Automotive Supplemental Restraint Trainer
Give students hands-on experience with the components and technology behind automotive airbag and supplemental restraint systems. The Supplemental Restraint System Trainer (784-01) uses real components to teach airbag construction, seat belt pretensioners, impact sensors, electronic controls, safety procedures, and SRS diagnostics.
Automotive supplemental restraint systems contain critical safety components that students cannot easily investigate on an operating vehicle. The Supplemental Restraint System Trainer (784-01) from LJ Create provides an accessible demonstration system using real components to show the construction and operation of automotive airbag and restraint technology.
Based on a Vauxhall/Opel SAB 6 airbag system, this automotive safety systems trainer incorporates driver and passenger airbags, seat belt pretensioners, impact sensors, and two ECUs representing operational and deployed conditions. A carefully sectioned steering wheel reveals the internal construction of a typical restraint unit, while six integral fault switches and a manufacturer’s diagnostic socket support practical SRS diagnostic training. The accompanying manual also addresses maintenance and health and safety considerations associated with supplemental restraint systems.
Features
- Real automotive SRS components demonstrate the construction and operation of supplemental restraint technology.
- Sectioned steering wheel unit exposes the internal layout of a typical restraint system.
- Driver and passenger airbags demonstrate multiple vehicle airbag applications.
- Seat belt pretensioners introduce another critical component of modern occupant protection systems.
- Impact sensors and two ECUs represent both operational and deployed system conditions.
- Manufacturer diagnostic socket supports practical electronic diagnostic testing.
- Six integral fault switches create controlled SRS troubleshooting exercises.
