The S4 Installation Tester
Whilst it is possible to install the S4 series of alarms without the use of the test box, it is strongly recommended
it is used on EVERY installation in order to minimise the risk of mistakes being made.
The following sections on installation have been written assuming the tester is being used.
The harness on the test box is fully coloured according to the tag colours of the alarm harness
General instructions
This test box is designed to ensure the alarm harness has been installed correctly prior to the final connection
of the alarm ECU to the installed alarm harness.
It is designed as an aid to installation and it is recommended it is used each time an alarm is installed.
By following the instructions and using the tester throughout the installation each section can be checked before
proceeding to the next. By adopting this approach the installation will be quicker as any mistake made will be
pinpointed immediately it occurs, hence reducing expensive rectification time.
The order of installation has been chosen to make each step a logical move to completion of the fitting.
It is advised the appropriate tests are carried out at the end of each stage.
The in-built protection devices within the installation tester are designed to minimise potential damage to the
machine during installation. However they are not a guarantee and so care should still be exercised to ensure
each connection being made is correct.
Do not use this test equipment with any other type of security system.
The tester can also be used in the diagnosis of faults where a machine has been returned with a suspected
alarm related fault by testing the machine and alarm wiring harness for faults.
For the test box to work the machine’s battery must be fully charged and connected. The box itself does not
provide any power
This tester is not designed to test the alarm ECU itself. Any alarm ECU with a suspected fault should be
returned to Datatool (UK) Ltd for testing but only after contacting Datatool (UK) Ltd for a warranty returns
number.
Failure to use the testing unit may result in damage to the security system or motorcycle and could result in the
warranty being void.
All the wires of the S4 series of alarms are
BLACK
. The colours below relate to the colour of the tags towards the end of
the wires. For ease of explanation the wiring descriptions below are grouped as per the recommended order for
connection. The description applies to all S4 series units unless stated.
The test box harness is colour coded and each colour matches the same wire tag of the harness (i.e. The Red wire of the
test box is in the same PIN position as the Red tagged wire of the alarm harness).
Full explanations of the wire functions along with hints and tips are contained within the section
‘What the wires do
’.
A schematic diagram for the alarm system wiring is at the end of this training manual
