Specifying the system
There are 3 different models within the S4 range. All are Thatcham approved at varying levels. If the security system is
being installed to meet an insurance requirement, it is critical the correct alarm system is chosen. If a unit is installed
which is of a lower standard than required, the only solution is to de-install and fit the correct unit. Datatool (UK) Ltd
cannot be held responsible for incorrect choice of product for any installation.
If you are unsure of the unit required please refer to the Thatcham website www.thatcham.org
for the latest listings of
compliance or contact Datatool at info@datatool.co.uk
for assistance.
The table below sets out the main requirements when selecting the required unit, along with the Thatcham approval
number. It is possible to fit a unit of a higher standard than the minimum required without adverse effect on both the
operation of the unit and insurance premium.
Should you fit a S4 Red without the immobilisation wires connected (i.e. as an S4 Green spec), the Thatcham approval
number for the alarm MUST be quoted as per the S4 Green (i.e. TMCU-203/1104). If the number is quoted as a full cat 1
alarm it is being misrepresented and may void the customer’s insurance against theft. This applies to the Yamaha and
Honda model specific harnesses too.
All Thatcham listed systems (including model specific plug-in systems) MUST be fitted by an approved Datatool Dealer
only. Due to safety issues, Datatool (UK) Ltd reserve the right to withdraw supply to any dealer found to be supplying
Thatcham listed alarm/immobilisers without fitting.
If the customer does not require an insurance approved system the Datatool Compact 2 (Pt. No. 02000030) or Scooter
alarm (Pt. No. 02000033) can be installed instead. These units can be sold as supply only for the customer to fit
themselves.
Should the customer wish to have only an immobiliser installed, Datatool provide two Thatcham approved products:
The UNO suitable for machines of up to 125 ccs only (Pt. No. 02000020)
The DUO suitable for ALL machines (Pt.No. 02000010)
Both these immobiliser products are Thatcham approved and MUST be installed by an approved Datatool dealer only.

Customer decisions
An Alarm/Accessory selection sheet can be downloaded from the Dealer section of the Datatool website
www.datatool.co.uk
. This sheet is designed to assist in getting the combination of alarm, accessories and settings correct
for the customer when discussing the installation of their security system.
Due to the design of the S4 series it is possible to configure the system in several ways. It is wise to discuss the options
available with the customer when discussing the system. Some of the features may not be applicable to certain markets
due to local regulations (e.g. panic).
First select the type of security system the customer requires and then discuss any special requirements the customer
may have (e.g. LED position, extra siren, secondary trigger line, key conversion, full passive arming, etc).
The recorded information will reduce the chances of installation errors and assist the person fitting the system. If there is
any doubt regarding a technicality of installation, it is wise to discuss the proposal with the installing technician or
Datatool.
