EXPLODER

FEATURES

Easy to use
Shrike has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that gives operators confidence in its operations. Shock Tube option A Shock Tube Adaptor is available, this offers a simple means of adding Shock Tube (or Nonel) initation capability. The adaptor is simply inserted into the desired output terminals. The exploder is then simply operated in the same way as for wired connected detonation circuits. Multiple circuits Shrike can initiate four independent circuits. Compatible with a wide range of detonators Shrike is available in two variants to accomodate different types of detonators. The Shrike Mk4 exploder is designed for use with Group 2 safety detonators, which requires a higher energy firing output. The Shrike Mk5 exploder is for use with standard NATO (Group 1) type detonators.

MORE ABOUT SHRIKE

Shrike has a number of built-in safety features.. It cannot be fired into the external load unless a minimum firing voltage is present on the firing capacitors. The external load must be less than a preset value and after PRIMING, the user must press two independent buttons to discharge the energy into the selected external load. To minimise electrical hazards to the user, the exploder will not fire if the electrical resistance of the external load connected to the terminals is too high. The exploder ensures that output energy cannot be released into a circuit where the resistance is more than the output inhibit level set for the device.
