Viperdet MS Dual is a non-electric detonator assembly with a high strength in-hole detonator on one end and a low shrapnel surface detonator in a colour coded connector on the other.
A colour coded label marked with the specified delay is attached to the shock tube within 10cm of the connector.
Viperdet MS Dual is used for initiation of explosives in open-pit mines, underground non-coal and non-methane mines, quarries and construction works. Viperdet MS Dual detonators may be used in underground mines, where there is no coal dust and/or methane explosion hazard. The connector can hold up to 6 shock tubes and is designed to ensure easy connection, and reliable initiation while minimizing shrapnel damage to the shock tube.
Detonator strength: In-hole No. 8, Surface No. 3.
Shell material: Aluminium.
Shock tube: Triple extruded polyethylene exterior over surlyn inner.
Connector material: PE.
Nominal VOD of shock tube: 2000 m/s.
Resistance to hydrostatic pressure: 48 hrs at 1 MPa.
Maximum number of shock tubes inserted into a Viperdet Trunkline connector is six (6).
Primary initiation by electronic detonator, electric detonator, or shock tube starter.
