Operation Page 4.1.1
Normal Operation Overview of Shot Pro II System:
• The operator of the mobile system (the Shooter) first finds the cap
location and follows the safety guidelines similar to those outlined
in the safety section of this manual.
• The Shooter then records the position of the shot with the GPS
receiver. This is done by using the keypad and display on the front
panel of the SPII Unit.
• The flag number used for this shot point is then selected or entered
on the SPII Unit.
• The geophone and cap leads are then connected to the SPII unit and
impedance of each line is tested using the Test Menu of the SPII
Unit.
• After verification of geophone and cap connections, the cap lines

should be shorted together to avoid accidental explosion.
• The Shooter then waits for the Observer in the Recording Truck to
signal him that he is ready for the shot.
• When the Observer is ready, the shooter connects the cap leads to
the SPII Unit and again tests for proper connection.
• The Shooter makes sure he is not touching the high voltage lines,
enters the Arm Mode and presses the charge and arm buttons on the
SPII unit.
• When the SPII is charged and ready, the unit can automatically
notify the Recording Truck or the Shooter can manually notify the
observer verbally.
• The Advance II ESG, VibPro ESG or SPII Encoder, in the recording

unit, then sends a start code over the radio (or wireline) to
initiate the blast.
• The SPII Unit receives this code and compares the unit's start code,
crew ID # and ID # with the start code, crew ID # and ID #
transmitted. If they match, the unit fires the cap.
• The SPII records and stores the Analog geophone signal and
determines uphole time.
• The SPII Unit then automatically sends all information back to the
Recording Truck.
01Mar06
I:\LISD Manuals\Pelton\ShotPro 2\SPCH04.DOC
Operation Page 4.1.2
• Exactly 1 second after the blast, a pulse appears on the Analog
output of the Encoder which confirms the reception of the digital
message from the SPII Unit. This signal is called Decoded Clock
Time Break.
• At 1.5 seconds the Confirmation Time Break signal appears.
• At 2.0 seconds the Analog uphole signal is reproduced.
• The computer in the recording truck will display the uphole signal,
the uphole time pick, GPS position, flag number, results of all
tests, and other critical parameters. There is also a comment field
for the Observer to enter data (like tape and file number) to the
record. All of the data is stored to disk with a time and date
stamp for later analysis. The Shot Pro Software program allows the
shots to be reviewed and comments to be edited.
• The data is also automatically stored, up to 500, in the Encoder and

Decoder SPII Unit and can be downloaded at the day’s end.

ESG Operation Page 5.1.1
ADVANCE II ESG OPERATION
The Advance II ESG can be used to control both vibroseis and dynamite
operation. Refer to Advance II ESG Manual for more detailed information
on installation and operation. This text explains the requirements for
using the Advance II ESG with the Shot Pro II System.
REQUIREMENTS:
Advance II ESG Version 5 or 6
Version 5H or 6C Firmware or later
Computer Communication System
Vibra*Sig Module must be modified for high baud rate option.
ESG Set Up for Shot Pro II

• Enter Sweep type 500 for SPII operation.
• Select vibrator number to match SPII unit ID number. Setting the
vibrator number to 15 enables all Shot Pro Units.
• Select sweep number to match SPII Decoder Crew ID number. Use
sequence number thumbwheel to select proper sweep number.
• Enable the vibrator start switch to allow the SPII's ready tone to
fire the ESG.
• Load the special Stored Values sweep if timing marks are desired.
See SPII sweep at end of this section.
• Select correct Stored Values sweep number.
• Set ESG to Stored Values Mode.
Start Time Test:

To adjust start time compare the time break of the ESG to the high
voltage output of the SPII. Use Selection 6 on ESG to align the time
break signals.
RADIO REF DELAY

The Radio Reference in the ESG can be used to provide timing marks for
the following signals on the Radio Vib line (See Fig. 1 page 5.1.5):
• Decoded Clock Time Break (1.0 sec.)

• Conformation Time Break (1.5 sec.)
• Uphole Signal (2.0 sec.)
After setting up Selection 6 with the Start Time Test, use selection 20
to delay the Radio Reference pulse at one second to align with the
Decoded Clock Time Break signal on the Radio Vib line.
01Mar06
ANALOG CONFIRMATION AND UPHOLE SIGNALS
The Advance II ESG and the SPII Encoder both output an analog signal to
the Recording System for Confirmation of proper Decoder operation. Three
signals Decoded Clock Time Break, Confirmation Time Break and the Uphole
Signal are time multiplexed on this one analog line. (See Fig. 1 page
5.1.5 and Fig. 2 page 7.1.13)
DECODED CLOCK TIME BREAK

This signal appears on the analog line at about 1 second. It corresponds
to the Application of voltage to the cap terminals at the decoder. This
signal is decoded from the returning PFS (Post Fire Service) data from
the Decoder. If the Decoder fires late this signal will be delayed, if
the Decoder fires early this signal will be early. Confirmation Time
Break and Uphole Signal are delayed by .5 and 1 sec after Decoded Clock
Time Break as a reference, respectively.
CONFIRMATION TIME BREAK

The Confirmation Time Break pulse occurs exactly 0.5 sec plus
Confirmation Time Break delay after the Decoded Clock Time Break. The
Confirmation Time Break Delay is defined as the amount of time between
when the Fire Pulse occurs and the current starts flowing over 4 amps.
If the current does not flow by the end of fire time (4 mSec), then this
pulse will not occur. If this happens, the Decoder assumes the cap did
not fire.
UPHOLE SIGNAL
The analog Uphole Signal recorded by the Decoder is reproduced exactly
1.0 second after the Decoded Clock Time Break Signal.
ALTERNATING VIBRATOR/DYNAMITE OPERATION

Set all vibrator units to a different start code than the Shot Pro Units.
For the dynamite operation select a sweep number with sweep type set to
500. Use an unused vibrator sequence number for dynamite operation.
For example Sequence O is used for vibrator operation. It selects start

code O and a sweep number 1. Sweep number 1 has the Vibrator Production
sweep.
Sequence 1 is used for dynamite. It selects start code 1 and sweep

number 2. Sweep number 2 is used for dynamite shooting.
Sweep number 2 uses sweep type 500. The vibrator number of 15 can be set
to enable all Shot Pro Units. Several sequence numbers can be used to
address individual Decoder Units.
01Mar06
Wire Line Communications
Communications between an Advance II Encode Sweep Generator or SPII
Encoder and SPII Decoder(s) may be accomplished by wire rather than by
radio. To do this, connect pins A and B of the five pin radio connector
together and connect them to one wire in the cable to be used for
communication. Connect pins C and E of the five pin radio connector
together and connect them to another wire in the communication cable.
Wire line communications should be satisfactory over several miles of
cable. There are no provisions for voice communications through the
SPII‘s, but using the paralleling intercom units on the same wire pair
should not cause a problem.
Shot Pro II Sweep Definition
To make a Stored Values sweep for Version 5 ESG’s in SPII operation,
define the sweep as follows:
Notes:
The amplitude for Amplitude Segment 0 and the lengths of Amplitude
Segments 1 and 3 are different for Version 5 and Version 6 sweeps.

Vib Pro Operation Page 5.2.1
ADVANCE III VIB PRO ENCODER OPERATION
The Advance III Encoder can be used to control both vibroseis and
dynamite operation. Refer to Advance III Vib Pro Manual for more
detailed information on installation and operation. This text explains
the requirements for using the Advance III Encoder with the SPII System.
Encoder Set Up for Shot Pro II

• Disable Radio Similarity.
• Select ID number to match SPII unit ID number.
• Select the special S.P. sweep type 6 (ShotP) if timing marks are
desired.
• Set crew number and start code number in encoder to match SPII Unit.
An entry of 15 in crew number at Decoder enables starts with all
selected crew numbers.
Start Time Test:

The SPII radio interface in the VPRO Mode is identical to the Advance III
vibrator electronics. If the SPII is using the same radio and connection
as the Vibrator Electronics then the start time should be identical.
To adjust start time compare the time break of the ESG to the high
voltage output of the SPII. Use Encoder delay entry in the Encoder to
align the time break signals.
RADIO REF DELAY

The Radio Reference in the Encoder can be used to provide timing marks
for the following signals on the Radio Vib line (See Fig. 5 page 5.2.5):
• Decoded Clock Time Break (1.0 sec.)
• Conformation Time Break (1.5 sec.)
After setting up Encoder delay with the Start Time Test, Radio Reference
Delay to delay the Radio Reference pulse at one second to align with the
Decoded Clock Time Break signal on the Radio Vib line.
ANALOG CONFIRMATION AND UPHOLE SIGNALS

The Advance III Encoder and the SPII Encoder both output an analog signal
to the Recording System for Confirmation of proper Decoder operation.
Three signals Decoded Clock Time Break, Confirmation Time Break and the
Uphole Signal are time multiplexed on this one analog line. (See Fig. 5
page 5.2.5 and Fig. 2 page 7.1.13)
01Mar06

Vib Pro Operation Page 5.2.2
DECODED CLOCK TIME BREAK
This signal appears on the analog line at about 1 second. It corresponds
to the Application of voltage to the cap terminals at the decoder. This
signal is decoded from the returning PFS (Post Fire Service) data from
the Decoder. If the Decoder fires late this signal will be delayed, if
the Decoder fires early this signal will be early. Confirmation Time
Break and Uphole Signal are delayed by .5 and 1 sec after Decoded Clock
Time Break as a reference, respectively.
CONFIRMATION TIME BREAK
The Confirmation Time Break pulse occurs exactly 0.5 sec plus
Confirmation Time Break delay after the Decoded Clock Time Break. The
Confirmation Time Break Delay is defined as the amount of time between
when the Fire Pulse occurs and the current starts flowing over 4 amps.
If the current does not flow by the end of fire time (4 mSec), then this
pulse will not occur. If this happens, the Decoder assumes the cap did
not fire.
UPHOLE SIGNAL
The analog Uphole Signal recorded by the Decoder is reproduced exactly
1.0 second after the Decoded Clock Time Break Signal.
ALTERNATING VIBRATOR/DYNAMITE OPERATION
Set all Vib Pro Units and SPII Units to unique ID numbers. By placing
only the desired ID numbers in the active Vib group any combination of
Vibrator only, SPII only or both can be selected. In addition the start
code or crew number can be used to identify unique boxes.
For example Sequence 1 is used for vibrator operation. It selects start
code O, a sweep #1, crew #15 and Group A. Sweep #1 has the Vibrator
Production sweep.
Sequence 2 is used for dynamite. It selects start code 1 and sweep #2,
crew #1 and Group B. Sweep number 2 is used for dynamite shooting.
Sweep #2 uses sweep type = SHOTP. In this example the selected SPII ID#
is only in Group B. Several sequence numbers can be used to address
individual Decoder Units.
Wire Line Communications

Communications between an Advance III Encoder or SPII Encoder and
Decoder(s) may be accomplished by wire rather than by radio. To do this,
connect pins A and B of the five pin radio connector together and connect
them to one wire in the cable to be used for communication. Connect pins
C and E of the 5 pin radio connector together and connect them to another
wire in the communication cable. Wire line communications should be
satisfactory over several miles of cable. There are no provisions for
voice communications through the Shot Pros, but using the paralleling
intercom units on the same wire pair should not cause a problem.

