A fire control unit includes a control module and first terminals that are designed to receive a firing line to which a set of electronic detonators is linked additionally includes second terminals that are designed to receive a synchronization line to which a second fire control unit is linked, and a switch that may be configured according to multiple configurations such that the controller may be connected to or disconnected from the first terminals or the second terminals, respectively, and that the first terminals and the second terminals may be connected to or disconnected from one another.

Fire control unit for a set of detonators and firing system

A system for triggering includes a plurality of electronic detonator assemblies (), where each electronic detonator assembly () is connected to a leading wire () linked to a local fire control unit (). At least one of the local fire control units (S) includes an electronic synchronization module () connected to a leading wire linked to a master local fire control unit (M), which is one of the local fire control units (). The system is suitable for use in triggering a plurality of electronic detonator assemblies () according to a single blasting pattern.
