CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
A. CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
(1) Read all the applicable WARNINGS and CAUTIONS prior to working on AmSafe Seatbelt
Airbag Components. These will be repeated where applicable throughout this document.
WARNING:
THE INFLATOR ASSEMBLY IS A STORED GAS/ENERGETIC MATERIAL
DEVICE. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY BE CAUSED BY MISUSE
AND/OR TAMPERING.
DO NOT MISHANDLE OR TAMPER WITH THE PRODUCT IN ANY
WAY.
NEVER
ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE INFLATOR TO SERVICE THE GAS
STORAGE SYSTEM.
NEVER
APPLY ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE ELECTRONICS
CONNECTION.
WARNING
: INADVERTANT CONNECTION OF SEATBELT HALVES DURING HANDLING OR
INSTALLATION COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG. THE SAFETY TIE
PREVENTS CONNECTION OF THE SEATBELT HALVES. THE SAFETY TIE ON
THE TONGUE OF AIRBAG BELT MUST NOT BE PERMANENTLY REMOVED
UNTIL AMSAFE SEATBELT AIRBAG SYSTEM IS INTEGRATED INTO OEM’S
SEAT AND INSTALLED IN AIRCRAFT.
WARNING
: THE AIRBAG SHOULD NEVER BE ACTIVE WITH AN USECURED SEAT OR
UNSECURED EMA. THE AMSAFE SEATBELT AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL DEPLOY
IF THE EMA OR SEAT RECEIVES AN INPUT ABOVE THE DEPLOYMENT
THRESHOLD OF THE SYSTEM. THE DEPLOYMENT THRESHOLD IS EASILY
ACHIEVED IF THE EMA IS UNSECURED TO THE SEAT OR IF AN USECURED
SEAT RECEIVES A SHOCK SUCH AS DROPPING THE SEAT ON THE FLOOR.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT A SEAT WITH AN ACTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM BE
SECURED SUCH THAT IT CANNOT BE DROPPED OR MISHANDLED.
WARNING:
ALL AMSAFE AIRBAG SYSTEMS WITH A LIFT LATCH BUCKLE HAVE AN
ENABLING SWITCH.
IF THE AMSAFE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS AN END-RELEASE BUCKLE, IT MAY
NOT HAVE AN ENABLING SWITCH. AN AIRBAG WITHOUT AN ENABLING
SWITCH IS ALWAYS LIVE
, EVEN WITH A DISCONNECTED BUCKLE.
IF THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL CABLE ATTACHED TO THE END-RELEASE
BUCKLE, THERE IS NO ENABLING SWITCH AND THE SYSTEM IS LIVE AS
SOON AS ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE MADE.
IF THE ENABLING SWITCH IS NOT PRESENT OR IT IS A STRUCTURE
MOUNTED SYSTEM, THE EMA MUST NOT
BE CONNECTED TO THE CABLE
INTERFACE ASSEMBLY UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS BEING TESTED OR THE
SEAT IS INSTALLED ON THE AIRCRAFT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL THE EMA BE CONNECTED DURING TRANSPORTATION IF IT IS A
NON-ENABLING SWITCH SYSTEM OR STRUCTURE MOUNTED SYSTEM.
