3.1.1. Electronics
If your D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. has been triggered, do not use the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. again until you have had the
airbag replaced by the Dainese Technical Assistance Service. The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. will not function if it has
been triggered. In the event of malfunction, which is indicated by the red flashing LED on the user interface, do not
use the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. Contact your nearest Authorized Dainese Service Center or directly the Dainese
Technical Assistance Service if signs of malfunction appear.
The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. is controlled by micro-electronics that trigger inflation of the system whenever one of the pre-set conditions
arises. The system has an internal diagnostics routine and whenever malfunction occurs, the user interface LED will begin flashing red.
The electronic unit is powered by a Li-Po rechargeable battery whose charge level is indicated whenever the device is switched on/off by
a series of flashes. See paragraph 3.1.4. "Batteries and battery life of the System".
3.1.2. User interface
The user interface is a small LED positioned on the right forearm. The purpose of the interface is to communicate the information
required by the user. Notes for the correct comprehension and use of the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. user interface are provided below.
3.1.3. Airbag
The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. incorporates an airbag that contains a high-pressure gas canister for inflation of the airbag around the cervical
area, also covering part of the shoulders and the upper chest.
3.1.4. Batteries and battery life of the System
When completely charged, the system should be capable of staying on for around 8 hours of racetrack use. Whenever the rider makes no
significant movements for more than 5 minutes (static electronic system), the System automatically enters stand-by status in order to
minimize consumption. As soon as significant movements resume, the System switches back on.
The battery is not subject to memory effect, and therefore the System can be completely charged in any moment.
For more information on battery operation and charging, see paragraph 4.1. "Checking the battery charge level and charging".
3.1.5. USB battery charger
The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. comes with a USB battery charger. This battery charger must be connected to a 100-240V 50-60Hz outlet.
Whenever a 100-240V 50-60Hz outlet is not available, the battery can be charged by using the USB cable to connect the System directly
to a computer.
Once the USB cable is connected to the charging source, the user interface LED will light up red. When 90% of the full charge has been
reached, the LED will turn green. When the system is fully charged, the LED will turn blue.
3.2. Checking correct functionality of the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S.
Perform a pre-ride check before each use to make sure the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. is ready to activate properly. Make
sure that:
There are no signs of wear, breakage, or damage. If you have questions, contact your nearest Authorized Dainese Service
Center or directly the Dainese Technical Assistance Service or an authorized Dainese dealer.
The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S.
is fully charged. Charge if necessary.
The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S.
has correctly identified the GPS signal. The D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S.
will not switch on, function, or
be triggered if it has not identified the GPS signal.
All protectors are correctly positioned.
All fasteners of the suit into which the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S. is integrated are closed. In particular, if you do not close the
front zip, the D-AIR RACING 1 I.P.S.
might not protect you.
Make sure that there are no items in pockets or in backpacks that could perforate or damage the air bag.
Always check System functionality before use. Use of the system when signs of anomaly appear must be considered as being performed
at the user’s own risk.
After putting on the System, switch it on and step outside where the GPS signal can be correctly received. When you see a blue LED
signal every two seconds, this means that the System is ready for use. "For more details, check the flashing codes in the previous
paragraph "Guide to user interface LED sequences during use of the D-
AIR RACING 1 I.P.S.”."
