The present invention seeks to provide an alternative approach for controlling the delay
period associated with pyrotechnic delay units. The present invention relies on the use of a
timing strip having a starting point and a discharge point spaced apart from one another, the
distance along the timing strip between the starting point and the discharge point define the
effective length of the timing strip. The invention also uses a calibration strip, and the
function of this is to allow an ***effective burn rate*** to be determined. Subsequently, the
effective length of the timing strip can be adjusted in order to obtain a desired delay period on
the basis that the burn rate of the timing strip is identical to the ascertained burn rate of the
calibration strip.
