Datatool system 3 battery question

[AndyBrad]

I want to take the battery off my bike for the next month (or till the ice goes) however its gotn a datatool on it. Is there any way to remove the battery without the alarm beeping every 15 seconds?

Sorry obviously a glitch in the matrix, please delete the other ones.

You could try the anti spike procedure. Never tried it mysef but:

Use these if the alarm system has been spiked.
1. Remove lid from main alarm unit.
2. Remove internal battery link from PCB (arrowed)
3. Remove alarm inline fuse
4. Unplug PCB from alarm loom
Leave these parts out over a period of at least 6 hours, to allow the system to
drain completely.

To refit
With the bikes battery still in place and fully charged.
1. Plug PCB onto loom and reinstall
2. Replace In-Line fuse.
3. The alarm will sound for a period of approx. 30 seconds.
4. Allow the system to reset itself.
5. Replace internal battery link onto PCB.
6. Make sure all connections are complete and replace lid
7. Disarm system as normal (this may take up to 3 presses as system realigns itself)

Oh and get yourself some zapper batteries. Each zapper takes 2 batteries. Bargain

Just take the datatool out ;)

I would remove the alarm as they're so bloody annoying.
Don't remove the battery or the alarm will die in an annoying way and you'll need to remove it.

If you are maintaining battery then run the optimate lead outside or something.

buy a charger/maintainer. An optimate/maximiser type product.

Took my alarm out and wrapped it in a blanket and left it to scream to a muted death in the corner of the shed :)

But you have to connect the battery lead. I have a waterproof AccuMate TM71 which I haven't fitted yet. I also have a datatool 3 alarm so to get the lead fitted I am going to have to disconnect the battery at some point.

then just bung the alarm in service mode untill the lead is fitted, shove a screwed up towl or something over the alarm to quieten (is that a word?) it a bit

so would i but it lives outside and is a requirment for the insurance :(

ive got a halfords battery charger that is waterproof but i cant get power outside without having a door/window open. Cant be arsed to drill a hole as the walls are silly hard. Just wondered if there was an easy way to do it. Seems not.

After posting on this thread yesterday I got woken at 6am by the better half this morning as the bike alarm was going off. It stared to go in cycles. Alarm goes off - I push the off button on the fob - It resets to on again - Wait 2 minutes - Alarm goes off. I go out to try and start the bike but the battery just turns it over very slowly. So with the other half on fob control I shoot into work to see what I need to do today. Not too much so home I come to do some work.

Tooled up, I decide that I need the battery out and will remove the alarm as per my own advice earlier in this thread. Into service mode, take off the seats and cut the cable ties holding the alarm and wrap the unit is a cloth. Problem 1, can't find the alarm fuse. OK. Go to unplug the unit. Problem 2 The alarm seems to have no central plug and looks like it has been asimilated into the bike wiring by the borg. Ok. Lets take the internal plug out I think. Problem 3, the alarm case has those security hex bolts that I do not have a set of keys for. Sod it I think (the car said it was -12.5 degrees) I disconect the bike battery and remove it. The alarm is still bleeping at the normal 15 second intervals as it does in service mode so I push the alarm fob and all is quiet. The alarm is off and I guess the interal battery is too cold to be bothered to do anything. I will wait and see if this has caused me a problem when I reinstall the battery but not bothered as it is too cold to worry about it.

Hmmm interesting

[B1k3R]

Just checked the battery date and it is the original battery I think (2002). The cold has killed the battery and confused the alarm. The battery was showing 11.84v

[AndyBrad]

Think ill just pop it on charge and leave it well be :( didnt want all that hassle tbh.

I needed to put in a perminant accumate lead anyway so the job is now half done. I was going to do it when I did a service on the bike which will be done when the weather gets a little warmer. I would leave well alone too!
