Troubleshooting

The Acumen Tempest CAT1 is manufactured using automotive
specification parts, including waterproof connectors, and is fully
encapsulated to provide protection against water and vibration. The
system relies on various signals to make it function correctly and any
one of these signals may cause false reactions.
False alarms; Enter diagnostic mode to see why the alarm has
triggered.
2 beeps. No permanent power such as a blown alarm fuse - Replace. If
it blows again contact the installing dealer.
3 beeps. The unit has detected an ‘ignition on’ signal.
4 beeps. The movement or nudge sensor has reacted. Enter
Convenience Mode (Section 2) to remove this function until the problem
is sorted.
5 beeps. Anti tamper switch - ensure it is mounted correctly.
Starter Motor Fails to function
Don’t forget! The motorcycle might have a problem!
1. Ensure the ‘kill’ switch is on, the transmission is in neutral and/or
the clutch is disengaged.
2. Check the motorcycle battery is in good condition
3. Check the Tempest CAT1 system fuse. If the system cannot ‘see’ the
motorcycle battery it will not let the motorcycle start.
A quick check for this is to arm and disarm the alarm If the
indicators on the motorcycle flash, then the alarm system has
permanent power. If they do not flash, the alarm does not have
permanent power and will not allow the motorcycle to start.
4. Check the Tempest CAT1 system can obtain service mode (section
3) If the Tempest CAT1 cannot obtain Service mode, it means the
system cannot ‘see’ the motorcycle ignition. In this event the
system will not let the motorcycle start. Bear in mind the problem
may be with the motorcycle - check the motorcycle fuses.
System cannot be armed or disarmed by the remote transmitter
1. Check the ignition switch is in the off position
2. Check the system fuse
3. Check you are within normal operating range of the motorcycle
(10 metres max)
4. Check the condition of the transmitter battery
5. The transmitter can be affected by other radio sources. This
problem can usually be overcome by placing the transmitter as
close as possible to the alarm system. Alternatively, you can move
the motorcycle a distance which will reduce the affect of the
interference. In this event you can disarm the system by using
the PIN.
