1. In floor opposite pin fuze make hole. One end wire to pin, another end wire - to wooden stake in ground under mine. When you move mine - bom!
2. In the front wall hole. One end wire to pin, another end - to floor. When you try to take away booster and fuze - bom!
3. Wire attach to push pad. When you try to take away booster and fuze - bom!
