Viperdet Dual is the equivalent of using a Viperdet MS and a Viperdet QS together.
The surface connector can be used to connect to other Viperdet Dual units to nearby blast holes, providing delayed initiation timing.
Viperdet Dual non-electric detonators must not be used in flammable environments such as methane or coal dust.
Viperdet non-electric detonators are safe against extraneous electric currents except lightning.
Detonator strength: No. 8 detonator fitted with a double crimp.
Shock tube: Orange, with three layers coiled in a 'Figure 80' for ease of deployment and the avoidance of tangles. The shock tube is resistant to abrasion and designed to elongate to avoid tensile strength damage under normal use conditions.
Connector: Plastic, designed to initiate up to eight shock tubes. Colour-coded blocks are used to distinguish different delay periods.
Label: Water resistant. Laser printing provides clear and smudge resistant timing and product information.
Viperdet Dual non-electric detonators can be used to prime the full range of BME's detonator sensitive products.
To prevent a snap, slap, and shoot incident (unexpected detonation) never pull or stretch non-electric shock tube to the point of breaking.
This product may be used in ground temperatures up to a maximum of 65°C (150°F).
If the application requires use outside of this temperature range please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.
