NO ELECTRICAL TEST IS PERMITTED DURING
THE PYROTECHNIC TEST.

(a) Using the test set

Connect test set, Squib [ ICO 90.50.00.08.50] cables and carry out tests as per the
following table :
1 Painted steel bottle (PRE MOD 0726050)

Cable No. Cartridge Termin. Extinguish. Resistance to Selector, Squib,

reference : be obtained Fire
(X)
34 three AC 0.29 ± 0.21 3
861.345 ABG SEMCA
bayonet-type BC Ohm 2
connectors
36 three screw- 1-3 0.29 ± 0.21 6
861.355 ABG SEMCA
type connectors 2-3 Ohm 5

2 Stainless steel bottle (POST MOD 0726050)

Cable No. Cartridge Termin. Extinguish. Resistance to Selector, Squib,

reference : be obtained Fire
(X)
34 three AC 3
863080-00 ABG SEMCA 0.85 ± 0.2 Ohm
bayonet-type BC 2
connectors
36 three screw- 1-3 6
863085-00 ABG SEMCA 0.85 ± 0.2 Ohm
type connectors 2-3 5

NOTE

For each measurement, hold the test set, Squib [

ICO 90.50.00.08.50] button for three seconds.

(b) Using the squib-testing milliohmmeter

Connect the milliohmmeter [ Not listed in the ICO] directly to cartridge. For the same
cartridge reference and same terminals, the values to be obtained are identical to

those given in table above. Disregard cable numbers and selector, Squib, Fire [ ICO
90.50.00.11.50] positions.

F. Extinguisher weighing

NOTE

1. Extinguisher is weighed with percussion heads

and frangible disc installed without protective
plug or electric firing cartridge.
2. The Manufacturer original weight is indicated on
the FM (log card).

(1) Carry out weighing.

(2) Make sure that the weight of the bottle does not differ by more than ± 20 grams from the
Manufacturer original weight indicated on the FM (log card).
(3) Replace the bottle if the weight is out of tolerance.

(4) mark the weighing date on the follow-up label.

(5) Check the overall condition of the bottle.

(6) See assembly of cartridge and installation of extinguisher (26-21-00-401 PRE MOD
0726050 or 26-21-00-402 POST MOD 0726050).
