Black detonator box

Abstract

A detonator includes a substrate, a controller mounted on the substrate, and a sensor coupled to the controller to measure temperature, pressure, acceleration, or other environmental information and / or the electrical state of the detonator's internal electronics. The controller is configured to store the measured environmental parameter and / or electrical state in a detonator memory, transmit the stored data from the detonator to a remote master controller, execute an action in response to a measured environmental parameter value, and / or prevent or modify at least one detonator function in response to the data obtained.
