Harley-Davidson Factory Security System Manual: An Overview

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for operating and maintaining the Harley-Davidson Factory Security System. It covers everything from key fob pairing to alarm troubleshooting‚ ensuring optimal system performance and security for your motorcycle.

Understanding the Harley-Davidson Factory Security System

The Harley-Davidson Smart Security System offers an immobilizer and alarm‚ ensuring only the authorized owner can start the motorcycle. It provides a transparent security blanket through automatic arming and disarming.

Purpose and Functionality of the System

The primary purpose of the Harley-Davidson Factory Security System is to deter theft and unauthorized use of the motorcycle. Functionally‚ it employs an immobilizer that prevents the engine from starting without the presence of a paired key fob. The system also includes an alarm‚ triggered by motion or tampering‚ which activates the siren and flashes the turn signal lamps. It offers both automatic arming after the ignition is turned off and manual disarming via key fob or PIN. This ensures a transparent security environment for the motorcycle owner. The system monitors for security events.

Components of the Security System

The Harley-Davidson Factory Security System consists of several key components working in concert. The core is the Smart Security System module‚ which manages the alarm and immobilizer functions. Key fobs‚ uniquely paired to the system‚ allow for authorized starting and disarming. An optional siren provides an audible alarm‚ while the turn signal lamps flash to visually indicate an alarm event. Some systems include a Security System Pager‚ offering remote notification of alarm triggers. Finally‚ a personal identification number (PIN) offers a method to override the system.

Key Fob Operation and Management

This section details the essential functions of your Harley-Davidson security system’s key fob‚ including pairing‚ assignment‚ and troubleshooting lost or malfunctioning fobs for seamless operation.

Pairing and Assigning Fobs to the System

The Harley-Davidson Smart Security System relies on properly paired key fobs for seamless operation. A Harley-Davidson dealer electronically assigns these fobs‚ ensuring the system recognizes each fob’s unique signal. Only two fobs can be actively assigned to the module at any given time. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific instructions or consult a Harley-Davidson dealer for assistance. Proper pairing and assignment are critical for the system to correctly identify the user and prevent unauthorized operation. This process is essential for the immobilizer and alarm functions to work correctly‚ offering peace of mind.

Dealing with a Lost or Malfunctioning Fob

Losing or experiencing a malfunctioning key fob can be a stressful situation‚ but the Harley-Davidson Smart Security System offers alternative solutions. If your fob is misplaced or fails‚ you can disarm the system using your Personal Identification Number (PIN). This five-digit PIN‚ which is specific to your motorcycle‚ allows you to bypass the fob requirement. Consult your owner’s manual for detailed instructions on entering your PIN. In cases of irreparable fob damage‚ contact a Harley-Davidson dealer to acquire and pair a new fob to your system.

Disarming the System: PIN and Key Fob Methods

The Harley-Davidson security system offers two primary methods for disarming: using a functional key fob or inputting your personal identification number (PIN) in case of fob issues.

Using the Personal Identification Number (PIN) for Disarming

In situations where your key fob is lost‚ damaged‚ or the battery is depleted‚ the Harley-Davidson security system allows disarming via a five-digit personal identification number (PIN). This PIN is pre-programmed or can be customized. To use the PIN‚ follow the specific sequence outlined in your owner’s manual‚ typically involving the turn signal switches. Entering the correct PIN deactivates the immobilizer and alarm‚ enabling you to start and operate your motorcycle. Remember to consult your manual for the exact steps and safety precautions. It is a crucial backup method.

Disarming with a Functional Key Fob

The primary method for disarming your Harley-Davidson factory security system is using a functional key fob. Ensure the fob’s battery is charged and that it is properly paired with your motorcycle’s security system. To disarm‚ bring the fob within range of the motorcycle; the system should automatically recognize the fob’s unique signal. The turn signal lights may flash‚ or the security light may turn off‚ indicating successful disarming. If the system does not disarm‚ verify the fob’s battery and proximity‚ and consult your owner’s manual for troubleshooting steps to regain control.

Alarm System Behavior and Troubleshooting

This section details the alarm system’s behavior‚ including activation triggers and interpreting alarm signals. Troubleshooting tips are provided to address common issues and ensure proper functionality.

Understanding Alarm Activation Triggers

The Harley-Davidson security system is designed to protect your motorcycle from theft. Several events can trigger the alarm‚ activating the siren and flashing the turn signals. These triggers include unauthorized attempts to start the engine or any significant motion detected while the system is armed. The system differentiates between minor disturbances and genuine threats. It is important to be aware of these triggers to avoid accidental alarm activation. Remember that even with motion sensors disabled‚ attempting to start the engine without the fob will activate the alarm.

Interpreting Alarm Signals (Lights‚ Siren)

When the Harley-Davidson security system alarm is triggered‚ it communicates the event through distinct signals. The primary signals are the activation of the siren and the flashing of the turn signal lamps. Typically‚ the turn signal lamps will flash alternately to draw attention. The siren’s behavior may vary; it might emit a continuous sound or cycle on and off. If the siren is armed and a security event occurs‚ the siren will alarm for a certain amount of time and then turn off for a certain amount of time.

Harley-Davidson Security System Pager

The Harley-Davidson Security System Pager enhances the factory security system by providing remote alerts. It uses FM transmission to relay the motorcycle’s security status to the owner.

Pager II Features and Operation

The Pager II offers advanced FM transmitted paging surveillance‚ monitoring the security system’s operation. LED indicators display unique codes for arming‚ disarming‚ and trigger modes; Setup involves assigning the pager to the security system‚ allowing it to receive alerts when the alarm is activated.
The pager’s operation relies on FM transmission‚ providing real-time notifications.
The Pager II enhances the factory security system by providing remote alerts and status updates‚ ensuring peace of mind for the motorcycle owner.
It is compatible with the Harley-Davidson Factory Security System.

Pager Setup and Range Confirmation

Setting up the Pager II involves pairing it with the Harley-Davidson security system to receive alerts. Range confirmation is crucial to ensure the pager receives signals from the motorcycle. Use the range confirmation signal to verify connectivity‚ ensuring the pager is within the operational radius.
Proper setup guarantees timely notifications‚ enhancing security.
If the range is insufficient‚ reposition the pager or motorcycle for better signal reception.
The range confirmation feature ensures reliable communication between the bike and the pager.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
