A time fuze or detonating device for unpredictably-detonating scatter ammunition, which is activatable through the intermediary of an electrical trigger signal. The time fuze or triggering device is equipped with a cyclical counter which, in dependence upon a time period which commences upon the deployment of the scatter ammunition, is supplied with counting pulses, and wherein upon the appearance of a switching information, there is counted further from an end-count position momentarily reached in the cyclical counter, into a pregiven triggering count position for the emission of the trigger signal.
