Initiating Systems Electronic Delay Detonators

HotShot
Electronic Delay Detonators

HotShot is the world's first auto-programmable

electronic initiation system designed to optimise
blasting results. HotShot is user-friendly, simple
to understand, easy to deploy, flexible in a wide
range of blast configurations and offers the
accuracy of an electronic detonator.

The HotShot system is an important advance in

technology and enables users to experience the
precision timing benefits of electronic initiation
systems melded with the easy connectivity options
of current non-electric shock tube systems.
