Several of the customer decisions may affect the final fitted price of the system. The sheet offers an opportunity to
itemise these so the customer is aware of their options and the costs involved. The actual charge for each service is not
controlled by Datatool (UK) Ltd and can be used by each dealer to act as a profit maker or sales incentive.
A very simple upgrade of the S4 system is by the addition of the Datatool S4 tagging upgrade kit (Pt. No. 02000127). This
kit is very specific and must only be sold to customers who are purchasing an S4 insurance approved system. It can be
sold either for self fit or for fit during alarm installation along with any installation charge. An alternative tagging kit, Gold
standard (Pt. No. 02000126) is available for customers who have not selected an S4 based security system. Both the
above kits are Thatcham recognised.
The key conversion is again a good sales incentive/additional profit point. Both keys can be converted if required. If the
ignition key contains an OE Transponder chip, the conversion is a little more involved and should be charged for
accordingly. Details of most conversions can be viewed on

Pre-installation checks
•
Never install an alarm to a machine you have not checked out electrically and heard running.
•
Always carry out a full visual inspection of the machine prior to installation, particularly if the machine is second
hand or has been brought in for an alarm to be installed. Any faults discovered should be reported to the owner
or their agent prior to carrying out the installation of the system.
A pre/post installation check sheet is
available as a printable sheet in the dealer section of the Datatool website.
•
The battery for the machine should be checked for full charge prior to installation.
If it is found to be low it is
advisable to place it on charge. The Datatool battery condition will bring the battery up to full charge safely in
the minimum time. Should the battery be in a poor state, it is strongly advised the customer is informed the
battery needs replacement.
