Figure 1. RIOTRONIC X+ System
The RIOTRONIC X+ system uses proprietary bi-directional communication between the
RIOTRONIC X+ detonators and the RIOTRONIC X+ Blaster and the RIOTRONIC X+ Logger.
This type of communication between the RIOTRONIC X+ detonators and the units:
 Allows each RIOTRONIC X+ detonator to be programmed with a unique delay.
 Ensures that tests can be executed at the shot and from the firing station.
 Controls the energy of each RIOTRONIC X+ detonator up to the moment of firing.
 Reports any anomaly to the operator, identifying the type of problem and the
RIOTRONIC X+ detonator involved
 Prevents initiation unless commanded by a RIOTRONIC X+ Blaster.
This technology makes it possible to control the precision of the firing sequence and allows
overall supervision of a correctly implemented safety procedure for blasting.
2.1. RIOTRONIC X+ Detonator
The RIOTRONIC X+ detonator is an electronic detonator and it is the main part of the
system. It consists of a connector, cable and an electronic detonator (Figure 2).
