The center of gravity is 7.93 +/-.50 inches from the base end of the marker (non-arming end of unit). Upon water submergence, a MK 72 MOD 1 water activated battery is activated. Current from the battery initiates a MK 13 MOD 0 electric Squib, which ignites starter composition of the first red phosphorous (RP) pyrotechnic candle. This starter composition ignites the starter pellet which in turn ignites the first RP candle. When the first candle is nearly burned out, its heat ignites transfer time fuses which carries ignition to the second candle starter composition. This starter composition initiates the second RP candle in the same manner as the first. The required burn time is between 40-60 minutes. The marker is armed by removal of an adhesive backed metallic foil strip. A pull ring removes the foil strip.
