Classification: Restricted System/Product: DigiShot 600 Document Ref: TDS-00036 Revision: 1 Document Type: TDS-Technical Data Sheet Current Author: Deon Hauptfleisch Title: DigiShot Ranger System Original Author: Deon Hauptfleisch Page: Page 1 of 9 APPROVER APPROVER SIGNATURE SIGNATURE DATE ISSUE DATE Herman van der Walt X Signed by: HvdWalt 2021/12/07 2021/12/07 Approved documents are only valid if they contain an “APPROVED” stamp on the first page and both the revision number and the issue date of the document correspond with the electronic document control system. 1 DIGISHOT ® RANGER SYSTEM (CE4 COMMANDER DS600) TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 1.1 Product Description The DigiShot ® Ranger (CE4 Commander DS600) form part of the 4th generation Control Equipment (CE4) designed and developed by DetNet South Africa and consists of two principal devices, namely the DigiShot ® Ranger (CE4 Commander DS600) and CE4 Tagger, as well as various other system components interacting to facilitate safe testing and blasting of electronic detonators. 2 TECHNICAL DATA 2.1 CE4 Tagger The CE4 Tagger is an inherently safe multi-functional device that can be used for on-bench operations such as assigning detonator times, testing communication, testing leakage of detonator installation, and verification of desired blast layout. The CE4 Tagger is inherently safe as its battery and output voltage are below minimum firing voltage of the detonator and the Tagger cannot issue the encrypted blasting commands (i.e. ARM and FIRE commands). The CE4 Tagger interfaces via an encrypted Wi-Fi communication link with a Base DigiShot ® Ranger (CE4 Commander DS600) during the blast process. The Base DigiShot ® Ranger (CE4 Commander DS600) will then instruct the connected and enabled Bench DigiShot ® Ranger (CE4 Commander DS600) with the blast instruction via the BlastCard (NFC Card).

External Connectors A series of detonator connections exist for different application purposes. Replaceable Tagger to detonator connector head. USB Connector for data extraction and charging. Operating time from a fully charged battery Approximately 10 hours at 25 °C (77°F). Operating time is influenced by detonator load, backlight settings and operational temperature. At temperatures below -15 °C (5°F) battery life may be reduced significantly. Wi-Fi The Tagger is equipped with short range Wi-Fi communication capability between system devices. Such as the CE4 Tagger and DigiShot ® Ranger (CE4 Commander DS600). Operating frequency 2.412GHz – 2.457GHz @ 63mW. Near Field Communication (Version 4 and later models) The CE4 Tagger (version 4 and later) is equipped with a Near Field Communication (NFC) reader located on the rear of the Tagger. NFC functionality will be activated in a future software release. Wireless Charging Tagger Hardware Version: V4 or higher Charger Compatibility: Qi Power transfer: 5W maximum Charging current: 1A maximum Charging time: 6-8 hours typically, depending on charger alignment and power transfer achieved Operatin g frequency 130kHz (Receive only) Software upgrade Software upgrade is via the USB connector on the CE4 Tagger, and a flash drive. Water and dust resistance IP 57.
