FAQ

 

The  SBT-4K  can  be  somewhat  of  a  complex  device.  It  has  many  functions  and  features.  But  very  easy  to  use  once 
understood. It is strongly recommended that you read this manual before installation and/or ordering. Understanding its 
simplicity is the beauty of it. Installation is simple. Designed to be fully Plug and Play. You do not need to visit your local 
dealership to make the installation. VIZI-TEC LLC cannot and will not be responsible for charges incurred if installed at 
dealership. 

 

 

Why isn’t the SBT-4K modulating? 
Firstly you must remember that the SBT-4K has an algorithm (with  Grace_Period). The number of blinks (modulation) and 
frequency will be determined by the profile attributes selected. If the Grace Period has been set to anything thing other then 
0 seconds as in the case of factory default, the unit will NOT FLASH EACH AND EVERY TIME you push the brakes. See page 6 
for more details on the attribute of the Grace Period. 

Troubleshoot: 
1)

 

Turn on the car power. No need to start the engine. (Let’s assume the Grace_Period is set to 6 seconds.) 
a)

 

Do not touch any brakes... 

2)

 

Wait about 10 seconds. 

3)

 

Press and hold the brakes. The 3

rd

 brake like will modulate. The longer you don’t use your brakes the more it will flash 

the next time you use it. 
 

 

 

Why is it only flashing about 3 times? 
The time period between usage of the brakes will determine the length of the modulation burst. The longer the brakes are 
not used. The more modulation the output will be the next time around. See pg.16 for attribute settings. 
 
 

 

I don’t see a kit for my car/truck? How do I get one made? 
Send us an email at [email protected] and let us know the year/model of your bike. If the bike model is 5 years or newer 
we’ll work with you to make a custom kit for half the price. 
 
 

 

Cold Start? 
The SBT-4K will power up with the algorithm loaded to max (T6).
