DEPLOYED SYSTEMS
When the System has deployed it will show solid red light LED on the LED Display (2).
For the transport of deployed Systems with an undamaged battery, keep the Activation
Zip (1) open.
The deployed System can then be delivered or shipped by the users (e.g. for servicing) to the
nearest Tech-Air® Service Center according to regulation UN3481, provided that the battery
is not damaged (as set out above) and keeping the Activation Zip (1) open.
In case of a damaged battery, users need to physically take the System to the nearest Tech-
Air® Service Center as damaged batteries may not be transported.
15. Maintenance, Servicing, Lifespan and Disposal
Garments with electronically activated airbags are critical safety systems which must be
maintained in good working order to ensure their correct function. If not, they may not
function properly or at all.
Maintenance
Prior to each use, the user should conduct a check of the System, looking for any signs of
wear (loose threads, holes, marks) or damage. If any signs of wear are found, the System
should be inspected further by an authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air® Service Centre.
Servicing
Alpinestars recommends that the System be routinely inspected at least every 2 years or
after 500 hours of functioning by Alpinestars or an authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air® Service
Centre. During the inspection service, the Airbag and the electronic unit's components will
be examined. Inspection can be requested directly at an Alpinestars Tech-Air® Dealer. The
following work is undertaken as part of the inspection service:
• All components are removed from the System and the vest is washed.
• The diagnostics of the electronic unit are checked (and firmware upgraded, if applicable).
• The expiration date of the high pressure inflator is checked, and if needed the inflator is
replaced.
• The Airbag is inspected for any sign of wear and/or damage.
• The System is reassembled into the vest and checked functionally.
