Customising the system
Section 1. Full Mode
Section 3. Service Mode
The unit will arm, in it's default setting, 50 seconds after the ignition is
turned off and will only detect an ignition on signal. To passively arm
the system automatically with all functions enabled simply fix the
Yellow wire from the alarm to a suitable earth (ground) point.
There may be times when you really don’t want the
system on the motorcycle. Such as when cleaning, or performing
service work. The CAT21 has a service mode which effectively makes
the CAT21 system transparent.
A. If the movement sensor is active, the system LED will flash once
every second.
To enter Service Mode, disarm the system, switch on the motorcycle
ignition. With the ignition on press and hold the key button until the
system gives a ‘beep’ (two to three seconds). This denotes the system
has entered service mode.
B. If the system is in Convenience Mode (see section 2), the LED will
flash once every two seconds.
C. If you manually arm the CAT21 system within the 50 seconds auto
arm time, by pressing the ‘key’ button, the system will arm with the
movement sensing active.
In Service Mode, the alarm will beep once every 60 seconds. (If you
get more than one beep see section 4), and the LED remain on and will
not flash.
If the alarm is left in Service Mode for over 24 hours, the beep will be
switched off. Remember in Service Mode your motorcycle is totally
unprotected - the LED will serve as a reminder!
Section 2. Convenience Mode
During day to day use of the motorcycle there are times when full
passive arming with movement sensing can be inconvenient e.g. filling
with fuel or parking momentarily while opening a garage door.
If you are storing your motorcycle, and need to move the motorcycle
now and then, we suggest you arm the system and place it into Full
Mode.
A. Where the system is installed to arm all sensors automatically
when the ignition is switched off, (i.e. yellow wire permanently
grounded) convenience mode can be selected by pressing ‘P’ on
the key fob transmitter after the system arms. (Passive arming
takes place 50 seconds after switching off the ignition.
B. To avoid waiting for the system to arm automatically press the ‘key’
button once to manually arm the system before the 50 seconds
elapses and then the ‘P’ button to enter Convenience Mode.)

Customising the system
Section 4. Diagnostic Mode
Section 5. Different siren tones
Diagnostic Mode will let the system tell you why it has been reacting.
If you experience alarms, it helps to know why. The CAT21 system will
tell you. Entering Diagnostic Mode is the same as entering Service
Mode.
Having an individual siren tone helps you, the rider, to be
more aware if it’s your alarm that is making that noise! The CAT21 has
14 different siren tones, and you can select which one you would like.
Some tones will penetrate some materials, such as seat foam, easier
than others. Experiment with what suits you. In the ‘selection’ time the
siren is subdued so you don’t upset your neighbours; too much
anyway. Use discretion at what time of day you do this.
Upon entering this mode, the system will give you a series of beeps.
Compare the number of beeps with the chart below, and that is the
reason the alarm had it’s last trigger. In diagnostic mode, the system
will give these series of beeps once every 15 seconds for 2 minutes,
and then automatically revert to service mode.
To select your own tone;
A. Place the system in Service mode (see section 3) and leave
ignition on
2 beeps
The system cannot ‘see’ a motorcycle battery. Check the alarm
fuse, main power connection or earth connections.
B. Hold the ‘P’ button until a siren tone is heard
C. Press the ‘P’ button - each press will result in a different tone.
D. Press ‘key’ button to confirm selection.
3 beeps
The system has detected the ‘ignition on’ signal which may a
simple mistake or may be a forced ignition lock.
E. You are then free to exit service mode.
4 beeps
The system has detected movement/nudge. It may be a windy day!
Maybe you may not want to park your motorcycle their tomorrow.
Section 6. Customising Audible warning of
Arm/Disarm
5 beeps
You may not want the audible beep to confirm arming and dis-arming.
This feature can be toggled in and out as desired.
The anti-tamper switch has changed it’s state.
With the ignition off, system armed or disarmed, press all three buttons
of the remote transmitter together and hold for approx 5 seconds until
indicators flash quickly.
7 flashes indicates the system is in silent mode
14 flashes indicates the system is in audible mode.

