2. Principles of Operation
The System consists of an Airbag Control Unit (8) (with built-in sensors) integrated into a
set of protectors (Figure 1). The cluster of sensors of the Airbag Control Unit (8) consists of
1 tri-axial accelerometer and 1 tri-axial gyroscope positioned inside the back protector (11).
These sensors monitor the user's body for shocks or unexpected movements. In the event
the user's body is subject to a high and/or sudden amount of energy, the System will deploy.
This may occur when the motorcycle is involved in an accident, such as when the motorcycle
collides with another vehicle or with an object, when the rider loses control or when the
rider falls off the motorcycle.
The System is equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device located in the Electronic
Control Unit (ECU). The BLE allows the System to connect directly to a mobile phone in
order to receive important information from the System, while also permitting the users to
access a number of other functions (for further information see "Tech-Air
10). The System does NOT need to be connected to the Tech-Air
work, it functions independently of the Tech-Air
To connect the System to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, remember to
activate the Bluetooth module within your phone and to download the Tech-
Air App available at the Android Play Store or at the Apple App Store.
