The DENALI CANsmart™ Controller is a sophisticated electronic device designed to integrate and control up to four motorcycle accessories, offering plug-n-play installation and extensive customization options. It is compatible with specific BMW models, including the K1600 Series, S1000XR, F850GS & GSA, and F750GS. The device aims to simplify accessory installation by eliminating the need for additional relays and complex wiring harnesses, while providing advanced control directly from the motorcycle's existing controls or dedicated software.
The core function of the CANsmart™ Controller is to act as an intelligent hub for motorcycle accessories. It connects to the motorcycle's CAN bus system, allowing for seamless communication and control. The device features four independent circuits, each pre-programmed for specific accessory types in its default configuration: two circuits for DENALI 2.0 lights, one for a SoundBomb horn, and one for a B6 auxiliary brake light. However, its versatility is a key feature, as the Circuit Function Selector in the CANsmart™ software allows users to reassign any accessory to any of the four circuits, making it adaptable to a wide range of needs.
The two auxiliary light circuits enable independent adjustment of high and low beam brightness, controllable directly from the vehicle's "WonderWheel" or other original switches. These circuits also support advanced lighting features such as "flash to pass" (strobing auxiliary lights when the high beam switch is pulsed), "strobe when horn active" (strobing auxiliary lights when the horn is sounded), "off when turn signal active" (canceling lights on the corresponding side when a turn signal is engaged), "inverse flashing when hazards active," and "modulation" for enhanced visibility. For two-wire auxiliary LED lights, a "Three-Wire Dimming Mode" can be disabled to ensure proper dimming operation.
The auxiliary brake light circuit transforms a simple two-wire brake light into a "smart brake light." This includes functionality such as a running light, multiple flash patterns, and deceleration-activated braking. Users can customize settings like "Brake Flashing Travel Speed" and "Deceleration activated braking sensitivity" through the software.
The auxiliary horn circuit simplifies the addition of an auxiliary horn, eliminating the need for a separate relay and dedicated wiring harness. This circuit provides a direct connection for the SoundBomb horn, with specific wiring instructions for positive and negative terminals.
An additional "Accessory/Ignition Supply" circuit provides switched 12V power to any accessory when the motorcycle's ignition is turned on. This circuit also features a configurable time-out, allowing the accessory to remain powered for a set duration (0-60 seconds) after the ignition is turned off, while the 3rd "data" wire turns off instantly with ignition.
Furthermore, the CANsmart™ Controller supports "Turn Signals" and "Run/Brake/Turn Light" functions, enabling the addition of auxiliary turn signals or combined run/brake/turn signals with flash patterns without tapping into the bike's factory harness. A "Heated Gear" circuit is also available, allowing heated gear to work in conjunction with the motorcycle's factory heated grip settings, with adjustable temperature for each stage.
The CANsmart™ Controller is designed for ease of use, both in installation and daily operation. Installation: The device offers plug-n-play installation, connecting in-line with the motorcycle's DWA (Anti-Theft Alarm) unit or directly to the DWA connector for bikes without an alarm. Wiring accessories involves plugging male 3-pin or 2-pin connectors into the corresponding circuits on the CANsmart™ Controller. Routing harnesses requires securing them to the vehicle's frame with included zip ties, avoiding moving components like radiator fan blades or suspension. Connecting to the battery involves ring terminals, with the fuse holder placed in an easily accessible location. Software Control: The CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software, available for Windows and Mac, is central to customizing the device. It allows users to:
The CANsmart™ Controller includes several features to aid in maintenance and troubleshooting: Diagnostics Window: Accessible from the main menu of the software, this window provides an overall view of the system's power consumption, battery/CAN bus voltage, and device temperature.
By combining robust functionality with intuitive control and comprehensive diagnostic tools, the DENALI CANsmart™ Controller offers a powerful and user-friendly solution for integrating and managing motorcycle accessories.
