4 Safety Instructions

• PRIOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE DEVICE AND GENERALLY PRIOR TO ANY

WORK AT THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED
COMPLETELY. THEREFORE KEEP THIS ORDER: DISCONNECT AT FIRST THE
NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND THEN THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. FOR THE
RECONNECTION ACT IN THE REVERSE ORDER.

• USE OF M-UNIT TO VEHICLES WITH PLUS POLE TO VEHICLE FRAME (OLDER

ENGLISH MOTORCYCLES) IS NOT POSSIBLE.

• INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE M-UNIT HAS TO BE CARIED

OUT BY A CERTIFIED MOTORCYCLE TECHNICIAN ONLY.

• ALL CABLE DIAMETERS MUST BE DIMENSIONED ACORDING THE CURRENT FLOW.

THE CABLE DIAMETERS MUST NOT GO BELOW THE VALUES LISTED IN CHAPTER

7.5. CURRENT FLOW OF CONNECTED LOADS MUST NOT EXEED THE VALUES
LISTED IN CHAPTER 7.5

• THE CABLE ENDS TO M-UNIT’S CONNECTION TERMINAL MUST BE CRIMPED WITH

CABLE END SLEVES. THEREFORE USE A SUITABLE CRIMPING TOOL.

• ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN THE WIRING LOOM AND AT THE CONNECTION

TERMINALS HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT IN A PROPER WAY. FAILURES AT
CONNECTING JOINTS MAY CAUSE A CONTACT RESISTANCE AND MAY LEAD TO
HEAT GENERATION DURING HIGH CURRENT FLOW. THERE IS A RISK OF SERIOUS
OR LETHAL INJURIES.

• THE DEVICE WILL BECOME DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR IF A BATTERY CABLE IS

DISCONNECTED WHILE THE RUNS (LOOSE OR WORN CONTACT ETC.). PLEASE
MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY IS CONNECTED CORRECTLY AND THAT
THE CONNECTOR CABLES ARE FIXED TIGHTLY.

5 Functions And Operation

The m-Unit is able act as central control unit in vehicle’s electrical system. It provides following
features:

• Entirely digital push button control unit (with optional 4- or 5-bush-button controls)

• Complete replacement of all OEM fuses. Eight independent circuits are digitally supervised. A

circuit will be shut down in case of interference. After removing the interference the circuit will
be switched on automatically.

• Integrated, digital, load-independent flasher relay with programmable switch off feature and
adjustable position light feature

• Integrated digital brake-light modulator with programmable flashing sequence

• Integrated starter relay for solenoid switches (up to 30A current flow)

• Intelligent control and shut-down of single loads; i.e. switch headlight off during cranking to

use maximum battery power.

• Control of head light’s low beam and high beam (200W switched power max.) with only one
push button

• Integrated digital horn relay

• Integrated alarm system (irrespective of orientation)

• Integrated hazard light feature

• Internal LED provides the status of vehicles electrical system at a glance – easy trouble

shooting.

• Easy setup by a temporary push button

• Diagnostic features for the assignment of input, output, switching state of the circuit, short

circuit diagnostics etc.

The device is completely moulded and resistant against water, heat, cold and vibrations. Micro­processor operated and supervised circuits guaranty highest reliability. Current flow of each circuit
is measured with high accuracy. In case of a failure like a short-circuit or overload the concerning
loop will be shut down in a split second. All switching activities are carried out by state of the art
semiconductor switches in a fast, wear-free and almost lossless way.

Therefore no other components like relays, boxes, fuses are necessary. A complete new wiring
harness can be made with minimal time; materials and effort compared to conventional solutions
only a fraction of space and cables is needed. State of the art technology like pulse width
modulation afford new possibilities like connecting rear and brake light together with only one
cable.

The current status of each circuit is shown by an internal LED at the m-unit's topside :

LED off - input not active, output not powered
LED on - input active, output powered – normal condition
short flashing - output shutdown due short circuit or overload
one short flash each 2s - alarm system active

(only at „lock“)

Turn Signals

Automatic shut-off can be adjust in setup menu. If this feature is activated a countdown will start
once the signal is flashing. If the adjusted countdown has ended the turn signal stop flashing. The
countdown will stop and set back if the brake is activated. Once the brake is released the
countdown start again with full time length. If a turn signal switch is used and signals has been
automatically shutting down, the switch has to set back to centre prior set the turn signal switch
again to left or right. If two turn signal push button are used is additionally the lane change mode
available. If the button is pressed very shortly the signals will flash only 3 times.

Hazard light

For starting the hazard light hold the push buttons for left and right turn signal for 2 seconds. If a
turn light switch is used, the hazard light function can only be activated if a additional hazard light
switch is activating both turn light inputs at the same time. The hazard light mode will stay active
even if the main (ignition) switch is deactivated.

Light control

In order to save the vehicles battery power the head light is always switched off after key lock is
switched on. The head light will be activated automatically after pressing the start button or (for kick
start) after one short light switch operation.

If a push buttons is used for high/low beam control, a short push will toggle between high and low
beam. Hold the button for 2s will switch off light completely. Press the button again will switch low
beam on again. If a switch is used for light control it is only possible to toggle between high and low
beam once the light is activated.

The m-units light circuits are suitable for standard H4 55/60W Halogen bulbs. The output
connections for the lights (Light Hi Out/ Light Low Out) can withstand switched power of up to
120W. It is not possible to connect bulbs with higher power output.

The headlamp flasher feature is activated by a short tap to the push-button.

THE PARKING LIGHT FEATURE IS ACTIVATED IF HIGH BEAM IS ACTIVATED WHILE
SWITCHING OFF THE MAIN (IGNITION) SWITCH. THE PARKING LIGHT FEATURE IS
REALIZED BY THE EXISTING LOW BEAM AND REAR LIGHT ILLUMINANT. THERE IS NO
ADDITIONAL PARKING LIGHT LAMP NECESSARY. PARKING LIGHT SHOULD NO LONGER
ACTIVATED THAN 2 HOURS TO PREVENT DRAINING THE BATTERY. THEREFORE A
ACTIVATED PARKING LIGHT WILL BE INDICATED BY TWO SHORT HONKS.
