Customising the system

Section 16. PIN Override
If you cannot disarm the system from the
remote transmitter - see troubleshooting, - you
will be able to disarm the system by using the
Personal Identification Number (PIN).
The Tempest CAT1 system leaves the factory
with no PIN override in its memory. We feel it is
easier for you, the rider, to enter a number
which means something to you and can easily
be remembered. You should never need to use
the PIN override, but if you do have to use it
then this system just might make life a bit
easier!
To enter a new PIN you will need access to the
system fuse (details of where the fuse is
positioned should be on the Certificate of
Installation. Acumen will not know where the
fuse is!). and you will have to be able to enter
service mode (see section 3)
The Tempest CAT1 has the ability to accept
different levels of security of the PIN - 4, 5 or 6
digits.
4 Digits will give 6561 combinations
5 Digits will give 59049 combinations, and
6 Digits will give 531441 combinations.
TO ENTER THE INITIAL PIN
Each step in this process will be confirmed by
beeps or tones:
1. Disarm the system
2. Remove system fuse
(1 beep will confirm this)
3. Switch motorcycle ignition on. (1 beep)
4. Enter service mode (1 beep - 2 to 3 seconds)
5. Press ‘key’ and ‘P’ buttons together on the
transmitter (1 beep)
6. Replace system fuse (1 beep)
7. Switch ignition off (1 beep )
8. Press ‘key’ and ‘P’ buttons together on the
transmitter (2 beeps)
IF YOU GET IT WRONG
Should you get it wrong or distracted at any
point in this process, and you want to start the
process again, simply disarm the alarm with
the transmitter.
•
If the ignition is left OFF for more than 2
minutes and no action is taken, the system
will revert to Service Mode.
•
If the ignition is left ON for more than 10
seconds and no action is taken, the system
will revert to Service Mode.
You can now enter the pin of your
choice; say 4 digits - 1234
Ignition on, count 1 beep, ignition off
Ignition on, count 2 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 3 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 4 beeps, ignition off
Press the ‘P’ button on the transmitter.
You will now get one long tone, and you will
need to confirm the PIN
Ignition on, count 1 beep, ignition off
Ignition on, count 2 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 3 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 4 beeps, ignition off
You will get 2 long tones to confirm the PIN has
been entered successfully.
(3 short tones means the first and second entry
of the PIN did not match - try again!)
The above example was for a PIN of 4 digits. If
you want 5 or 6 digits, then you need to choose
5 or 6 numbers before you press the ‘P’ button
on the transmitter, and again when you
confirm the PIN.