Master/Slave 6.4.1
MASTER/SLAVE and REPEATER MODES
The SPII unit can be used as a Master Encoder, a Slave Encoder or a
Repeater. The Repeater Mode is identical to the Slave Mode except the
Repeater does not have a Recording System attached.
In the Master/Slave/Repeater Mode (See Figure 3 page 6.4.3) the Master

Encoder receives a start from the recording system then sends the Master
Start Code. The Master START CODE consist of a BOX ID # and a CREW ID #.
For the Slave/Repeater to receive these codes the Slave/Repeater must be
set to the same START CODE as the Master.
After the Slave/Repeater receives the Master START CODE, the slave
outputs a pulse on the RecStart line to start the Slave Recorder. The
Slave/Repeater unit will then send Start Codes to the Decoder unit. The
same Start Code, Box ID # and Crew ID # which were transmitted by the
Master are now sent to the Decoder units.
If both the Master and Slave/Repeater are in radio range of the Decoder,
then both will receive the PFS uphole Message from the Decoder. After
the Slave/Repeater has received the PFS data, the Slave/Repeater will
retransmit the PFS data to the Master unit. The retransmitted uphole
data will appear on the analog output of the Master unit at 2.5, 3.0 and
3.5 seconds.

GPS Page 6.6.1
GPS with Shot Pro II System
The SPII has a built-in GPS receiver. Alternately an external GPS

receiver can be used with the SPII Decoder to record Shot Hole positions.
The external GPS receiver must have the following features:
• Has RS232 Serial Data Interface to communicate with the SPII at 9600
or 4800 Baud, N-8-1.
• Provide NMEA-0183 Standard VTG, GGA and GSA output messages.
• Capable of receiving corrections
DGPS Operation
A built in modem system is provided with the SPII System to receive the
RTCM SC-104 differential corrections. The SPII Decoder will automatically
demodulate the differential correction data from a Pelton Radio Modem or
an RCC module.
The differential correction can also be generated by the SPII Encoder
acting as a Reference Station (Single Radio mode of operation) without
conflicting with the normal shooting operation.
Single Radio Option
The single radio option allows GPS correction data and SPII control data
to be transmitted on one radio frequency. The SPII Encoder transmits the
RTCM corrections. The SPII Decoder will receive this data and serially
transmit it to the GPS receiver.
RTK Operation
The SPII is capable of receiving the $PTNL, GGK message. The SPII will
send the RDOP for the HDOP and the Quality Indicator byte from the GGK
message in the GPS PFS message. GPSMAP version 4.42 and newer will store
the Quality Indicator in the SEG-P1 file. The RTK GPS receiver will need
a separate radio link for the RTK correction data.
Normal DGPS Operation
In normal GPS operation the position of the Shot Hole is recorded before
the Shot is fired. The shooter performs the following steps to record
the position.
• Position the SPII Decoder with internal/external GPS at the Shot Point.
• Select GPS Menu on SPII Decoder.
• Select start by pressing the left arrow key on the GPS Menu to receive
GPS position.
• If not operating in Single Radio mode, select the Radio frequency,
which is used for transmitting the differential correction information.
The SPII will demodulate this signal and send it to the GPS receiver.
The GPS position will be displayed on the front panel.
01Mar06
GPS Page 6.6.2
The SPII Decoder LEDs will show the status of the received position as
follows:
Left LED Right LED Status description

Red Off No GPS position received
Off Red GPS Position received invalid
Red+Green Red+Green Non-Differential 2-D position
Green Red+Green Non-Differential 3-D position
Red+Green Green Differential 2-D position
Green Green Differential 3-D position
- If the GSA message is present the PDOP, HDOP and VDOP will be
displayed below the GPS position.
- The bottom line of the GPS will use the symbol “*” to indicate
the number of satellites visible.
• Press the right arrow key “stop” to stop the GPS data acquisition and
save the position in memory.
• If not in Single Radio mode select the radio frequency used for seismic
operation.
• Return to the Main Menu on SPII.
After firing the Shot the position information will be returned
along with the Uphole data in the PFS.
Prior to the Shot the GPSMAP program can perform a position request. The
Advance II ESG and the Pelton Monitor Module support the position request
message in AdvII mode. The A3 protocol (Vib Pro) position request
message has to be transmitted through the Vib Pro Encoder or the SPII
Encoder. Multiple decoders can be selected for position request with the
A3 protocol. The Memory Load selection must be set to “ON” to allow the
position request in the decoder(s).
Navigation Operation
The Shooter can navigate to serially loaded flags. The Shooter performs
the following steps to load the flags:
• From the GPS menu select the FLAGS menu on SPII Decoder.
• Connect the 9-pin connector labeled “Computer” to the computer running
SP1FLAGS.
• Send the flag data to the SPII Decoder with SP1FLAGS.
• Disconnect the 9 pin "computer" cable.
• The bottom of the display will show how many flags were loaded.
• The SPII Decoder is ready for Navigating.
01Mar06
GPS Page 6.6.3
The Shooter performs the following steps to Navigate with the SPII
Decoder:
• Select the GPS Menu on the SPII Decoder.

• Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the loaded navigation
flags. Scroll up and down until desired flag is found or enter the
desired flag number then press “Enter”. If found, the flag number will
be highlighted on the screen. Press “Enter” one more time. The unit
will go to the GPS menu. Select NAVIGATION to go to the navigation
menu.
• If not in the Single Radio mode select the Radio frequency that is used
for transmitting the Differential Correction information. The Shot Pro
will demodulate this signal and send it to the GPS receiver.
• Navigate to the flag. The assumption is that the SPII decoder is
carried in the ventral position by the shooter or in front of the
vehicle used to move between shot points.
When moving the black arrow of the navigation screen will show the
direction to the selected flag. Information about azimuth, distance to
the flag and motion speed are also displayed. The bottom line of the
display uses the “*” symbol to indicate the number of visible
satellites. The LED’s also help to navigate.

Novatel OEM4 Set-Up
SPII Decoder setup (cont’d)
- Set the serial Baud rate to 9600.
- Connect the 9 pin “D” connector labeled GPS to the computer serial
port.
A CD ROM is shipped to our customers with each NovAtel OEM4 receiver.
The documentation and programs mentioned in this document for the OEM4
are on that CD.
The OEM4 has multiple capabilities. The commands pertaining to this unit
can be found in the Novatel Manual Volume 2. This instruction set is only
intended for a quick introduction to the set-up.
The OEM4 responds to commands that are issued over the serial link in an
ASCII format (text).
Using the gpssolution4, which is a Novatel program, command lines can be
entered and data monitored in the ASCII messages window of the same
program.
After starting gpsolution4.exe select: -Device\Open
The Open window appears.

If no device configuration has been previously created select New.
Else re-use the same configuration.
01Mar06
GPS Page 6.7.4
The New Config window opens.
Enter a name for the new configuration. Click on Settings (Serial).
Select the desired serial port and set the Baud rate to 9600. Click off
the Hardware handshaking tab.
Click OK on the Serial Device Settings and the New Config windows. Then
Open the device using the newly created configuration.

GPS Page 6.7.5
The program will attempt to connect to the GPS unit.
If the connection cannot be established the error message below will

show. Verify the serial connection (standard Pelton RS232 null modem
cable) between the PC and the connector of the SPII.
When a good communication link is established the gpssolution4 will show

the acknowledge of the GPS card as shown below.
Entry of commands can be done in the edit window, which is at the bottom
of the Console window. If the Console window does not automatically open
when starting the program, click on View, then Console Window. It may be
necessary to enlarge the main window for the program and also the Console
sub-window in order to be able to see the edit window. An example of a

message below generally indicating a typo error.
01Mar06
GPS Page 6.7.7
Rover Mode Setup:
A typical set-up for a rover station (SPII decoder) will include the
following commands.
Unlogall
fix none
Interfacemode com1 rtcm novatel
log com1 gpgga ontime 1.0
log com1 gpgsa ontime 1.0
log com1 gpvtg ontime 1.0
dgpstimeout 30
saveconfig
The effect of Line 1 is to disable any outputting from the GPS unit. Line
2 will enable the receiving of RTCM corrections on the serial receive
line of the second port and enable NMEA outputting on the transmit line.
If no reference station is to be set-up this line can be omitted.
Lines 3 and 4 will send the GGA, GSA and VTG data every second.
Line 4 will enable the reset of the differential mode if RTCM corrections
are not received for a period of 30 seconds.
Line 5 will save the configuration in the flash memory of the GPS
receiver and the configuration will be re-used at power up.
By opening the ASCII messages window (View) and entering the command
Log gpgga ontime 1.0
The receiver will also return the GGA data to com1 and the data will be
displayed as shown below.
01Mar06
GPS Page 6.7.8
Reference Station Setup:
The set of the Novatel as a reference station will apply if the GPS unit
is placed in the SPII which will be used as an encoder. The true position
of the recording truck will have to be entered in this procedure.
A typical set-up for the reference station is shown below:
Unlogall
Interfacemode com1 none rtcm off
Fix position 51.11358042 –114.04358013 1059.4105
Log com1 rtcm1 ontime 5
Saveconfig
The above values correspond to a location in Alberta, Canada.
Note that the fix position should reflect the position of the of the
antenna of the reference station using:
Lat, Long, Hgt
Where Lat is the latitude from –90 to 90 degrees, negative numbers

are southern hemisphere. The format is DD.dddd (degrees with 4
decimal places of degrees)
Long is the longitude from –360 to 360 degrees. Negative numbers

indicate displacement from zero degrees longitude in a westward
direction. Positive numbers indicate displacement from zero degrees
longitude in an eastward direction, e.g. -90 and +270 both indicate
90 degrees west longitude. The format is DD.dddd. The 4th decimal
place in degrees longitude or latitude at the Equator is roughly 10
cm distance.
Hgt is the altitude from –1000 to 20000000 (Mean Sea Level). The
resolution for height is meters.

