HotShot Benefits

The benefits of the HoShot system are as follows

  • Accurate Timing. The HotShot electronic initiation system enables customers to achieve a variety of benefits through accurate timing.

  • Ease-of-Use and Speed of Deployment. Hole-to-hole connections are quick and easy, with large, robust, water-resistant connectors. No individual drillhole logging required - the HotShot Tagger auto-detects the blast layout. Different sections of the blast can be connected at the same time by different people. A minimum number of key presses are required on the Tagger to design the blast. Surface wire layout allows for the visualisation of the firing order along the rows. Based on input from the user, the individual detonator delays are calculated automatically and assigned by the system. Large screen colour graphics provide easy-to-follow operating steps as well as easy-to-view blast visualisations.

  • Blast Design Flexibility. A constant millisecond delay can be selected between drilledholes. The majority of common drilledhole charging configurations can be handled by the system (single column as well as two decks, with either one or two detonators in each hole). Between row delays can be individually programmed. Out-of-pattern holes (e.g., stab holes) can be handled with HotShot Branch Controllers.

  • Safety Features. Software detects and warns of detonator and harness faults. Software highlights blast design and connector errors. Built-in multiple levels of hardware and software security. Password protected HotShot Blast Key and HotShot Tagger. Designed only to be initiated by firing equipment specifically designed for the HotShot system and for the purpose of blasting.
