RIOTRONIC X+
User Manual
Figure 4. Connector
Always use a RIOTRONIC X+ bus line to connect several RIOTRONIC X+ detonators. If two
or more rows needed to be connected to each other, use the corresponding replacement
connectors. Put the cable in a flat position inside the connector and close it completely
(Figure 5).
Figure 5. Bus line location inside the connector
The lid of the connectors has two positions when it is closed. When the RIOTRONIC X+
detonator is connected to the line the lid should be closed completely, until the second click
is heard. It is recommended that the lid is only closed until the first click is heard while a bus
line is not being used (both positions can be seen in figure 6). This will facilitate the opening
of the connector later while still protecting it against dust and rocks.

2.2.1. Safety key
The Safety key (RFID card, in Figure 7) is used to authenticate the operator of the
RIOTRONIC X+ Blaster. RFID tag must be tapped on NFC antenna. Unique serial number
from card is stored in Blaster’s memory and Blaster’s serial number is written in card’s
memory. Blaster is equipped with NFC communication antenna. NFC is used to
communicate with Logger and read RFID card to blast authorization. NFC antenna is placed
at the left side of front panel, just above the CHARGE key.
