a) Place the sensor on the bottom of one of the fork sleeves of the
motorcycle. Please check that no part of the motorcycle comes into
contact with the sensor while riding.
b) Add the shim if necessary to adjust the fork sensor.
c) Tighten the screw by using the nut. Do not tighten more than 1.5 Nm
to avoid breaking the fork sensor (you can stop screwing when it gets
dicult to turn the bracelet with your hand).
C. Wear the vest
Adjust the straps of the vest and close the three clips (e-Turtle) or close the velcro
(e-GP Air) for proper airbag operation.
3. Impacts and detected accidents
For the autonomous version (without fork sensor) the minimum speed must be 20
km/h for a fall or accident to be detected. Here are the possible detection cases:
- Motorcycle striking or being struck by a signicant obstacle (vehicle, wall, post, etc.)
from the front, side or rear.
- Loss of control of the motorcycle (without impact on the motorcycle): Slipping on the
side or falling o the motorcycle.
When the vest is associated with the fork sensor, the list of detected accidents is
extended to impacts from 0 km/h on (e.g. impact when stopped by a third party vehicle).
Additionally, the detection time is divided by 2.
Please note that each accident is dierent. Even though the Helite crash detection system
covers a large majority of potential accidents, there is always a non-zero risk of non-
triggering, especially in the following situations:
- Lack of GPS signal (tunnel, underground parking, etc.)
- Speed too low (especially when using the vest in autonomous version)
- Low-amplitude fall.
