Taser INIWIC Exam Questions and
Answers
Central Nervous System - ANSWER-Command center (brain and spinal cord)
processes information and makes decisions
Sensory nervous system - ANSWER-Nerves that carry information from the body to
the brain. Touch, temperature, etc.
Stun systems affect these nerves
Motor nervous system - ANSWER-Nerves that carry commands from the brain to the
muscles to control movement
NMI systems affect BOTH the sensory and motor nerves
X26E & X26P FIRING - ANSWER-Single trigger pull will initiate a 5 second cycle
Cycle will continue if trigger is held
Placing the TASER on safe will immediately stop the cycle
Both probes must connect to target to be effective
Electrical charge can penetrate up to two inches of cumulative clothing (1 inch per
probe)
Stun systems - ANSWER-generate "electrical noise" that the sensory nervous
system interprets as pain or discomfort but does not cause incapacitation: (pain
compliance)
Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) systems: - ANSWER-stimulates the peripheral
nervous system by causing direct stimulation of motor nerves contracting muscles.
The X26E & P affects both the sensory AND motor nervous systems:
(incapacitation)
Taser systems voltage for open circuit - ANSWER-50,000
Taser systems voltage into body - ANSWER-1,200
The 50,000 volt is the peak "pressure" just before the electricity arcs from the
TASER through the air. Once the arc forms, the "pressure" is released, and the
voltage drops to less than 5,000 volts delivered across the body. - ANSWER-
"It's not the volts that are dangerous, it's the amperes" - ANSWER-
Taser effects - ANSWER-will not effect others in contact with the subject unless
contact is made between or on the
probes
Exposure to water will not cause electrocution or increase the energy to the subject
• Subject may fall immediately to the ground
• Involuntary muscle contractions
• Subject may freeze in place with legs locked
, • Subject may feel dazed
• Potential vertigo
Digital pulse controller (DPC) - ANSWER-DC is an internal circuit including the
microprocessor and support
hardware
DC measures the time between each energy pulse discharged
from the weapon
DPC runs at 19 pulses per second for maximum takedown power
Digital Power Magazine - ANSWER-10-year shelf life
• 2 lithium batteries
• Provides up to 195 cycles
• Leave DPM in weapon
• DPM removed after 4 hours can corrupt system
DPM REPLACEMENT - ANSWER-When the DPM is replaced with a DPM
containing a newer update of software than the current version in the X26E, an
"UPGRADE" programming will occur
• A "p" will be displayed in the CID during the upgrade programming
10
Removal of the DPM during the "p" state (programming) "WILL" corrupt the software.
If this occurs, an "E" or "H" will be displayed.
The X26E must then be returned to TASER for troubleshooting purposes, unless a
certified TASER technician is on staff.
DPM duty use - ANSWER-99-20
DPM training use - ANSWER-19-01
DPM replace and dispose - ANSWER-01
Download usage data - ANSWER-Follow step by step instructions in the latest Data
Port User Manual (V.15.6)
Administrator privileges are usually required on U.S. military computers to install the
download software
The computer must have a USB port, check www.axon.com for updates
Batter source status icons - ANSWER-Reads the battery consumption and displays
the remaining battery life on the CID
• Battery pack should be changed or TASER Cam HD should be charged at § 20%
• Battery bars in CID shows 20% increments
MAJOR FAULT - ANSWER-Likely accompanied by a noticeable nonessential
subsystem failure within the
X26P, like the flashlight or LASER not working, but X26P can still be used
CRITICAL
FAULT - ANSWER-Indicates a system failure.
This X26P is NOT to be used for duty.
