MVN-72 MAGNET|C INFLUENCE FUZE
Description
' The .lytvN-72 ba magnet'r inluonce uze or use with
TM-62M or TM-62P and TM-72 A|' mines. The uze b a
circular assembV which screws into the TM-62r2 luza
well. On the top o the uze b a bp which covgrs the
arrning button, whi}e in the side o the uzg body b a
housing or a 1.5V battery. Though TM-62 mines can b
mechanically hid MVN-72 rnust be armed by hand There
is a delay to arming tirne o approximate 2
rninutes.
Length o battery lie b unknown.
Method of Operation
The exacl unctioning rnechan'sm o the MVN-72 b
unknown but like most magnetic inluence uzes it b
probabty a coil induction system. The cloc}nrork delay to
arming mechanbm rotates,an eleclric detonalor rorn lhe
horizontal (unarmed) position to tho vortical (arrn@
position simibr to the
lyf\Z-62 and activates tho
electronics o the uze. Whan a vehicte such as a a brry
or lank with a large magnet'r snatura passes over it. th
uza will unction detonating the mhe. The uze b
designed to unction whgn the target 's direcl above it.
not of to one slCe. There appoars to be no anti handling
rnechanbm h the uze itse though obvious TM-62 can
be ittod with one (M$3). Minimum rnagnitic sQnature
that MVN-72 responds to b unknown. The uze- b not

UsSR
Arming ./.
A battery b itted into the uze as indicatgd and lhe ransit
cap removed rom lhe uze. Check that the detonator b in
the,horizontal (unarmed) position. Wind up the clochrori<
delay mechanbm by rot+ing the hp above the arming
button through 180 degres in the direction o the arlow.
Scrar lhe uze into the mine and cover and carnoulage
lhe mine leaving the uze top exposed. Depress the
arming bution and [sten or mechan'sm working. Camou-
lage the lop o the uze. The uze wjll be armed in
approximate 2 minutes.
N eutralising
h may be possible lo neutral'se liting and rotaling lhe
anosed lap or by removing tha battery but these
methods have NOT been proved.
CAUT/o//
Do not us6 or carry motal toob.
Disarming
Pull mine. unscrr and remove uze. Bemove battery
