INITIAL OPERATION - STANDARD MODE

When you collect your motorcycle, the Datatool System will be armed in STANDARD MODE.

In this mode the system arms automatically, 30 seconds after you switch off the ignition.

Before moving or starting your motorcycle, You will need to DISARM the system.

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM

TO ARM THE SYSTEM

The system will arm again automatically after

30 seconds if the ignition isn’t turned ON.

The system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the ignition is switched OFF,

or you can arm the system manually before this time.

FULL ALARM REACTION

Once triggered, the audible alarm will sound and the indicators will flash for 30 seconds,

the alarm will then switch off and reset automatically (See Diagnostic Mode).

To switch OFF the alarm manually, use the transmitter.

Page 2

In normal setting, movement/nudge detection is enabled automatically when the

system arms. Warning beeps will sound if the motorcycle is nudged or moved, too

many beeps within a certain time will initiate a full reaction.

IGNITION CIRCUIT

If the circuit is

hotwired, or the

ignition is forced.

BATTERY CIRCUIT

If any part of the

circuit becomes live,

or the battery

connection is cut.

MOVEMENT

If the motorcycle is

moved or nudged

(with movement/

nudge detection on).

TAMPER

If there is any

attempt to gain

access to the alarm

control unit.

Four elements of the motorcycle are monitored and will initiate a full reaction if any

of the following occurs.

Movement/Nudge detection should be disarmed

when you are filling with petrol at a garage, or

moving the motorcycle with the ignition off.

NEVER LEAVE THE MOTORCYCLE UNATTENDED WHEN MOVEMENT/NUDGE

DETECTION IS DISABLED

OPERATION - SERVICE/VALET MODE

IMPORTANT
Protective T rigger Switch

A Protective Tr igger Switch
is fitted to protect the
System Control Unit from
access eg: under the seat,
side panel or petrol tank. In
normal operation, if this is
tampered with a full alarm
reaction will be initiated.

In Service Mode, the
Protective Tr igger Switch is
disarmed allowing access to
the area protected by it.

YOUR MOTORCYCLE IS COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED IN SERVICE MODE

Engage Service Mode when you wish to service
or clean your motorcycle, or remove the motorcycle
battery.

IMPORTANT

If after entering service/valet mode you get more than one audible beep every 15

seconds, the system has been triggered in your absence and you have automatically

entered diagnostic mode (see diagnostics table on page 9).

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

A hazard warning lights function is included.

To switch off the hazard warning lights,

but leave the system armed, press

both buttons together for 3 seconds.

To switch off the hazard warning lights,

and disarm the system, press the

round button.

NOTE:

When entering Hazard Warning Lights Mode,

the hazard warning lights flash 5 times then

stop.The motorcycle battery is too low to

maintain this mode.

SLEEP MODE

If the level of charge in your motorcycle battery drops, the system will go into Sleep
Mode conserving remaining power.

NOTE: If the system does not come out of sleep mode in the normal way, hold the
transmitter button down, at the same time turn on the ignition.

RIDER OPTION - Siren Tone Selector

You can choose one
of eight individual
siren tones.

The siren tone will be

subdued during the

selection process.

RIDER OPTION - Arming the system without Movement/Nudge Function

RIDER OPTION - Arming/Disarming the system in Silent Mode

The System can be programmed to arm with the movement/nudge function disarmed
(Ferry Mode).This is achieved by securely grounding the Yellow wire.

NOTE: If you arm the system manually with the transmitter (within 30 seconds of
turning the ignition off) the system will arm with movement/nudge function armed.

Movement/nudge detection can be switched ON/OFF at any time with the transmitter
when the system is armed.

The System can be programmed to
arm/disarm in silent mode. This is achieved by
securely grounding the white wire.

PIN OVERRIDE - INITIAL PIN ENTRY

If your transmitter is lost or damaged, or the transmitter battery is flat, the System can be
overriden by a four digit PIN (Personal Identity Number) used in conjunction with the
ignition switch.The System is supplied without a PIN.

We recommend that you set your own individual four digit PIN as soon as possible.
The first time a new PIN is entered, you must have access to the in-line fuse.