Customising the system
Section 7. Hazard (4-way flasher) Mode
Section 9. Indicator warning
With the motorcycle ignition off, system armed or disarmed, Hold the
‘key’ and ‘P’ button down simultaneously for approx 3 secs.
The Acumen CAT21 system can be set as a turn signal
reminder. It’s all too easy to leave indicators on - with possible
disastrous consequences. The system is set to have this function
enabled when it leaves our factory.
If the indicators flash five times and then go out, then either;
A. The motorcycle ignition is on, or
The indicator warning will ignore the first 20 flashes of your indicators,
then start to beep, quietly. It will get louder and louder to a maximum
loudness at 40 flashes.
B. The motorcycle battery is of insufficient voltage
WARNING
To remove/add this function;
The system monitors the motorcycle battery when in Hazard mode. If
the motorcycle battery voltage begins to decline to a point where your
motorcycle may no longer start, the unit will switch the hazards off
automatically.
Place the system in service mode (see section 3). With the motorcycle
ignition off press all three buttons on the remote transmitter for approx
5 seconds until the indicators flash rapidly.
10 flashes indicate the feature has been turned OFF
5 flashes indicates the feature has been turned ON.
Section 8. Customising the nudge sensor
In high winds, the nudge sensor may activate the system. It will
determine the rocking is an attempt to remove items such as fairing
panels, seat or luggage. Too many ‘nudges’ in a set period of time will
result in a full reaction. You can remove this function, and add it back
when it suits you.
Section 10. Motorcycle Over-voltage
If your motorcycle has problems with its own electrical system, you
may not be aware of this until it’s too late. Overcharging of the
motorcycle battery will result in greatly reduced battery life and
possible breakdown. The Acumen CAT21 system monitors your
motorcycle electrical system for over-voltage while the motorcycle is
being used (set at 16V). If the system has been subjected to over-
voltage, it will beep 3 times as soon as the ignition is switched off. If
this happens several times, we recommend you have your motorcycle
examined by an authorised dealer.
With the alarm disarmed, and the ignition switched on, press the ‘P’
button. This will toggle the pre-alert function off and on. (3 flashes - off
and 6 flashes - on)

Customising the system
Section 11. Remote Transmitter battery low warning.
Section 13. Key Conversion
Whenever the remote transmitter is used, the alarm monitors the state
of the transmitter’s batteries. When the batteries start to become
discharged, the CAT21 will tell you with 6 rapid beeps every time the
key fob is used.
On registering the alarm as
first or subsequent owner you
will receive two key blanks.
These will be suitable for your
motorcycle which can be cut
locally to match your original
key.
When this happens you still have plenty of time to get those batteries
replaced. We recommend you don’t use the torch function though. (see
section 12)
Section 14. Trigger warning
Section 12. Torch feature
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.
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 20 seconds. If you
need the torch function for longer than this, release the button and
start again.
Section 15. Sleep Mode
The Acumen CAT21 incorporates a sleep mode to protect the
motorcycle battery. If you use an intelligent float charger, such as the
Acumax 900, the unit will not go into sleep.
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.
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;
C) The CAT21 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 16)
Holding down the ‘key’ button and then switch on the motorcycle
ignition.

