Page 3: Pre-Installation Checks
Configuring the Alarm to Suit the Customers’ Requirements Due to the design of the EvoPlus series it is possible to configure the system in several ways. It is advisable to discuss the options available with the customer prior to installing the system. Some of the features may not be applicable to certain markets due to local regulations (e.g. -
Page 4: Planning The Wiring
LED Mounting Methods & Position Where possible the position of the system LED should be agreed with the owner prior to installing. The LED is the effectively first line of protection and should be mounted in a highly visible position to ensure maximum deterrent effect. -
Page 5: Wiring Connections
Wiring Connections The Datatool Evo Plus alarm system is designed to work on 12 volt negative earth electrical systems only. Do not install this product to a positive earth machine. The main positive and negative connections are the most important wires of any alarm system as they supply the power to make most of the other functions work. - Page 6 Where possible remove a section of the original cable and re-join this wire via the white and white/green wire. These wires are non-directional so it doesn’t matter which wire of the alarm is connected to which end of the cut wire. Important notice: On CANBUS based machines it is recommended that the only circuit cut is the wire between the kill switch and the ECU.
- Page 7 The 12 volt Ignition Switched Supply (brown tagged wire) This wire stops the alarm from arming when the ignition is turned ON. It is important the wire remains positive when all the machines controls are operated. Should the power fall away from this wire it is possible the engine may cut out. For this reason we advise you connect to an ignition switched positive supply which is run critical.
- Page 8 • Test the starter button to see if the machine cranks (always check the machine is in neutral and any interlock systems on the machine are set to the run position, e.g. kill switch, clutch, side stand, etc.). • If during these tests any extra lights or instruments operate, the alarm fuse blows or the machine cranks over, a diode will have to be inserted in line with the input or output of the indicator relay.
- Page 9 When correctly set; the switch should activate the alarm before the panel is removed by 50mm. The position of the switch/magnet should be adjusted accordingly to achieve maximum protection but to avoid false alerts. If more than one area is to be protected, extra magnets and switches are available through Datatool, this is a chargeable extra.
- Page 10 12 Pin Connector (front view) Connector harness fits directly to the mating alarm ECU harness, above diagram shows connector view only (looking at front Yellow connector support panel) all wiring locations are at rear of this connector. NOTE: All cables between the alarm and alarm connector are black; except for the the led harness the colour description in the table below recognises the coloured ID tags of the mating harness.
