The firing sequence is triggered by an input pulse longer than 10 ms from 17 to 400 volts. The firing circuit then automatically charges and delivers a high energy pulse to the terminals.
The shock tube adapter contains four separate maintenance free electrode assemblies giving you three spares when the first one wears out. Each electrode block delivers over 2,000 shots.
The electrodes are true zero-maintenance assemblies. No re-carbonizing required. No cleaning required.
Adapters will fit standard commercial shock tube as well as thick-walled and Mil-Spec shock tube.
The USTI-ECO can drive an electric breech on the PAN disruptor cannon.
