 standards of the seismic industry. Recommended Firing Energy >10 amps
 The high strength of ELECTRIC SUPER SEISMIC detonators can make a successful
 shot out of a potential failure, especially when blasting at low temperatures, high
 hydrostatic conditions or seismic environment. The two part pressured fit sealing plug,
 combined with a newly designed adhesion compound, ensures protection from the

 No Fire Impulse 8 mJ/ohms • NEVER use Dyno Nobel seismic explosive products and/or components with
 explosive products and/or components made by other manufacturers
 All Fire Impulse 16 mJ/ohms
 • ALWAYS use a single series hook-up, limit the number of ELECTRIC SUPER SEISMIC
 detonators in the series to 25 and use a capacitor discharge blasting machine that
 will deliver a firing current greater than 10 amps RMS to the circuit for optimum
 performance in single-shot firing and pattern shooting

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
ELECTRIC SUPER™ SEISMIC PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 The ELECTRIC SUPER SEISMIC detonator is ideally suited
Electric Seismic Detonator - New Series for geophysical exploration work because it fires with no appreciable time lag between
 the application of the proper current/amperes and detonation. In addition to superior
 accuracy, the ELECTRIC SUPER SEISMIC detonator provides high output strength and
 SDS impact resistance. With its copper shell, the ELECTRIC SUPER SEISMIC also offers
 Properties #1178
 improved corrosion resistance, even in the most severe seismic environments.
