ABSTRACT:
A method for wirelessly transmitting data to a control unit, such as a blasting machine, selected from a plurality of control units from an operating device selected from a plurality of operating devices, and a system intended for the method. The control unit is connected to a plurality of detonators, which are controlled by the control unit via an electrical wire or a fuse. The operating device is associated with the appropriate control unit in a step in which address data and/or encryption data is exchanged between the units. Only one operating device can be associated with a pre-determined control unit at any given moment. The data transmitted in accordance with the method preferably comprises at least a fire command, which instructs the control unit to fire the detonators.
