important to ensure the chosen 12v switched feed stays live when the
engine is cranking.
Should you choose to take your 12v switched feed from the same
circuit that is being used to immobilise the machine it is important
you ensure the switched feed is taken prior to the immobiliser cut. If
the switched feed is taken after the immobiliser cut (i.e. the 12v
switched feed is interrupted by the immobiliser) the alarm will not
commission and the bike will not start.
On certain machines with CANBUS electrical systems, there may be a
slight delay between the ignition being switched off and the chosen
switched feed dropping to zero volts. This is quite normal on this type
of machine and simply delays the arming period of the alarm by the
time it takes for the ignition control relay of the machine to reset. If
the machine has this feature most manufacturers recommend the
ignition is not turned back on until after the ignition has automatically
reset. With these types of electrical systems, turning the ignition OFF
and then immediately back ON may in extreme circumstances cause
error codes to be recorded on the machine. If you are unsure please
refer to the manufacturer’s manuals.
Indicator Connections (1x pink and 1 x pink/red tagged wires)
The Datatool Evo Plus alarm provides visual indication of arm/disarm
and alert by providing a 12v positive feed on both the pink and
pink/red tagged wires intended to be connected to the indicator
circuits. It is important on machines tted with LED indicators that the
voltage at which the indicators operate (i.e. the voltage the machine
provides to the indicators) is ascertained before making any
connection to the indicator circuits. Some motorcycles are now using
5v LED indicators which will be permanently damaged if connected to
the 12v feed provided by the alarm.
The alarm system should be connected to the left and right indicator
positive feeds. Do not connect to the negative wire of the indicator
and do not connect to the indicator relay output. On some machines
you may only be able to make the rear or front indicators operate
without the inclusion of extra diodes into the indicator outputs of the
alarm system. If you are unable to power the indicators without
