User’s Manual

1. Safety

Because this equipment is used with explosives, extreme caution must be observed. Make

sure you know the safety regulations and follow them.

•Follow the correct procedures.

•Shooters and helpers must wear hard hats.

•Keep non-essential people far away from the shot point (both members of the public and

crew personnel).

•Always keep CAP lines shorted together when it is not safe to Fire the shot.

•Only connect CAP lines to the Boom Box 3 when it is safe to Fire the shot.

•Never press the ARM or Charge switch on the Boom Box 3 unless it is safe to Fire the

shot.

•Only shoot when ready and safe. Observe local safety regulations.

•Do not shoot in stormy weather.

•Do not fire shots close to power lines without ensuring that there is no possibility of cap

wires coming into contact with the power lines.

•Do not shoot close to high-power radio transmitters.

•After the shot:

oMake sure all the charges at a multiple/pattern shot have detonated.

oKeep a record of any shots, which it was not possible to fire. They must be

disposed of safely.

The Seismic Source Company does not represent that this manual is entirely comprehensive,

accurate or covers each and every safety topic or risk which may be encountered by those using

this manual and the Seismic Source Company disclaims all responsibility and liability for any such

2. Boom Box 3 System Description

The Boom Box 3 (BB3) is a new generation of Blasters for Seismic Exploration.

The BB3 is specifically designed to operate more efficiently with autonomous continuous Seismic

Recording systems.

The BB3’s main features are:

•Internal Clock is synchronized to GPS time.

•All Shot data including shot times to microsecond accuracy is stored in non-volatile

memory in the unit.

•Wi-Fi HTML interface that allows viewing of shot information and setting BB3 parameters

on many Cell phones, PCs, or Tablet computer

•Shot timing is synchronized to GPS clock for firing on 8 msec sample boundaries. This

assures no sample skew on most autonomous seismic recording systems.

•Compatible with older Boom Box units in standard VP radio mode. This allows the newer

BB3 units to operate with the older Boom Box equipment on the same crew.

•Multiple Modes of operation

oAutonomous mode –Decoder unit’s use GPS time to fire the shots. No Encoder

unit or Radio telemetry is required. Multiple shooters can be used with no overlap

of shot times.

oStandard Radio Mode –(UE/VP Mode) Decoders receive start commands from

central Encoder unit via a VHF/UHF radio. Compatible with older Boom Box

units operating in VP mode.

oF3 Radio Mode. The F3 radio mode is used to start the Boom Box 3 on an exact

GPS time. The Encoder and radio are still used to send the radio start codes to the

Decoder unit. The precise GPS time of the Fire is sent to the Decoder and the

Decoder unit fires the shot at the precise time requested. This mode is especially

useful when using digital radios with unknown or variable modulation delays.

2.1.1 Boom Box 3 and Boom Box differences

There are important differences between the Boom Box 3 and the older Boom Box unit

Decoder Cable

The BB3 Decoder cable has an added wire for the PPS pulse from the GPS receiver. The BB3 can

operate with the older Boom Box decoder cable, but the GPS time will not be set. The BB3 will

communicate and operate the same as the older Boom Box unit with the old Boom Box cable.

The new BB3 decoder cable should not be used with the older Boom Box units. The PPS pulse

from the GPS will be grounded by the older Boom Box units. This could damage the GPS

receiver.

Parameter Loading

The basic parameters of the BB3 can be loaded using the older Source Control software. However,

many of the new parameters of the BB3 must be loaded using either the Wi-Fi interface or the

SourceLink software.

User’s Manual

GPS Baud Rate

The BB3 is set to use GPS receivers set at 19.2 K baud rate

The older boom box is set to use GPS receivers set at 9600 baud rate.

Geophone Test

The BB3 includes detailed geophone tests. These tests assure that the uphole geophone is planted

correctly and is operational. The Geophone tests the following parameters:

•Resistance –measures DC resistance –Geophone must be connected.

•Frequency –geophone must be planted in vertical position for frequency to pass.

•Damping - geophone must be planted in vertical position for damping to pass.

•Sensitivity -geophone must be planted in vertical position for sensitivity to pass.

The older Boom Box unit only tested the Geophone resistance.

Radio Telemetry

The BB3 uses a new radio telemetry interface. This new interface is designed to provide a robust

and reliable connection to most VHF and UHF radios. The BB3 uses the same radio telemetry

design as the Force 3 vibrator electronics.

When the BB3 is set to maximum radio modulation level, the radio interface requires a similar

interface as the older Boom Box units. The same “Radio Pigtails” should work for both the BB3

and the Boom Box unit.

The BB3 may require different radio polarity than the older Boom Box units. The Microphone and

Speaker polarity should be tested for optimum operation.

When different radios or different radio polarities are used with the BB3 units, there may be a start

time difference between the BB3 and the older Boom Box units. The “Decoder Delay” entry of the

Boom Box 3 can be used to match the start times of the older Boom Box units.

9 BOOM BOX 3 Dynamite Controller

2.2.1 BB3 Autonomous Mode:

The Boom Box 3 can be used in Autonomous mode. In this mode the Decoder units use GPS time

to fire the shots. No Encoder unit or Radio telemetry is required. Multiple shooters can be used

with no overlap of shots times. The Units and Record length can be assigned using the User

Interface software. For further details refer to BB3 autonomous Mode section.

2.3.1 Standard Radio Mode:

The Boom Box 3 system is used to synchronize and control dynamite operation on seismic

recording crews. A typical system includes at least one Boom Box 3 set up as a Decoder, and one

Universal Encoder II (UE2) for the Encoder.

The Encoder unit interfaces the Seismic Recording System with a radio system, which

communicates to the Decoder system. The Recording System sends a start command to the

Encoder, which causes the Encoder to send a fire command to the Decoder. The Decoder receives

the Fire command and will fire the CAP if the Decoder unit is ARMED and Charged. While the

Decoder unit fires the CAP, the Encoder issues a Time Break signal to the Recording System.

After the shot is fired the Decoder records the signal from the Uphole Geophone and transmits this

data along with other QC data to the Encoder.

User’s Manual

2.4.1 Encoder System consists of the following:

•Universal Encoder 2

•Recording System Interface:

oRemote Start –signal from Recording System, which starts Boom Box 3 Encoder.

oTime Break –T.B. –signal from Boom Box 3 Unit when voltage is applied to

High Voltage for Cap firing.

oAux 1 –Analog Uphole –BB3 firmware prior to 15.14, Analog line where uphole

geophone signal is reproduced at 3.5 seconds after Time Break. An analog pulse

at 3.0 second is used to check timing accuracy of system and another analog pulse

at 3.25 seconds confirms that current flowed to the CAP. BB3 firmware 15.14 and

newer, Analog line where uphole geophone signal is reproduced at 2 seconds after

Time Break. An analog pulse at 1.0 second is used to check timing accuracy of

system and another analog pulse at 1.5 seconds confirms that current flowed to the

CAP.

oAux 2 –BB3 firmware prior to 15.14, Timing pulses at 3.0, 3.25, 3.5 seconds after

Time Break. –BB3 firmware 15.14 and newer, Timing pulses at 1.0, 1.5, 2

seconds after Time Break.

oCOM 2 –Recording System Serial Interface plug. Connects to Recording System

for data communication.

oEthernet Port
