An electronic firing circuit tester (EFCT) that senses and indicates the status of electrical firing circuits for a gun. The EFCT requires no batteries or other maintenance and can display up to four tests of a gun's firing circuit.

The present invention comprises a capacitor, of sufficient area to cover the glass seal of a cartridge actuated ordnance device, comprising a low pass filter. This capacitor connects to the leads of the cartridge actuated ordnance device in a fashion that covers the glass seal of the cartridge. Although the capacitor is not directly contacting the glass seal, it is located proximately so that very few frequencies of EMR can enter the seal, wherein a safe level of EMR is achieved. The capacitor also filters both EMR and ESD that come through the leads of the cartridge.
