Customising the system
5
Section 4. Diagnostic Mode
Diagnostic Mode will let the system tell you why it has been reacting. If
you experience alarms, it helps to know why. The Tempest CAT1 system
will tell you. Entering Diagnostic Mode is the same as entering Service
Mode.
Upon entering this mode, the system will give you a series of beeps.
Compare the number of beeps with the chart below, and that is the
reason the alarm had it’s last trigger. In diagnostic mode, the system
will give these series of beeps once every 15 seconds for 2 minutes,
and then automatically revert to service mode.
2 beeps
The system cannot ‘see’ a motorcycle battery. Check the alarm
fuse, main power connection or earth connections.
3 beeps
The system has detected the ‘ignition on’ signal which may a simple
mistake or may be a forced ignition lock.
4 beeps
The system has detected movement/nudge. It may be a windy day!
Maybe you may not want to park your motorcycle there tomorrow.
5 beeps
The anti-tamper switch has changed it’s state.
Section 5. Different siren tones
Having an individual siren tone helps you, the user, to be
more aware if it’s your alarm that is making that noise! TheTempest
CAT1 has 14 different siren tones, and you can select which one you
would like.
Some tones will penetrate some materials, such as seat foam, easier
than others. Experiment with what suits you. In the ‘selection’ time the
siren is subdued so you don’t upset your neighbours; Use discretion at
what time of day you do this.
To select your own tone;
A. Place the system in Service mode (see section 3) and leave
ignition on
B. Hold the ‘P’ button until a siren tone is heard
C. Press the ‘P’ button - each press will result in a different tone.
D. Press ‘key’ button to confirm selection.
E. You are then free to exit service mode.
Section 6. Customising Audible warning of Arm/Disarm
You may not want the audible beep to confirm arming and dis-arming.
This feature can be toggled in and out as desired.
With the ignition off, system armed or disarmed, press all three buttons
of the remote transmitter together and hold for approx 5 seconds until
indicators flash quickly.
7 flashes indicates the system is in silent mode
14 flashes indicates the system is in audible mode.
