  • READER APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR VERIFYING ELECTROPNIC DETONATOR POSITION LOCATIONS AT A BLASTING SITE
    Publication number: 20140026775
    Abstract: Portable data reader apparatus and methods are presented for verifying electronic detonator locations at a blasting site in which the reader electronically interrogates one or more detonators connected to wires accessible at the blasting site and receives a detonator serial ID number. The reader searches an internal data store or wirelessly queries an external device to obtain a position number corresponding to the received detonator serial ID number and displays the position number to the user.
