System Operation - Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Guide Utilisateur

Charging and Use Times
Approximately 4 hours are required to recharge a discharged battery with the supplied
USB Charger (13), with exception of the first battery charge which may require a longer
time (approx. 12 hours). A fully charged battery will provide approximately 30 hours of
use. If limited time is available, charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide
approximately 7 to 8 hours of use.
Tip: The System may be charged by connecting it to a computer, or to an
alternative Micro USB charger. However, if the current output is under 1
Ampere, the charging times will be longer than those stated above.
WARNING! In case of use of a charger different from that supplied with the
System, for a safe operation always insure that the used USB charger
is compliant to EN 62368-1 class 1 or 2, with a maximum output
current of 2 Amperes.
WARNING! The System should be recharged as soon as possible when the red
Battery Level LED light (3c) flashes, as this indicates a low battery
level.

12. System Operation

a) Turning On
To turn on the System, zip up the Magnetic Zip Closure (1) and close the Front Flap (2)
with Alpinestars logo taking care that hook-and-loop patches are correctly attached. An
internal magnetic switch will detect that the Front Flap (2) 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 meanings of the LED
indicator lights.
Tip: If the System does not power on (no LED Indications illuminate) first check
that the Front Flap (2) has been correctly closed, and be sure that the
battery has charge. If the problem persists, contact Tech-Air® Support
(see Section 19 "Tech-Air® Support").
WARNING! In order to activate the Tech-Air® 5 System, the Front Flap (2) must
be correctly closed taking care that the hook-and-loop patches are
correctly attached.
b) System Check
After the System is turned on correctly, the System starts performing a System Check. This
will be indicated by the solid yellow (3b) and green (3a) LED indicator lights. During such a
System Check the System will not deploy.
Whilst the System Check is being performed the System is looking for the body movements
to conduct one or all of the following activities:
• Walking (including up and down stairs)
• Mounting the motorcycle
• Riding the motorcycle.
If the System Check is passed a solid green (3a) LED indicator light will illuminate.
Note that the following activities are unlikely to pass the System Check:
• Zipping up the jacket without wearing it
• Standing still
• Sitting down – INCLUDING on the motorcycle with the engine at idle.
IMPORTANT! Should the System detect a situation incompatible with the normal
expected usage of the System, the System will automatically turn off and
so will the Led Display (3). Open and close the Front Flap (2) to turn the
System on again and re- perform the System Check.

WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
The status of the Tech-Air® System can be checked by connecting the System
through 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 do so, open and close the Front Flap (2)].
c) Turning Off
Turn the System off by opening the Front Flap (2). The System will shut down after 1 second
approximatively. Confirm that the System is off by checking that there are no indicator
lights illuminated in the LED Display (3).
To keep the System turned off, keep the Front Flap (2) open and make sure that Magnetic
Zip Closure (1) stays unzipped, as shown in Figure 9. Always keep the System in this condition
while stored, transported or shipped.

WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
You MUST ALWAYS check the LED Display (3) after the System Check
to confirm you have the solid green (3a) LED illuminated before
starting to ride/use the Tech-Air® 5 System. The System will not
deploy if a solid green LED (3a) is not present on LED display (3).
The Front Flap (2) functions using magnets. Magnetically sensitive items
(such as credit cards) should be kept at least 1cm away from the switch area.
ALWAYS turn the System off [by opening the Front Flap (2)] when you
are not riding a motorcycle, even if you continue to wear the System.
Although the System has been evaluated for a number of non-riding
activities, keeping the System turned on and/or active increases the
possibility of an unwanted deployment and drains the battery.

Figure 9
When not in use and being stored, transported or shipped, the
System must be turned off by leaving the Front Flap (2) open. This
prevents System to accidentally turning on and inadvertently deploy,
and it will preserve battery and battery life.
Even when the System Check has successfully been completed, the System
will automatically turn off should the System detect:
- a rider position incompatible with the normal wearing of the System
or
- no movements
for more than 10 minutes. When either of the above situations occur, open
and close the Front Flap (2) to restart the System and perform a new System
Check (for further details on the System Check activity, please check above
paragraph 12 b))
