The AXXIS CEBS (central electronic blasting system) is the newest generation of AXXIS technology. The AXXIS CEBS electronic initiation system incorporates numerous handling, performance, and safety improvements.
The AXXIS CEBS electronic initiation system is comprised of the following components:
1. AXXIS UG Logger.
2. AXXIS CEBS Key Logger.
3. AXXIS CEBS Blasting Box.
4. Blastmap Underground blast design software.
Supported Electronic Delay Detonators (EDDs):AXXIS Silver.
The AXXIS CEBS is designed for use in most general and specialized mining and underground blasting operations. The AXXIS CEBS complies with ARP 1717-1 and SANS1717-3: The South African National Standard for the design and approval of EDD initiation systems for mining and civil applications.

Supported EDDs may only be programmed, tested, and fired with AXXIS UG Loggers and AXXIS CEBS Boxes. Do not attempt to program, test, or fire supported EDDs with any other blasting equipment. Never mix electronic delay detonators and/or components from different manufacturers.
AXXIS CEBS Loggers and Blasting Boxes need to be calibrated and serviced by BME qualified personnel or providers every 2 years.
Always use AXXIS harness wire to tie-in blasts. Do not substitute similar looking harness wire as the performance specifications may not be the same.
Although BME supported EDD cables are engineered and constructed for challenging work environments, care should still be exercised when loading and stemming to avoid cutting or damaging downlines.
CEBS Boxes
All AXXIS CEBS Blasting Boxes are the same. Each AXXIS CEBS Box is configurable as either a Blasting Box with the UG Logger or a Controller Box with the CEBS Key Logger. Blasting Box operation is simple, with double rotary switches for switching a box on, placing it in standby mode, and opening communications channels to fire the blast. Communication is achieved by means of Ethernet cable, Fiber and/or Copper backbone.
Blaster Box
AXXIS CEBS Boxes configured as Blaster Boxes are placed at each blast location and connected to the bus wire harness. No power is supplied to the detonators until system status check is launched with the key logger via the Controller Box at blasting time. Backbone communication can be verified from the Key Logger without powering the EDDs.
Each Blaster Box can fire up to 800 detonators. Up to 20 Blaster boxes can be interconnected on the backbone and controlled from a central point.
The total combined number of EDDs that can be fired in a single blast is 16 000.
Testing of the AXXIS Silver EDDs and the harness lines is performed using the AXXIS UG Logger before the harness line is connected to the Blaster Box. After the AXXIS CEBS detonators and the harness lines have passed testing by the AXXIS UG Logger, the harness line is connected to the AXXIS CEBS Blaster Box. The AXXIS CEBS Blaster Box is switched on and the unit performs a self-test. Once the self-test is completed the AXXIS CEBS Blasting Box is initialised using the AXXIS UG Logger and then switched into stand-by mode to open the communications channel. There is no energy supplied to the EDDs in stand-by mode.
Controller Box
An AXXIS CEBS Box in a central location is configured as a Controller Box. The Controller Box requires the presence of a AXXIS CEBS Key Logger to authorise the start of the blasting process. On status check of the system with the Controller Box, each Blaster Box then powers up its detonators, and testing routines automatically start and continue until firing time. Detonators respond by exception, allowing a quick testing time and immediate warnings to the operator through the colour screen on the Controller Box and the Key Logger.
AXXIS UG Loggers are robust electronic instruments that are engineered to be water and dust resistant (IEC 60529 IP65 and IP67) and drop shock resistant (IEC 60069-2-32: 1975).
AXXIS UG Loggers are not waterproof - do not submerge AXXIS UG Loggers in water.
The AXXIS UG Logger may be operated in temperatures from -30 °C to a maximum of +60 °C. If the application requires use outside of this temperature range please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.
AXXIS UG Loggers are robust electronic instruments that need to be used, charged, and stored with care. The AXXIS UG Logger may be stored in temperatures from -40°C to a maximum of +70°C. Please consult with a BME Technical Representative for site specific guidance.
