A friend of mine has his bike equipped with Datatool Veto Evo alarm system. During the winter he took the battery out and his alarm went nuts!! Alarm wont let him to start the bike, its spiked, and any attempt to de spike it according to what is written in the manual failed. We did exactly step by step the procedure from the manual with no results what so ever!
If anyone can provide me with some alternative method how to deal with it I would be very gratefull. Datatool wrote us back saying, it`s most likely the bikes fault not the alarm.
PS: The alarm itself works correct. He can arm/disarm te alarm using the remote, alarm is alive (beeping flashing) but theres no spark.
i managed to speak to a really helpfully guy at a garage which fits datatools.
he said i should…
1)remove the outer casing of the alarm unit
2)remove rechargable battery from the alarm unit
3)remove the alarms 10a fuse
4)leave the fuse and battery out of the cuircit for at least 6 hours for the system to totally drain.
5)after the 6 hours locate two black wires with a green tag on each (normally somewhere under the seat) with the ignition on connect these wires up to the positive termianl on your bike. (i had to buy some wire and crocodile clips to extend them)
6)turn on the ignition
replace alarm fuse
8)replace alarm battery
9)hold the O AND triangle buttons (together) for 10 seconds untill a fast double bleep can be heard
10)press O and your alarm should work.
however i did this yesterday and gues what…it still doesnt work. it may just me me or my bike at fault though so you might want to give it a try.
ive given up and will be getting it taken to a garage to remove it!
The de spiking instructions from your garage chap leave out a couple of steps such as unplugging the loom - and I suspect this may be fairly important.
This is Datatool’s own recipe. I works for me (and in ‘ignition off’ mode) but must be followed exactly:
Remove lid from main alarm unit.
Remove internal battery from PCB.
Remove alarm inline fuse (I worked out which one was connected to mine by pulling fuses until the alarm stopped)
Unplug PCB from alarm loom (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Leave these parts out over a period of at least 6 hours, to allow the
system to drain completely.
With the bikes battery still in place and fully charged.
Plug PCB onto loom and reinstall.
Replace In-Line fuse.
The alarm will sound for a period of approx. 30 seconds.
Allow the system to reset itself.
Replace internal battery onto PCB.
Make sure all connections are complete.
Re-Align the remote – Press and hold both buttons for a period of 5 seconds,
then press the circle button.
Incidentally, you can unplug the alarm speaker during this process if you don’t want to annoy people/damage your hearing - the alarm will still make a faint noise when it’s supposed to be tripped (well, my one does!)
