Alarm won't stop going off!
 

In short, my Datatag Veto Evo Alarm wont stop going off after I disconected the battery. I can stop it with the alarm remote, but then a few seconds later it goes off again. How can I stop it once and for all?

All this comes about as I am trying to program a new alarm remote. According to the instructions one of the first steps is to disconect the battery...

Any ideas are much appreciated!

You have to put it in service mode to stop the alarm going off.

But i beleave the corrrect thing is not to disconnect the battery, but the fuse that goes to the alarm from the battery.

Hey TSM,

The instructions state that the alarm must be taken out of service mode before a new / spare transmitter can be programmed.

Just re-read the instructions and have noticed that I was supposed to remove the alarm battery, not the main / bike battery! Lol

I've had this problem before though. So wondering why everytime I disconnect / reconnect the battery I set the alarm into a frenzy?

Cheers

I had the battery disconnected this weekend and putting the alarm into service mode didnt seem to help. i think this is because service mode only disables the tilt sensors, and turning the key or disconnecting the battery is still seen as an attempted theft.

this is somthing we were pondering this weekend, when the alarm was going off every 45 seconds and really ****ing off the neighbours (fortunately not my neighbours) :twisted:

Saucerboy....I have had a similar problem with my datatool system 3 alarm.
After checking the website I dicovered that I may have "spiked" the alarm when messing with my indicators. The info that I got from Datatool was to remove the cover from the alarm box, disconnect the internal battery, pull out all the plugs from the circuit board and leave the system to "drain" overnight. The following day, I replaced all the plugs to the circuit board (except the siren plug)
replace the fuse and connect the bikes battery. Then replace the siren plug and operate the alarm.
this fixed the problem for me. I hope it is of some help to you........Cheers

Thats not service mode, its just armed with the motion detector off.

To put in service mode i think you have to turn the bike on and press the arm button for a few seconds. When you turn the bike off it will beep three times every 30-1m i beleave, in that mode it wont go off at all (you can start the bike too) but you will have the annoying beep all the time..

Alarm silenced (and now slightly deaf) by disconnecting the alarm battery.

BTW, the alarm came with the bike when brought it. Whilst I have the user guide I'm not sure where the in-line fuse is. Is it inside the alrm unit or with the rest of the bike's fuses - couldn't see it?

Oh, and whilst I'm at it, does anyone know what / where the Protective Trigger Switch is?

I'm starting to see why some people don't like alarms...

Thats what I do to my data tool when I want to disconnect the battery, I've disconnected it loads of times and the alarm just beeps to itself in service mode and doesnt go off.

saucerboy...........the fuse is under the pillion seat in a rubber holder. the trigger microswitch is also under the pillion seat....cheers

Thanks everyone. I will be investigating the fuse / microswitch and attempting to program the new remote as soon as I get a chance.

Now that half the back end is off I feeling tempted to remove the subframe and give it a respray... :)
