USER GUIDE
Welcome Thank you for choosing the new Datatool® S4 Alarm system for your motorcycle. The system provides many unique features designed to increase the protection of your machine or to customise its operation to meet your individual requirements. Some of these features can only be adjusted by your dealer and are dependent on local regulations. For these reasons, we advise you to discuss the options available with your installing dealer.
Your remote control All S4 systems come supplied with 2 remote controls as standard. It is possible to add up to 4 extra remote controls (6 in total). The picture below show the type of transmitter supplied with your alarm. S4 Red/Green standard 02012091 Datatool S4REM What the buttons do: There are two buttons on your transmitter. • The GREY button controls the main arm/disarm functions of the system.
Changing your remote control battery Each remote control contains a single long-life lithium battery (CR1616). This battery will normally last at least 12 months. Normal range for the remote control is around 10 metres. As the battery within the remote control comes to the end of its life, you will notice a reduction in its range and the battery should be replaced. 1. To replace the battery remove the small screw from the ‘key end’ of the remote and split the two halves of the case.
Operating the alarm system This section explains fully how the alarm system works. For a more basic explanation refer to the credit card sized instructions (S4 Quick reference) supplied. We advise you to carry the quick reference card with you for roadside guidance. Fully arming the alarm system Arming the system To fully arm the alarm system to give movement, nudge, trigger switch and battery back-up coverage, press the GREY button on the remote control within 45 seconds of turning the ignition off.
Arming the system without the Disarming the system movement sensor (‘Ferry’ Mode). To disarm the system from the armed state, simply To arm the alarm system but have both the movement and nudge sensors turned off; press the BLACK button within 10 seconds of arming the system with the GREY button. The indicators will flash twice to indicate the alarm has been armed and then indicators will flash three further times to confirm the movement sensors have been turned OFF.
Disarming the system after it has been triggered If the system has been triggered in your absence, a long audible tone will be heard when the alarm system is disarmed using the transmitter. The system includes a diagnostic mode, which allows you to identify the circuit that triggered the alarm system. After the long audible tone, the siren will beep and the LED will flash a number of times to indicate what triggered the alarm system.
‘Sleep’ mode All alarm systems use a small amount of current during operation and if the machine is to be left for an extended period with the alarm armed we recommend the use of a battery conditioner (such as the Datatool Smart Charger) to maintain the battery charge level. Level 3 Switching Point 9.
‘Panic/locator’ feature Entering ‘Winter’ mode Press and hold the BLACK button of the remote for 3 seconds with the ignition switched OFF to enter ‘panic/locator’ mode. From the disarmed state, press both buttons on the transmitter for 10 seconds with the ignition ON until you hear a beep, after the ignition is switched OFF the alarm unit will go into winter sleep mode. The unit will now be completely shut down leaving the machine immobilised and current usage below 250µA.
The PIN override system All Datatool® S4 Alarms have a PIN disarming feature. As a new product there is no PIN number programmed into the alarm, therefore we strongly recommend you enter your own 4 digit number as one of the first priorities. NOTE: If you do not enter a PIN number and lose or damage your remote control whilst out, you will not be able to disarm your alarm without accessing your second remote control.
Entering a new PIN code To initialise the PIN number the following procedure should be followed: Ignition ON Ignition OFF Ignition ON within 5 secs Ignition OFF Ignition ON LED on bike flashes rapidly for 3 seconds Press both buttons simultaneously within 10 seconds confirmation beep 3 secs ONE LONG TONE To set first digit To set second digit To set third digit To set fourth digit One beep & flash Ignition ON Ignition ON Ignition ON Ignition OFF four beeps & flash four beeps & flash six beeps & fl
Disarming the system with your PIN If the transmitter is lost or damaged, or the transmitter battery is flat, the system can be overridden by your chosen four digit PIN (Personal identification Number) used in conjunction with the ignition switch. The PIN procedure can only be used after a full alarm reaction has been initiated. The procedure is as follows: 1.
Adding extra remote controls All systems come with two remote controls preprogrammed into the alarm unit. Should your require extra or replacement remote controls they can be purchased through any Datatool® authorised dealer. You can have up to a maximum of 6 remote controls operating the system at any one time. To add a new remote control use the following sequence: a) Disarm the alarm system using either a transmitter or PIN code.
Customising the system 2. Press the BLACK button on the remote control to move backwards through the table to Switch 1 (one beep will be heard when the switch located). It is possible to change the operation of the security system to suit your requirements (see transmitter learn procedure for details on how to enter the software switches). 3. If 3 beeps are heard you have located Switch 3 which requires a special engineer’s code to enter.
Changing the passive arming settings (passive immobiliser or full passive arming) 1. Once you have located the passive arming selection (Switch 2), press BOTH buttons of the remote control to enter the switch. A triple beep will be heard confirming you have entered the switch. 3. Once you have set the alarm to your arming preference, press BOTH buttons of the remote control to accept the setting, a double beep will be heard and you will return to the software switch selection.
Special features (Dealer Selectable only) The following features can only be accessed by an APPROVED Datatool® dealer.

The factory default settings have been chosen to deliver the optimum performance from the system. No. 16 The factory default settings are in bold text.

Extending your security Extra siren/Pager output This system contains a supplementary output which becomes positive only when the siren is sounding. This wire is identified by a green and yellow tag on the end. The position of this wire is detailed on your certificate of installation. This output can be used to drive extra sirens, pagers or telephone diallers. Your dealer can give you advice regarding any extras you may wish to add along with costs.
