Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9403771A1] The invention concerns a device for the sequential firing of electrical detonators in several firing circuits, the device consisting of a detonating machine, electric leads and switches for activating the firing circuits. The detonating machine (1) is connected by a lead (2) to an electronic firing switch (3) to which are connected the firing circuits (13a... 13n) which consist of one or more series-connected electrical detonators (14a... 14n) and explosive charges (4a... 4n) designed to be detonated by the detonators, the electronic firing switch (3) consisting of a firing-current detection circuit (7), a logic circuit (8), switching relays (10a... 10n), a power supply (9) and protective resistors (11a... 11n).
