Product Description
The BME Electric Centralized Blasting System (CBS) provides continuous near real-time local system monitoring with remote access monitoring capabilities.
Features
The continuous monitoring feature built into the system ensures that an up-to-date Centralized Blasting System status and overview are available. This feature greatly improves the pre- and post-blasting decision-making process.
It also provides section and / or level isolation and data information from the connected blasting boxes. Continuous out-going monitoring of the downstream blasting boxes for short circuit and earth leakage detection.
The Centralized Blasting System, which is modular in design, consists of:
- A Centralized Control Box which is installed on surface,
- Several Centralized Section Boxes (one for each level / section).
- Centralized Blasting Boxes located at blasting points throughout the mine.
- The outgoing supply cable is independently fed from inter-level cable during the monitoring mode and enables easy fault finding.
- Information and data downloading occurs within the blasting boxes.
- The system operates over a wide supply voltage range of 160 - 250V AC.
Safety
- Central point for blasting (centralized blasting), with the blasting signal power available from only this one point (surface control room).
- Can be individually isolated from the supply cable network using the key switch.
- Unit will only fire if it is connected to a CBS.
- The firing key is removable in the OFF position only ensuring that unauthorised firing cannot take place.
- Blasting Box enclosure cannot close with firing key in position.
- Firing cannot be initiated when either a cable fault or an alarm is set.
- The cable fault and alarm condition must be cleared prior to switching to ready mode.
- If the mains is interrupted at any time the alarm light and buzzer are activated, and remain activated until the reset button is pressed.
