TECHNICAL DATA SHEET DESCRIPTION

RIOTRONIC XS detonators are the most secure electronic

initiation systems for seismic exploration, made by MAXAM
Initiation Systems, reliable and rugged able to meet the most
demanding environments.

The RIOTRONIC XS system provides great time accuracy, safety in

use, and moreover presents higher versatility than other
conventional initiation systems.

The RIOTRONIC XS detonators are easily used without the need to

program them which gives a high level of flexibility and reduces
the time involved for the shot to enlarge the performance.

Its great precision permits to achieve highly satisfactory results,

reducing firing process time, improvement of performance,
enhancement of safety during the handling, and firing.

APPLICATION

RIOTRONIC XS has been designed to fire single or pattern

(multiple) shot points up to 20 at the same time.

RIOTRONIC XS is manufactured in a variety of duplex iron leg

wire to satisfy a wide range of seismic projects,

SHELF LIFE

RIOTRONIC XS up to 5 years under good storage conditions.
