ARES-M
Remote Blasting Machine
Remote blasting machine ARES-M is designed to remotely explode electric detonators.
ARES-M consists of one control/transmitter unit and up to four firing/receiver units.
The control unit is used to send commands to the receiver units and monitor the status of each receiver unit. The receivers are connected to the blasting line and detonators. Receivers can explode electric detonators by remote commands from the control unit.
The receivers can be used as expendable (the receiver is destroyed with blasting) or multiple times. Expended receiver can be replaced by pairing a new receiver to the control unit.
Optional repeater can triple the communication range.
