Recommandations
9
daveydet detonators must not be used in the same circuit as other
brands of electrical detonators.

9
The different types, Low Intensity, Medium Intensity, High
Intensity must not be used simultaneously in the same circuit.

9
daveydet detonators can be made available in Super High
Intensity (equivalent to the HU standard).

9
In addition to being well-designed and properly loaded, a
successful blast requires good, tight and insulated connections, a
complete resistance check carried out before and after the tamping
and an exploder of appropriate rating.

CE certification
