| 951 3059 Disarming kit Tool number: 951 3059 Tool description: Disarming kit Tool boards: 30 |
BACKGROUND
Make sure to follow local regulations that apply to the instruction/information below.
Background information regarding the destruction of non-triggered pyrotechnic components
A tool kit with mounting devices, discharge box and adapter wiring has been developed for the destruction of electrically activated pyrotechnic components that have been disconnected and removed from the vehicle.
Special Tool: 951 3059 Disarming kit
Destruction is carried out by connecting an adapter cable to the component and then connecting the cable to a 12 V battery via a discharge box, whereby the component can be activated.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The work may only be performed by trained personnel and at an approved location for this type of work.
Trained personnel refers to those with sufficient knowledge in the handling of pyrotechnic equipment.
An approved site means a site suitable for the equipment and its operation, and whose design complies with the authorities current requirements.
The equipment must not be used unless the aforementioned requirements are fulfilled.
Make sure to follow local regulations that apply to the instruction/information below.
Check thoroughly that no material or objects can be projected during disarmament.
Make sure to be a minimum distance of 9 meters from pyrotechnic components during deployment. If possible stand behind a wall.
To protect from injury, fully covering clothing (long pants and long-sleeved shirts), protective gloves, hearing protection, protective eyewear and, when handling destroyed components, a fresh air mask are to be worn.
Heat develops during destruction and spreads throughout the component. To enable reuse of adapter cables several times (if possible), the cable is to be detached with a pliers as soon as possible after destruction. This does not apply for dual stage airbags as the wait time between stage 1 and stage 2 destruction is 30 minutes.
SKIN CONTACT: Burnt pyrotechnic residue may be rapidly absorbed through the skin in toxic quantities. Wash with plenty of water. Do not use soap. Seek medical attention.
After cooling, destroyed components are to be put in a plastic bag and handled as scrap.
In case of no detonation, disconnect the detonation box from the battery and wait 20 minutes. Meanwhile, watch the pyrotechnic component so that no one enters the detonation area. After 20 minutes, check that the connectors at the detonation equipment and at the pyrotechnic component are correctly connected. If necessary, adjust these connections. Repeat detonation according to the regular method. With continued loss of function, disconnect the battery. Wait another 20 minutes. Meanwhile, watch the pyrotechnic component and that no one is in the disposal area. Then disconnect the connection at the pyrotechnic component. Remove the pyrotechnic component from the tire pile. Send the pyrotechnic component for disposal.
Check the equipment.