Customising the system
TO ENTER THE INITIAL PIN
You can now enter the pin of
your choice; say 4 digits - 1234
Section 16. PIN Override
If you cannot disarm the system from the
remote transmitter - see troubleshooting, - you
will be able to disarm the system by using the
Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Each step in this process will be confirmed by
beeps or tones:
Ignition on, count 1 beep, ignition off
Ignition on, count 2 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 3 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 4 beeps, ignition off
Press the ‘P’ button on the transmitter.
1. Disarm the system
2. Remove system fuse
(1 beep will confirm this)
The CAT21 system leaves the factory with no
PIN override in its memory. We feel it is easier
for you, the rider, to enter a number which
means something to you and can easily be
remembered. You should never need to use
the PIN override, but if you do have to use it
then this system just might make life a bit
easier!
3. Switch motorcycle ignition on. (1 beep)
4. Enter service mode (1 beep - 2 to 3 seconds)
5. Press ‘key’ and ‘P’ buttons together on the
transmitter (1 beep)
You will now get one long tone, and you will
need to confirm the PIN
6. Replace system fuse (1 beep)
7. Switch ignition off (1 beep )
Ignition on, count 1 beep, ignition off
Ignition on, count 2 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 3 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 4 beeps, ignition off
To enter a new PIN you will need access to
the system fuse (details of where the fuse is
positioned should be on the Certificate of
Installation. Acumen will not know where the
fuse is!). and you will have to be able to enter
service mode (see section 3)
8. Press ‘key’ and ‘P’ buttons together on the
transmitter (2 beeps)
IF YOU GET IT WRONG
You will get 2 long tones to confirm the PIN
has been entered successfully.
Should you get it wrong or distracted at any
point in this process, and you want to start the
process again, simply disarm the alarm with
the transmitter.
The CAT21 has the ability to accept different
levels of security of the PIN - 4, 5 or 6 digits.
(3 short tones means the first and second
entry of the PIN did not match - try again!)
4 Digits will give 6561 combinations
5 Digits will give 59049 combinations, and
6 Digits will give 531441 combinations.
The above example was for a PIN of 4 digits. If
you want 5 or 6 digits, then you need to
choose 5 or 6 numbers before you press the
‘P’ button on the transmitter, and again when
you confirm the PIN.
•
If the ignition is left OFF for more than 2
minutes and no action is taken, the system
will revert to Service Mode.
•
If the ignition is left ON for more than 10
seconds and no action is taken, the system
will revert to Service Mode.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM USING THE PIN
OVERRIDE
From time- time you may wish to change
the PIN that is in the system.
If the system is armed and you cannot disarm it
from the transmitter, disarm using the PIN
override (in this example the PIN is set to 1234)
1. Disarm the system
2. Remove system fuse
(1 beep will confirm this)
Switch on the motorcycle ignition and leave on -
the alarm will react... Let the system react for 30
seconds (until it stops).
3. Switch motorcycle ignition on. (1 beep)
4. Enter service mode (1 beep )
The LED will illuminate for 5 secs and during this
time switch the ignition OFF
You will now get one long tone, and you will
need to confirm the new PIN
5. Press ‘key’ and ‘P’ buttons together on
the transmitter (1 beep)
DURING THIS 5 SECOND PERIOD
Ignition on, count 6 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 7 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 8 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 9 beeps, ignition off
6. Replace system fuse (1 beep)
7. Switch ignition off (1 beep)
Switch ignition ON - count 1 beep - ignition OFF
Switch ignition ON - count 2 beeps - ignition OFF
Switch ignition ON - count 3 beeps - ignition OFF
Switch ignition ON - count 4 beeps - ignition OFF
8. Press ‘key’ and ‘P’ buttons together on
the transmitter (1 beep)
Enter your known pin; say 4 digits of 1234
Ignition on, count 1 beep, ignition off
Ignition on, count 2 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 3 beeps, ignition off
Ignition on, count 4 beeps, ignition off
The system will now disarm - 1 beep and 1 flash of
the indicators, you now have 50 seconds to start
the motorcycle or the CAT21will arm again.
The above example was for a PIN of 4
digits. If you want 5 or 6 digits, then you
need to choose 5 or 6 numbers before you
press the ‘P’ button on the transmitter, and
again when you confirm the PIN.

Troubleshooting
The Acumen CAT21 is manufactured using automotive specification
parts, including a waterproof connector, 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.
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)
False alarms; Enter diagnostic mode to see why the alarm has
triggered.
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.
2 beeps. Blown fuse - Replace. If it blows again contact the installing
dealer.
3 beeps. The unit has detected an ‘hotwire’ 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.
