For 2012 the standard attenuator may require the addition of a diagonal tube in the plane of the front bulkhead that connects two nodes. An optional configuration is an "X" brace that connects all four corners of the front bulkhead. Fore more information see the following pages. +.2 - .0 16.7 +.2 14.0 - .0

IMPACT ATTENUATOR
The 2012 (Type 12) Attenautor is geometrically similar to the 2011 (Type 11)
For 2012 attenuators purchased in either 2011 or 2012 may be used since they are identical
There is a new requirement for 2012 that a diagonal tube must be included in the front bulkhead unless the size of the front bulkhead is within 25mm (1 inch) on each side of the standard attenuator see next page
Standard IA TYPE12
IMPACT ATTENUATOR
The standard attenuator may be mounted in either orientation If any dimensions exceeds the values given below an additional diagonal must be incldued in the front bulkhead see next page The diagonal tube is required for front bulkheads larger than that shown below because the anti-intrusion plate would deflect more than allowed by B3.21.9 max.25 mm max.25 mm max.25 mm max.25 mm
