The mine, which was stored concealed or openly, had three receiving channels in the lid for the push-pull detonator ZDZ 29. Three additional channels in the side and in the bottom of the mine were responsible for the recovery protection by relief detonators. A load of 125 kilograms was necessary to trigger the mine. But a setting of 45 kilograms was also possible.
