the delay number and nominal firing time prominently. The plastic bunch block has the
capacity to initiate up to eight (8) shock tubes or one (1) detonating cord downline.
Net Explosive Content per 100 units 0.0570 kg NONEL TD units are designed for use with NONEL MS, EZ DET®, SL and detonating

between the previous bunch block and the collar of the blast hole leaving at least 30
cm (12 in) between the adjacent bunch block.
• ALWAYS leave 13 cm (5 in) between the J-hook and any detonating cord knot. Ensure
that outgoing shock tubes connect at right angles to the detonating cord and that the
lid is tightly closed
