Arming the system without the
movement sensor ('Ferry' Mode).
To arm the alarm system but have both the
movement and nudge sensors turned off; press the
BLACK button within 10 seconds of arming the
system with the GREY button.
The indicators will flash twice to indicate the alarm
has been armed and then indicators will flash three
further times to confirm the movement sensors have
been turned OFF.
The system will still have immobilised the machine
(except with S4 Green model) and the alarm will
react if the machine is hot-wired, the supply to the
alarm is tampered with or one of the trigger switches
is activated.
If you press the BLACK button after more than 10
seconds of arming the alarm nothing will happen and
the alarm will still remain fully armed with the
movement sensors ON.
This process has to be carried out EVERY time you
wish the alarm to be in 'Ferry' mode.
NOTE: If you have selected full passive arming and
wish to have the alarm in 'Ferry' mode you must arm
the alarm as stated above. The alarm cannot be put
into 'Ferry' mode after it has been 'PASSIVE' armed.

Disarming the system

To disarm the system from the armed state, simply
press the GREY button on the remote control.
The unit will then flash the indicators once to indicate
it has been disarmed.
Turn the ignition on within 45 seconds or the
system will automatically re-arm in the same state
as it was armed prior to disarming.
NOTE: Each time the system is disarmed the LED will
flash to signify the total number of remote controls,
including PIR's, coded into the system. This ensures
you will always know you are in possession of all
remote controls capable of operating your system.
If you find there are extra, unknown remote controls
coded into your alarm, your dealer can exclude these
from the unit. Your dealer may levy a small charge at
their own discretion for this service.
Press to disarm
Flash once, LED flash

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.