Novatel troubleshooting tips
If the commands appear to be unsuccessful but the communication has shown

to be operating satisfactorily a command “FRESET” will return the unit to
the factory default and clear the RAM of the GPS unit. This will lead to
a need to rebuild the almanac before the GPS will output any data. The
NMEA message will show the type of message i.e. $GPGGA followed by empty
fields and the sum check of the line. After completion of the almanac
reload, which takes approx. 12 minutes, the normal data will be returned
in the messages.
THE RECEIVER MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN ANTENNA AND RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM
SATELLITES DURING THE FRESET PROCEDURE.
THE RECEIVER WILL NOT OPERATE NORMALLY UNTIL AT LEAST 12 MINUTES AFTER
FRESET.
If the rovers are not going into differential mode as expected, one may:
1. Go to the reference station
2. Start the Novatel program, gpsolution4.exe, and connect to the

receiver
3. Open the Position Window from the View menu
4. If all is working well, the Solution Status should be “Computed”

and the Position Type should be “Fixed”.
5. The data in the Position Window for a rover should say “Position
Type: Single” if not in differential mode. It should say “Position
Type: PSR Diff” if in the differential mode.
One may also look at the Tracking Status window to see if enough
satellites are being received. A minimum of 3 or 4 satellites will be
required for good RTCM data. The color of the text for each satellite
indicated the status of the signal from that satellite. Green indicates
satisfactory signal and tracking time. If no satellites are found there
may be a problem with the card, antenna, or antenna cable.
Another helpful indication is the Port Status log. One may:
1. Open the Console Window
2. In the command window, enter log portstats ontime 5

(The last character indicates how often the report will be sent
from the GPS card. One might set it to the same value as the
output of the reference station data.)
3. Every 5 seconds (or whatever on time is set to) a new set of data
should appear in the window.
01Mar06
GPS Page 6.7.10
4. Look at the data for Com 1, which should be set up for transmitting
RTCM data.
5. That data line should say something like:

Com 1 0 123456 0 0 840 0 0 0 0
6. Each data field is separated from the next by a space. The NovAtel
manual describes all the fields, but we will only be interested in
the second field, the one with 123456 in it in this example. That
field shows how many bytes of data have been sent from the card.
That field may have from 1 to 6 characters in it. If the value in
that field is not changing from one set of data to the next, or is
only changing a small amount, such as less than 10, the receiver is
probably not outputting usable correction data. If the value of
that field is changing more than 10 bytes from one report to the
next, it is probably outputting usable correction data. Rovers
have gone into differential mode when the value was changing by 16
(sixteen) bytes from one report to the next. A change of 100 or
more would not be unusual.
Remember, the quickest way to resolve a problem may be to “FRESET” all

the units, reference station and rovers, and resetting them according to
the procedures listed earlier in this document.

SHOT PRO II ENCODER INSTALLATION
The Shot Pro II Encode Cable Connector JF provides connections for power,
radio, and recording system interface.
Each wire in the SPII Encode Cable, wired to a mating PF connector, is

labeled according to the JF pin it is connected to.
1. Power Input - The unit is powered by the battery voltage (10-36

VDC), or by a power supply capable of producing 10 to 36 VDC at 10
watts.
Pins b (red 20 gauge) is connected to the positive (+) side of the

power source through a 7.5amp fast blow fuse.
Pins c (black 20 gauge) is connected to the negative (-) side of the

power source through a 7.5amp fast blow fuse.
2. Radio Interface - The SPII Unit must be connected to a suitable

radio transceiver so the Start Code and data can be transmitted to
the Decoder and uphole data can be received from the Decoder.
Some requirements of the radio transceiver are:
A. Response time (from activation of PTT at transmitter to

quieting and stabilization of speaker audio at receiver) - less
than 125 milliseconds.
B. Audio Band width (3 dB) - at least 300 Hz to 3000 Hz.
C. Signal to Noise Ratio (Voltage measured at speaker, ratio

between 100 percent modulation and 0 percent modulation) - 20
dB.
D. Required speaker voltage at 100 percent modulation - at least 1

volt peak-to-peak.
E. Transmitter audio input for 100 percent modulation - 2 volts

peak-to-peak.
F. Mic. disconnect switch when PTT button released.
G. Negative PTT (the radio must transmit when the PTT line is
connected to common.
01Mar06
The MS3106E14S-5S radio connector is wired to SPII connector PF as
follows:
Connector Wire type Radio Radio Connection

PF pin Connector
Y Single conductor A Transmitter input

shielded (Mic High)
W Red wire of shielded B Speaker Active

twisted pair
Z 22 gauge Black C Radio Return
a 22 gauge Yellow D Push-to-talk
X Black wire of shielded E Speaker Return

twisted pair
If the radio transceiver requires less than 2 volts p-p for 100 percent
modulation, an attenuation circuit must be installed in series with the
transmitter input.
Pelton Company has determined interface circuits for many popular radios
and will supply this information on request.
See Radio Installation and Testing Section later in this chapter.
Wire Line Communications - Communications between an Advance II Encode

Sweep Generator or SPII Encoder and Decoder(s) may be accomplished by
wire rather than by radio. To do this, connect pins A and B of the five
pin radio connector together and connect them to one wire in the cable to
be used for communication. Connect pins C and E of the five pin radio
connector together and connect them to another wire in the communication
cable. Wire line communications should be satisfactory over several
miles of cable. There are no provisions for voice communications through
the SPII’s, but using the paralleling intercom units on the same wire
pair should not cause a problem.
01Mar06
3. Shot Pro II Remote Start Command - The SPII Encoder accepts a start
command from the Recording System. It responds by sending start
codes to the Decoder and issuing a time break signal.
Pin E (red wire of shielded twisted pair) is connected to the
positive (+) side of the voltage pulse and:
Pin F (black wire of shielded twisted pair) is connected to the
negative (-) or return side of the voltage pulse.
The SPII START input can be opto-isolated or non isolated.
If wanting to use the opto-isolated input remove the SPII front
panel and set the S2 dip switches as indicated below:
Position 1-8 = OFF
2-7 = OFF
3-6 = ON
4-5 = ON
Refer to page 10.1.9
If wanting to use the non-opto-isolated input remove the SPII
front panel and set the S2 dip switches as indicated below:
Position 1-8 = ON
2-7 = ON
3-6 = OFF
4-5 = OFF
4. Clock Time Break: Time Break (T.B. Act and Rtn) is generated by the
SPII Encoder at the instant the shot is fired.
A switch closing pulse of about 4 milliseconds duration is generated
by the SPII Encoder.
Pin J (red wire of shielded twisted pair) is connected to the
positive (+) side of the Time Break input.
Pin K (black wire of shielded twisted pair) is connected to the

negative (-) or return side of the Time Break input.
The SPII Timebreak output can be opto-isolated or non-isolated.

If wanting to use the opto-isolated input remove the SPII front
Position 1-8 = OFF
2-7 = OFF
3-6 = ON
4-5 = ON
01Mar06
If wanting to use the non-isolated input remove the SPII front
Position 1-8 = ON
2-7 = ON
3-6 = OFF
4-5 = OFF
5. Uphole Signal - Timing verification marks along with the uphole

signal are available on the Analog Data line. (see page 5.1.2)
If the auxiliary channel accepts a high-level (10v p-p) input:
A. Connect Pin B (black wire of shielded twisted pair) to the

active input of the auxiliary channel.
B. Connect Pin D (red wire of shielded twisted pair) to the return

input of the auxiliary channel.
If the auxiliary channel requires a lower level input, an external

resistor divider network must be used.
6. Computer Cable - A 9 pin D connector provides signal connections for

the optional computer.
Pin 2, receive of computer, is wired to JF-M.
Pin 3, transmit of computer, is wired to JF-L.
Pin 5, common of computer, is wired to JF-S.
7. GPS cable – A 9 pin “D” connector provides the signal connections

for an external GPS base station if used with single radio option
for RTCM corrections or for a computer as to set up the internal
Novatel GPS receiver(if so equipped)as a Reference Station.
Pin 2 - Receive line for the computer is wired to JF-U

