The product has been designed for Keyless activation and deactivation pairing the optional CARD B9.5 that you can require to your installer, the operations in Keyless mode are described in the 16th paragraph of this manual.

NOTIFICATIONS

The DEFCOM 3.1B alarm provides different signals (led, siren, and flashing of the vehicle indicators) according to the different commands received from the remote control and different conditions which it is, following are reported the main signals. Some acoustic signals from the siren during arming and disarming of the alarm (highlighted in bold) will be emitted only enabling the Buzzer Function, this is possible by changing the product factory set-up during installation (see the paragraph “12. MAIN PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS”).

If various alarms have been triggered, the memory will signal them in a sequence with 3-second pauses and will repeat the sequence every 6 seconds. The memory is reset when the motorcycle is started up or when the alarm system is armed with the remote control again. NOTE: Using the CARD B9.5 with KeyLess mode, the alarms memory stays available for one minute also after instrument panel activation.

MEMORISED ALARMS	LED SIGNALS
Internal movement sensor	1 Flash
Contacts	2 Flashes
Ignition key sensing	3 Flashes
Tampering with cables or battery	4 Flashes

PASSIVE ARMING

The central unit arms automatically in 50 seconds after executing one of the following operations:

After the motorcycle’s key has been turned OFF.
After the remote control has been pressed to disarm the alarm system.
After the alarm system has been disarmed using the ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE.

The passive arming is signaled by a short flash of the direction indicators and a slow flashing of the LED, only the engine immobilizer is armed.
It is also possible to select the passive arming of all the alarm systems (see the paragraph on configuration). In this case, the signals given are the same as those of arming using the remote control.

ARMING BY REMOTE CONTROL

Press the A BUTTON of the remote control briefly within 50 seconds of turning the motorcycle’s ignition key OFF; the direction indicators flash twice. All the central unit’s functions have been activated and the LED is flashing.

ARMING WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE INTERNAL MOVEMENT SENSOR

Press the A BUTTON of the remote control for approximately 2 seconds and within 50 seconds of turning the motorcycle’s ignition key OFF; the direction indicators flash 2 + 1 times and the siren emits 1 BEEP sound.
All the central unit’s functions have been activated except the movement sensor. During the immunity phase, the LED flashes fastly and after flashes normally.

DISARMING

Press the A BUTTON of the remote control briefly: the direction indicators flash once, and the LED switches off if no alarms have been triggered while the alarm system was active. If the LED remains ON and the siren also emits a BOOP sound, this means that the alarm system was triggered; To find out how the alarm was triggered, consult the “MEMORISED ALARMS” table in the chapter “1. NOTIFICATIONS”.
If visual and acoustic signals are given during arming or disarming that are different from those described above, consult the chapter “1. NOTIFICATIONS” table to find out what they mean.

INITIAL IMMUNITY PHASE

For the first 26 seconds, after the alarm system has been armed with the remote control, the LED flashes fastly to signal that it is possible to test the protection functions of the system.
Any alarm triggers do not provoke an alarm but just BEEP sounds by the siren together with the resetting of the initial immunity phase which starts again. When this phase is over, the LED flashes normally, and any alarm triggers will provoke an alarm.

ACTIVE PHASE

This is when the alarm system is armed and after the initial immunity, phase is over. Any alarm triggers will provoke an alarm cycle that lasts 26 seconds: the direction indicators fl ash, the siren emits a distinctive modulated sound, the horn will sound continuous and it will be impossible to start the engine.

PROTECTION BY THE ALARM SYSTEM

The alarm central unit protects the motorcycle against being started and an alarm cycle will be triggered every time:

The ignition key is turned ON
An attempt is made to remove or move any part of the motorcycle which is protected by specific switches (for example if the seat or the storage compartment is opened…)
The motorcycle is moved
The alarm system’s supply cables are disconnected or cut or if the motorcycle’s battery is disconnected.

PANIC

It is possible to trigger a 10-second alarm cycle by pressing the B BUTTON on the remote control.
This alarm cycle can be interrupted by pressing the same button again.

SERVICE MODE

If needs to exclude the alarm system for a time period, it’s possible to enable the SERVICE MODE modality using its remote control.
To enable the SERVICE MODE turn ON the motorcycle’s key and immediately after press holds the A BUTTON of the remote control at least 6 sec., the feature enabling is indicated by the LED flashing very fast when the motorcycle’s key is ON.
To disable the SERVICE MODE turn ON the motorcycle’s key and immediately after press holds the A BUTTON of the remote control for at least 6 sec., the feature disabling is indicated by the LED goes OFF.

AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS TO PREVENT VEHICLE BATTERY DISCHARGE

This product has 2 different timed operation options to protect the vehicle battery (STOP MODE and DEEP SLEEP MODE) and an additional system to fast shut off if the battery voltage level goes down than 10,5V.
DEEP SLEEP MODE ( LIMITING CURRENT CONSUMPTION WITH ALARM FUNCTIONS )
It is activated 5 days after the system was armed by remote control or automatically (passive arming) if no alarms were triggered in this time.
The behavior of this operation option it’s very similar to the STOP MODE and the main diff hence it’s the vehicle protection that stay active during the DEEP SLEEP phase.
To exit from DEEP SLEEP MODE , turn the ignition key ON: the siren will emit a series of BEEP sounds. Press the remote control within 20 seconds of the BEEPS to disarm the alarm system.
If the remote control is not pressed within 20 seconds, an alarm cycle will be triggered.
STOP MODE (LIMITING CURRENT CONSUMPTION WITHOUT ALARM FUNCTIONS)
The alarm system automatically switches off in order to limit the consumption of current in the motorcycle’s battery, automatically excluding the alarm functions but maintaining the immobilization of the engine: in this condition current consumption is nil. STOP MODE is activated 5 days after the system was armed by remote control or automatically (passive arming) if no alarms were triggered in this time or if the motorcycle’s battery is almost flat (battery voltage level under 10,5V).
To exit from STOP MODE, turn the ignition key ON: the siren will emit a series of BEEP sounds. Press the remote control within 20 seconds of the BEEPS to disarm the alarm system. If the remote control is not pressed within 20 seconds, an alarm cycle will be triggered.

