Page 13: Ema
The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag system EMA is battery operated. The EMA battery service life is essentially defined by the refurbishment requirement of the EMA. Under typical operating and environmental conditions, the battery service life is equal to the EMA refurbishment period.
Page 14: Sdt
To maintain the battery life of the system, there are no self-annunciating diagnostics in the EMA that can negatively impact battery life. A SDT is provided to test the status the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag. This portable device has been designed for use by personnel after system installation and airline maintenance personnel at predetermined intervals (every 4000 flight- hours).
