Thank you for choosing DENALI

We know you would rather be riding your bike than wrenching on it, so we go the extra
mile to make sure our instructions are clear and as easy to understand as possible. If
you have any questions, comments, or suggestions don’t hesitate to give our experts
a call at 401.360.2550 or visit WWW.DENALIELECTRONICS.COM

Please Read Before Installing

DENALI products should always be installed by a qualified motorcycle technician. If
you are unsure of your ability to properly install a product, please have the product
installed by your local motorcycle dealer. DENALI takes no responsibility for damages
caused by improper installation. Caution: When installing electronics it is extremely
important to pay close attention to how wires are routed, especially when mounting
products to the front fender, front fork, or fairing of your motorcycle. Always be sure
to turn the handlebars fully left, fully right, and fully compress the suspension to
ensure the wires will not bind and have enough slack for your motorcycle to operate
properly.

Installation Tips

We strongly recommend using medium strength liquid thread locker on all screws and
bolts. It is also important to ensure that all hardware is tightened to the proper torque
specifications as listed in your owner’s manual. For included accessory hardware
please refer to the default torque specifications provided below. Inspect all hardware
after the first 30 miles to ensure that proper torque specifications are maintained.

Hardware Sizing Guide

Not sure what size bolt you have? Use this ruler to measure screws, bolts, spacers, etc.
Remember, the length of a screw or bolt is measured from the start of the “mounting
surface” to the end of the screw, so only include the screw head when measuring
countersunk screws.

1.1 - Overview of Device

The DENALI CANsmart™ Controller provides plug-n-play installation and
integrated control of up to four accessories to enable dozens of customiz­able settings that can be controlled right from the BMW Multi Controller or
the CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software.

The four circuits are pre-programmed to connect and independently control
two sets of DENALI 2.0 lights, a SoundBomb horn, and our B6 auxiliary
brake light. However, our Circuit Function Selector in the CANsmart
software will let you run any accessory of your choice on any of the four
circuits.

1.2 - Overview of System Features

The two auxiliary light circuits enable independent adjustment of high and
low beam brightness right from the vehicle’s “WonderWheel”. It also
features a “flash to pass” and “strobe when horn active” setting that will
strobe the auxiliary lights when you pulse your high beam switch or sound
your horn.

The feature-rich brake light circuit will transform a simple 2-wire brake light
into a “smart brake light” complete with running light, multiple flash
patterns, and deceleration activated braking functionality.

The horn circuit enables the addition of an auxiliary horn without having to
add a relay and dedicated horn wiring harness.

3.1 - Light Set One & Two (Red & White Circuits)

In the default configuration, the circuit for Light Set One is the longest red
lead, the shortest white lead is for Light Set Two. Both circuits are designed
to handle up to 10 amps each.

Step One: Plug the male 3-pin connector of the Light Extension-Splitter
into one of the CANsmart™ Controller’s light circuits.

Step Two: Begin routing the harness toward the front of the bike. Secure
the harness to the vehicle’s frame along the way with the included zip ties.
Be sure to avoid any moving components such as radiator fan blades or
suspension.

Step Three: Plug the DENALI Light Pods into the female 3-pin connec­tors of the Extension-Splitter. Repeat steps One through Three using a
second Light Extension-Splitter for the second set of lights.

Two-Wire Dimming: Turn off “Three-Wire Dimming Mode” for correct
dimming operation of auxiliary LED lights that have only two wires. If
enabled the 3rd yellow wire will be deactivated and PWM data will
instead be transmitted through the red wire.

Wire two wire lights using the red wire for positive (+) and the black
wire for negative (-).