MAIN PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

It is possible to set some alarm functions to adapt the alarm system to the motorcycle and its driver’s needs. All possible set-ups are described in the table below wherein bold are highlighted the factory set-up.

FUNCTION	OPTION “A”	OPTION “B”
Passive arming	Enabled	Disabled
Passive arming type	Only immobilizer	Immobilizer and
switches alarm	Immobilizer,

Use only the PRG007 PROGRAMMER V3 to select the various functions of the product. Software updates for the PRG007 PROGRAMMER V3 and information about the programmable functions are available ONLINE in the TECH AREA/VEHICLES AREA of the www.metasystem.it website.

To enable or disable the buzzer during the alarm Arming/Disarming execute the following procedure:

Enable the SERVICE MODE and after pressing 6 times the A BUTTON of the remote control, one Beep will confirm the buzzer change.
Then restore the normal operation of the alarm unit by deactivating the SERVICE MODE.

OVERRIDE EMERGENCY CODE

If the remote control is lost, stolen, or damaged, it is possible to disarm the alarm system with a 5-digit emergency code called the ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE, and this code is found on the label applied on the alarm central unit body.
Remove the label from the alarm unit body and places it on the dedicated plate that you can find in the accessory bag, this plate must be kept in a safe place and not with the motorcycle.
The procedure is operational only after the initial immunity phase is over, and if the alarm functions are operational, alarm cycles will be triggered while the override code is inserted.
Perform the following procedure.
With an armed alarm system activate the instrument panel and immediately deactivate it; the LED will turn ON, turn off and then start to flash after 2 seconds.

WARNING: if the standard ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE length (5 digits) will be changed in 3 digits the alarm unit disarms after entering the third digit instead of the fifth one.
If 3 attempts to insert the wrong code are detected, the central unit will be blocked for 10 minutes in order to prevent attempts to search for the code.

CUSTOMISING THE ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE

It is possible to customize the ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE so that it is easier to remember in case of an emergency. The ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE customizing and the length reduction in 3 digits can be performed by the installer only using the PRG007 V3 PROGRAMMER.

ADDITIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS

The alarm system is usually supplied with 2 remote controls.
To add or remove remote controls from the memory, gather all the remote controls together that are to be included in the alarm system’s memory and proceed as follows:

Disarm the alarm system and turn the ignition key ON 3 times within 3 sec and keep it ON the last time (a BEEP sound confirms selection)
Turn the ignition key OFF within 10 sec and insert the ‘OVERRIDE’ CODE.
When the last digit has been confirmed a series of BEEP–BEEP-BOOP-BOOP sounds to confirm the code was correct and the LED starts flashing very fast.
Within 60 seconds press simultaneously the 2 buttons on the first radio remote control; one BEEP sound and the LED turns OFF for 2 seconds to confirm pairing. Repeat the operation for all of the other radio remote controls to be paired, each time checking that they have been stored successfully (any remote controls that are not paired during this phase will be excluded).
To complete the pairing phase turn the ignition key ON or wait 60 seconds, a series of BEEP–BEEP-BOOP-BOOP sounds confirms the end of the procedure and the LED turns OFF.

KEYLESS MODE BY CARD B9.5

For this kind of functioning its necessary to pair the CARD B9.5 optional, with them is possible arming and disarm the alarm system without pressing the remote control buttons, and Mycro remote controls stay operative; after pairing the CARD using the PRG007 V3 PROGRAMMER to activate the CARD B9.5 press it’s button 5 times.

Alarm system activation in the passive arming mode selected:
It occurs by moving the CARD B9.5 away from the vehicle with the instrument panel OFF, after 15 sec. of missing signal from the CARD B9.5 the alarm system arms itself and will be signaled as described in paragraph 1.

Alarm system disarming:
It occurs by turning ON the instrument panel with CARD B9.5 close to the vehicle, and disarming will be signaled as described in paragraph 1.
If the CARD B9.5 is still close to the vehicle at the end of the initial immunity phase all the protections will be activated only after 15 seconds of missing signal from the CARD B9.5.

USE OF THE CARD B9.5 BUTTON
Alarm system arming: when the button is used to arm the system by pressing the CARD B9.5 button all the protections will be included, the alarm system arm immediately and the protections will be active after 26 seconds of immunity time if the CARD B9.5 will not be close to the vehicle. If the CARD B9.5 is still close to the vehicle at the end of the initial immunity phase all the protections will be activated only after 15 seconds of missing signal from the CARD B9.5.
Alarm system disarming: when the button is used to disarm the system by pressing the CARD B9.5 button the disarming will be a few seconds after pressing the button and the next passive arming will be after 50 seconds instead of 15 seconds.
