![]() ![]() If you must use a multimeter to test the devices only do it on a higher range, say>1kohm to keep the test current low, do not use an auto ranging instrument.ĭo not use an Avo 8 and the like on its low ohms range since this will almost certainly guarantee ignition. Proding about with a multimeter might in rare cases of excess sensitivity set off the squib, the test current should be kept as low as possible, a test power source of less than 10mA from 1.3v was the maximum permitted in my explosives test days. In my distant past I have worked on a production plant for these very devices, believe me about the underwear. ![]() Do be careful, the squib is the explosive device which inflates the airbag, as with all explosive devices the only way to be adequately safe when they are initiated is to be far enough away from them.Īccidents with explosives are far from unknown and the unaware, untrained and uncaring are most often the ones involved in causing the incident.Īirbags must be handled with great respect, thick gloves, a face mask and thick coveralls should be sufficient to minimise injury in the rare case of unwanted ignition when a change of underwear will also be required.
