Description
Electric Shock Tube Starter is an instantaneous electric detonator (IED), which nominally detonates without delay on application of the electric firing current.
The aluminium detonator is partially filled with an initiating charge of lead azide and Pentaerythritoltetranitrate (PETN).
The unit is fitted with a fuse head (HiFIRE Type F) to which two insulated copper wires of 1.3 mm diameter are welded. The wires pass through a plug which is crimped into the open end of the tube.
