UTM-00233 | Rev 3 DetNet endeavours to upgrade BlastWeb software annually to comply with new challenges and needs faced by Centralized Blasting users in the market. As new software becomes available, the DetNet version control policy requires that all control equipment be upgraded to ensure support is provided on the latest software version installed on Surface Blast Controllers as deployed on customer sites.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 DetNet safety philosophy is to design, manufacture and provide control equipment, detonators and accessories to the highest safety standards. SmartKeys remains in possession of the accountable person, and should only be used to authorize the blast process at such a time as stipulated by the Mine after completion of the required Risk Assessment. All products must conform to local and international standards before it is sold for use.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE statements are used throughout this manual to emphasise important and critical information. Observe these statements to ensure safety and to prevent product damage. The statements are defined as follows: A WARNING MEANS THAT INJURY OR DEATH IS POSSIBLE IF THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT OBEYED. Warnings draw special attention to anything that could injure or kill the reader/user. Warnings are generally placed before the step in the procedure they relate to.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 DetNet South Africa has not approved any changes or modifications to this device by the user. Any changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. DetNet South Africa n’approuve aucune modification apportée à l’appareil par l’utilisateur, quelle qu’en soit la nature. Tout changement ou modification peuvent annuler le droit d’utilisation de l’appareil par l’utilisateur.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 The RF repeater is a communication device designed to amplify or regenerate data signals in order to transfer RF communication signals between the Bench Box and Base Station. The RF Repeater function is to receive a signal from a Base Station or Bench Box which has weakened as a result of being propagated over a long distance or other electromagnetic interference.

UTM-00233 | Rev 3 Figure 4: Installed Repeater Mount the RF Repeater unit on a 75-100mm diameter pole Secure the unit to the pole using the pole clamps and mounting plates with M8 nuts, washers and spring washers, using a 13mm spanner. Ensure that no metal objects are in line of sight of both the Bench Box(es) and the Base Station which may cause interference with the signal.

UTM-00233 | Rev 3 The RF Repeater is compatible with either 115VAC or 230VAC mains supply The required supply voltage have to be configured during production and has to be specified on the order. The Mains Protection PCB provides over current protection and over voltage protection. • • • NEVER CONNECT 115VAC TO A RF REPEATER CONFIGURED FOR A 220VAC SUPPLY NEVER CONNECT 230VAC TO A RF REPEATER CONFIGURED FOR A 115VAC SUPPLY NEVER CONNECT 525VAC TO A RF REPEATER.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 Install solar panel close to RF Repeater, keeping the cable between the repeater and solar panels as short as possible Adjustable bracket Bracket rail Loosen bolts on top adjustable bracket Adjust bracket to fit width of solar panel Tighten nuts to hold adjustable bracket in place Slide solar panel into place along bracket rail Secure bracket to the solar panel from the back of the solar panel using the eight screw provided Adjustable bracket Solar Panel Solar Panel mounting screws
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 Loosen the two nuts on pole clamp Open the pole clamp and insert the arm between the pole clamps Secure and tighten the pole clamps Loosen the two nuts on the pole clamp Clamp around a 75-100mm diameter pole Secure and tighten pole clamps Page 16 of 20 DetNet South Africa Copyright © 2019
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 Southern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face north for the longest exposure to sunlight per day Northern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face south for the longest exposure to sunlight per day Adjust tilt position with the season change for optimal results. Loosen the two nuts on the pole clamp attached to the bracket Swivel solar panel up or down for best results Tighten and secure nuts.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 When ordering a RF Repeater, country selection must be supplied as the regulatory allowable channel-frequency settings can only be set in the factory. Ensure that the Base Station / Bench Box is set to the correct country when configuring the system in the field.
UTM-00233 | Rev 3 Ensure that the mains supply is switched off and there is no mains Voltage present. Loosen the plastic gland, insert 3 core mains cable. Thread the mains cable round around the PSU to the Mains Input 3 way screw terminals on the Main Protection PCB.