PIN OVERRIDE - CHANGE PIN

Page 8

DISARMING USING PIN OVERRIDE

If your transmitter is lost or damaged, or the transmitter battery is flat, the System
can be overriden by your four digit PIN used in conjunction with the ignition switch.

The PIN facility can only be used after a full alarm reaction has been initiated.

Until your transmitter is replaced or repaired, this procedure must be repeated

to disarm the system every time it arms.

Entering an incorrect PIN will initiate a full alarm reaction.

Carry your spare in-line fuse and transmitter when touring.

SYSTEM REACTION DIAGNOSTICS

Reaction Indication

If the system has been triggered in your absence, a long audible tone will be heard when
the alarm is disarmed with the transmitter. If you wish to establish the reason for the alarm
being triggered, enter Service Mode and count the number of beeps emitted from the
alarm (see diagnostics table below).

To return to service mode - disarm the system (see page 1) and re-enter service
mode (see page 3).

Alarm Reaction Diagnostics

• Check the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.

• Check the system fuse.

• Check that you are within range of the
motorcycle (10m max.).

• Under rare circumstances, the transmitter
operational range can be affected by radio
interference from other sources.This
problem can be overcome by moving the
transmitter closer to the motorcycle. In
extreme circumstances when the
interference is so strong that the transmitter
will not function, the system can be
disarmed using your PIN.

• Check the condition of the transmitter
battery (see transmitter battery state ­maintenance).

System doesn’t
disarm or arm
manually

IMPORTANT

(System 3 only)

If there is a failure

within the control
unit, or if the unit

detects spurious or

missing signals from

the motorcycle, the

alarm control unit will

not immobilise the

motorcycle until the

ignition is switched

OFF.

The motorcycle will
not start again until
the “fault” has been

rectified.

• Check (where applicable) that engine
‘Run/Stop’ switch is in the ‘run’ position, side
stand is up and motorcycle is not in gear.

• Check the motorcycle battery is in good
condition.

• Check the system fuse
(NB: if the indicators do not function when
arming/disarming or during reaction, this
indicates a failed fuse or lack of power
supply/earth to alarm system).

• Check that the system will engage Service
Mode. If not, check all motorcycle fuses as
this indicates that the system is not
receiving an “ignition on” signal.

Starter motor
fails to function
(System 3 only)

• Failure of the system fuse

(see above).

• Movement/Nudge detection too sensitive,

ask your installer to reset the sensitivity to
its least sensitive setting.

• Protective Trigger Switch not set or

adjusted correctly.

False alarms
can be initiated
by the following

ALWAYS

CARRY A

SPARE

IN-LINE FUSE

Make sure your
installer advises you
of the location of the

in-line fuse. If the fuse

fails your motorcycle

will be immobilised

until it is replaced.
If the replacement

fuse blows repeatedly,

or you continue to

experience difficulties

consult your dealer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

TRANSMITTER

The transmitter contains delicate electronic
circuits and must be protected from impact and
water damage. Do not remove soft plastic body
until batteries need replacing.

Low Transmitter Battery State

If three long tones are heard when the
transmitter operates, the transmitter batteries
need replacing.

REPLACE THE BATTERIES (two CR2016) as
soon as possible.Failure to do so will mean that
you are unable to disarm the system, and your
motorcycle will be immobilised (see pin override).

Replacing Transmitter Batteries

Clean the battery contacts and make sure that
the replacement batteries are of the correct type
and located in the correct position with the
polarity maintained.

New T ransmitters

If one of your transmitters has been lost or
damaged, a new transmitter can be supplied.The
new transmitter will automatically cancel the lost
or damaged transmitter, so only two functioning
transmitters can ever exist. Contact your supplier
for full details of this service.

CONTROL UNIT

The control unit also contains delicate electronic
circuits and must never be pressure washed or
steam cleaned.

MOTORCYCLEBATTERY

If the battery level falls, the alarm system is
equipped with ‘intelligent sleep mode’.

Intelligent battery chargers and optimisers are
available to maintain the motorcycle battery in
top condition, recommended types are Optimate
(DATATOOL Part No 02012011) and Airflow
(DATATOOL Part No 02012009). DATATOOL does
not recommend that any other charging device is
used unless the system has been put in
SERVICE MODE and the IN-LINE Fuse has
been removed prior to connection of the charging
device.

Contact your DATATOOL Installer for further
information.
