Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting during blasting operations

• 1) When you can’t control the screen
• a) Safety standby
• After blasting/discharge, the screen is not operated in the safe waiting state,
• Do not enter the site during the safe waiting time and then turn off the blasting machine power.
• b ) Blaster wireless control operation
• There is no screen manipulation while the blasting machine is wirelessly controlled.
• However, if the blasting must be stopped urgently by the on-site personnel, pressing the power button for 5 seconds will display the power off dialog box, so the power can be turned off.
• c) Reset the device by pressing the power button of the abnormal status of functions such as non-touchable/screen stop/screen break for at least 30 seconds.
• d) When the touch is wrong or a certain part is not touched
  • Check the screen for moisture or foreign substances.
  • Check if the screen is damaged and cracked → Request A/S.
  • Perform touch correction: Touch the screen with three fingers while pressing the left and right buttons for about 40 seconds. Follow the instructions on the screen when performing the correction function afterwards.
• 2) No wireless communication
• a) After pairing, change the radio channel, ID, or device mode (Remote, Blaster, Repeater) of any of the paired devices.
• The pairing information is initialized, so pairing must be restarted.
• b) On the remote blasting network check screen, ‘xx blasting machine is not ready for blasting’
• After downloading the detonator information, you should select wireless blasting by selecting the blasting mode.
• c) ‘No communication with xx device’ indication
  • Check the battery condition.
  • Check the antenna engagement.
  • Check the waiting status of blasting.
  • Check that the line of sight is secured.
  • If LoS is not secured, it is installed in a place that can be secured.
  • If LoS cannot be secured, consider using Repeater..
• d) The communication is not working box
  • Check the condition of the antenna.
  • After changing the radio channel remotely, the pairing is performed again to try.
  • Check that the line of sight is secured.
  • If LoS is not secured, it is installed in a place that can be secured.
  • If LoS cannot be secured, consider using Repeater.
• 3) Blaster does not communicate with the detonator
• a) Check the condition of the harness wire: Perform resistance measurement, etc.
• b) Checking the condition of the binding post: Check if mud or foreign substances are stuck.
• c) Make sure the download data matches the detonator you are currently communicating with.
• 4) If you lose your password, request an A/S..
• 5) Not charging
• Flip the USB-C cable and try to tighten it.
• Check the USB-C port or cable for damag.
• Try another charge.
• 6) Damage to blasting shears, harness wires, and bus sheaths (Short)
• Symptoms
• Blaster can’t communicate if both wires are peeled off and shorted to each other
• Solution
• Check the cover of the bus.
• The harness wire must be checked, and the coating of the knotted part for fixing may come off, and the coating at the end may come off and touch.
• To find the short circuit, check by cutting the lines sequentially from 1/2 of the connected harness wire (this method is faster on average than the sequential verification method)
• 7) Faulty contact of track (Hanneswire, blasting bus)
• Symptoms
  • ‘DISCONNECTED’ message when harness wire or blasting bus is open circuit
• Solution
  • Make sure the wire is properly connected to the blaster connection terminal.
  • Check the connection between the harness wire and the blasting bus, and if there is no problem, check if the line is cut in the middle.

Troubleshooting after blasting

• 1) How to dispose of the misfired hall
• a) Check the location of the unexploded hole and check if each line is visible.
• b) Remove the covering at the end of each line and perform ID check using the logger and planner (ID check is possible by the logger alone)
• c) For re-communication and re-explosion, connect each line of the unexploded hole to the mother line using an auxiliary mother line.
• d) If the ID is checked by ID Check, enter the ID and second time by manually entering the planner and try to re-wave it
• e) If you don’t know the ID, enter a random ID and 0ms per second in the logger and try to rewave it. At this time, the random ID entered will appear as NC, and the global detonator will be identified once, and the global initial time will be entered into the detonator and detonated.
• 2) Cause analysis based on re-communication & re-explosion results

• 3) Misfire the detonator: PCB damage
• a) Symptom : Damage to the power supply or communication unit
  • If you try to communicate again, NC can come up.
  • If only the communication response unit is damaged, a reboot may be possible.

Symptom : Damage to firing block

• If you try to re-communicate, you can communicate, but it doesn’t trigger.

• Solution If possible, connect and attempt to re-explode to 0ms, and retrieve if not detonated.
• 4) Misfire the detonator : Capacitor damage
• Symptom : Damage to Power capacitor
• Failure may occur, and if recovery and re-explosion are attempted, the charging voltage may not be sufficient and thus the operation may not be performed or the discharging may be accelerated.
• It may be possible to detonate if you try to detonate again at 0ms or short seconds, but it is not detonated at long seconds

Symptom : Damage to firing capacitor

• Failure can occur, and recovery and communication are successful without any problems, but if you try to restart, it may be detonated at 0ms or short seconds, but it is not detonated at the beginning of the market.

• If the solution is possible, try to re-explode it at 0ms by connecting it, and if it is not detonated, recover it and take action according to the criteria for disposing of the non-explosion product.
• 5) Misfire the detonator: forehead damage
• Symptoms: Breakage of ignition jade or falling solder area..
• In this case, a reboot attempt is not triggered.
• Recall the solution and take action according to the criteria for disposal of non-conforming products.
• 6) Precautions when entering the site
• When entering before blasting, take a discharge action before entering.
  • Press the [BACK] button during arming or on the blasting standby screen to discharge.
  • To discharge naturally, turn off the blaster and wait for 10 minutes..
• To check the blasting results after blasting, enter the blasting site after waiting 10 minutes for the natural discharge time. After 10 minutes, all of the detonation energy is discharged naturally, so it is safe.
• Ensure that the detonator of the unexploded hole is alive only with a logger, and communicate in a safe place in preparation for the risk of explosion.
