Exel™ Start DS2
The Exel™ Start DS2
is a blasting machine for the safe initiation of Exel™ detonators. It consists of an energy source (battery), a
voltage converter, a capacitor for energy accumulation, an electrode and
pushbuttons to effect initiation. The electrical energy is converted to a
powerful spark, which the electrode emits into the inside of the Exel™ tube to initiate the shock-wave
reaction.
The Exel™ Start DS2
is powered by a standard 9 V alkaline battery that lasts for at least 500
initiations. When the charging button is pressed, the capacitor is charged up
to 2500 V. Pressing the firing button then emits a powerful spark that
initiates the Exel™ tube. Note
that the charging button must be kept depressed throughout, or else the
capacitor will be discharged over an internal resistance. It is easy to change
the electrode.
