MEASURING METHOD AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

 

The EXPLOMET-FO-2000 has 5 independent timers measuring the time intervals between the illumination of 6 optical probes.

One of the probes starts all the timers. Then every triggered probe stops its timer.

The result of each timer is displayed in microseconds according to one of the following mode:

Velocity and time : the probes must be illuminated in ascending order:ie 1,2,3,4,5,6. Time intervals are displayed between two consecutive probes.

The Velocity Of Detonation in meter per second is displayed if the corresponding length, between the probes, was introduced.

Time only : the probes are illuminated randomly.

It displays the measuring time in microseconds between the first illuminated probes and the second illuminated probe, then it displays the measured time between the second illuminated probe and the third illuminated probe; and so on third probe and forth probe until a maximum of 5 measures.

NEW : USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE

Menu driven operation on an easy to read 4 lines display

Stores up to 100 results in the internal flash memory

Use WinExplomet, a Window application that comes with the Explored-fo-2000, to transfer the results to a PC via the RS-232 serial interface and convert them to a format readable by most spreadsheet programs..

EASY QUALITY CONTROL

Reliability:

- Advanced and reliable microelectronic technology in a robust eloxed aluminum case.

- The use of fiber optic insure an excellent electrical noise immunity.

Precision:      - time measurement: +/- 0.1 microsecond.

- velocity measurement: better than 0.2 %

Safety:    Distance between the EXPLOMET-FO-2000 and the blasting site: up to 80 m.

- Possibility to install fixed lines.

Easy use:

- the usual knowledge for explosive handling is sufficient to operate the EXPLOMET-FO-2000;the use
