Product Description
Viperdet SCX non-electric detonators permit blast sequencing by introducing intervals of delay times in between blast holes through the use of easy surface connections. Viperdet SCX non-electric detonator assemblies consist of a specific length of yellow shock tube, a low strength low shrapnel detonator, and a surface connector that can hold between one and six shock tubes.
Application
The Viperdet SCX offers greater versatility in the timing design of any blast when used together with Viperdet MS, Viperdet LP or Viperdet Dual. The plastic, color-coded connector can accept six shock tubes.
Viperdet SCX 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.
Features
Detonator strength: Low strength, low shrapnel surface delay detonator
Shock tube: The yellow coloured shock tube is resistant to abrasion and designed to elongate to avoid tensile strength damage under normal use conditions. Shock tube coiled in "Figure 80"' configuration for ease of deployment and avoids tangles.
Label tag: Water resistant. Laser printing provides clear and smudge resistant timing and product information.
Connector: Plastic, anti-slip grip designed to initiate up to six shock tubes. Colour-coded blocks are used to distinguish different delay periods.
Guidelines for Use
Priming and Initiation
Viperdet SCX must never be used to initiate detonating cord such as trunklines for pre-splits.
To prevent a snap, slap, and shoot incident (unexpected detonation) never pull or stretch non-electric shock tube to the point of breaking.
Ground Temperature
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.
Handling and Storage
All explosives must be transported and stored in accordance with relevant local, state and federal regulations.
Viperdet SCX shelf life is 36 months when stored in the original packaging, under dry conditions and moderate temperate, and in a well ventilated and approved magazine.
