activated, it must be returned to DetNet SA or an authorised repair centre

for assessment.

 Keep USB ports sealed, using the provided rubber door, to ensure no moisture or dust ingress. Inspect the

USB ports on an ongoing basis to ensure that moisture or dust / grit does not accumulate behind the rubber

door as that could lead to corrosion of the connector. Should any signs of damage or poor sealing be

observed, the equipment must be returned for repairs. An Air Duster can be used to remove dust from the

USB charging socket.

 Periodically check the battery Cell Status indicator displayed on the System Information screen. ‘Good’

indicates a healthy battery state. Should the status indicate ‘Low’ the unit should be serviced to have the

battery replaced.

 General cleaning of equipment will be required when exposed to the mining environment. Use a damp

cloth or preferably baby wipes and a brush to remove dust and any residues.

 Use of cleaning solvent is not advised as this can cause degradation and permanent damage to the

equipment. Refer to solvent manufacturer’s TDS for compatibility information.

 Inspect the Terminals on the Tagger and Rangers ensure that the spring contacts are functional and free

from dirt and residue. Excessive corrosion on the terminals can result in poor electrical connections. If

damaged, the equipment must be returned for repairs.

 As the Tagger contains a Li battery, industry standards and precautions should be followed during charging

of the equipment. Disposal of the equipment and battery is not permitted, and the equipment must be

returned to the supplier in the country for recycling and proper disposal.
