PRODUCT PRESENTATION

a) The elements of the e-GP Air (GP-AIR ELECTRONIC)

1. Airbag vest
   It integrates the CDU electronic card, the e-cartridge, the airbag system and the protective foams. It is worn over your motorcycle garment.

2. CDU electronic card
   It analyzes the situation in real time (position of the rider in space, movement, speed, etc.) and detects accidents or falls. It incorporates a non- removable Lithium Ion Cylindrical Battery 3.70V 2600mAh. It has 2 cables: a cable to recharge thebattery and a cable to connect the e-cartridge (locking connector). The CDU electronic card must be used exclusively inside the airbag vest. You must not remove it from the airbag vest, use it outside, alone or in another textile. RF characteristics: 868MHz -916MHz (0dBm). GPS reception frequency: 1565.42 – 1585.42MHz (GPS) / 1602 – 1610 MHz (GNSS).

3. E-cartridge with pyrotechnic triggering system
   It consists of pressurized CO2 gas, a pyrotechnic triggering system and a locking connector . The airbag vest comes with a new cartridge already installed and ready to use. If a fall or accident is detected, the pyrotechnic triggering system integrated in the cartridge will pierce its cover and release the gas that will inflate the airbag. The cartridge can be replaced easily and quickly by the user (see page 33). It is recommended to always have a spare cartridge. The e-GP Air (GP-AIR ELECTRONIC) has 1 cartridge reference : e-60 cc. To find out the reference of your cartridge, please refer to its label, to the marking on the label next to the cartridge inside the airbag vest or by consulting the size chart of your product (see page 26).
   PRECAUTIONS FOR USING THE CARTRIDGE

   • The cartridge is for single use only and must be replaced after each inflation with a new cartridge of the same reference.
   • Use only Helite brand cartridges available from your dealer or on the helite.com website.
   • Gas cartridges are considered hazardous materials and should be kept out of reach of children and used with care.
   • Never plug in the cartridge until it is completely screwed into its slot.
   • If rust stains or signs of deterioration appear on the cartridge, replace it immediately and contact your dealer or Helite at [email protected].
   • The cartridge should be stored at temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F). It should be stored away from moisture and light.
   • If the cartridge has been stored at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), we recommend keeping it at ambient temperature for several minutes before using your airbag vest to avoid malfunction of the airbag.
   • Do not expose the cartridge for a long period of time to high temperatures (in full sun in a car, near a radiator, etc.) near a surface or flammable objects.
   • Do not hit the cartridge, do not drop it, do not cut or pierce it, and do not throw it into fire.
   • Caution, the gas inside the cartridge is compressed to a very high pressure.
   • Find more information about the annual verification of the cartridge on page 37, its recycling on page 38 and its warranty on page 38

4. Protective foams (9 mm)
   They are integrated in the airbag vest on the front and rear. They allow to absorb the shocks and to distribute the force of the impacts. Caution, you must not use the airbag vest if the protective foams have been removed.

5. USB cable
   It allows to recharge the battery of the airbag vest CDU electronic card (see page 28). Please note: only the USB cable is supplied, you will then have to connect it to a standard USB charger (5 VDC).

b) Size of the airbag vest
For optimal protection, be sure to choose the right size of the airbag vest for your body type. This chart (in cm) shows the area of protection covered by the airbag and the cartridge reference to be used.

c) Airbag protection areas

The airbag protects vital areas in the event of a fall or accident (thorax, abdomen, neck, back, sacrum). Its protection volume effectively absorbs shocks.

CAUTION

• No single PPE or PPE combination can provide complete protection against injury.
• This PPE garment is designed to provide impact protection for the areas covered by the impact protector(s). It does not offer minimum abrasion protection.
• The protection of the airbag is only guaranteed in the inflated state.

d) Detection of accidents and falls: race track mode and road mode

GOOD TO KNOW
If you update your Helite electronic system, your detection level may change. Please refer to the update information

The Helite electronic system detects several configurations of accidents or falls. It analyzes movements, speed, impacts and uses a GPS signal. The e-GP Air airbag has 2 detection modes: a road mode and a race track mode. The different detection modes allow the algorithm to be adjusted to the specificities of each application and therefore to the fall or accident detection conditions. If the selected mode is not adapted to your application, the performance of the detection can be strongly degraded (non-detection, delayed or unexpected triggering). To find out how tochange your detection mode see 29 XX.

ROAD MODE
The road mode has been designed for use exclusively on asphalt roads for vehicle traffic. Detection is active when the motorcycle is moving at a speed greater than  18 km/h: motorcycle being hit (front, side or rear), motorcycle hit a significant obstacle (vehicle, wall, pole, etc.), loss of control of the motorcycle, slipping, high side, low side.

RACE TRACK MODE
The race track mode has been designed for use exclusively on a regulated closed race track in asphalt. Detection is active when the motorcycle is moving at a speed greater than 45 km/h: motorcycle being hit (front, side or rear), motorcycle hit a significant obstacle (vehicle, wall, pole, etc.), loss of control of the motorcycle, slipping, high side, low side, speed wobble

CAUTION

• The choice of detection mode is the full responsibility of the user, who must ensure before each use that he or she has selected the appropriate detection mode for his or her application.
• In case of alteration or absence of GPS signal (tunnel, underground parking, etc.) the detection of an accident or fall cannot be guaranteed.
• In cases of falls or accidents that are too slow or of a too low amplitude, it is possible that the detection is not done in time or not at all.
• Do not shake or hit the CDU electronic card when using the airbag on your motorcycle, as this could cause unexpected triggers.
• The electronic system is sensitive to sudden movements. Do not intentionally perform movements that do not correspond to normal motorcycle riding.
• In some extreme situations, the electronic system could be triggered without the user falling.

e) Autonomy

Under optimal conditions, the airbag vest has an autonomy of approximately 25 hours when it is switched on and active (excluding sleep mode). It switches to sleep mode automatically when no movement is detected for about 45 seconds and wakes up at the first movement. It is recommended to recharge it every week (see page 31).

f) Update

The Helite electronic system may be subject to change. In case of an important update, you will be contacted by your dealer or Helite.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

• The airbag vest should only be used in temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F) and + 45 °C (113 °F). Prolonged exposure of the airbag vest to temperatures outside thisrange may damage it and affect its function.
• Do not modify or remove any part of the airbag vest.
• Do not sew or stick (heat transfer,…) anything to the airbag vest.
• Do not carry sharp objects (such as keys, knives, screwdrivers) in your pockets that could damage the airbag.