Pin 3 – Transmit line of the computer or Base Station is wired to
JF- T.
Pin 5 – Common is wired to JF-S
8. RTI cable – A 9 pin “D” connector provides the signal connections

with the recording system.
01Mar06
9. Recorder Start Command - The SPII Encoder sends a start command to
the Recording System approximately 52ms after the start codes have
been transmitted. The pulse is a minimum of 150ms in duration. The
pulse will need amplification to energize an opto-coupled circuit.
Pin G (Green wire, Rec Start) is connected to the base of the

amplifying transistor (2N3904). The emitter is connected to ground
and the collector connected to the return side of the External
start.
10. Reference marks – The reference marks are for timing verification
purpose. They have a duration of 4 mS and occur at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0
Seconds after timebreak.
Shot Pro II Decoder Installation
Power and Radio use same connection as used for the SPII Encoder.
Uphole Geophone - Connect positive output of uphole geophone to JF-C,

connect negative output of uphole geophone to JF-A.
GPS Receiver - The external GPS receiver can be connected to the SPII
Decoder.
The RS232 output of the GPS receiver should be connected to JF-T on the
SPII Unit.
The RS232 RTCM differential correction message input of the GPS receiver
should be connected to JF-U.
Airgun
This mode is not currently available for the initial release of the SPII.
Navigational System
The Navigational System can send a serial message (maximum 110 bytes) to
the SPII Decoder after the Fire command is issued. This data will be
sent back to the SPII Encoder with Post Fire Service (PFS).
The RS232 Navigational System data output should be connected to JF-T on

the SPII Unit. The RS232 common connected to JF-S.
01Mar06
Radio Installation and Testing
Radio Set-up
Connect the SPII's radio output to the user's radio. The SPII's radio
circuit is designed for speaker audio output. However the discriminator
audio output of the radio can be used instead. The speaker connection
normally gives greater range of reception than discriminator output.
Speaker Polarity
The radio modulation technique used in the SPII system usually works
better with one polarity than the other. Use the SPKR POL entry in the
Radio Control menu to check both polarities. The SPII's start command
signal is transmitted to the Decoder at 1952 baud. The Post Fire Service
(PFS) data is transmitted to the Encoder 3123 baud after detonations, but
may be sent at either baud rate during retransmissions. The 3123 baud
transmission may require a different polarity than the 1952 baud
transmission. Make sure all boxes have the speaker wired the same for
timing purposes.
The SPII must receive at least 75% of the start data to detonate the
charge. To determine the best speaker polarity at the Decoder:
• Set up the Encoder and Decoder to fire a test shot. (The ready tone
from the Decoder can be used to make an Advance II Encode Sweep
Generator send start blasts when the Decoder is armed and ready.)
• Receive a start blast.
• Receive start blasts with different volume settings on the radio and
both speaker polarities to determine which speaker polarity works
best over the widest range of volume settings.
To determine the best speaker polarity if a SPII is acting as the

Encoder:
• Set up the Encoder and a Decoder to fire a shot.
• Take a test shot and receive PFS data.
• Receive PFS data with different volume settings on the radio and both
speaker polarities to determine which speaker polarity works best
over the widest range of volume settings.
• Setting the Decoder to retransmit at low baud rate and having it

retransmit PFS data is sometimes helpful in troubleshooting PFS data
reception problems.
Refer to the Encoder Entries and Decoder Entries chapters of this manual
for more detailed descriptions of the Radio Status Words.

Disassembly and Repair
Most SPII repairs may be accomplished by removing the front panel, and
then the PC board. Caution must be taken after opening the unit because
the Board may still have high voltage on the high voltage capacitor, C34.
Special care must be exercised if the unit is worked on with power
applied while it is removed from the enclosure. Potentially lethal
electrical charges may be developed in the unit. Access the boards and
front panel for repair by removing the screws as necessary.
Schematics and other documents providing information to aid in repairing

the SPII are included in the Documentation section of this manual. The
display, display card and front panel card are not manufactured by Pelton
Company Inc., and are not considered field repairable, and no
documentation is provided on those circuits.
Assembly
When reassembling the SPII, apply some Loctite to the threads of screws
and nuts to keep them from coming loose while the unit is in use.
Improper reassembly can allow screws and nuts to loosen and cause a major
failure.
A desiccant is installed in the SPII case. It should be replaced

periodically. Installation and proper care of the desiccant are
important protection against damage from moisture. Be sure the gasket
and sealing surfaces are clean when re-assembling the unit to ensure a
good seal. Tighten each screw to the suggested torque values below:
Display Module: 6 in lbs

Firing Line Posts: 18 in lbs
Charge and Arm Switch Nuts: 40 in lbs
Front Panel Card: 14 in lbs
26 Pin Connector Screws: 14 in lbs
Front panel Screws: 16-24 in lbs
Shock and Vibration Isolation

The SPII has been designed and constructed to be very resistant to shock
and vibration. In some situations, the reliability of the SPII unit may
be enhanced significantly if it is mounted using shock and vibration
isolation techniques and materials. The Back Pack Option is not intended
to provide shock and vibration isolation.

Back Pack
The Back Pack provides a lightweight, rugged, and comfortable way to
carry the SPII and related equipment. A cover that protects the radio,
battery, and wiring is made of Herculite, which is very durable at a wide
range of temperatures and is waterproof. The normal color is bright
yellow. Replacement packs and straps are readily available from Pelton
Company. After an initial adjustment so the pack fits the individual,
taking the pack off and on should be easy and quick. The lumbar strap is
adjustable to provide comfort for a wide range of body shapes and loads.
The waist strap has a quick release buckle with adjustments that do not
have to be disturbed when that strap is buckled or released. Optimum
comfort, especially for long periods of packing, can be achieved by
supporting the load of the pack primarily on the hips, via the lumbar and
waist straps, rather than on the shoulders.
Initial Pack Adjustment
1. Support the pack on a table, shelf, or have someone hold it.
2. Assume a position so that the lumbar strap contacts the back at a
comfortable point, usually near the top of the pelvic bone.
3. Adjust the waist strap so that it is snug enough to carry the weight
of the pack on the hips.
4. Adjust the upper buckles of the shoulder straps so the shoulder strap
pads are positioned with their tops near the tops of the shoulders.
Radio Considerations
Power reflected from the antenna back into the radio when it is
transmitting can damage the radio and usually greatly reduces the
communication range. Some items that affect reflected power
significantly are: antenna tuning, integrity and selection of hardware,
antenna design, counterpoise (ground plane), proximity of the antenna to
other objects.
Back packs do not provide suitable ground planes for radio antennae. The
best vertical antenna design for operation without a ground plane is the
base loaded, half wave. It gives significantly greater reflected power
stability and greatly improved radiational efficiency over any other
antenna design that is practical for back packing. Therefore, radio
communications can be improved substantially by using a 1/2 wave vertical
antenna with almost any radio being used on a pack. When a spring is
installed between the base load and the radiating rod, the antenna is
flexible enough to be suitable for use even in dense brush and trees.
The orientation of any antenna is critical for optimum communication

range. Most antennae used for local communications on seismic crews are
mounted vertically, giving vertical polarization. If the backpack is
used laying down, with the antenna in the horizontal position, the power
radiated from the antenna is polarized horizontally. This by itself
results in a significant reduction in communication range (about 20 dB).
01Mar06
Options Page 11.1.2
A second disadvantage of operating the antenna horizontally is that the
reflected power typically will be much higher, primarily due to the
proximity of the antenna to the ground or other objects. This reflected
power can damage the radio. It will cause many radios' protection
systems to reduce the transmit power significantly. Another disadvantage
of this position is the low elevation of the antenna above the ground.
Merely raising the antenna from the horizontal to the vertical position
provides an increase in antenna elevation that is significant for
increasing communication range. Optimum communication range and radio
performance can be ensured by positioning the antenna mount so the
antenna is nearly vertical when shots are being fired.
This may result in the antenna being vertical when the pack is vertical,
leaned back at about 45 degrees, or laying flat with the SPII facing up.
If the Pelton Antenna mount is used with half-wave vertical antenna, it

is critical that the BA (the large all-thread part of the mount that the
antenna base load screws on to) be adjusted properly. The BA must extend
above the nut on top of the mount 5/16" +0.00" - 1/16" (7.9mm +0mm -
1.6mm). Improper adjustment may cause failure of the base load.
Safety Considerations Specific to Back-Pack Operation
The radio frequency energy emitted from a transmitting radio antenna may
injure people. The potential for injury is affected by the frequency and
power level of the RF energy. A general rule for radios operating in the
VHF High Band (around 150 MHz) at about 40 Watts transmitter power is
that personnel should be at least 24" (60 cm) from an antenna when it is
transmitting. Care should be taken to keep the antenna as far as
possible from the body, especially the head, when transmitting. There is
no potential for RF energy when the radio is not transmitting or near a
high power radio transmitter.
Many people have been killed due to contact to a high voltage line
through an antenna. Always take extreme care that the antenna does not
come in contact with overhead wires or other structures that may have
high voltage electrical energy.
Be sure to remove the antenna or take the pack off any time lightening is
a threat. There is a threat of lightening when thunderstorms are present
and when strong winds and clouds are present, even if no lightening has
been observed. A "tingly" sensation and hair standing on end, as when
static electricity is high, are warning signs of a possible imminent
lightening strike. If these occur, take the pack off immediately and
assume a crouching or squatting position with minimum contact with the
ground, in a low place if possible.
Sitting on a vehicle with rubber tires or wearing rubber shoes does not
offer protection from lightening strikes. Sitting inside a fully
enclosed vehicle may provide significant protection from injury due to
lightening but is not 100% for the path of lightening is unpredictable.

Shock and Vibration Isolation
The SPII has been designed and constructed to be very resistant to shock
and vibration. In some situations, the reliability of the SPII unit may
be enhanced significantly if it is mounted using shock and vibration
isolation techniques and materials. The Back Pack Option is not intended
to provide shock and vibration isolation.
Back Pack Shock Mount Option
An optional shock mounting system is available for our customers who need
the flexibility of mounting the SPII on a vehicle, such as a "Quad" or
snow mobile and going back pack portable with minimum change over time.
The Back Pack Shock Mount Option consists of a mounting plate, which may
be secured to the vehicle, shock mounts similar to Aeroflex mounts, and a
tray that the SPII with Back Pack Option fits neatly into. Bungee straps
or some other securing device should be used to secure the SPII with Back
Pack Option in the tray.
Mobile Mount / Shipping Case Option
The Mobile Mount / Shipping Case Option (MMSCO) provides a rugged case
with foam inserts and securing hardware. It normally provides adequate
protection and shock and vibration isolation for mounting a SPII and
associated equipment on a vehicle and for shipping. Some shipping
companies ensure only the contents of containers and not the containers
themselves. It would probably be advisable to put this case in an outer
container for shipping so the case will be covered by their insurance.
A removable antenna mount is provided on the outside of the case for

radio communications while the MMSCO is being used on a small vehicle or
portably. There is some storage room inside the case for cables, etc.
Connectors are provided on the outside of the case for uphole geophone,
firing line, and battery charging or external power lines. The standard
foam inserts accommodate the SPII, two 7 amp/hour gell cell batteries,
and a radio. A foam insert can be supplied to be cut for other radios.
If the Pelton Antenna mount is used with half-wave vertical antenna, it

is critical that the BA (the large all-thread part of the mount that the
antenna base load screws on to) be adjusted properly. The BA must extend
above the nut on top of the mount 5/16" +0.00" - 1/16" (7.9mm +0mm -

RTI – Pelton Messaging Protocol for VibPro
Introduction:
The messaging protocol documented here, is based upon the “A2” messaging
protocol for the Advanced 2. The messages listed here are all the messages used
with the VibPro Encoder and VibPro Encoder Program.
Document Conventions and Notes:

This document describes the message protocol for communication between a
Recording System and the Pelton VibPro Encoder. Communications with the ShotPro
is through the VibPro Encoder. All of the data fields use Hexadecimal format
unless otherwise stated.
One of the following methods is used to describe the message contents:
• Field Name with size in bytes in parentheses appended—e.g., Sz(2).

