KAPEKSDET MS is a short delaynon-electric initiation system. It is used as an in-hole detonator at surface and underground mines, quarries and construction works.
KAPEKSDET MS can be initiated with KAPEKSDET shock tube surface delay elements, electrical caps or any detonating cord with minimum 5gr/m or higher PETN. Care should be taken while carrying and using the detonators. Detonators should not be hold inside your palm of hand and should not be pointed towards your body. Never stretch the tube excessively which may break it. Otherwise an unintended detonation may occur. Shock tube should not be damaged during charging or stemming. Surface initiation tie-up design should be carefully carried out. Same delay period KAPEKSDET MS in-hole detonators should be used for all blastholes in a blast and depending on the application, different KAPEKSDET SD surface connectors should be used to control the firing sequence. When using with the detonating cord, connections should be made at right angles to avoid shrapnel effects.
KAPEKSDET MS assemblies are coiled in figure 8 or figure O,packedin anti-static polyethylene bags and put into cardboard boxes. Each box is barcoded and each detonator has a serial number for traceability.
