TASER X26c ECD
For Your Personal Defense
The TASER X26C Electronic Control Device (ECD), is based on our law enforcement-grade TASER X26 personal defense products, and gives you the same unprecedented take-down power trusted by thousands of police officers every day.
In a more compact form factor than our Advanced TASER M26C ECD, the X26C is designed to be comfortable to carry and easy to use for personal defense. When you flip the safety into the armed position, the device is ready to deliver an incapacitating pulse that is designed to override the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system. This powerful Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) technology has been effective against even the most aggressive individuals, including those under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

TASER ECDs use replaceable cartridges containing inert, compressed nitrogen to fire two small probes that are attached to 15 foot (4.5 meter) insulated conductive wires. Energy is sent over the wires into the probes, which can penetrate up to two cumulative inches of clothing giving you a personal defense product you can count on. The charge is transmitted between the two probes and is designed to jam the sensory and motor functions to inhibit muscular control. This NMI effect continues in 10 second cycles each time you press the trigger. The X26C ECDs can also be used in direct contact stun mode.
Effective
TASER ECDs are the only personal defense products that allow you to take control of your personal safety with the ability to incapacitate aggressive, dangerous people.
Safe
Safer and more effective than other personal defense options, such as sprays or direct contact stuns, which require potentially dangerous chemicals or close range to an attacker and often prove to be ineffective on individuals under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Keeps You Safe at a Distance
Unlike other personal defense products which require you to be close to the target, TASER ECDs are effective at a range of up to 15 feet, which keeps you out of harm's way.
Easy To Use
The TASER X26C has been designed for easy use during high stress deployment situations. Combining a LASER sight and LED light with a quick flip safety, the X26C allows you to respond quickly and effectively to a threat.
Police Proven
The TASER X26C is based on the same design used by law enforcement worldwide. It's designed to be compact and easy to carry and to give a 10 second cycle of incapacitation that gives you time to get in control of a threatening situation and get to safety

Features

Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI)
The key technology to disable even the most aggressive subjects, NMI temporarily overrides the command and control systems of the body to impair muscular control.

Shaped Pulse™ Technology
A sophisticated pulse wave that utilizes a high voltage leading edge to penetrate barriers such as clothing around the body followed by a lower voltage stimulation pulse to cause Neuro Muscular Incapacitation.

TASER Cartridge
A replaceable module that allows for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). Integrates a nitrogen propulsion system, insulated TASER wire, probes, and AFID serialization. Compatible with both the TASER M and X models.

LASER and Illuminator Integration
User configurable settings control LASER and low-intensity illumination synchronous with safety switch operation.

Anti-Felon Identification (AFID)
A system to deter misuse through enhanced accountability, AFID includes bar-coded serialization of each cartridge and disperses confetti-like ID tags upon activation.

Digital Power Magazine (DPM™) Battery Pack
Integrated power source with lithium battery cells and solid state memory module for tracking power consumption, power levels remaining, and allows for software updates to be distributed via battery replacement.

Central Information Display (CID)
Digital display that communicates battery percentage, duration remaining during pulse discharge, time, and date.