• Literal Characters—e.g., ‘I’.
• The first two bytes are ASCII “A2” (Encoder), or “RS” (Recording System).
• All other data fields are hexadecimal format unless otherwise stated.
• ASCII Pattern enclosed in quotes—e.g., "DDMM.mmmm".
This applies to the GPS Information Message:

A2 Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) . . . "hhmmss" , "DDMM.mmmm" , Open(4) . . . *
ChkSum(1)
Notes:
• The two bytes ‘A2’ appear as the first two bytes in the message.
• The Id field occupies the 4th and 5th bytes in the message whatever its
actual value.
• The commas, spaces and the asterisk literals are shown for clarity only,
and are not part of the message.
• The time field ‘hhmmss’ is an ASCII representation of the time, not an
integer encoding.
All messaging will be via an RS232 port using settings of 19200 Baud, No
Parity, 8 Data Bits, and 1 Stop Bit.

release of the new messaging system will have each message version set
to 1.
ChkSum This field is calculated by forming the exclusive or—XOR—of all bytes
starting with the Id field and including all bytes up to the ChkSum
field. For the Revision Request Message, therefore, the ChkSum will
contain the XOR value of the Id, Version, and Revision fields.

Revision Request Message - Id = 0000:
RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) Revision(2) ChkSum(1)

This message requests the Pelton System to return the revision level of the
messaging system in use. The first byte of the revision will contain major
revision level; the second byte will contain minor revisions or patches to the
major revision. It should be sent during startup to initialize the Recording
System to employ a revision level compatible with that of the Pelton System in
use. The revision number field identifies the revision level of the Recording
System messaging system. The first two digits reflect the major revision level,
while the last two digits reflect minor changes or “patches” to the firmware.
This text reflects major revision level 02 and the first release will have a
revision number of 0201. The response message (Pelton to Recording System
message Id number 6) should be sent immediately upon receipt of this message.
As of June 13, 2002, the release and version number will be 0301.
Some recording systems do not require this exchange of messages to be
implemented. The response message is sent to selected Recording Systems.

ShotId(4) EpId(4) File(4) ChkSum(1)
This message must be sent before the start of each shot. The information
contained in this message is used by the Pelton Computer Programs, and for HFVS.
The EpId field will contain the number (starting from 1 to 99 Dec) of the energy
point in the sequence of energy points that make up the shot.
The File field will contain the tape file number (0-9999 Dec) used for recording
the data of the specified shot or EP. A file number of 0 indicates that no data
will be recorded. The file number of the final stack will be used for interim
Eps.
The ShotCoordType Force to 1. This field is ignored.
The ShotCoordSize field contains the number of bytes used to express the shot
point location in the designated coordinate system. Force to 8. This field is
ignored.
The ShotCoordInfo field contains the actual shot point location. For type 1
ShotCoordType the ShotCoordInfo is Line (4 bytes) and Station (4 bytes)
numbers.

Other Implementation and Behavior Notes:

The Encoder program stores the shot data, but does NOT send out a new Start Code
message. After receiving this message, the Encoder program sends a DMA message
with the shot data to the Vib Pro Encoder.
If this message is sent after a sweep starts, there could be a collision between
messages, if the options Delayed PSS or Retransmit Missing PSS are selected. The
Vib Pro Encoder could optionally send these two messages to the Encoder program
after the sweep starts.
02Mar06
Sequence Code Message - Id = 0002:
RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) SequenceNumber(1) Serial Number(1) ChkSum(1)
This message will contain information for the next shot. The Recording System
must send this message about 1 second before the start command is sent to the
Encoder. With the Shot Pro Encoder if the message is sent during the previous
shot, it must be sent after Time Break and before 1 second after Time Break, or
it may be sent 3 seconds after Time Break. It will not contain a shot or EP
number since these will not have been determined at the time of transmission.
For certain selected recording systems, the response message (Pelton to

Recording System message number 0) will be sent immediately upon receipt of this
message.
With the Shot Pro if the message is sent during the previous shot, then the
response message will be generated after Shot Pro message 9 is sent to the
recorder.
The SequenceNumber field contains the number of the Sweep Profile to be used for
the next shot. The Decoder Group associated with the selected Sweep Profile will
fire. This SequenceNumber must be between 1 and 50. If the number is out of this
range, the Encoder program will select Sweep Profile number 1. The actual number
selected will be in the Verification Message, if it is sent.
The Serial Number field will be an identifier attached by the recording system
and would be returned in the Pelton System Verification message, if sent, to
serve as a cross check on the verification. The Encoder program does not use
this number.

Vibrator/ShotPro GPS Position Request Message - Id = 0006:
RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) Vibrator#/ShotPro#(1) Group#(1) ChkSum(1)
The Vibrator# / ShotPro# field identifies the requested Vibrator or ShotPro Unit
by number, range : 0 - 15 (0x00 - 0x0F).
The Group# field identifies the Vibrator’s Group Number. Valid entries are:
0 for Group A, 1 for Group B, 2 for Group C, and 3 for Group D.
Example Message ID=0006 Version=1

5253000700060001040003
0006 - ID - ID is 0006
04 - Shot Pro Id # 4
00 - Group A
03 - ChkSum - XOR check sum of ID, Ver, Shot Pro Id & Group =03

The Encoder program does not wait for a response from the decoder(s).
If a valid group number (0-3) is in the Group field, then a position request is
sent to ALL the decoders in that group. If a group number greater than 3 is in
the Group field, then a position request is only sent to the decoder number that
is indicated by this message.
The Position message returned by the Vibrators is sent back during PSS time. The
Vibrator number determines PSS time, so, there will be no message collisions. If
there are multiple Shot Pro decoders in a group, and all their positions are
requested, then there will be message collisions, as the Shot Pro decoders will
all transmit at about the same time.
Caution: If position request is sent to a decoder that does not exist, the
Recording System will never receive a response. Even if a decoder exists, there
is the possibility that the Recording System will not receive a response.
Shot Pro firmware before version 3.008 does not support Position Requests.

The main purpose of this message is for managing multiple groups of vibrators
using Source Driven Acquisition. Normally, the Group Ready message is sent to
the Recording System when it is received by the Encoder program. When multiple
groups of vibrators are used, more than one group of vibrators can send a ready
message before the Recording System can act upon the message. In this case, the
newer ready message can be lost, and will need to be resent. The Encoder program
can, if so configured, queue these ready messages. The Recording System Ready
message will cause the Encoder program to send the oldest ready message that it
holds. If no messages are held in the queue, then the next ready message that is
received will be sent on to the Recording System.
The Sz, Id, Version, and ChkSum fields are as described for the Recording
System to Pelton messages.
The messages from the VibPro Encoder program will use an ASCII “A2” as the
first two characters. The ShotPro Encoder is not supported by the VibPro
system.

This message verifies the receipt of the Sequence Code Message ID=0002, to
selected Recording Systems.
This message should be returned immediately upon receipt of the Sequence Code
Message. The SerialNumber field identifies the particular sequence number
message being verified. At most one sequence number message will be pending, so
the SerialNumber field provides a check that the two systems are still in synch.
Note: The Sequence number returned in this example could not be 99. The value
would be whatever sequence number was actually used. The sequence number passed
from the Recording System must be between 1 and 50. If it is not, then 1 is
actually used. The 1, in this case, is what would be returned in this
Verification Message.

Note: Spare (1) and Spare (3) are always zero.
This message, along with the next two messages, constitutes the Enhanced Post
Sweep Service messages. This message contains the Encode Sweep Generator data.
Normally, the ESG data is sent followed by the individual vibrator information
messages. However, it is possible for the messages to be sent in a different
order. The Post Sweep Service messages are sent after each sweep and may or may
not include correlation data for each vibrator.
In addition to the usual protocol fields, this message contains the following
information:
The ShotId and EpId correspond to the ShotId and EpId for the current sweep that
was sent with the Shot Message that announced the start of the current sweep.
The SeqNo field corresponds to the sequence code (1 – 50) sent in the Sequence
Code message that was sent for this sweep. The SwpNo field contains the current
sweep number.
The Swp Mode indicates the mode of operation; 1 is Keyboard Mode, 2 is Stored
Parameter Mode, 3 is Stored Values Mode
The SwpGenChkSum field contains the checksum generated by the ESG for the entire
message. It should not be confused with the ChkSum field.

The Vibrator PSS Information messages normally follow the ESG message. One
message for each active vibrator is sent after each sweep. Normally, the
vibrator messages will arrive in sequence, but this ordering is not guaranteed.
In addition to the usual protocol fields, these messages have the following
fields:
The Vib# field identifies the current vibrator or Shot Pro by number.
The PSSType field identifies the Post Sweep Service Type.
The SwpNo field identifies the current sweep by number.
The VibChkSum field contains the vibrator checksum. It should not be confused
with the ChkSum field.
The PkPhase field contains the unencoded peak phase value for the sweep in degrees.
The AvgPhase field contains the unencoded sweep average phase in degrees. The
range for these fields is from -179 to 179 degrees.
The PkForce field contains the unencoded peak force value for the sweep.
The AvgForce field contains the sweep unencoded average force value. The range
for these fields is from 0 to 200%.
The PkDist field contains the unencoded peak distortion value for the sweep.
The AvgDist field contains the unencoded average distortion value for the sweep.
The range for these fields is from 0 to 99%.
The SwpChkSum field contains the sweep checksum. It should not be confused with the
ChkSum field.
The Spare (4) is all 0.
NOTE: If this is a re-transmission of a missing PSS message, the ShotId, and
EpId fields are INVALID, as this information is not persistent in the Encoder
program.

