ML4.b. of Division 2 of Part I.
Note:
include detonators using only primary
explosives, such as lead azide.
Technical Note:
In Category Code 3A232 the
detonators of concern all utilise a
small electrical conductor (bridge,
bridge wire or foil) that explosively
vaporises when a fast, high-current
electrical pulse is passed through it. In
nonslapper types, the exploding
conductor starts a chemical
detonation in a contacting high-
explosive material such as PETN
(Pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In
slapper detonators, the explosive
vaporisation of the electrical
conductor drives a flyer or slapper
across a gap and the impact of the
slapper on an explosive starts a
chemical detonation. The slapper in
some designs is driven by a magnetic
force. The term exploding foil
detonator may refer to either an EB or
a slapper-type detonator. Also, the
word initiator is sometimes used in
place of the word detonator.

1. Maintenance Level I
The failure of an inertial navigation
unit is detected on the aircraft by
indications from the control and
display unit (CDU) or by the status
message from the corresponding
subsystem. By following the
manufacturer’s manual, the cause of
the failure may be localised at the
level of the malfunctioning line
replaceable unit (LRU). The operator

Code HS Code
then removes the LRU and replaces it
with a spare.
2. Maintenance Level II
The defective LRU is sent to the
maintenance workshop (the
manufacturer’s or that of the operator
responsible for Level II maintenance).

malfunctioning LRU is tested by
various appropriate means to verify
and localise the defective shop
replaceable assembly (SRA) module
responsible for the failure. This SRA is
removed and replaced by an operative
spare. The defective SRA (or possibly
the complete LRU) is then shipped to
the manufacturer.
