Datasheet
The Scorpion HB-25 is a compact and rugged light-weight Solid-State Electronic Capacitor Discharge Blasting Machine which incorporates a Circuit Continuity Indicator (CCI) allowing the operator to verify a complete circuit is attached to the Output Binding Posts prior to initiation. The CCI uses a secure blasting-safe signal to detect when a circuit is present and informs the operator with a green LED. When “Charge” is depressed the CCI is immediately disengaged. The CCI will only re-engage when “Charge” is released and the redundant safety allows use of the indicator once again. The HB-25 is a completely sealed unit making it waterproof and impervious to dust, dirt, sand, and debris. It features EIT’s specially developed Heavy-Duty Push Down Binding Posts for quick and secure lead line attachment, even when the user is wearing gloves. It incorporates 2 guarded pushbutton switches for Charge and Fire operations and is engineered for rapid charging. A replaceable 9V battery provides hundreds of Charge/Fire cycles. The battery loads smoothly through the side of the unit into a waterproof compartment secured in place by an easy-on/off Battery Cap. The Scorpion HB-25 incorporates 2 attachment points for a factory supplied detachable Belt Loop offering easy carrying and accessory options.
