Acumen Portable Asset Protection System - PAPS
16 February 2010
Measuring just 15cm x 10 cm x 5 cm, the new PAPS (Portable Asset Protection System) from Acumen is a very clever little box of tricks. It will alert you by SMS (a standard text message) sent to your mobile phone (and up to two others) if it detects movement, tilt, or a significant temperature change. Not only is the Acumen PAPS small, it is also light (less than 300 grams) making it truly portable, and with up to six months internal battery life you could even take it on holiday with you to protect your bike when parked in a garage, van, tent, etc.

Acumen CL10 Remote Chain Oiler Kit
27 March 2009
Acumen, the UK’s leading motorcycle electronics manufacturer, has developed a remote kit for their ‘intelligent’ chain oiler. Normally the can of chain lube screws onto the solenoid, which squirts it through a tube and onto the chain, and both would be mounted out of sight under the seat. However this ingenious new kit contains everything required to mount the solenoid and lube elsewhere on the bike, either together or separately. Acumen even produce anodised alloy sleeves in a range of exciting colours to fit over the exposed chain lube can to make an attractive feature of it.

New Acumen Cat 1.1 Alarm/Immobiliser for 2009
26 January 2009
Acumen’s new Cat 1.1 alarm/immobiliser is small, with three potent internal sirens, and it is totally waterproof for reliability. Acumen are the UK’s only independent manufacturer of electronic motorcycle security and their new Cat 1.1 is independently tested by Thatcham* to their Category One standard. Measuring just 112mm x 56mm x 32mm the Cat 1.1 is the most compact alarm/immobiliser available today, making it simpler to fit on modern motorcycles, where space is at a premium, and trickier for thieves to locate too. Totally waterproof resin encapsulated electronics and waterproof automotive-specification connectors rated to IP67 ensure reliability whatever the weather. Acumen is the ONLY manufacturer to produce bike alarms to this standard. Meanwhile its class-leading current draw of 1.8mA backed up by Intelligent Battery Sense™ (that provides a 3-stage sleep mode based on battery state and time) minimises the impact on the bike’s battery.

Acumen 1020 Self Fit DIY Alarm
02 December 2008
Britain’s only independent motorcycle alarm manufacturer, Acumen, has added a simple, value-for-money self-fit alarm to its range of electronic motorcycle security. According to the Home Office, crime is likely to increase during the recession, so Acumen decided to bring the latest technology to riders on a tight budget. Fully encapsulated electronics provide 100% waterproof construction and this combines with surface mount technology for complete reliability. A 'Proper' movement sensor, the type use in Thacham-approved systems - is unusual in the budget end of the market and avoids false alarms. Class-leading low current draw of less than 5mA will not put excessive stain on the battery either.

New Acumen Acucom Intercom With On-Bike Charger
24 August 2007
Acumen has developed a Bluetooth intercom package using the acclaimed Interphone module complete with a specifically designed on-bike charger that enables users to top-up the unit's battery anytime, any place anywhere. "When most people go touring on a motorcycle, they are limited in carrying capacity - so everything they can leave behind is a bonus. One of the things we don't want to carry with us is a mains charger - so we engineered a bespoke on-bike charger for the Interphone that plugs directly into the bike's battery," comments Acumen's Dave Martin.

Summer Deals On Innovative Accessories From Acumen
13 June 2007
Acumen electronics has announced two very special deals to encourage motorcyclists to try some of the company’s more innovative products. The Acumen Platinum Duo looks like a regular smart charger, yet it is capable of monitoring and charging two batteries simultaneously. Housed in a splash proof case manufactured from attractive and robust extruded aluminium, this microprocessor-based unit automatically tests, charges, maintains and recovers batteries. Although it only requires a single power socket for operation, inside are dual independent charging circuits that enable the Platinum Duo to charge and maintain two batteries of different capacities, in separate machines or vehicles, at the same time. Simple to operate and compact, the Platinum Duo is supplied with all necessary leads and a wall mounting bracket. It normally sells for £74.99 but Acumen has reduced the price by 20% to £59.99 for a limited time only.
