A. IMPACTS AND DETECTED ACCIDENTS
Autonomous version (without SDU fork sensor), the system only detects accidents
from a speed above 20 km/h. Here are the possible detection cases:
- Motorcycle striking or being struck by a significant obstacle (vehicle, wall, post, etc.)
from the front, side or rear.
- Slides and falls (high side, low side).
The detection system of the autonomous version uses the GPS signal to optimize the
triggering situations. If the system does not detect or badly detects the GPS signal we
cannot guarantee the triggering of the airbag.
When the vest is associated with the SDU fork sensor, the list of detected
accidents is extended to impacts from 0 km/h (e.g. impact when stopped by a third
party vehicle).
The detection time is significantly faster in case of an impact against a vehicle.
Please note that each accident is different. Even though the Helite crash detection
system covers a large majority of potential accidents, there is always a non-zero risk of
non-triggering.
CAUTION The vest sensor is sensitive to sudden body movements. Do not
intentionally execute movements that are not necessary for normal motorcycle
riding (it is possible to stand on the footrests of the motorcycle). It is equally
important to not intentionally cause shocks to the fork sensor when your vest is
on. Both of these cases could trigger the airbag to inflate.
B. AUTONOMY
The vest has 25h of autonomy when switched on (except in sleep mode). It
automatically switches to sleep mode when no movement is detected for about 45
seconds and is reactivated at the first movement.
The fork sensor (SDU) has an autonomy of around 5 years (not rechargeable).
However, it is recommended to check the battery level of the sensor regularly (once a
month). To check whether the sensor is still active, simply position the magnet on the
round sensor slot:
- green LED on the fork sensor > battery OK.
- red LED on the fork sensor > battery low, you need to change the fork sensor.
- no LED > battery empty, the fork sensor is no longer operational. You must change it.
It is recommended to effect this procedure in an environment of +10°C.
C. UPDATE
The system and the algorithm may evolve. In case of an update you will be contacted
by your dealer.
