12. System Operation
a) Turning On “Race Mode” and “Street Mode”
To turn on the System, zip up the Zip Closure (2) and close the Activation Belt (4) taking care
that the hook-and-loop patches are correctly attached. An internal sensor detects that the
Activation Belt (4) is closed and the System will turn on. At this point, the user MUST check
the LED Display (3) to verify that the System starts correctly. See “Display Indications” in
Section 13 below for the meaning of the LED indicator lights.
In order to activate the Tech-Air® 10 System, the Activation Belt (4)
must be correctly closed taking care that the hook-and-loop patches
are correctly attached.
Always check that the appropriate Riding Mode is selected either by
means of the Tech-Air® App and/or by checking the LED Display (3)
Indications during the System start up.
WARNING!
WARNING!
If the System does not power on (no LED Indications illuminate) check
that the Activation Belt (4) has been correctly closed. In addition, check
that the Tech-Air® 10 battery has charge and that the LED Display (3) is
correctly positioned on the Docking Area (9). In case the LED Display (3) is
not connected to the Activation Belt (4), be sure that its battery is charged
by positioning it on the Docking Area (9). If the problem persists, contact
Tech-Air® Support (see Section 19 “Tech-Air® Support”).
Tip:
The status of the Tech-Air® System can be checked by connecting the System
using the Tech-Air® App. When the System Check has been successfully
passed and the System is active, the Tech-Air® App will display the indication
“System On.”
System inactivation can also be “forced” directly using the App. This
functionality can be useful in case the user wants to turn off the airbag
protection, for instance before undertaking some heavy off-road riding
[please note that the System cannot be turned on again by means of the App.
To turn on the System, open and close the Activation Belt (4)].
In Race Mode, the Tech-Air® 10 System is active only while riding
above approximately 60 km/h (37mph) for at least 10 seconds. Before
this activation or when the rider’s speed drops steadily below such
speed for at least 10 seconds, the System deactivates.
Depending on the type of motorcycle, when the System is in Race
Mode, the activation speed may vary, up to 100km/h. If the User
stops or reduces the speed under this limit of 100km/h, for an
extended period of time, the System will not activate in the case of
an accident.
WARNING!
WARNING!
b) System Check and activation for “Race Mode”
When Race Mode is selected, after the completion of the System start up, the LED Display
(3) will show solid green and yellow LED lights, meaning that the system will not deploy
and is checking to see a valid riding speed. The yellow light will turn off only when the rider
reaches 60 km/h (37 mph) and only then, the System will be ready to deploy. If the rider
stops or the speed drops under the 60 km/h (37 mph) for an extended period of time, the
System will return in the System Check phase (indicated by the solid yellow and green LEDs
– see Section 13 below).
c) System Check and activation for “Street Mode”
After the System is correctly turned on, if the Street Mode is selected, the System starts
performing the System Check as in the Race Mode. This operation is indicated by the solid
yellow (3b) and green (3a) LED indicator lights. However, for Street Mode the System doesn’t
look to the riding speed, but checks if the System is correctly worn, since in this mode the
System must be active even if the speed is null. As in Race Mode, during the System Check,
the System will not deploy. This phase may take several seconds.
Whilst the System Check is being performed, the System is looking for the user’s body
movements to conduct one or all of the following activities:
• Walking (including up and down stairs)
• Mounting the motorcycle
• Riding the motorcycle.
