Section 11. Remote Transmitter battery low warning.
Whenever the remote transmitter is used, the alarm monitors the state
of the transmitter’s batteries. When the batteries start to become
discharged, the Tempest CAT1 system will tell you with a burst of 6
rapid beeps,
2 series of beeps on arming, 1 series of beeps on disarming.
When this happens you still have between 3-6 month to install new
batteries. We recommend you don’t use the torch function though. (see
section 12)
Section 12. Torch feature
The remote transmitter has a torch built into it. This is extremely useful
to help you find the ignition lock on those dark wintry mornings and
evenings. Press the ‘torch’ button to activate the torch. Excessive use
of the torch will discharge the transmitter batteries. However, this
should not cause a problem because
A) There is an automatic shut-off of the torch set at 30 seconds. If you
need the torch function for longer than this, release the button and
start again.
B) Even if the batteries become so discharged they can no longer
work the torch, the radio (arm/disarm) part of the transmitter
continues to function.
C) The Tempest CAT1 system will tell you if the transmitter batteries
are becoming discharged (section 11)
D) If all else fails you can still use the PIN override to start your
motorcycle.
Section 13. Key Conversion
On registering the alarm as
first or subsequent owner you
will receive a key blank. This
will be suitable for your
motorcycle which can be cut
locally to match your original
key.
Section 14. Trigger warning
If the alarm has triggered while it has been protecting your motorcycle,
it will tell when you disarm the system. The system will give one long
beep instead of one quick beep. You can then enter diagnostic mode
(Section 4) and the alarm will tell you why it has been triggered.
Section 15. Sleep Mode
The Acumen Tempest CAT1 incorporates an intelligent sleep mode to
protect the motorcycle battery. If you use an intelligent float charger,
such as one from the Acumen range, the unit will not go into sleep.
If the unit is in sleep, and you connect a charger, the unit will come out
of sleep mode. Sleep mode is determined by a combination of battery
state and time. If the unit is in sleep (determined by very slow flash rate
of the system LED) you can disarm by;
Holding down the ‘key’ button and then switch on the motorcycle
ignition.
