blasting machine equipment intended to supply electrical energy to a circuit of electric detonators to initiate them 3.2
sequential blasting machine blasting machine incorporating a means to control the sequence of firing of the electric detonators connected to it SIST EN 13763-26:2004



EN 13763-26:2004 (E) 8 3.3
blasting machine checker equipment specifically designed for connection to a blasting machine’s output terminals to verify that the machine’s output performance is within the operating limits specified by its manufacturer and that it is capable of initiating the maximum number of detonators claimed NOTE
Blasting machine checkers are usually supplied by the blasting machine manufacturer and are designed for use with a particular type of machine. They are designed to allow the blasting machine user to perform periodic checks to verify that the machine is functioning correctly before it is used on site. The indication provided by checkers may vary from one type to another. For example, some have a simple “Go/No-Go” indicator lamp and others have analogue or digital displays capable of indicating the blasting machine’s actual output energy. In some E.U. member state countries, the regular use of such checkers is required by national legislation as part of a users “blasting machine maintenance scheme”. 3.4
initiating circuit electrical circuit intended to be connected to a blasting machine, consisting of shot firing cable, electric detonators, detonator leading wires and any extensions to them by connecting wires 3.5
field circuit tester instrument intended for measuring, checking, or testing an initiating circuit outdoors on site, usually before an attempt is made to initiate the detonators with a blasting machine 3.6
continuity and resistance tester type of field circuit tester, intended for measuring, checking or testing the continuity and resistance of an initiating circuit 3.7
continuity and impedance tester type of field circuit tester, intended for measuring, checking or testing the continuity and impedance of an alternating current initiating circuit at a frequency specified by the manufacturer 3.8
circuit insulation tester type of field circuit tester, intended to measure, check or test the electrical resistance of the insulation between the main electrical conductors in an initiating circuit and the general mass of earth 3.9
connecting wires electrically insulated conductors that can be connected between the shot-firing cable and the detonator leading wire NOTE Connecting wires are normally used only once in service because they are located so close to the explosive devices that they are usually damaged by the explosive blast. 3.10
maximum initiating circuit resistance
(Re) maximum electrical resistance of a particular configuration of an electrical detonator initiating circuit. NOTE The maximum initiating circuit resistance is given by the equation.