The Vibrator PSS Correlation message contains correlation data for each
vibrator. This message has the following fields:
The Vib# field identifies the current vibrator by number.
The Correlation field contains 128 bytes of biased correlation wavelet data.
The Gain field contains the gain factor in MSB LSB order. It is a scaled number.
To obtain the actual gain, convert it to float type, then divide the value here
by 32768. Process the correlation data by multiplying each data byte by the
processed gain value.
The true correlation wavelet is obtained by multiplying each sample in the

resistance fields. Bits 0, 1 are the scaling values, bit 2 is Range checking, bit 3
is Limits checking. Bit 4 of the Geophone resistance field is the battery status
bit.
Scaling bits: Value Calculation
0 No scale, leave value as is.
1 Resistance = ((Raw Value - 2176) * 5120 + 128) / 256000
Range bit: 0 Value is in range
1 Value is out of range
Limits bit: 0 Value is out of limits
1 Value is in limits
Battery bit: 0 Battery is ok.
1 Battery is low.
The bits in the Status field contains data that is related to the scaling of the
geophone voltage information, whether or not it is clipped, and if this PFS is
being retransmitted. Bit 4 (from 0) indicates if the geophone signal is clipped
or not. 0 = Not Clipped, and 1 = Clipped.
Bit 2 indicates if the PFS is retransmitted or not. 0 = Normal PFS, 1 =
Retransmitted PFS. The signal data is not sent to the recording system.
From the original ShotPro, Bit 3 is always 0. From the ShotPro II, if bit 3 = 1,
then .25 mSec is added to the First Pick time.

RTI – Pelton Messaging Protocol for VibPro – I/O
Introduction:
The messaging protocol documented here, is based upon the “A2” messaging
protocol for the Advanced 2. The messages listed here are all the messages used
with the VibPro Encoder and VibPro Encoder Program.
Document Conventions and Notes:

This document describes the message protocol for communication between a
Recording System and the Pelton Vib Pro Encoder. Communications with the Shot
Pro is through the Vib Pro Encoder. All of the data fields use Hexadecimal
format unless otherwise stated.
One of the following methods is used to describe the message contents:
• Field Name with size in bytes in parentheses appended—e.g., Sz(2).

• Literal Characters—e.g., ‘I’.
• The first two bytes are ASCII “A2” (Encoder), or “RS” (Recording System).
• All other data fields are hexadecimal format unless otherwise stated.
• ASCII Pattern enclosed in quotes—e.g., "DDMM.mmmm".
This applies to the GPS Information Message:

A2 Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) . . . "hhmmss" , "DDMM.mmmm" , Open(4) . . . *
ChkSum(1)
Notes:
• The two bytes ‘A2’ appear as the first two bytes in the message.
• The Id field occupies the 4th and 5th bytes in the message whatever its
actual value.
• The commas, spaces and the asterisk literals are shown for clarity only,
and are not part of the message.
• The time field ‘hhmmss’ is an ASCII representation of the time, not an
integer encoding.
All messaging will be via an RS232 port using settings of 19200 Baud, No
Parity, 8 Data Bits, and 1 Stop Bit.

Notes:
Each message has four fields with a common description. They are:
Sz This field contains the number of bytes to follow. The byte count
starts with the Id field and includes the ChkSum byte at the end of
the message.
Id This field contains the identifying number for the message. Its value
is specified in the line above the field description.
Version This field contains the revision level of the particular message. It
does not need to be the same for every message since individual
messages may be revised independently of other messages. The initial
release of the new messaging system will have each message version
set to 1.
ChkSum This field is calculated by forming the exclusive or—XOR—of all bytes
starting with the Id field and including all bytes up to the ChkSum
field. For the Revision Request Message, therefore, the ChkSum will
contain the XOR value of the Id, Version, and Revision fields.
02Mar06
Revision Request Message - Id = 0000:
RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) Revision(2) ChkSum(1)

This message requests the Pelton System to return the revision level of the
messaging system in use. The first byte of the revision will contain major
revision level; the second byte will contain minor revisions or patches to the
major revision. It should be sent during startup to initialize the Recording
System to employ a revision level compatible with that of the Pelton System in
use. The revision number field identifies the revision level of the Recording
System messaging system. The first two digits reflect the major revision level,
while the last two digits reflect minor changes or “patches” to the firmware.
This text reflects major revision level 02 and the first release will have a
revision number of 0201. The response message (Pelton to Recording System
message Id number 6) should be sent immediately upon receipt of this message.
As of June 13, 2002, the release and version number will be 0301.
Some recording systems do not require this exchange of messages to be
implemented. The response message is sent to selected Recording Systems.
Example Message ID=0000 Version=1 Rev=0201:

RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) ShotCoordType(1) ShotCoordSize(1) ShotCoordInfo(?)
ShotId(4) EpId(4) File(4) ChkSum(1)
This message must be sent before the start of each shot. The information
contained in this message is used by the Pelton Computer Programs, and for HFVS.
The EpId field will contain the number (starting from 1 to 99 Dec) of the energy
point in the sequence of energy points that make up the shot.
The File field will contain the tape file number (0-9999 Dec) used for recording
the data of the specified shot or EP. A file number of 0 indicates that no data
will be recorded. The file number of the final stack will be used for interim
Eps.
The ShotCoordType Force to 1. This field is ignored.
The ShotCoordSize field contains the number of bytes used to express the shot
point location in the designated coordinate system. Force to 8. This field is
ignored.
The ShotCoordInfo field contains the actual shot point location. For type 1
ShotCoordType the ShotCoordInfo is Line (4 bytes) and Station (4 bytes) numbers.

The Encoder program stores the shot data, but does NOT send out a new Start Code
message. After receiving this message, the Encoder program sends a DMA message
with the shot data to the VibPro Encoder.
If this message is sent after a sweep starts, there could be a collision between
messages, if the options Delayed PSS or Retransmit Missing PSS are selected. The
VibPro Encoder could optionally send these two messages to the Encoder program
after the sweep starts.
02Mar06
Sequence Code Message - Id = 0002:
RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) SequenceNumber(1) Serial Number(1) ChkSum(1)
This message will contain information for the next shot. The Recording System
must send this message about 1 second before the start command is sent to the
Encoder. With the Shot Pro Encoder if the message is sent during the previous
shot, it must be sent after Time Break and before 1 second after Time Break, or
it may be sent 3 seconds after Time Break. It will not contain a shot or EP
number since these will not have been determined at the time of transmission.
For certain selected recording systems, the response message (Pelton to

Recording System message number 0) will be sent immediately upon receipt of this
message.
With the Shot Pro if the message is sent during the previous shot, then the
response message will be generated after Shot Pro message 9 is sent to the
recorder.
The SequenceNumber field contains the number of the Sweep Profile to be used for
the next shot. The Decoder Group associated with the selected Sweep Profile will
fire. This SequenceNumber must be between 1 and 50. If the number is out of this
range, the Encoder program will select Sweep Profile number 1. The actual number
selected will be in the Verification Message, if it is sent.
The Serial Number field will be an identifier attached by the recording system
and would be returned in the Pelton System Verification message, if sent, to
serve as a cross check on the verification. The Encoder program does not use
this number.

Vibrator/ShotPro GPS Position Request Message - Id = 0006:
RS Sz(2) Id(2) Version(2) Vibrator#/ShotPro#(1) Group#(1) ChkSum(1)
The Vibrator# / ShotPro# field identifies the requested Vibrator or ShotPro Unit
by number, range : 0 - 15 (0x00 - 0x0F).
The Group# field identifies the Vibrator’s Group Number. Valid entries are:
0 for Group A, 1 for Group B, 2 for Group C, and 3 for Group D.

0006 - ID - ID is 0006
04 - Shot Pro Id # 4
00 - Group A
03 - ChkSum - XOR check sum of ID, Ver, Shot Pro Id & Group =03

The Encoder program does not wait for a response from the decoder(s).
If a valid group number (0-3) is in the Group field, then a position request is
sent to ALL the decoders in that group. If a group number greater than 3 is in
the Group field, then a position request is only sent to the decoder number that
is indicated by this message.
The Position message returned by the Vibrators is sent back during PSS time. The
Vibrator number determines PSS time, so, there will be no message collisions. If
there are multiple Shot Pro decoders in a group, and all their positions are
requested, then there will be message collisions, as the Shot Pro decoders will
all transmit at about the same time.
Caution: If position request is sent to a decoder that does not exist, the
Recording System will never receive a response. Even if a decoder exists, there
is the possibility that the Recording System will not receive a response.
Shot Pro firmware before version 3.008 does not support Position Requests.

The main purpose of this message is for managing multiple groups of vibrators
using Source Driven Acquisition. Normally, the Group Ready message is sent to
the Recording System when it is received by the Encoder program. When multiple
groups of vibrators are used, more than one group of vibrators can send a ready
message before the Recording System can act upon the message. In this case, the
newer ready message can be lost, and will need to be resent. The Encoder program
can, if so configured, queue these ready messages. The Recording System Ready
message will cause the Encoder program to send the oldest ready message that it
holds. If no messages are held in the queue, then the next ready message that is
received will be sent on to the Recording System.
02Mar06
The Sz, Id, Version, and ChkSum fields are as described for the Recording System
to Pelton messages.
The messages from the VibPro Encoder program will use an ASCII “A2” as the first
two characters. The ShotPro Encoder is not supported by the VibPro system.

