The PIN override system
ALL Datatool S4 alarms have a PIN disarming feature. As a new product there is no PIN number programmed into the
alarm, therefore we strongly recommend the customer enters their chosen 4 digit number as one of their first priorities.
NOTE: If a PIN number is not entered and the remote controls lost or damaged whilst out riding, the system cannot be
disarmed without access to the second remote control.
Should ALL remote controls be lost or become damaged and the PIN number not entered or forgotten, the alarm system
will have to be returned to Datatool to be recoded. This is a chargeable service. Contact Datatool for the current cost.
The PIN can be over-written at any time provided you have access to both a coded-in remote control and ignition keys.
Should you need to change any setting of the alarm or introduce extra remote controls you will either have to know the
customer’s PIN number or over-write the existing PIN with a new one. We suggest for engineering purposes a PIN of
1111 is used, however due to security issues you must advise the customer to change this to their own PIN. This is
especially important if you have over-written their PIN to alter the system settings or add remote controls.
Entering a new PIN code
A quick guide is at annex 1 at the rear of this manual
To initialise the PIN number the following procedure should be followed: -
1.
Disarm the alarm system using the remote control. The LED will flash to signify how many remote controls are
coded into the alarm.
2.
Immediately after this, turn the Ignition on twice (i.e. ON, OFF and ON within 5 seconds)
3.
Press both buttons on the remote control within 10 seconds of turning the ignition back ON until the siren beeps
confirmation (3 seconds)
4.
Turn the ignition OFF and ON
5.
The LED fitted to the machine will flash rapidly for 3 seconds
6.
After 3 seconds the flashes will slow and a beep will be heard with each slow flash. Count the number of slow
flashes or beeps from the siren unit until it equals the first digit of the required PIN and turn the ignition OFF and
ON. If you wish to enter a Zero turn the ignition OFF and ON immediately the rapid flashes stop (i.e. before the
first slow flash/beep).
7.
The LED will again start to flash rapidly for 3 seconds and then start to flash slowly along with the beeps. Count
the number of flashes or beeps from the siren unit until it equals the second digit of the required PIN and turn
the ignition OFF and ON
8.
Repeat the process for the 3
rd
and 4
th
digits.
9.
Once you have entered 4 numbers, the siren will beep one long tone to indicate their entry. You then have to
confirm your selected PIN number by entering it again
10.
Turn the ignition back ON and repeat the above procedure from point 5 with the same PIN.
11.
Once re-entered, turning the ignition OFF completes the procedure. If the PIN is confirmed correctly, then the
alarm system will give 2 short tones. If the PIN is confirmed incorrectly, then the alarm system will give 3 long
tones.
Note:
a)
You can disarm the alarm system with the transmitter at any time.
b)
If the ignition is left off and no action is taken within 3 minutes, the alarm system reverts to normal mode.
c)
If the ignition is left on for more than 10 seconds, the alarm will revert to disarmed mode.
d)
The factory set default PIN number is 0000 but this PIN number is non operational and therefore cannot be
used.
Changing the PIN
The PIN can be changed at any time simply by repeating the PIN entry procedure. The original PIN will be deleted and
the new PIN will disarm the alarm.
