Disarming the system with your PIN
If the transmitter is lost or damaged, or the
transmitter battery is flat, the system can be
overridden by your chosen four digit PIN (Personal
Identification Number) used in conjunction with the
ignition switch. The PIN procedure can only be used
after a full alarm reaction has been initiated.
The procedure is as follows: -
1. Turn the ignition ON to initiate an alarm reaction,
(this will be immediate if the alarm is armed, or
after 10 seconds if the immobiliser only is armed).
2. The alarm will sound for 30 seconds and the
indicators will flash for 30 seconds. Do not turn
the ignition OFF during the sounding phase.
3. When the alarm reaction stops, the motorcycle LED
will be on constantly for 5 seconds. During this
5 second period, turn the ignition OFF and ON.
4. The override procedure will start immediately,
indicated by rapid flashes of the LED for
3 seconds which then switch to a slow flash
combined with beeps as detailed within the PIN
entry section above.
5. Count the number of slow flashes from the LED or
beeps from the siren until it equals the first digit
of the PIN code and then turn the ignition OFF
and ON. Again if you have selected zero as your
first PIN number you must turn the ignition OFF
and ON immediately after the rapid flashes stop.
6. The system will then return to the rapid LED flash
sequence for 3 seconds and then go to slow
flashes/beeps. Count the number of flashes or
beeps from the siren until it equals the second
digit of the PIN code and then turn the ignition
OFF and ON.
7. Repeat the sequence to enter the 3rd and 4th
PIN numbers.
If entered correctly, the alarm will disarm and the
motorcycle indicators will flash once.
NOTE: As soon as the alarm system is disarmed, the
passive arming alarm (if selected) and passive
arming immobiliser periods will begin. Therefore, the
ignition must be switched ON within the 45 second
arming period, otherwise the alarm system (if
selected) and the immobiliser will passive arm.
Entering an incorrect PIN code will initiate a full
alarm reaction.
If an incorrect PIN code is entered three times the
unit cannot be disarmed by the PIN number for
2 minutes.
If you have done this, the LED will give double
flashes when the third incorrect code is entered
until the lock-out time has expired.

Questions and answers
Hi. I have a bike which got unplugged from the t/charger causing a flat battery. The battery for the bike is ok now but the alarm initially kept going off then set,or so it seems. The alarm is not showing arming or disarming now. My bike can be started and the flashy light on the fob is working. Pls help?
To troubleshoot the Datatool S4 alarm system that is not showing arming or disarming after a flat battery:
1. Check the Fuses – Ensure all motorcycle fuses, including the alarm fuse, are intact.
2. Reset the Alarm – Disconnect the alarm system and reconnect it to reset.
3. Check the Wiring – Ensure all alarm connections are secure and no wires are damaged.
4. Use a Battery Conditioner – If the battery was disconnected, using a Datatool battery conditioner can help maintain the charge.
5. Check Ignition Sense – If the alarm does not respond even with ignition ON, verify that the alarm unit is receiving ignition sense.
6. Verify Kill Switch Position – Ensure the kill switch is in the ON position.
7. Reinstall Indicators Properly – If indicators were changed, ensure correct wiring to avoid alarm malfunction.
If the issue persists, contact your dealer for further assistance.
