Display Indications; Cleaning, Storage And Transportation - Tech-Air RACE_AIRBAG SYSTEM Guia Del Usuario

System Arming
Once the system has started up, the LED Display (11) will provide a Green (11a) and Orange
(11b) indication. At this point the system is not live and will not inflate in case of an accident.
The system will become live automatically once the user starts riding, and this is confirmed
when the orange indication (11b) is switched off. Note that the sharp accelerations and
braking from racing assist the arming – without them a constant speed of around 100km/h
must be maintained in order to maintain the system in the armed state. If the rider stops
or the speed drops below 100km/h for an extended time then the system will disarm.
WARNING! If the rider chooses to ride a slow sighting (or celebratory) lap
then the system may not be armed. This can be verified by checking for the
steady Orange (11b) indication on the LED Display.
WARNING! The Tech-Air® Race airbag system will not provide protection if
the rider is stopped.
WARNING! ALWAYS Ensure that you have the Orange (11b) and Green
(11a) indication on the LED Display (11) before starting to ride. It is also
recommended to check the display status occasionally during riding to
confirm that the system is live (Steady Green indication- 11a) and that there
are no errors (Red indication – 11c)
Turning Off
Unzip the Alpinestars' Compatible Suit/Jacket and separate the two activation flaps (18).
The orange LED (11b) will flash and the system will shut down after 5 seconds. Confirm that
the system is off and/or not receiving power by checking to see that there are no indicator
lights illuminated in the LED Display (11).
If you want to continue wearing the Alpinestars' Compatible Suit/Jacket after shutting the
system down, then zip the garment closed again keeping the two halves of the activation
flap (18) apart.
To make power unavailable to the system, move the Master Switch (8)to the off position.
Turn the Master Switch (8) off if the Tech-Air® Race airbag vest is to be stored, transported
or shipped.
Tip: It is easier to access the master switch (8) by first unzipping one of the Vest
attachment zips (1) and partially lifting the Vest out of the suit (See Figure 8).
Naturally after switching the master switch back on, the vest attachment zip
requires to be reattached.
WARNING! ALWAYS turn the system off [by separating the activation flap]
when you are not riding a motorcycle if you continue to wear the system.
Keeping the system powered up and/or active increases the possibility of an
unwanted deployment and drains the battery.
Note also that the system will power back up if the activation flap is closed
again.
WARNING! When not in use and being stored, transported or shipped,
the system must be shut down at the Master Switch. This makes power
unavailable to the system, prevents battery drain and possible reduced
battery life, as well as inadvertent supplying of power to and powering-up
of the system.

Tip: With a single red indication, the red LED will blink a number of times
to indicate the code of the system error for the problem that the system is
experiencing. These codes and the corresponding errors are listed in Section
20, and the errors can also be viewed using the Tech-Air® Connect software
(Section 17, available from the DATA PORTAL).

14. Cleaning, Storage and Transportation

Airbag Vest Cleaning
Use only a cloth dampened with water to clean the airbag vest (fabric and plastic parts).
Solvents or chemical cleaners must not be used, as they may compromise the integrity of
the airbag.
WARNING! Under NO circumstances should the airbag Vest be washed in
a washing machine, submerged in water, tumble dried or ironed. This may
cause permanent damage to the airbag system and cause malfunction.
