glossary of terms

Control Unit:

The "brain" of your system hidden somewhere on the

motorcycle where it is difficult for a thief to access. It houses the micro-

processor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system's

functions. The Merlin 3000 control unit houses the battery backup

siren and Tilt sensor.

Input

: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided

by a sensor, switch or through an existing system on the motorcycle.

LED

: Blue light mounted somewhere on the motorcycle. It is used to

indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and

faults with the system.

Tilt Sensor: A sensor integral with the control module which senses if

the angle of the motorcycle has changed.

Remote

: Hand-held transmitter which operates the various functions of

your system.

Trigger or Triggered Sequence:

This is what happens when the alarm

"goes off" or "trips." The triggered response of your system consists

of the siren sounding and indicators flashing for 30-seconds.

Valet Switch

: A small two-button switch mounted somewhere on the

motorcycle. It is used to override the alarm when a remote is lost or

damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode and for system programming.

Zone

: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as

unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone.
