TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
 • DriftShot must be transported, stored, handled and used in conformity with all federal,
 state, provincial and local laws and regulations.
 • For maximum shelf life (5 years), DriftShot must be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated

DRIFTSHOT® CUSTOMER BENEFITS - continued
 • With safety always Dyno Nobel’s #1 priority, DriftShot
Electronic Initiation System detonators are all rugged and water resistant. They are ESD Resistant, RF Resistant,
 Cable Abrasion & Cutting Resistant and meet CEN TS 13763-27, the European
 Standards of Compliance for Electronic Detonators.
Case Dimensions
 • In addition, the BCU or portable BCU, requires a Smart Key plus a password and
 40.5 x 29.25 x 28.5 cm 16 x 11.5 x 11.25 in coded signal to fire which provides an extra level of security.

UNIQUE FEATURES
Hookup Diagram • The DriftShot Tagger is a unique, professionally designed, blaster-friendly, hand-
 held tool used to identify the borehole location with minimal key strokes. The Tagger
 can be used to test an individual detonator or the entire circuit prior to leaving the
 heading. The Tagger, together with the DriftShot BCU, enables initiation of the blast
 from a point of safety. Easy-to-follow screen menus lead the blaster through all
 underground operations.
 • No Delay Assignment at the Face The blaster simply hooks the detonators onto the
 busline and the Tagger identifies the delay period and number of detonators of that
 period contained in the blast. All timing is done by the BCU.
 • The DriftShot BCU contains pre-loaded delay firing templates from which the blaster
 can choose.
