APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 • Recommended firing current:
 Series wiring: a minimum of 2 amps AC or 1.5 amps DC
 Parallel wiring: a minimum of 1 amp AC or DC per detonator
 Series-in-parallel wiring: a minimum of 2 amps AC or DC per series
 • The maximum recommended continuous firing current is 10 amps per detonator.
 • NEVER use an ELECTRIC SUPER STARTER detonator with other Dyno Nobel electric
 detonators or electric detonators from another manufacturer. Wiring different brand
 electric detonators together in a blast circuit may result in misfires and is in violation
 of federal regulations. Even though some types of Dyno Nobel electric detonators
 are electrically compatible, they should not be used together as a standard blasting
 practice.
 • NEVER use electric detonators near radio frequency transmitters unless in accordance
 with IME SLP 20.
