Dummy

and TDAS G5 Docking Stations
The most common method of using a TDAS G5 DAS is within a docking station. Two
types of docking stations are available: in-dummy (
i
Dummy
™
) and on-vehicle (TDAS
G5 Docking Station). TDAS G5 DAS units can be moved from in-dummy to on-vehicle
applications as needed.
In-dummy Docking Station Configuration
The
i
Dummy
™
docking station allows for easy installation and removal of the TDAS G5
DAS into virtually any crash dummy type. Signals enter and exit the TDAS G5 DAS
through the interposer and pass through the flex circuit cable to the connector interface
panel where the dummy’s sens
ors are connected. Communications are also
accomplished through the connector interface panel. A single dummy can contain many
in-dummy docking stations.
