3.0 Loading WL Version

The detonating cord on this style, is placed on the inside of the tube strip and spirals around,

connecting the charges forming the explosive sequence. Do not to remove the endplates at this

time.

Note:

With the internal wrap style tube strip, the det cord is held in

place by the charge and tube strip (no Det Cord Clips are required).

3.1 Using Owen Super Cutters, cut a sufcient length of det cord that will completely load

your tube strip and that will allow for det cord initiation. One method of doing this, is to lay

the det cord on the tube strip following the charge holes. Take that length and add 3 - 4 ft

(0.9 -1.2m). It is always better to have too much, than not enough.

Note:

To determine the next length of det cord to be cut, measure

the rst cut length before loading, then measure the scrap length

when nished. Subtract the scrap length from the original cut length to

determine the length of the next piece of det cord.

Warning:

Never load a tube strip when the det cord is still

attached to the roll! Cut the necessary length of cord, the remove

the roll from the loading area!

3.2 Insert the det cord through end plate and tube strip on the designated bottom of the tube

strip.

3.3 Allow the det cord to exit the tube strip at the rst charge. Make a 6” long loop at the det cord

and secure this conguration with electrical tape. Insert the det cord back into the tube strip

and push it along the center of the tube until it contacts the endplate at the top of the tube

strip. The excess det cord in the loop insures the switch receives a sufcient pressure pulse

to set properly and aids in the installation of det cord in the tube.
