Design
It is minimum metal, waterproof and designed to function either way up.
Fuze Mechanism
There is no mechanical link between the pressure plate and the fuze mechanism. This transfers pressure on the fuze mechanism causing the landmine to function.
Pressure Plate
When a load is applied to the pressure plate air from the upper cavity is forced through a small bleed hole. When a pressure of approximately 190 kilograms (419 pounds) is applied to the pressure plate, the plunger is forced downward compressing the plunger spring.
Charge
The main charge has a recess in the base to accommodate a 130g RDX booster.
Arming
The landmine is armed by replacing the shipping plug with the detonator holder plug.
