PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The TPX™ Laser Jammer and Parking Sensor System is designed
specically for motorcycle use. It is to be used as a standalone system.
When the Transponder detects an incoming laser signal, it automatically
jams the laser gun to prevent a speed reading. The rider is notied of
the signal with the ashing Visual Alert. An audio output jack is provided
for optional integration with a sound/communication system. Brightness,
volume, and power are managed with the Control Switch.
The TPX™ Laser Jammer and Parking Sensor System is waterproof,
vibration proof, and easy to use. It is powered through the bike’s 12V
electrical system and can be upgraded with the latest software releases
via the internet.

USING THE TPX™ MOTORCYCLE LASER JAMMER
AND PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
Warning: Installation of the TPX™ Motorcycle Laser Jammer
and Parking Sensor System should be performed by a qualied
technician. Improper installation may interfere with the safety
and proper operation of the product and/or vehicle.
Mouting the Transponder
The TPX™ Laser Jammer and Parking Sensor System includes two
Transponders to be mounted on the front of the bike. An additional
Transponder for rear protection is available separately.
Use the included Bracket Screws and Brackets to loosely secure the
Transponders as shown in Figure 2.
Warning: Use only the Bracket Screws to secure the Brackets to
the Transponder. Any other screws will damage the Transponder
and void the warranty.
Choose an appropriate location on the front of the motorcycle to mount the
Transponders. The ideal location is usually on the fairing, under the front
headlight. The Transponders will need to be mounted as parallel to the road as
Figure 2
TPX_Manual_180108.indd 8 1/25/19 2:39 PM

9
possible with a clear line of sight straight ahead. They should also be both as
close to the headlightas possible and as far apart from each other as possible.
With the Spirit Level, adjust the Transponder until it is parallel to the ground
and mount the Transponders with Bracket Screws and Bracket Washers,
Mounting Tapes, or other custom mounting method. It is recommended to
have someone sit on the motorcycle to simulate the motorcycle’s actual riding
position while this adjustment is being performed.
Warning: The Jammer Bracket Screws, Jammer Bracket Washers,
and Jammer Bracket Mounting Tapes are included for your
convenience. They will work on most motorcycles. However, all
motorcycles are different and it is your responsibility to determine
the best method of securing the system to your bike. Adaptiv
Technologies, LLC is not responsible for any vehicle damage
resulting from improper mounting.
Since laser is rarely used to target vehicles from behind, one Transponder
should be sufcient for the rear of the vehicle. Additional Transponder and
Transponder License Plate Bracket are available separately.
Mounting the Visual Alert
The Visual Alert is designed to be mounted on any part of the motorcycle
that is easily be seen by the rider. The LEDs should be pointed directly at the
rider’s face.
There are two mounting options for the Visual Alert.
Option 1: Using Double-Sided Adhesive Tape
• Determine an appropriate location for mounting the Visual Alert. The
surface directly above the gauges is an ideal location on many
motorcycles.
• Clean the bottom surface of the Visual Alert and the chosen mounting
surface on the motorcycle with alcohol or mild soap and water. Rinse
with water to remove all traces of soap.
TPX_Manual_180108.indd 9 1/25/19 2:39 PM

10
• Once the surfaces are clean and dry, remove one liner of the Visual Alert
Mounting Tape and apply to the bottom surface of the Visual Alert.
• Remove the other liner of the Visual Alert Mounting Tape and apply the
Visual Alert to the chosen mounting surface on the motorcycle using rm
pressure.
• Allow mounted assembly to sit overnight while tape increases bond strength.
Option 2: Using Cable Ties
• Determine an appropriate location for mounting the Visual Alert.
• Fasten with Cable Ties as shown in Figure 3.
Mounting the Control Switch
• Determine an appropriate location for mounting the Control Switch. The
best location is one that is easily accessible while riding.
• Clean the chosen mounting surface on the motorcycle with alcohol or mild
soap and water. Rinse with water to remove all traces of soap.
• Once the surface is clean and dry, remove the liner of the Control Switch
Mounting Tape and apply the Control Switch to the chosen mounting
surface on the motorcycle with rm pressure.
• Allow to sit overnight while tape increases bond strength.

General
Wire the system according to the wiring diagram in Figure 4.
Secure all loose wires with included Cable Ties.
Power
To provide power to the System, connect the red (+) terminal cable to a 12V,
14Ga-16Ga switched power wire with the provided Female T-Tap Connector.
Connect the black (Ground) cable to a ground.
Warning: If the System is not connected to a 12V power source that
is switched off when the ignition is turned off, it will continue to
draw a small amount of power and could drain the bike’s battery
and/or function improperly.
The TPX™ Laser Jammer and Parking Sensor System is designed
to be powered by a switched 12V power source. If the motorcycle’s
power output is not 12V, a voltage adaptor is required.
