The Scorpion L-SBS (Small Blasting System) is a compact and rugged light-weight Solid-State Electronic Capacitor Discharge Blasting Machine meant for either Electric Initiation or Non-Electric Shock Tube Initiation. For electric circuits, the unit incorporates a Circuit Continuity Indicator (CCI) allowing the operator to verify a complete circuit has been attached to the Output Binding Posts prior to initiation. The L-SBS is completely sealed making it waterproof and impervious to dust, dirt, sand, and debris. One 9V battery provides hundreds of Charge/Fire cycles, and loads smoothly through the side of the unit into a waterproof compartment secured in place by an easy-on/off battery cap that requires no tools. Electric Initiation: The Scorpion L-SBS features EIT’s specially developed Heavy-Duty Push Down Binding Posts for quick and secure lead line attachment, even when wearing gloves. The CCI uses a secure blasting-safe signal to detect 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 reengage when “Charge” is released and the redundant safety allows use of the indicator once again. The L-SBS incorporates 2 recessed covered pushbutton switches for Charge/Fire operations and is engineered for rapid charging. Non-Electric Initiation: The Scorpion L-SBS incorporates a separate 2.5kV high voltage circuit and capacitor, different from that of the Electric Initiator, to create a pulse that initiates non- electric shock tube. Using two separate initiation circuits protects the output of either system and insures dual reliability. The unit uses a guarded pushbutton switch located on the side of the unit to activate the Non-Electric system.
