DENALI DNL.WHS.24800 GEN II CANsmart Controller
Thank you for choosing DENALI
We know you would rather be riding your bike than wrenching on it, so we go the extra mile to make sure our instructions are clear and as easy to understand as possible. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions don’t hesitate to give our experts a call at 401.360.2550 or visit WWW.DENALIELECTRONICS.COM
Please Read Before Installing
DENALI products should always be installed by a qualified motorcycle technician. If you are unsure of your ability to properly install a product, please have the product installed by your local motorcycle dealer. DENALI takes no responsibility for damages caused by improper installation. Caution: When installing electronics it is extremely important to pay close attention to how wires are routed, especially when mounting products to the front fender, front fork, or fairing of your motorcycle. Always be sure to turn the handlebars fully left, fully right, and fully compress the suspension to ensure the wires will not bind and have enough slack for your motorcycle to operate properly.
Installation Tips
We strongly recommend using medium strength liquid thread locker on all screws and bolts. It is also important to ensure that all hardware is tightened to the proper torque specifications as listed in your owner’s manual. For included accessory hardware please refer to the default torque specifications provided below. Inspect all hardware after the first 30 miles to ensure that proper torque specifications are maintained.
Bolt Size | in-lbs | ft-lbs | Nm |
---|---|---|---|
M3 | 10.0 in-lbs | – | 1.0 Nm |
M4 | 23.0 in-lbs | – | 2.5 Nm |
M5 | 44.5 in-lbs | 3.5 ft-lbs | 5.0 Nm |
M6 | 78.0 in-lbs | 6.5 ft-lbs | 9.0 Nm |
M8 | – | 13.5 ft-lbs | 18.0 Nm |
M10 | – | 30.0 ft-lbs | 41.0 Nm |
M12 | – | 52.0 ft-lbs | 71.0 Nm |
Hardware Sizing Guide
Not sure what size bolt you have? Use this ruler to measure screws,
bolts, spacers, etc. Remember, the length of a screw or bolt is measured from
the start of the “mounting surface” to the end of the screw, so only include
the screw head when measuring countersunk screws.
What’s In The Box?
Device Overview
Overview of Device
The DENALI CANsmart™ Controller provides plug-n-play installation and integrated control of up to four accessories to enable dozens of customizable settings that can be controlled right from the Vehicles Controller or the CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software.
The four circuits are pre-programmed to connect and independently control two sets of DENALI 2.0 lights, a Sound Bomb horn, and our B6 auxiliary brake light. However, our Circuit Function Selector in the CANsmart software will let you run any accessory of your choice on any of the four circuits.
The illustration above depicts the preprogrammed default configuration, to see
all available circuit functions and settings please refer Section 6 or visit
our online user guide at: DENALIelectronics.com/cansmart-user-
guide
Overview of System Features
The two auxiliary light circuits enable independent adjustment of high and low beam brightness right from the vehicle’s factory controls It also features a “flash to pass” and “strobe when horn active” setting that will strobe the auxiliary lights when you pulse your high beam switch or sound your horn.
The feature-rich brake light circuit will transform a simple 2-wire brake light into a “smart brake light” complete with running light, multiple flash patterns, and deceleration activated braking functionality.
The horn circuit enables the addition of an auxiliary horn without having to add a relay and dedicated horn wiring harness.
For a full list of features and available settings refer to Section 6.
Connecting To CAN bus
Connecting To The CAN bus

Note: Place the fuse holder in an easily accessible location for
convenient service in the event of a blown fuse.
Connecting Accessories
Light Set One & Two (Red & White Circuits)
In the default configuration, the circuit for Light Set One is the longest red lead, the shortest white lead is for Light Set Two. Both circuits are designed to handle up to 10 amps each.
Step One: Plug the male 3-pin connector of the Light Extension-Splitter into one of the CANsmart™ Controller’s light circuits.
Step Two: Begin routing the harness toward the front of the bike. Secure the harness to the vehicle’s frame along the way with the included zip ties. Be sure to avoid any moving components such as radiator fan blades or suspension.
Step Three: Plug the DENALI Light Pods into the female 3-pin connectors of the Extension-Splitter. Repeat steps One through Three using a second Light Extension-Splitter for the second set of lights.
Two-Wire Dimming: Turn off “Three-Wire Dimming Mode” for correct dimming
operation of auxiliary LED lights that have only two wires. If enabled the 3rd
yellow wire will be deactivated and PWM data will instead be transmitted
through the red wire.
Wire two wire lights using the red wire for positive (+) and the black wire
for negative (-).
Horn (Blue Circuit)
Step One: Plug the male 2-pin connector of the Horn Extension into blue horn circuit on the CANsmart™ Controller.
