The leads and accessories are packed in a wooden box of six leads, three holders, three carrier bags and six containers for transporting detonators.

After triggering the detonator, the booster charge is activated and the main charge is initiated. As a result, the approx. 500 cylindrical splinters are shot about 50 meters in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The mine can be remote-ignited electrically (ÄDP-r detonator) or triggered by a tripwire (pull detonator of the MUV series or RO-1). The WZD-6Tsch timer can be used to set a release time of 15 minutes to six hours.
eviction
After disconnecting the power source and short-circuiting the line, the igniter can be unscrewed. MON-50s with time detonators are detonated without contact for safety reasons.
