WARNING!
WARNING!
Undeployed System must be returned to an Alpinestars Tech-Air
®
Dealer for subsequent
return to Alpinestars who will handle the disposal. This service is free of charge.
16. Actions in the Event of an Accident
Whenever the System deploys, a service must be undertaken by an authorized Alpinestars
Tech-Air
®
Service Center that will check the status of the System and consequently advise
on the type of service needed.
The Tech-Air
®
5 System features an airbag that is certified for upto three-inflations, meaning
that after a deployment, and when the System is received for service, the authorized
Alpinestars Tech-Air
®
Service Center will perform an inflation test of the airbag to check if
the airbag was damaged during the deployment.
a. If such inflation test is passed, the airbag was not damaged during the deployment and
accordingly the service will involve the replacement of the gas inflators only.
b. If such inflation test is not passed, the airbag was damaged during the deployment and
accordingly the System will undergo a full service that will involve the replacement of the
gas inflators and the airbag.
At the third deployment, the System must undergo a full service as indicated in point b. above.
17. Tech-Air
®
App
Tech-Air
®
5 System is equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device which allows to
directly connect the user’s mobile phone to the System, in order to get certain information
from the System and have access to several functions, such as:
- monitor the status of the System;
- verify the installed software and, eventually, perform the latest software updates;

IMPORTANT!
Tech-Air
®
5 Electronic Control Unit registers the number of deployments.
After the third deployment, the System will indicate permanently a System
Fault (steady red light on LED Display (3)). The System will remain blocked
until a full service is performed by a Tech-Air
®
Authorized Service Center.
Tech-Air
®
App is not necessary for Tech-Air
®
5 System to work as an impact
protector. Tech-Air
®
5 System will protect the user as described in sections
2 to 13 even if Tech-Air
®
App is not installed or not running on the user’s
mobile phone.
Accident WITHOUT Deployment
In the case of minor, low energy and/or low speed accidents, such as those involving speeds
below those described in Section 3 (“Tech-Air
®
Envelope of Protection”) it is likely that the
System will not deploy. Nonetheless, a thorough inspection of the System should be made
to ensure that there is no significant damage (tears, holes, etc.) which could compromise
the function of the System, as per the maintenance check outlined in Section 15.
In case of situations where the user believes the System should have deployed, a feedback
can be sent to Alpinestars through the Tech-Air
®
App and/or contacting Tech-Air
®
Support.
If the System is returned to an Alpinestars Tech-Air
®
Service Center for an inspection, a
detailed description of the event (including photos where possible) must be included.
In case of deployment in situation where the user believes the System should not have
deployed, the System should be returned to an Alpinestars Tech-Air
®
Dealer along with a
detailed report of the event (including photos, if possible).
