The provided manual describes the HAWK X40/50 v5 Intelligent Alarm Immobiliser, a security system designed for motorcycles. It offers comprehensive protection against theft and unauthorized use, with options for advanced features like remote starting and additional sensors.

Function Description

The HAWK X40/50 v5 is a motorcycle alarm and immobilizer system. Its primary functions include:

Alarm System: Detects unauthorized access or tampering and alerts the user via a siren and potentially other indicators.
Immobilizer: Prevents the engine from starting without proper authorization, making it difficult for thieves to hotwire the motorcycle.
Remote Control: Allows the user to arm/disarm the alarm and activate other features remotely using two provided transmitters.
Optional Remote Start: Enables starting the motorcycle engine remotely (applicable to X50 model).
Optional Sensors: Supports additional security layers such as a tilt sensor and a microwave sensor for enhanced detection (applicable to X50 model).
Optional GPS/Battery Backup Siren: Provides continuous alarm functionality even if the main power supply is cut (applicable to X50 model).

Important Technical Specifications

While the manual doesn't list a dedicated "technical specifications" section with precise values like current draw or operating temperature, it provides crucial wiring and fuse information:

Power Supply: Requires a constant positive (+) 12V supply from the battery (RED wire, protected by a 10A fuse).
Ignition Input: Connects to a wire that provides (+) 12V when the ignition key is ON and 0V when OFF (BLACK/RED wire).
Ground Connections: Two GREEN wires are provided for negative (-) connections: one to the battery negative terminal and another to the chassis ground (bare metal of the vehicle).
Indicator Outputs: ORANGE wire for the left indicator positive (+) output and LIGHT BLUE wire for the right indicator positive (+) output. Both are protected by 7.5A fuses.
Immobilizer Circuits: Three cables (BLACK/WHITE, WHITE/BLACK, GREY) are used for engine immobilisation. The manual details different connection methods for various motorcycle types (ignition switch, fuel pump, starter switch) and engine configurations (four-stroke vs. two-stroke).
Remote Start Output: YELLOW/RED wire for the remote starter (+) switch.
Optional Sensor Input: BLUE/WHITE wire for negative input sensors like tilt or microwave sensors (X50 model).
Siren Connection: Connects via a large 2-pin connector.
LED Indicator Connection: Connects via a small 2-pin connector.
Fuse Ratings:
- Main power (RED wire): 10A fuse.
- Indicator outputs (ORANGE, LIGHT BLUE wires): 7.5A fuses each.
- Immobilizer circuit: 10A fuse (for two-stroke engines, not supplied for four-stroke).

Usage Features

The manual primarily focuses on installation, but the wiring diagrams and instructions imply several usage features:

Remote Arming/Disarming: Controlled by the two remote transmitters.
Visual Alarm Indication: An LED indicator provides visual feedback on the alarm's status.
Audible Alarm: A siren sounds when the alarm is triggered.
Engine Immobilisation: Prevents the engine from starting when the alarm is armed.
Remote Engine Start (Optional): Allows starting the engine remotely (X50 model).
Enhanced Sensor Protection (Optional):
- Tilt Sensor: Detects changes in the motorcycle's angle (e.g., if it's being lifted or tipped).
- Microwave Sensor: Creates a protective field around the motorcycle, detecting proximity or movement within the field.
Battery Backup Siren (Optional): Ensures the siren continues to function even if the main battery is disconnected, with a key-operated switch for servicing.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides limited information on ongoing maintenance, but some points can be inferred:

Professional Installation: The manufacturer strongly recommends installation by a certified and trained technician to ensure proper operation and maintain warranty validity. This suggests that complex troubleshooting or repairs should be handled by professionals.
Fuse Replacement: The system uses standard automotive fuses (10A and 7.5A) which are user-replaceable if they blow, indicating a potential issue or overload.
Sensor Adjustment: The optional tilt and microwave sensors have sensitivity trimmers that can be adjusted to prevent false alarms, requiring occasional fine-tuning based on the environment.
Battery Backup Siren Key: The optional battery backup siren includes a key to switch it off for servicing the motorcycle battery, which is a practical maintenance feature.
Wiring Integrity: The emphasis on proper wiring practices, such as soldering joints and securing wires, implies that maintaining the integrity of the electrical connections is crucial for the system's long-term reliability.
Environmental Protection: The control unit should be located in a protected environment, away from extreme heat, direct elements, and water ingress, to ensure its longevity. The siren should also be mounted to avoid water pooling.