This message verifies the receipt of the Sequence Code Message ID=0002, to
selected Recording Systems.
This message should be returned immediately upon receipt of the Sequence Code
Message. The SerialNumber field identifies the particular sequence number
message being verified. At most one sequence number message will be pending, so
the SerialNumber field provides a check that the two systems are still in synch.
Note: The Sequence number returned in this example could not be 99. The value
would be whatever sequence number was actually used. The sequence number passed
from the Recording System must be between 1 and 50. If it is not, then 1 is
actually used. The 1, in this case, is what would be returned in this
Verification Message.

This message returns the GPS information for a specified shot and EP. Note that
the commas and the asterisk are literals included in the message. The ShotId
and EpId will match the ShotId and EpId field of a previous Recording System
shot message.
The hhmmss field is an ASCII representation of the collection time.
The DDMM.mmmm and N fields are ASCII representations of the latitude of the
vibrator Shot Pro#. Note that the N field may be either ‘N’ or ‘S’—the name N
does not imply either. Similarly, the DDDMM.mmmm (note the additional ‘D’) and W
fields provide an ASCII representation of the longitude of vibrator Unit#. The
W field may, of course, contain either ‘E’ or ‘W’.
The q field has three valid values: ‘0’, ‘1’, and ‘2’ representing invalid,
GPS, and DGPS respectively. The ss field contains an ASCII representation of
the number of satellites used in obtaining the position information.
The H field contains an ASCII digit showing the HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of
Precision) in fractional units.
The ±AAAA.d field contains an ASCII representation of the elevation of the
vibrator. Note that the sign indicator is always present (and almost always
‘+’).The M field contains either ‘M’ or ‘F’ indicating whether the altitude is

Note: Spare (1) and Spare (3) are always zero.
This message, along with the next two messages, constitutes the Enhanced Post
Sweep Service messages. This message contains the Encode Sweep Generator data.
Normally, the ESG data is sent followed by the individual vibrator information
messages. However, it is possible for the messages to be sent in a different
order. The Post Sweep Service messages are sent after each sweep and may or may
not include correlation data for each vibrator.
In addition to the usual protocol fields, this message contains the following
information:
The SeqNo field corresponds to the sequence code (1 – 50) sent in the Sequence
Code message that was sent for this sweep. The SwpNo field contains the current
sweep number.
The Swp Mode indicates the mode of operation; 1 is Keyboard Mode, 2 is Stored
Parameter Mode, 3 is Stored Values Mode
The SwpGenChkSum field contains the checksum generated by the ESG for the entire
message. It should not be confused with the ChkSum field.

The Vibrator PSS Information messages normally follow the ESG message. One
message for each active vibrator is sent after each sweep. Normally, the
vibrator messages will arrive in sequence, but this ordering is not guaranteed.
In addition to the usual protocol fields, these messages have the following
fields:
The Vib# field identifies the current vibrator or Shot Pro by number.
The PSSType field identifies the Post Sweep Service Type.
The SwpNo field identifies the current sweep by number.
The VibChkSum field contains the vibrator checksum. It should not be confused
The PkPhase field contains the un-encoded peak phase value for the sweep in degrees.
The AvgPhase field contains the un-encoded sweep average phase in degrees. The
range for these fields is from -179 to 179 degrees.
The PkForce field contains the un-encoded peak force value for the sweep.
The AvgForce field contains the sweep un-encoded average force value. The range
for these fields is from 0 to 200%.
The PkDist field contains the un-encoded peak distortion value for the sweep.
The AvgDist field contains the un-encoded average distortion value for the
sweep. The range for these fields is from 0 to 99%.
The SwpChkSum field contains the sweep checksum. It should not be confused
The Spare (4) is all 0.
NOTE: If this is a re-transmission of a missing PSS message, the ShotId, and EpId
fields are INVALID, as this information is not persistent in the Encoder program.

The Vibrator PSS Correlation message contains correlation data for each
vibrator. This message has the following fields:
The Vib# field identifies the current vibrator by number.
The Correlation field contains 128 bytes of biased correlation wavelet data.
The Gain field contains the gain factor in MSB LSB order. It is a scaled number.
To obtain the actual gain, convert it to float type, then divide the value here
by 32768. Process the correlation data by multiplying each data byte by the
processed gain value.
The true correlation wavelet is obtained by multiplying each sample in the
Correlation field by the gain value.

UPHOLE SIMULATOR-2
General Description:
The Pelton Uphole Simulator-2 is designed to receive a firing signal from
a Pelton Shot Pro or SPII unit, which are designed to detonate explosive
devices, and to produce a signal similar to the signal that could be
produced by a geophone placed at the top of the shot hole. The CAP wires
of the simulator should be connected to the firing line of the detonator
unit. This connection may be made without regard to polarity. The UPHOLE
cable should be connected to the detonator where the uphole geophone
would normally be connected. The polarity of this connection will
determine whether the first break of the uphole signal is positive or
negative. The geophone signal from the simulator is a fading sinusoidal
wave (starting with a selectable amplitude, with the amplitude decreasing
quickly). The level and timing of the uphole signal wave are
controllable by switches on the front panel of the simulator. The
simulator will also respond to Time Break signals from encoders and
decoders.
LED indicators will show whether Time Break signal from the unit
connected to the ENCODER input occurs at the same time as, or earlier, or
later than the Time Break signal from the unit connected to the DECODER
input or the CAP wires of the simulator.
The unit will also output serial text messages indicating the timing
relationship between the ENCODER and DECODER inputs or the ENCODER and
CAP inputs.
Specifications:
• Power: Internal 9 Volt battery

• Cap Input: 10 to 600 Volts, 4 amps minimum required to trigger a
response.
• ENCODER and DECODER: inputs +2V to +20v
• UPHOLE Output: 0.2, 2, or 4 Volt fading sinusoidal signal,
• Delay of UPHOLE output pulse after CAP input signal: 10, 20, or 40
mSec
• Dimensions: 3” X 6” X 2.25” (76mm X 55mm X 152mm) excluding cables
• Weight: 1.2 lb. (.54 Kg) including battery and cables
• Timing resolution: 1 microsecond
• Serial text messages are sent and received via an RS232 connection,
at 19,200 Baud, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 stop bit.
• A null modem cable should be used to connect the simulator to a
computer.

Operation:
Testing start time accuracy using Time Break from an encoder and the
firing line signal from the HIGH VOLTAGE terminals of a SPII Decoder or
similar device:
1. Press the “ON” button on the simulator and hold it down for at least 2
seconds to turn the simulator ON. The LED by the ON button should stay
on when power is on.
2. Press the TEST switch and observe the >> LED flashing for a few
seconds.
3. Connect the CAP wires of the simulator to the firing line of the
detonator. The Polarity of this connection is not critical.
4. Connect the UPHOLE wires of the simulator to the uphole geophone input
of the detonator. The polarity of this connection will determine whether
the first break of the uphole signal is positive or negative.
5. Connect the Time Break signal from the encoder to the ENCODER BNC
connector on the simulator.
6. Set the DELAY switch for 10, 20, or 40 mSec.
7. Set the OUTPUT switch for 0.2, 2, or 4 Volts.
8. Make the encoder cause the decoder to fire a shot. The microprocessor
in the simulator detects the polarities of the input signals during the
first shot.
9. Make the encoder cause the decoder to fire another shot. The timing
indications should be valid after the second shot.
10. When the detonator box fires, the simulator will do the following:
a. Wait for an amount of time determined by the DELAY switch.
b. Output a sinusoidal signal, the amplitude controlled by the
OUTPUT switch.
c. One of the 3 LED’s above the words “T.B. ADJ.” will illuminate
for a few seconds when the uphole signal is issued. See the
Explanation of Indications section, below.
d. A text message will be issued via the 9 pin D connector,
indicating the timing relationship of the ENCODER and the DECODER
after the uphole signal has been issued.
e. The simulator will be ready for another test after the timing
indicator LED goes out or stops flashing.
11. If desired - Conduct continuity tests on the blasting unit for the
firing line and the uphole line. The results, when connected to the
Uphole Simulator-2, should be 1 Ohm for the firing line and 1,000 Ohms
for the uphole line.
12. The unit will automatically turn it’s self off after about 5
minutes of inactivity.

of the detonator. The polarity of this connection will determine whether
the first break of the uphole signal is positive or negative.
5. Power up the decoder.
6. Conduct continuity tests on the blasting unit for the firing line and
the uphole line. The results, when connected to the Uphole Simupator-2,
should be 1 Ohm for the firing line and 1,000 Ohms for the uphole line.
7. Set the DELAY switch for 10, 20, or 40 mSec.
8. Set the OUTPUT switch for 0.2, 2, or 4 Volts.
9. Charge and Arm the decoder.
10. Make the encoder cause the decoder to fire a shot.
OUTPUT switch.
c. The >> LED will flash for a few seconds.
d. The simulator will be ready for another test after the timing
12. The proper uphole signature should be shown on the SPII’s display
13. If enabled, the PFS data should be transmitted from the decoder and
should appear on the appropriate equipment in the recorder.
14. The unit will automatically turn itself off after about 5 minutes of
inactivity. It may also be turned off by using a computer to send the
simulator a “turn off” message via the 9 pin connector.

Uphole Page 15.1.4
Testing start time accuracy using Time Break signals from two units:
Note: The two units can be an encoder and a decoder, two decoders, a
master encoder and a slave encoder, etc. The source of the time break
signals from both units should be similar, e.g. if two Vib Pros are used,
the Time Break should come from JE or J1 on both units, not from JE on
one unit and J1 on the other.
1. Press the “ON” button on the simulator and hold it down for at least 2
seconds to turn the simulator ON. The LED by the ON button should stay
2. Press the TEST switch and observe the >> LED for a few brief flashes.
3. Connect Time Break signals from the encoder and the second unit to the
ENCODER and the DECODER BNC connectors on the simulator.
4. Make the encoder cause the decoder(s) or slave encoder to start a

sweep or fire a shot. The microprocessor in the simulator detects the
polarities of the input signals during the first shot.
5. Make the encoder cause the decoder(s) or slave encoder to start a

sweep or fire another shot. The timing indications should be valid after
the second start.

