Interactive Mine ML-8

The ML-8 interactive training mine from UTP is a specialized dummy for training and practicing actions related to detecting, setting, and simulating the detonation of booby traps and explosive ordnance. The device is designed as a training detonation simulator, intended for use with anti-personnel, anti-tank, anti-vehicle, object, and other mines that lack their own simulation mechanism. The ML-8 is also used for placement under various military items (weapons, property, etc.) for personnel training.

Purpose

The dummy is used for training and practicing tactical and technical skills: safe simulation of detonation scenarios, conducting training sessions on identifying and working with mines, and demonstrating the consequences of load removal and dummy activation.

Technical Specifications

Power supply: 18650 type battery with a capacity of 1200-1500 mAh. The power-on delay module ensures a smooth system start with a 10-15 second delay after pressing the button. LED indication is available to display status: power-on and activation. Audio signaling is implemented via a speaker that generates an audible alert upon activation. Power connectors include a Type-C charging port and a DC (5.5x2.1 mm) connector. A DC (5.5x2.1 mm) plug with a self-clamping mechanism is included in the kit.

Dummy Components

• Dummy body;
• Load plate (sensitive element for load detection);
• DC connector and DC plug (5.5x2.1 mm);
• On/Off button;
• Sound emitter (speaker);
• 18650 battery (1200-1500 mAh).

Operating Procedure

• 1) Power-on: Press the On/Off button to start the dummy; the power-on delay module then activates for 10-15 seconds.
• 2) Dummy placement: Place the dummy in the desired location and load the plate with a weight of 350 grams or more.
• 3) Dummy activation: After removing the load, continuous audible alerting via the speaker and LED light indication are activated.4) Additional functionality: When using the DC connector and connecting the DC plug to an electric match, the electric match is ignited (note: for this functionality, the battery must be fully charged).

Maintenance and Operating Recommendations

• 1) Power and battery charge: For correct operation of additional functions (electric match ignition via the DC connector), the battery must be fully charged; with a partially discharged battery, the ignition mechanism may not activate.
• 2) Connector protection: All unused connectors should be covered with rubber caps to prevent contamination and damage to contacts.
• 3) Moisture protection: The dummy is not hermetically sealed; it is not recommended for use in conditions of high humidity or heavy dust without additional protection.
