Operating the alarm system
This section explains fully how the alarm system
works. For a more basic explanation refer to the
credit card sized instructions (S4 Quick Reference)
supplied. We advise you to carry the quick reference
card with you for roadside guidance.
Arming the system
Passive arming
Unless the unit has been placed in 'winter' mode, the
system will always passive arm 45 seconds after
the ignition is turned OFF.
When the ignition is turned OFF the LED will light
continuously before emitting a set of increasing rate
beeps in the last 5 seconds.
The LED changes to flashing to indicate the system is
activated.
When set to the factory default the system passively
arms the immobiliser and ignition trigger only.
If you wish to make the alarm fully arm passively you
can do this via the software switches covered within
the customisation section of this manual.

Fully arming the alarm system
To fully arm the alarm system to give movement,
nudge, trigger switch and battery back-up coverage,
press the GREY button on the remote control within
45 seconds of turning the ignition off. The
indicators will flash twice. (The S4 Yellow does not
have battery back-up).
NOTE: It is possible for your dealer to add
Arm/Disarm beeps to the system via the
customisation software switches so the system gives
audible signals also when it is armed/disarmed.
NOTE: The inclusion of arm and disarm indication
beeps is strictly forbidden in all EU countries.
The LED will start to flash 5 seconds after the alarm
is armed and will be fully active after 20 seconds.
If you have changed the default settings within the
software section and selected FULL passive arming
of both the alarm and immobiliser, the alarm will
automatically arm along with the immobiliser (except
on the S4 Green model) 45 seconds after turning off
the ignition.
You can still arm it instantly by pressing the GREY
button of the remote within the first 45 seconds after
turning off the ignition.
If the system has passively armed as an
immobiliser and you wish to arm it fully, simply
press the GREY button TWICE. The first press
disarms the system, the second arms it fully.
Press to arm
2 flashes,
LED flashes 5 seconds after
arming. System is fully
armed after 20 seconds.

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.
