TRIGGERING SYSTEMS FOR CARTRIDGE ACTIVATED DEVICES

摘要

A triggering system includes a source lead, a ground lead, primary and secondary actuation circuits, and a serializing switch. Both the primary and second actuation circuits are connected to the source lead and the serializing switch has first and second positions. In a first position, the serializing switch connects the primary and secondary actuation circuit in parallel for actuating primary and secondary cartridge activated devices. In a second position, the serializing switch connects the secondary actuation circuit in series with the primary actuation circuit for verifying that the actuation circuits can reliably actuate both cartridge activated devices.
