BMW R 1200 RT-P 2015 Supplementary Instructions Manual page 7

Fuses and Circuits:
The R 1200 RT-P main motorcycle
charging circuit is protected by a 50A
fuse link. Two other fuses blocks
under the solo seat address main sub-
circuits:
Block A
15A (slot 1) Instrument, ignition lock,
diagnostic socket, radio box release.
7.5A (slot 2) Multifunction switch left,
TPM, audio system.
Block B
15A (slot 1) Police radio circuit
---- (slot 2) Insert and remove fuse when ignition is ON
(prior to starting) once symbol changes from flashing to
steady to interrupt the ABS system for rodeo riding.
System resets after ignition cycle. See bulletin.
All remaining motorcycle systems are managed by the motorcycle General Module
(GM), which contains electronic switches to protect the motorcycle circuits from an
overload / dead short. No fuses are utilized in the branch motorcycle circuits – the
GM acts like a "self-resetting circuit breaker" to protect each circuit from overload /
short circuit.
Auxiliary Battery Circuits:
The auxiliary battery provides power to all authority equipment via General Module
Special Function (GMSF). The GMSF controls auxiliary battery charge rate,
monitors current consumption as well as controlling all circuit outputs. The GMSF
will shut-down power to authority equipment if the auxiliary battery drops below 8.5
volts, protecting the battery from total discharge damage. The overall system
voltage can be seen on the dashboard by selecting "Voltage" from the information
display menu. Never connect accessories directly to the auxiliary battery!
Connection circuits are
provided for radio, auxiliary
rear LED warning lights,
helmet headset interface,
radar connection, fairing
speakers, lighter socket,
and three accessory
connection plugs for
computers, thermal printers,
video systems, etc. All
connections must be
made using the plugs
provided – never connect
directly to the auxiliary
battery or the GMSF power control / monitoring capability will be defeated.
Cruise Lights:
BMW provides Cruise Lights as standard equipment. The Cruise Light feature
illuminates the forward facing and rear facing LED emergency lights at 10% power,
providing less distracting illumination for marking / parking lights. The Cruise Light
feature operates with ignition "ON". Press the button up to turn the
Cruise Lights "ON". Press the button up again to turn them "OFF".
When Cruise Lights are "ON", an amber LED indicator light will be
illuminated. If the ignition is turned-off with cruise lights on, ignition will
need to be "ON" to deactivate the cruise lights. After 30 minutes with
ignition "OFF", the cruise lights will automatically turn off.
Lights "OFF" Switch:
Press the button down to turn all lights "OFF" or activate all lights again during
operation. This switch controls headlight and taillight, but not brake light (dashboard
lights dim when activated). A green LED indicator notifies the rider that the lights are
"OFF". Note that the lights will momentarily turn-off when the starter is engaged
(load shedding). This function will reset to "ON" after the ignition is cycled off.
Note: When brake is applied, all brake lights and ID lights are illuminated.
Pace Lock
Pressing the button up locks the digital electronic police speedometer and displays
the locked value on the LCD display. This locked speed value will be held through
each ignition session. The digital electronic police speedometer is accurate within
±2 mph throughout the speed range of the motorcycle. This accuracy
is ensured provided that the motor is fitted with the approved Michelin
tires and inflated to the recommended pressure as there are no wear
parts in the speed reading system (fully digital). Speed variation
between worn and new tires is approximately .5 miles per hour.
Radio Speaker Mute
Pressing the button down will activate a relay that will mute the dashboard right hand
radio speaker. The blue LED indicator light will indicate the speaker is muted.
Pressing the button down again or turning-off the motorcycle will disengage this
function and return the speaker to "ON".
Rear Emergency Flasher Switch:
Pressing switch up will activate the rear emergency flashers (rear turn signals flash
simultaneously along with optional rear side LED turn signals). This function
operates with ignition "ON". When operated, the front turn signals will
still function normally to signal your intentions. Ignition must be "ON" to
turn function off. Note LED indicator will not light when running with
ignition off.
Gun Lock Release: (unmarked)
The momentary down side of the rear flasher switch is the gun lock
release. Pressing the button down (with ignition "ON") will energize the pre-wired
lead connected to the gun lock. The GMSF provides a 30 second hold (no gun lock
timer required) on this circuit after pressing the button to enable the officer to
dismount the motor and remove the weapon from the rear prior to the lock re-
engaging.
