This Owner’s Guide

Warranty Card

important information

Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art motorcycle

security system. It has been designed to provide years of trouble-free

operation. This system must be installed by an authorised dealer.

Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorised dealer

voids the warranty. As verification of authorization, all authorised deal-

ers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates.

In order to maximize the use of this system, please review this owner's

guide carefully prior to using your system. You can print additional or

replacement copies of this owner’s guide by accessing the Directed

website at www.directed.com.

nnoottee::

Your system MUST be installed by an Authorised dealer in accordance with the instructions we supply them. The Merlin 3000 system is designed to be installed on any 12-volt, negative ground motorcycle or moped.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance. The batteries in your

remotes will last approximately one year under normal use. Your 3-but-

ton remote is powered by a miniature 3V lithium battery (CR2032). Your

in-key 2-button remote is powered by a 12V miniature battery (type

27A).

your warranty

It is necessary to retain your sales receipt, which reflects that the prod-

uct was installed by an authorised dealer. For full details regarding your

warranty coverage, please refer to the consumer warranty section of

this guide.

remote functions

This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the remote buttons. This makes it possible to assign any remote button to any system function. The remotes initially come programmed with standard configuration. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration remote.

using your system

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the

standard remote configuration. If your remote has been custom con-

figured, the icons on your remote buttons may not correspond to the

indicated functions.

arming

You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your remote

for one second. When the system arms, you will hear one short siren

sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. The LED will illu-

minate steadily.

While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approximately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear more than one chirp when arming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a malfunction autobypass.

The security system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically without a remote (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 30-seconds after the ignition is turned off. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming countdown, the siren will chirp once and the lights will flash once five seconds after countdown has commenced. This is indicated by the rapid flash from the status LED. The system is not actually armed at that point. The system arms after the 30-second countdown has elapsed, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

The LED will flash as a visible theft deterrent.

If the tilt sensor detects the motorcycle is being moved in an attempt to steal it, the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the indicator lights.

This sensor is capable of independently learning the bike’s initial angles of vertical and horizontal inclination each time it is parked, ensuring the most accurate tilt (vertical and horizontal) sensing possible.

If a protected switch is opened, the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the indicator lights.

The immobiliser prevents the motorcycle’s engine from starting.

nnoottee::

If one of the zone 4 or 5 switch inputs is active or the ignition is on, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, if one of these switches is activated or the ignition is turned on, the countdown will cease, then begin again when the input is removed.

disarming

To disarm the system, press . You will hear two chirps and the

parking lights will flash twice. If the siren chirps four times when disarm-

ing, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper

Alert. If the siren is active (sounding) when the system is disarmed you

will hear three chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the

Remote Siren Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm com-

pletes the full trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear four chirps.

disarming without a remote

This feature allows you to disarm the system without the remote should

it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a remote,

you must have the motorcycle’s ignition key, know where the Valet

switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the

installer for the location of the Valet switch.

Turn the ignition On and then enter the PIN code as given in the fol-

lowing example to disarm without a remote.

1. Find the preset PIN code given in this manual.

FOR EXAMPLE: To disarm first enter a PIN code of 4301.

2. Turn the ignition On.

3. Press four times.

4. Then once. This enters the digit 4.

5. Then three times.

6. Then once. This enters the digit 3.

7. Then once. This enters a 0 as there was not a previous digit entered with .

8. Then once.

9. Then once. This enters the final digit 1.

auto-immobilisation

Immobiliser circuits automatically activate after 30-seconds.

Auto-immobilisation sequence:

1. Turn ignition off or disarm alarm.

2. After 30-seconds the systems Immobilisation circuits activate and engage the starter and engine interrupts.

3. LED flashes at ½ normal speed.

Disarm the system when immobilised:

Use one of the following methods to turn off auto-immobilisation.

Turn ignition on and press the button of the transmitter.

Arm the alarm and then disarm the alarm.

Turn the ignition on and enter the system Valet/PIN code.

remote siren silencing

Remote siren silencing is a feature that makes it possible to silence and

reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system. If

the system is triggered and the siren is sounding, press on the

remote to stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The

system will not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from dis-

abling the system should you wish to silence it without visually check-

ing the vehicle. After resetting the system, press again to disarm

the system.
