Signal Cables
Surface cables and the EasyProbe System.
The EasyProbe System is the latest accessory of Kontinitro SA. Specially designed for V.O.D in the blast hole, it uses fiber optic technology to collect 5 V.O.D measurements in one blast. The measurement method is simple and effective, we use the light generated during the explosion to measure the speed of detonation of the explosive.
Section
The EasyProbe cable
Unique in its kind, the EasyProbe cable was specially designed to record detonation speeds from the blast hole. Thanks to its six optical probes, it records, on a length of 14.80 feet, 4.5 meters, five V.O.D measurements. Apart from its ease of use, the blast hole cable is also insensitive to electromagnetic fields and works in both dry and wet holes.
Section
The Surface Cable
Specially designed for rough conditions, a MEMU can drive on it without causing any damage. With its plug made of special connectors and reinforced optical fibers, the role of the Surface Cable is to transmit, without any loss, the data recorded during the blast to the Explomet.

Common questions
How many V.O.D measurements does the EasyProbe deliver?+
Five V.O.D measurements per blast over a 4.5 meter, 14.80 feet probe length, thanks to six optical probes distributed along the cable.
Does the EasyProbe work in wet blast holes?+
Yes. The EasyProbe was designed for blast hole conditions and operates in both dry and wet holes, while remaining insensitive to electromagnetic fields.
What does the Surface Cable do?+
The Surface Cable transmits the optical signal recorded by the EasyProbe to the Explomet instrument without loss. It is reinforced for rough surface conditions and a MEMU can drive over it without damage.
