THE ULTIMATE DIGISHOT®
 BLAST INITIATION SYSTEM
 DESIGNED WITH SAFETY AND
 PERFORMANCE AT ITS CORE

Ranger Initiation System
The DigiShot Ranger was designed explicitly for the open cut, quarry, civil,
and construction industries. It has been vastly improved from its DigiShot 300
predecessor, providing twice the detonator capacity, updated weatherproof
enclosure with a built-in antenna for longer range RF up to 1.86 miles, which makes
it more robust for quick and easy deployment.

 location-based tagging with sides, rows,

 • This option allows the user to tag the
 detonators’ location and later send the
 delays to the detonators via the Tagger
 when all detonators are connected to the
 harness wire.

Dyno Nobel is striving towards
 excellence in electronic initiation.
 Our goal is to deliver world-class
 safety, the latest technology,
 and consistent quality, resulting
 in improved loading and
 fragmentation, to ensure sustainable
 mining today and into the future.

ViewShot Xpress
ViewShot Xpress is a user-friendly and
straightforward application that can run on a
tablet, PC, or mobile phone. ViewShot Xpress
can design a simple blast on the bench, which
can be downloaded onto the CE4 Tagger. The
planned tagging method is now accessible to
the small-scale mine with the same tagging
and blasting efficiency that was previously only
available to large mining operations.

The Ranger
This is a multi-purpose device used as a Bench Ranger and a Base Ranger and
controls the entire blast. The Ranger limits the user interface through automatic
detonator detection, testing, and fast programming.

Wirelessly controlled by the CE4 Tagger or tablet*, the Ranger has two channels that
can connect up to 300 detonators each, giving a total capacity of 600 detonators per
Ranger.

The Ranger boasts a unique and robust design, with a built-in long-range antenna
that can handle the harshest mining conditions

The blast is initiated with wireless NFC (Near Field Communication) Blast Cards.
