Installation and Wiring
The Acumen SCOOTER consists of the following main components;
•SCOOTER main unit ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
•SCOOTER wiring harness
•1 x Remote Fob
•Fitting kit including System fuse, spare fuse & Red LED system indicator
Tool Required:
•Pliers/Cable strippers/Cable cutters
•Drill with 5.5mm and 8mm bits
•Soldering equipment
•Adhesive lines heatshrink tubing
•High quality insulating tape
•Masking tape (for drilling LED hole)
•Multimeter
•General workshop tools
•Scooter wiring diagram
SCOOTER main unit ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
Ensure the fitting of the equipment and the associated wiring does not affect the operation of the scooter. Be sure the alarm and wiring does not affect moving parts (such as control cables, brakes) and does not touch hot parts.
The SCOOTER is designed for scooter use and is fully encapsulated so water ingress is not of a concern. Likewise, the Key Fob is also of a waterproof design. We recommend however that the unit is not placed in a position where it is continually subjected to water and/or pressure washing.
Siting/positioning the SCOOTER main unit/ECU (Electronic Control unit)
When mounting the unit, use the 5mm screws/nuts supplied in the fitting kit or cable tie the unit to a suitable frame tube. Take care to mount the unit where access to it is protected (the more difficult it is to reach, the harder the job the ‘thief’ has to bypass the alarm).
Route the wiring alongside the scooter wiring, and tape it in the style of the original scooter wiring.
Siting/positioning the LED system Indicator
Be aware the LED will result in a small increase of electrical current drain. The LED draws 1mA of electrical current. The LED provides a visual indication of the alarm’s status, helps with the diagnostic mode of the alarm, and will warn a potential thief that your scooter is alarmed and that the alarm is armed.
For this reason, it is preferable to position the LED where it can be easily seen. Having decided on a suitable position, drill an 8mm hole, pass the LED through from the back of the hole and then insert the LED into the LED holder. Then push the LED holder back into the 8mm hole to mount it securely. Route the LED wires to the position of the SCOOTER ECU.
The alarm has a loom which ends in a
