Function distance is manually set without tools.

Main Characteristics

Electrically ignited time fuse

Highly sensitive impact detector

Distance setting : 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800 & 2100 [m]

Safety Features

Safety for storage, transport and handling (NO pull-wires)

Trajectory safety ensured by a sophisticated mechanical SAD

Electronic module additionally ensures safety features

Sterilization : 60 min. after impact the fuse does not, and can not generate the necessary energy to be accidentally ignited, the shell can thus be handled safely after one hour.

NO STORED ENERGY prior to firing
