Introduction
Electronic blasting systems continue to add major value in overall mining efficiency,
environmental protection, and safety. The DigiShot Plus 4G Initiation System from Dyno
Nobel is the market leader in advanced blasting technology ensuring the best blast,
on time, every time. The system is now well known for its ease of use resulting in fast
deployment and programming, eliminating costly blast delays.

Features Tagging Modes

Time Assignment for Non-Complex
 Blasts:
 • The CE4 Tagger simply assigns a time to
 each detonator – manually or with automatic
 increments.
 • When connected to the harness wire, the
 Commander automatically discovers and
 tests detonators with increased speed and
 performance.
