Disarming the system after it has been triggered

If the system has been triggered in your absence,
a long audible tone will be heard when the alarm
system is disarmed using the transmitter.
The system includes a diagnostic mode, which allows
you to identify the circuit that triggered the alarm
system.
After the long audible tone, the siren will beep and
the LED will flash a number of times to indicate what
triggered the alarm system.

Automatic re-arming

To ensure the machine remains covered at the level
chosen the last time you armed it, when the system
is disarmed it automatically starts a 45 second
countdown after which the system will automatically
re-arm at the SAME level as it was last armed in
(i.e. passive immobiliser, full alarm or full alarm
minus movement sensors).
If the ignition is turned or one of the trigger
switches is operated (e.g. seat removed if the switch
is fitted to it) within the 45 second countdown period,
the unit will passively immobilise.
NOTE: If full passive arming has been selected and
the ignition is turned ON/OFF the alarm will
re-arm fully.
If one of the trigger switches has been operated the
alarm will only immobilise.

Silent arming/disarming

If you have asked your dealer to select the
arm/disarm tones you can still arm or disarm the
system without the tones on a one-off basis.
To arm/disarm silently, simply press the BLACK
button of the remote control followed by the GREY
button. The system will arm or disarm for this one
operation and only flash the indicators.
NOTE: The inclusion of the arm and disarm indication
beeps is strictly forbidden in all EU countries.

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.
