Installation Manual
Rhombus S Extreme
Dear customer,
Thank you for placing your trust in us by purchasing this pro-
duct. Please read these instructions carefully and completely
before deciding whether you would like to do the installation
yourself or have it done by a specialist.
Legal note: Rhombus S Extreme
All Kellermann Rhombus S Extreme are ECE-approved for mo-
torcycles as documented by the approval mark engraved into the
housing. This means that you may use the Kellermann products
instead of the original tail/brake lights without any entry in your
vehicle documents or presentation to a vehicle inspection organi-
zation. You do not need to carry any documentation with you.
This applies to all motorcycles licensed under EU law and
the corresponding lights.
ATTENTION! The warranty will not apply if the Rhombus S Extreme
has not been correctly installed or connected to the electrical supply
on your motorcycle. Do not carry out the installation unless you are
qualified to do so; otherwise, leave the installation and connection
work for your Spot/Spot Dark to a qualified repair shop. The warranty
does not apply to damage due to wrong connection or excess
voltage (such as due to a defective alternator regulator).
ATTENTION! Improper mechanical installation or orientation of
your Rhombus S Extreme lights may invalidate your motorcycle’s
roadworthiness and insurance protection, or even lead to accidents.
Before every usage of your vehicle, check whether the indicators are
correctly mounted and fully functional.
ATTENTION! Your Rhombus S Extreme lights may heat up during
use. Contact with bare skin or heat-sensitive objects may lead
to damage or injury.
CLEANING ADVICE! Your new Kellermann products are pre-
mium-quality products. In order to enjoy them long time and
maintain the warranty we recommend not to use any cleansers
with alkaline/acid and/or grinding substances or steel wool. We
also advice not to use steam cleaners.
INSTALLATION
ATTENTION!
Make sure that your motorcycle is standing firmly
before you start work, as a fall may lead to damage to the motorcycle
or injury to you or others.
Dismantle the original indicators. Mount the Rhombus S Extreme
in place of the original indicators, or drill a 5 mm diameter hole and
fasten the Rhombus S Extreme at 5 Nm with the nut supplied.
Use adapters, if necessary, available at
www.kellermann-online.
com
. Make sure that the area where the wires emerge is protected
from splash water. Mount the Rhombus S Extreme in such a way
that the beams run horizontally in your motorcycle’s direction of
travel.
Alignment is important to safety in traffic and essential to your
motorcycle’s roadworthiness, as a motorcycle with incorrectly
aligned lights is easy to overlook on the road.
Make sure that you keep the following measures in selecting your
fastening point:
Minimum distance between the illuminating surface of the
indicators and the headlamp:
20 mm
Cut the wires of the original indicators between the indicator and
the connector. By doing this the wiring loom stays untouched.
Connect your Rhombus S Extreme as follows:
INDICATOR FLASH RATE
The flashing frequency can change when converting the original
indicators. The installation of a load-independent flasher relay (e.g.
R 2) or a multifunctional assistance system (e.g. CR 4®) will solve
the problem. If the installation is not possible or not favored, then
parallel connected power resistors (i.LOAD) will be an option. Only
a few vehicles need special solutions, which we offer as i.SED, i.BOS
products.
ATTENTION! The power resistors will become very hot after long-
term usage of the indicator lights. Make sure that no components
are damaged by this heat.

or call us: +49 (0)241/93 80 8-0. We are happy to assist you.
ATTENTION! The application of the described measure may
interrupt correct functionality, in the case of a failure causing
one of the indicator lights to increase in flash frequency in
order to alert the driver of such a failure. Before each usage
of the vehicle, check the functionality of the indicator lights.
The Kellermann Rhombus S Extreme is equipped with the tried-
and-trusted Long Life Protection Guard® circuit, which ensures
extremely long life with LED technology. It is not necessary to
replace the illuminate and, due to the laws for device approval, it
is not allowed.

Connect the grey wire on the left-hand (or right-hand) Rhombus
S Extreme to the plus pole on the left-hand (or right-hand) indi-
cator.
Connect the black wire on the left-hand (or right-hand) Rhom-
bus S Extreme to the minus pole on the left-hand (or right-hand)
indicator.
To connect the wires of the indicator to the wires of the original
connector there are crimp connectors and shrink tubings included
in the delivery. First push one of the shrink-on tubes over one of
the cables you want to connect and remove five millimeter of
insulation on the end of each cable. Then push both bare ends into
a crimp connector and crimp it with an appropriate tool. Then pull
the shrink-on tube over the connection and heat it up equally until
it fits tight over the complete length.
This type of connection is technically permanent. To create a
non-permanent connection, we recommend Posilock wire con-
nectors (not included), which are available for purchase from our
website at
www.kellermann-online.com
.
Lay the cables in a way, that they are protected from splash water
and fasten them, e.g. by using zip ties. Now test the function of
the Rhombus S Extreme.
This completes the installation.
