• ALWAYS protect the plastic EZ Connector block and all shock tube leads from impact
or damage during the loading and stemming operations. Use care when placing
blasting mats and cover material on top of the blasting circuit. The EZ Connector
block contains a detonator and is subject to detonation caused by abuse such as
impact. Shock tube which has been cut, ruptured or damaged may cause misfires.
• ALWAYS be sure that the shock tube(s) are securely inserted, one at a time, into the
EZ Connector block. The head of the EZ Connector block should rise to accept the
shock tube and return to a closed position with an audible click.
• ALWAYS ensure that individual shock tubes remain aligned side by side in the
connector channel and do not cross one over the another on insertion.
• NEVER use NONEL EZ DET units with detonating cord. The low strength surface
detonator will not initiate detonating cord and may cause misfires.
• NEVER attempt to disassemble the delay detonator from the plastic EZ Connector
block or use the detonator without the connector.
• NEVER place more than 6 shock tube leads into the plastic EZ Connector block.
Misfires may result.
• NEVER pull, stretch, kink or put tension on shock tube such that the tube could
break.
• NEVER splice NONEL EZ DET shock tube together to extend between holes.
• NEVER connect NONEL EZ DET units together until all holes have been primed,
loaded and stemmed and the blast site has been cleared.