OUTPUT switch.
c. One of the 3 LED’s above the words “T.B. ADJ.” will flash when
the uphole signal is issued.
d. A text message will be issued via the 9 pin D connector,

indicating the timing relationship of Time Break signals connected
to the ENCODER and the DECODER BNC connectors, after the uphole
signal has been issued.
e. The simulator will be ready for another test after the timing
7. The unit will automatically turn itself off after about 5 minutes of
inactivity. It may also be turned off by using a computer to send the
simulator a “turn off” message via the 9 pin connector.

Uphole Page 15.1.5
Explanation of Indications:
Serial text messages:
A typical message when comparing Time Break from 2 units is: Time Break
is Good Encoder needs 00000 microseconds of more time Decoder -__-.pulse
Encoder _--_.pulse…..
A typical message when comparing Time Break from an Encoder to the high
voltage signal from a Decoder is: Time Break is Good Encoder needs 00000
microseconds of more time Decoder fire pulse Encoder _--_.pulse…..
1. Pelton’s Serhex32.exe and general terminal emulation programs can be
used to receive and send messages.
2. Timing errors of less than 5 microseconds result in a message
indicating zero error.
3. Messages saying the encoder needs more time indicate Time Break from
the encoder is occurring 5 or more microseconds before the event from the
decoder. A larger value needs to be used for Encoder Delay.
4. Messages saying the encoder needs less time indicate Time Break from
the encoder is occurring 5 or more microseconds after the event from the
decoder. A smaller value needs to be used for Encoder Delay
5. The last two sections of the message show whether the simulator
detected that the input signals were active high or active low. A
message showing -__- indicates the input signal was normally high and
goes low at time break. A message showing _--_ indicates the input
signal was normally low and goes high at time break. As shown above,
when comparing Time Break from an Encoder to the high voltage signal from
a Decoder, the Decoder section of the message will show the word fire
instead of showing the polarity of the high voltage signal.
LED Indications:
There are three timing indicator LED’s.
They are labeled << IN RANGE and >>.
1. A steady << light indicates the encoder is starting 10 or more
microseconds after the decoder.
2. A steady >> light indicates the encoder is starting 20 or more
microseconds before the decoder.
3. A steady IN RANGE light indicates the encoder is starting at the same
time the decoder is, -20 to +10 microseconds.
4. The >> LED flashes several times if a decoder time break was detected
but none was detected for the encoder. The >> LED will also flash
several times if the TEST button is pressed with the unit powered up.
5. The << LED flashes several times if an encoder time break was
detected but none was detected for the decoder.
6. The LED beside the ON button is the power on indicator. It will be
on any time the simulator is on.
01Mar06
Uphole Page 15.1.6
Troubleshooting:
Battery Life:
The battery life is usually quite long.
Low battery will cause one or more of the following indications:
1. Wrong delay between shot and uphole signal
2. Dim LED indications
3. Low uphole signal amplitude
4. Erratic text messages
Uphole Signal:
The amplitude of the uphole signal will be affected by the load the
detonator presents to the uphole signal line. The voltages listed around
the VOLTS switch are accurate if the load is about 2000 Ohms.
Firing Current:
The firing signal must be greater than 4 Amps for the simulator to
respond.

sand or snow storms, or any time where there is a high static
electricity condition.
USE OF EXPLOSIVES
For this subsection, "use" means handling, loading, and detonating
explosives to create elastic waves within the earth. Explosives must not
be used for any other purpose. Procedures that ensure safe handling and
storage of explosives at the work area must be established before
explosives are transported to work area. If in doubt, contact your
supplier before receiving explosives.
1. While at the work area, explosives that are not being used must be
kept in a magazine or in suitable containers. The magazines must be
kept closed, and the doors or lids secured and locked except when
explosives are being removed or replaced. Locks and lock covers
should be of sufficient quality to ensure the security of the
explosives.
2. There must be no smoking, fire, or open flame within 15 m (50 ft.)

of any explosive.
3. Any fire or open flame within 50 m (150 ft.) of any explosive shall
not be upwind from the explosive.
4. Shooters and shooters' helpers should wear appropriate protective

devices such as hard hats, ear and eye protection.
01Mar06
Safety Page 16.1.9
Procedures that ensure safe handling, preparation, and loading of
explosive charges shall be established before loading is started.
1. No equipment, persons, or activity other than that required for
loading holes with explosives shall be near the hole. All persons
in the vicinity of the hole shall be able to hear, see, or otherwise
be aware of any order, warning, or hazardous situation. When
loading a pattern of holes with more than one loading crew, the
crews shall be separated by distances consistent with safe operation
and supervision of crews.
2. Explosives other than the charge being loaded must not be closer
that 3 m (10 ft) of a loaded hole or 8 m (25 ft) of a hole being
loaded, except when explosives are carried in a ready box on the
drilling unit that is used in the loading process. Use special
precautions if explosives other than the charge being loaded are
closer than 8 m (25 ft) of a hole being loaded.
3. All holes shall be sufficiently large so that the explosive
cartridge can be easily inserted.
A. The loader shall check the hole before loading in order to
ensure that it is open to a safe depth.
B. Load holes immediately after drilling, if possible.
4. Only the explosives required to make up one charge should be removed
from the ready box or supply.
A. Do not make up or detonate charges in advance.
B. Load a charge immediately after it is made up.
5. Do not prime the charge until it is at the hole and is ready to

load.
6. Priming must be in accordance with the manufacturer's

recommendations, and may vary from one explosive product to another.
A. Insert detonators in holes provided by the manufacturer or in

holes made with a suitable tool of non-sparking material.
B. Primes charges as near to the top of the charge as is safe.
C. After the detonator has been inserted in the charge, place two
half-hitches of the detonator leads around the charge in order
to prevent strain on the detonator.
D. When a charge is made up of more than one cartridge, load the
primed stick last or at the top. When the charge is loaded in
the hole, and before any stemming (hole plugging) is done,
check the circuit with an approved blaster's galvanometer.
Stand clear of the hole while testing.
01Mar06
Safety Page 16.1.10
7. Unfold or unspool the detonator leads only as necessary in order to
lower the primed charge. Never toss or throw a detonator in the
air, or extend them along the ground until the charge is in place.
8. Loading poles shall be of wood or other non-conducting material that

does not collect static electricity. Connectors, stingers, spoons,
and any other metal parts shall be non-sparking.
9. No sparking material shall be exposed on any part of the mechanical

loading device that may come in contact with the explosive.
10. When lowering the charge, avoid excessive strain, kinking, or

abrasion of the detonator lead wires. When necessary, use rope or
other non-conductive cord to lower a heavy charge.
11. When using loading poles or tools, use only steady pressure to
overcome the buoyancy of the charge. The charge shall never be
jarred or struck with loading poles or tools.
12. When weights are used to decrease the buoyancy of a charge, they
shall be non-sparking material or fastened to the charge with a non-
conductive material.
13. After a primed charge has been loaded, do not try to retrieve it
unless detonating or abandoning it would create an undue hazard.
Use extreme caution when retrieving a primed charge. As soon as the
charge is withdrawn, carefully remove the detonator.
14. Use suitable means, such as charge anchors or stemming, to ensure

the charge does not float. To determine that the charge is at the
proper depth, gently pull the detonator leads until the weight of
the charge is felt, measure and subtract the remaining detonator
lead from the total detonator lead length usually noted on the
spool.
15. Employees must be instructed in the proper procedure for plugging

shot holes after loading.
A. Use only inert substances for the stemming material.
B. When the stemming material is to be compacted with a non-

sparking loading pole, place at least 60 cm (2 ft) of the
material above the charge before using the loading poles.
01Mar06
Safety Page 16.1.11
16. Before detonating any explosive, ensure the safety of employees, the
public, livestock, wildlife, and the property.
A. The shooter must be in control of the shot point area and

stationed a safe distance before initiation of the shot. The
shooter must know the size and depth of the charge, how the
shot hole is tamped or plugged, proximity to power lines or any
other structures or installation, and the presence of any
persons in the vicinity of the shot point.
B. The shooter at this station must have an unobstructed view of

the shot point area, or should station spotters about the area
to signal when the area is clear.
C. The shooter must determine the time of the shot, but the shot
instant may be provided remotely from the recording
instruments. If a remote devise is used, the blasting machine
shall have at least one "dead man" type switch that the shooter
must close in order to complete the circuit.
D. The firing line must be shunted before detonator leads are

connected, and must be kept shunted until connected to the
blasting machine.
E. The connections must be carefully made, and all wires well

insulated and in good condition. Pattern holes must use a
series circuit firing line.
F. Blasting machines must be capable of delivering current in

excess of that required to fire all the detonators in the
circuit. Use only series circuits. All detonators used in any
single shot must be of the same function and manufacturer. Do
not mix unlike detonators.
G. Test the blasting machines periodically using procedures

recommended by the manufacturer in order to determine that they
are capable of delivering power at the rated capacity.
H. Before a shot is fired, a loud warning signal shall be given by

the person in charge, who has made certain that all surface
explosives are in a safe location, all persons and conveyances
are at a safe distance or under sufficient cover.
I. If there are any misfires, it is recommended that all persons

stay away from the charge for at least one half hour. It is
not recommended to reprime a loaded hole, except in supervised
circumstances.
01Mar06
Safety Page 16.1.12
J. Whenever the detonator leads or firing line might be thrown
over a power line by the force of an explosion, ensure that the
total length of wires is kept too short to hit the lines, and
that the wires are securely anchored to the ground at the shot
hole.
K. A shot hole should not be drilled closer than two times the
projected hole depth from a power line unless precautions are
taken for hole blow. If a firing line wire is thrown on to a
power line, post a guard and call the power company to remedy
the situation. Do not touch the blasting machine.
L. When a cased hole is shot, take special precautions to ensure

against possible injury from casing being ejected from the shot
hole.
M. Shooters and shooter's helpers should remain upwind and avoid

breathing smoke, fumes, and dust from the shot. These may
cause severe headaches and nausea.
N. Always beware of possible delayed blowouts up to five minutes
after the initial shot.
O. Never use more than one firing line in order to avoid
connecting to the wrong firing line and detonating a different
charge than the one intended.
P. Shooter should check detonator lead and observe the amount of
lead exposed. Occasionally, a charge will be pulled toward
surface or float if not properly tamped or loaded.
