Technical Description - Helite E-GP AIR Manuel D'utilisation

16
y When an accident or a fall is detected, the airbag inflates automatically in a fraction
of a second. Nevertheless, the user must ensure that the airbag system is switched
on, before riding the motorcycle, that the system is correctly charged and that the
e-cartridge is properly installed.
y An airbag cannot guarantee the complete safety of the rider, but it will offer
considerable extra protection. It does not protect from injuries the parts of the body
that are not covered by the airbag.
y The airbag is an additional protection, you still have to wear the usual equipment
(suit, gloves, etc.).
y Do not remove or modify any part of the airbag, the electronic system or the fabric.
y After an airbag activation, only replace the e-cartridge with a Helite e-cartridge of the
same capacity (GG 60).
y Take out any objects and in particularly sharp objects from your pockets before
using your Helite airbag system.
y Check that your airbag is in good working condition, i.e. no rips or tears, before
each use.
y Do not sew or stick anything onto the Helite airbag (neither the airbag itself nor its
fabric) as it could pierce the airbag and prevent it from working properly.
y Keep out of reach of children.
y The driver must not be pregnant. It is not possible to carry out tests to determine
the consequences if the airbag is activated.
y The whole vest (textile, electronics, airbag, sensor) must not be put in the microwave.
y The vest should be stored carefully when not used. Keep it away from high
temperatures (60°C) and humidity (e.g. to avoid mould).
y The e-GP Air should only be used in a temperature range of -10 to + 45°C. Prolonged
exposure of the system to temperatures below -10°C and above 45°C may impair
the proper functioning of the system.
y Do not recharge the vest battery near strong heat sources (60°C).
y Never wash the vest in a washing machine.
y Do not wear clothes too tight over the vest (see page 19).

4. Technical description

The e-GP Air vest is provided with an electronic system incorporating an algorithm
capable of analyzing the user's movements. When abnormal movements, a fall or an
accident are detected, the system automatically triggers the airbag to inflate.
In the event of an accident, the airbag inflates in 60 ms.
