Source sentences:
text: The blasting computer then initiates a blast command after acknowledging that all detonators are armed, wherein each detonator functions its initiator to detonate its initiating pellet by electrically connecting a secondary charge potential charged on the secondary energy source to the trigger element of the high voltage switch so as to close the high voltage switch, thus allowing the primary charge potential to function the initiator to detonate the initiating pellet, at the corresponding programmed detonation time.
