Clearwater CANopener operation and features

DIMMING CONTROL (Wonder Wheel equipped bikes)
Information on Dimming: Two modulated brightness channels are adjustable using the Wonder Wheel. Each channel is programmable for (11) brightness settings (3, 10-100%) in three different modes (day, night, and high beam). Settings are stored, and will be remembered when restarting the bike or disconnecting the battery. The dimmer is programmed at the factory for the most useful day/night settings. Follow the procedure below to enter dimming mode.

Step 1: To enter into dimming mode, first press & release the TSC button shown in the figure to the right.

Step 2: To adjust Darla lights, hold the Wonder Wheel to the Left for 2 seconds. To adjust Krista/Erica/Sevina lights, hold Wonder Wheel to the Right for 2 seconds. The lights should flash twice. The brightness level can then be adjusted by rotating the Wonder Wheel forward and back.

Step 3: To exit dimming mode, press and release the TSC button again. This will lock in the brightness setting.

Note – Remember that each set of lights are adjustable for day and night.

Day and night settings are automatically selected by the ambient light level reaching the bike’s photocell. To adjust the night dimmer, simply cover the dash display using your hand or a towel. Activating the high beam switches the lights to 100%. If you want your high beam dimmed, simply perform the same commands (above) in high beam.

WARNING: When configuring the dimmer, be sure that the Wonder Wheel is not making adjustments to other functions of the onboard systems. Turn off the entertainment system to prevent volume adjustment or unwanted channel changes, and select the home screen on the GPS.

DIMMING CONTROL (Non-Wonder Wheel)
If the motorcycle does not have the GPS Prep Package (Wonder Wheel), your light kit will come equipped with a handlebar-mounted knob for dimming control. Separate day/night settings, seperate channel dimming, and strobe functions are not available.

Default Settings:

ON/OFF FUNCTION FOR ERICA/KRISTA/SEVINA
The Krista/Erica/Sevina lights can be manually deactivated. Toggle these modes by holding the TSC button for two seconds.

• Mode 1 – on and dimmable (default)
• Mode 2 – off
  (Krista/Erica/Sevina lights can automatically be shut off if the TSC button is pressed and released 3 times. This is great if the rider forgets is the lights are on or off.)

TURN SIGNAL DIMMING
The front Clearwater lights, and Billie Brake Light can be programmed to dim when the turn signals are activated. To toggle the Turn Signal Dimming mode on and off, press and release the (TSC) button, hold the right Turn Signal while pressing and releasing the front (hand) brake lever 5 times.

DIMMING CONTROL (except non-WonderWheel bikes)

• Mode 1 – Off (default)
• Mode 2 – All Clearwater lights dim to lowest setting when activating turn signals.

HORN ACTIVATION MODE
The Clearwater lights can be programmed for three different modes when the horn button is pressed. Toggle these modes by pressing and releasing the TSC, then hold the front (hand) brake lever and press and release the TSC (5) times. The brake and Clearwater lights will flash to indicate the mode selected:

• Mode 1 – horn does not affect lights
• Mode 2 – horn activates lights 100% (default)
• Mode 3 – horn strobes lights (if two sets of Clearwater lights are installed, they will alternate flashing)
  WARNING: Strobe mode may not be legal on public highways, check local regulations. Strobing intended for parades/escorts under certain conditions.

HIGH BEAM MODE
The Krista/Erica/Sevina lights can be programmed for three modes of operation in conjunction with high beams. Toggle these modes by pressing and releasing the (TSC) button, holding the front hand brake lever then pressing and releasing the FTP button (See Fig. A below) (5) times:

• Mode 1 – All Clearwater lights turn on 100% when high beam or flashto- pass is pressed. Krista/Erica/Sevina lights will not turn on with high beam or flash-to-pass if Krista/Erica/Sevina lights are switched off.
• Mode 2 – HIGH BEAM ACTIVATION. All Clearwater lights turn on 100% when high beam or flash-to-pass is pressed. Krista/Erica/Sevina lights will turn on when High beam or flash-to-pass is pressed, even when Krista/Erica/Sevina lights are switched off (default on Version 1.6 or greater).
• Mode 3 – HIGH BEAM FLASH MODE: Same as Mode 2, but lights will flash for 2 seconds when the flash-to-pass button is triggered 3 times.

HAZARD FLASHER ALERT MODE
The Clearwater lights can be programmed to strobe when the hazard flasher button is toggled on. Toggle these modes by pressing and releasing the (TSC) button, holding down the hazard flasher button, then press and release the (hand) brake lever (5) times:

• Mode 1 – OFF, no flash with emergency flasher button (default)
• Mode 2 – strobe with emergency flasher when button is held down (Version 1.90 or earlier), or toggled on (Version 1.91 and later). If two sets of Clearwater lights are installed, they will alternate flashing.

DIXI FUNCTIONALITY
Dixi lights operate similarly to two sets of our lights. The Outer Ring of LEDs (A) can be turned on and off by holding in the TSC for 2 seconds just like a set of Kristas, Ericas or Sevinas.

The Inner LEDs (B) are designed to come on with the engine just like a set of Darlas but can be shut off (Version 2.3+) by holding the TSC Left for 5 seconds and turned back on by holding the TSC to the right for 3 seconds.
The Inner and Outer ring of LEDs are dimmed together using the same dimming operation as the Krista/Erica/Sevina channel. Refer to Page 5,Step 2 for further dimming operation details.
