Abstract

A configuration for triggering a personal protection system supplies a trigger signal for triggering the personal protection system which is dependent on an acceleration-dependent release signal and a response of a switch that operates acceleration-dependently, in a protection device or safing sensor. A simple and testable structure for such a protection device includes two switching units which can be alternately connected through and locked for testing purposes.
