    Uploaded by

    Carlos Eduardo Flores Torres
    1. The A-140 F detonator assembly contains a 49mm aluminum shell filled with 5 grains of RDX explosive and two 27 ohm resistors connected to copper leg wires for initiation. 2. The detonator has a no-fire current of 0.2 amps and an all-fire current of 0.8 amps to ensure reliable initiation. 3. The detonator is fluid disabled and can withstand temperatures up to 350°F for safe handling and arming procedures.

    Explosive Handling and shunt.
    Arming of a Gun
    • Connect the ground lead wire and the hot
    lead wire of the detonator to the gun

    • Remove the tape covering the fluid


    disabling holes of the detonator.

    • Slide the detonator into the slotted hole


    of the block, aligning the holes with the
    slot. Detonators should bottom out on
    the retaining wire.

    • Slide cord through the cord hole of the


    block as you push the block into the gun.

    • To remove detonator, only pull on the


    Fluid Desensitized shell of the detonator.

    Never pull on the leg wires !
