2. INTRODUCTION TO RFD SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
2.1. SYSTEM.
2.1.1. The RFD is a battery powered, hand held, radio remote controlled system to
be used on land as a primary firing mechanism to detonate explosive charges. The
RFD system consists of a Controller Unit and 8 Remote Units.
2.1.2. The Controller Unit and Remote Units in one system will not operate with
Units from another system.
2.1.3. The RFD is transportable over land, underwater to a depth of 100 feet, and in
the air to an altitude of 30,000 feet. The units are shock resistant (5 feet to concrete)
and impervious to static discharge.
2.1.4. The RFD will operate in a temperature range of -22 ºF to + 140 ºF.
2.1.5. The system has two modes of operation; the one-way (out of range) and the
two-way (in range) mode.
2.1.5.1. Range for one-way mode is greater than 5 miles typically.
2.1.5.2. Range for two-way mode is up to 1 mile typically.
2.1.6. The RFD System consists of the component parts in Table 2-1. The total
system is shown and identified in Figure 2-1.
