Using the installation tester.
The following section covers the basic actions to be carried out and the test to be conducted after the connections have
been made.
It describes the result you should get.
If you don’t get this result it then describes the probable cause and how to identify/cure the ‘fault’.
In certain cases it carries on to describe further testing you should carry out to finally confirm the connection you have
made is correct or further actions you may need to do to deal with secondary issues.
1. Main positive and negative connections (2 Black and 1 Red tagged wires)(Only 1 black wire on the S4 Green)
Connect the Red tagged wire to a permanent 12 volt positive supply (not directly to the battery) via a 10 amp rated fuse
(either OE or via the fuse supplied in the kit).
Connect the 2 Main black tagged wires to 2 independent earth points (only 1 wire on the S4 Green).
On the S4 Red and Yellow units
BOTH
LEDs Neg 1 and Neg 2 will be lit if correctly connected.
On the S4 Green only Neg 2 will be lit. This product only requires a single earth due to no immobilisation.
On the S4 Red and Yellow if only 1 LED is lit, check the connections of both earth wires and correct the connection.
If no LED’s are Lit check:
•
The test box is correctly connected to the harness
•
The fuse supplying the Red tagged wire is not blown
•
The main fuse of the machine is not blown
•
The battery of the machine is connected correctly and charged
•
The machine’s main earth wire is correctly connected
•
The earths used for the alarm are true earths using suitable test equipment
A further test should now be carried out. Turn on the ignition whilst watching the LED’s on the test box. They should
remain lit.
Next try all the electrical circuits on the machine whilst watching the LED’s on the test box. Again the LED’s should
remain lit.
If during these tests, one or both of the LED’s go out or any fuse blows on the machine or alarm supply, it is likely one or
both of the earth wires chosen for the alarm are not correct. Test these wires again and correct the connections.
2. The Starter cut (2 x Yellow tagged wires) (S4 Red only)
Cut the wire controlling the starter solenoid and rejoin it via the 2 Yellow tagged wires
Once connected, turn on the ignition and try to start the machine via the electric start (remember any interlocks the
machine may have e.g. Clutch, Side stand, Neutral, Brake, etc). The machine should crank over normally. If it does not
recheck:
•
All the connections, including the alarm plug,
•
All the machine’s fuses.
•
Any possible further faults with the machine (e.g. faulty interlock switch/relay, starter button, etc).
•
The test box itself (this should be checked by temporarily bridging the circuit directly)
Correct any fault found.
Now repeat the test but this time, press the STARTER CUT switch on the test box. The machine should not crank.
If it does, you have chosen the wrong wire to immobilise the starter with. Re-make the wire you have used and then find
the correct wire to immobilise the starter with and connect to this instead.
N.B.
The Starter cut button will not work if there is no power to the test box, always check the LEDs, Neg
1and Neg 2 are lit
