MAXIMUM EXCITATION AND MINIMUM LAG TIMES
OF ELECTRIC DETONATORS
The shortest lag time ol any detonator must not be less than the EXTRANEOUS ELECTRICITY
maximum excitaiion time required by any other detonator in the circuit,
or the short lag will cut out all detonators requiring longer excitation
times.
