BB-75 10J Exploder

Description: 

The EOD UK BB-75 Exploder is a compact high-energy capacitive discharge blasting machine capable of initiating a minimum of 75 electric detonators (tested through 340 ohms). Bridge wire and firing line continuity is testable through the integrated haptic (tactile feedback) circuit tester with redundant LED. Intrinsic safety’s include automatic abort, internal shunt, boot-protected switches, touch- proof output terminals with downward facing inputs, and fuse protected testing circuit.

Specifications:

• 365 VDC @ 10 Joules (average) Firing Energy
  – Capable of firing a minimum of 75 electric detonators connected in series via 3000’ of two-conductor 18 ga. copper firing line (tested through 340 ohms)
• Uses standard 9-Volt battery
• Built-In Bridge wire Testing Circuit
  – Less than 800 µA (micro amps) maximum current draw, barely 1/60th the maximum
  allowable safe testing current of 50 mA, as established by MSHA.
  – Testing circuit protected by 50mA fuse
  – The only Exploder featuring a built-in haptic bridge wire continuity tester
  – Strong vibrating response provides positive indication, even in direct sunlight and
  noisy environments
  – LED visually confirms continuity, and indicates a low-battery situation during Arm
• Small And Lightweight
  – 8.9 cm x 16.5 cm x 3 cm; 326 g
• Easy To Use
  – Connect firing line to high-voltage binding posts
  – Hold down ARM switch to charge blasting circuit
  – Once the Super-Bright “Ready” LED lights solid (flashes during charge), press FIRE button to send high-energy pulse through the firing cable
• Intrinsically Safe Design
  – Internally shunted output terminals help protect detonators from external EMI – remain shunted until instant of firing
  – Auto abort discharges the capacitor upon release of ARM button (prior to firing)
  – Bridgewire testing circuit current is less than 1 mA (795 microamps average)
  – Fuse protected testing circuit cannot provide more than 50 mA (serial numbers 100+)
  – Touch-proof output terminals with downward facing inputs reduce risk of shock
• Rugged Enclosure
  – IP51 Compliant
  – ABS case with bright-red/orange rubber boot, and sealed switches
  – Shock and weather resistant
