RSS4 & RSS2

Robot Shocktube Starter: 4-Channel and 2-Channel

RSS4: 4-Channel Robot Shocktube Starter

RSS2 with Mounting Brackets for 3" Square Tube

RSS4 with Clamps for a Picatinny Rail

The RSS4 is a four-channel shock tube initaitor in a low profile light weight package. It is designed to mount on either a Picatinny rail or on a 3" square tube. Other mounting configurations are available.

The RSS2 is a 2-channel version of the RSS4 and has the same specs as the RSS4.

This initiator is powered by the robot, and can fire thick walled, standard commercial, and mini shock tube.

Features

USTI-ECO (Mini USTI)

Universal Shock Tube Initiator with Electric Cap Output
NSN: 6665-01-588-4818

The USTI-ECO was safety tested through an EOD/LIC program for use by U.S. Armed Forces. It was designed to work with all robots and remote firing sets in use today by the US military over the entire industrial temperature range.

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.

Specifications
Approvals:	Certified through EOD/LIC for operational use by all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces
Weight:	1 lb
Size:	5.5" x 2.5" x 1.25"
Power:	One 9-volt alkaline battery Energizer Industrial or Duracell Procell recommended.
Electric Output:	10 Joules at 370 Volts into 172 ohm load (80 2-ohm caps through a 12-ohm lead line)
Shock Tube Tip:	Fires both military and commercial shock tube Zero maintenance electrode technology One active and three spare blocks built into tip for long life Replacement electrode blocks available
Long Battery Life:	One battery provides over 400 nominal charge-fire cycles. Battery life is temperature dependent.
Operating Temperature:	-40°C to +85°C Electric initiation -5°C to +85°C Non-electric initiation
Humidity:	95% non-condensing
Case:	Die cast aluminum with desert tan powder coat
