eDev™ II - System Configurations
Converting to the eDev™ II and other Next Generation systems has been made more efficient with software upgrades ensuring no current hardware is obsolete.

Blast Box 610/610C
The Blast Box provides the
voltage and command to fire
the detonators in programmed
sequence. The current Blast Box 610 is a standalone box for firing eDev™ blasts via a wired connection to the detonators. It can be upgraded to eDev™ II by a firmware change. The new Blast Box 610C does not function as a standalone box. It must be integrated into an i-kon™ CEBS system (for centralised blasting in underground mines) and can only be used with eDev™ II detonators.

Scanner 260
A Scanner 260 reads the unique ID numbers on the detonator
flag tags, and downloads the detonator list
via Bluetooth® to the Blast Box 610/610C. The Scanner 260 can
be upgraded to new firmware changes via USB Memory Stick downloads. The Scanner offers inherently safe testing by communicating with and testing the eDev™ II detonators at the face after the scanning process.

Scanner 260
The Next Generation Scanner 260
scans unique ID numbers on the
detonators and allows the
functionality of each detonator
on the face to be tested in a
single operation after the face
has been connected up.
NOTE: The eDev™ II Test Box and
the Scanner 260 are not inherently
safe when used with previous
generation eDev™ detonators and
must therefore be used only with
eDev™ II detonators.
Standard items

Duplex Harness Wire
Faster and easier to use, the duplex wire connects detonators with the Blast Box.

eDev™ II Connector
Designed for at-face efficiency,
the new connector carries signals
between the detonator and the
harness wire.

Blast Design Software
Orica's SHOTPlus™ Blast Design
Software produces printed blast
plans, useful at the face with the
eDev™ II system.

B3000 Blast Box
The i-kon™ CEBS (Centralised
Electronic Blasting System) allows
underground mining operations
to initiate eDev™ II and i-kon™
electronic detonator blasts remotely,
from a convenient and safe control
point usually on the surface. This is accomplished by initiating the blast via Orica's new B3000 Central firing system communicating through a BB 610C Blast Box connected to the eDev™ II round.
