NONEL LP units are designed to provide in-hole delays for underground (non-
coal) or special construction blasting applications that require long period delay 9 / 3100 Black
times to improve relief and fragmentation (such as drift development, shaft
raising/sinking, stope applications or tunnelling rounds). They are typically used
with detonating cord. Hazardous Shipping Description
 Detonator Assemblies, Non-electric for Blasting, 1.1B, UN 0360
Features and Benefits

lies, Non-electric for Blasting, 1.1B, UN 0360
Features and Benefits
The NONEL LP detonator provides increased water hammer resistance in blasting
applications where saturated ground conditions exist. The NONEL LP shock tube
exhibits excellent handling characteristics and enables longer sleep times down
the hole. The NONEL LP Series has a colour-coded stamped cord clip for easy
identification.

Application Recommendations Application Recommendations (continued)

ALWAYS use the plastic J-Hook when using a detonating cord trunkline to tie-in Sleep Time - The sleep time of the NONEL LP Series is dependent on the
NONEL LP nonelectric delay detonators. A minimum 3.6 g/m (18 gr/ft) detonating temperature and type of explosive in contact with the unit. Please contact Dyno
cord trunkline is required for use with the J-Hook. Nobel for further information.
 Water Resistance - The NONEL LP Series provides excellent water resistance.
ALWAYS ensure the shock tube is connected at right angles to the detonating
cord trunkline and that the shock tube leads returning to the hole collar do not Ground Temperature - The NONEL LP Series can be safely used in ground with
cross over or lay near any detonating cord trunkline. If the detonating cord a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.
touches the shock tube or is closer than 15 cm (6 inches), the shock tube may be
damaged and misfires may result. Shelf Life - For maximum shelf life (3 years), NONEL LP units must be stored in
 a cool, dry, well ventilated magazine. Explosive inventory should be rotated. Avoid
ALWAYS connect detonating cord using approved knots and tight connections. using new materials before old stocks have been depleted.
Place detonating cord hook-ups in closed loops and use with cross-ties.

NEVER cut or trim seals from the shock tube of a NONEL LP delay. If shock Packaging
tubing is cut or is suspected of being cut or damaged during loading, ALWAYS
reprime the blast-hole using a new unit of the same delay period. Length (m) Case Count Configuration

NEVER drive any equipment over shock tube or detonating cord. Whenever 3.6 250 Coil

Application of NONEL LP Sidewinder® Series Safe handling, transportation and storage
 First Aid – You can find detailed first aid information on the relevant Dyno Nobel
 Safety Data Sheet. Refer to www.dynonobel.com for more information if required.
 Safety - All explosives are classified as dangerous goods and can cause personal
 injury and damage to property if used incorrectly.
 Transportation and Storage - All explosives must be handled, transported and
 stored in accordance with all relevant regulations. Stock should be rotated such
 that older product is used first.

Sidewinder® is the winding configuration for NONEL LP series 5.4m. It has been
specifically designed to reduce the occurrence of tangling of this shorter tube
length on deployment. Each bundle holds 5 Sidewinder ® coils.
Step 1. Hold the bundle of five (5) Sidewinder coils by the loop where detonator
 bases are pointing down and facing away from your body.
Step 2. To separate the five (5) Sidewinder coils, remove the rubber band.
 Leave each tube coiled within its Sidewinder sleeve.
Step 3. Make up primer according to mine standards.
Step 4. Push the primer into the hole. The tube will unravel from its sleeve. The
 remainder of the tube will remain in the sleeve, thus preventing loose
 tubes hanging down the face.
Step 5. To complete deployment of unit, hold clip and pull the tube from its
 sleeve.
