Remote controlled exploder ATLAS 150 RC

The ATLAS 150 RC is a radio-controlled electronic exploder, designed for remote firing of electric detonators. It is a compact equipment, especially designed for explosive method of entry and other missions requiring low firing line lengths.

It consists of a control unit and 5 receiver units (paired at the factory), packaged in a foamed carrying case. The housings are extremely rugged aluminium, IP 67 waterproof, dark colors, with dominant black and grey. They are particularly well adapted to harsh environments.

The receiver units control each one firing line and integrate a line-continuity test. They are equipped with versatile sockets, allowing to directly clamp the leads or to connect any type of 4 mm banana plugs. They are powered by two cheap and widespread photo lithium batteries, model CR 123.

The control unit allows to remotely control the receiver units individually (only one receiver unit) or simultaneously by group (several receiver units, chosen by the user). Its control panel indicates information from the receiver units : the battery voltage, the state of the radio communication, the level of capacitors’ charge, the faults.

The firing procedure consists in 4 steps : safety delay, arming, charging and firing.
• Arming : buttons Arrow & SEL
• Charging : keep button CH pressed
• Discharge : release button CH
• Firing : keep button CH pressed + button F

This system incorporates many levels of security :
• a secure encrypted communication protocol
• a safety delay
• a multistep firing sequence
• the presence of a shunt on the line
• an automatic capacitors discharge
• a permanent control of the capacitors’ voltage
• simultaneously press 2 buttons to trigger firing
• the firing is made only when the capacitors are fully charged
• safety terminals
• an operation supervision by a microcontroller
• the redundancy of certain functions.
