Programming Principle The electronic time fuze is initially power supplied through galvanic contact by the fire control when the round is chambered. A capacitor is charged and will supply the fuze until the battery is activated by the accelleration. The programming takes place when the trigger is pushed and the signal is transferred during hammer fall time. MEDIUM CALIBRE DIVISION side 4
