2. Principles of Operation
The System consists of a vest with an integrated Airbag Electronic Control Unit (with built-
in sensors) and a LED Display (2) (Figure 1). The Airbag Electronic Control Unit contains 1
tri-axial accelerometer and 1 tri-axial gyroscope (also referred to as a sensor cluster). 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 obstacle, 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) (3). 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® App" in Section
17). The System does NOT need to be connected to the Tech-Air® App to work, it functions
independently of the Tech-Air® App.
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 Google Play Store or at the Apple Store.
