Main Features Expl ained
• Digital Tilt Sensor
When armed, system records bike inclination on two separate axis. If bike is
then tilted ±3° or more on either axis, the siren will be triggered. Note that the
siren may trigger even when bike has not been tilted due to the shock sensor.
• 2-Stage Shock Sensor
When armed, system can be set to trigger Warning Chirps and/or Full Siren
Blast based on the level of shock to the bike. Sensor 1st and 2nd stage triggers
are user-adjustable, and either setting or both can be turned completely off.
• Starter Immobilizer
Used to cut ignition or fuel lines when system is Armed (optional in Sleep).
• Panic Siren
Allows siren to be activated via transmitter to alert others in an emergency.
• Sleep Mode
Shuts down most functions to conserve power. Useful to prevent battery
drain when bike not used for extended periods. Also acts as a Valet mode.
• Silent Mode
Disables full siren blast (allows Warning and Conrmation chirps). Useful in
combination with optional pager to learn of threats without alerting thief.
• Manual Disarm
Enables you to disarm the system without the transmitter simply by turning
the ignition key on/off a certain number times (a number which you program).
• Auto Arm
Automatically arms system 5 min. after ignition goes off. Auto Arm cannot be
disabled; however, you can control which sensors are active during Auto Arm.
• Sector Bypass System (SBS)
Prevents siren from becoming a public nuisance. Shock, tilt or ignition sensors
will be individually bypassed if they trigger 5 times. You can disable this feature.
• Siren Trigger Memory
When you disarm, system informs you (via siren chirps and LED ashes) if
the siren went off in your absence.

Instal l ation
WARNING! Never route security system wires in a way that would im-
pede safe operation of the vehicle in which you are installing. Ensure
the operator of the vehicle cannot become tangled in security system wires
or otherwise be hindered in a way that could cause a trafc accident. Take
time to ensure all wiring is connected, mounted and covered so that electri-
cal shorts will not occur. As the installer, you are responsible to verify the
safety of your work.
Before You Begin
POINTS TO CONSIDER:
This system is only intended for use in vehicles with 12v batteries.
The 5-pin Alarm Unit main wiring connector
(pictured at right) which mates with the included
Installation Harness is waterproof but the other
two (smaller) connectors are not waterproof. Pro-
tect the smaller 2-pin connectors from water.
If you need to disconnect the battery, rst disconnect
Alarm Unit wiring harness at the connector, and then
disconnect the battery. In some rare cases, disconnecting
the battery rst can result in the loss of learned transmitter
memory, in which case you must re-learn your transmitters.
When operating the 866F, if you see smoke or detect some abnormal
operation, immediately discontinue using the system and consult with
the vendor who sold you the CYCLONE system.
In cases where the bike is not driven for an extended period (greater
than 2 weeks) or in the event the battery voltage is already very low,
it is strongly suggested to either use SLEEP mode or start the engine
from time to time to ensure the battery does not die. You may also wish
to check the battery voltage now and then if you have other 3rd party
electronics installed.
If the battery dies or the voltage level drops very low, the 866F may not
have adequate voltage to function properly. In this case, you will not
be able to start the engine (due to the immobilizer) until the battery is
re-charged.

CYCLONE 866F OWNER’S GUIDE
Ensure the battery is connected and the Installation Harness is
properly installed.
Plug the Installation Harness connector into the 5-pin Alarm
Unit main wiring connector. Note that the full alarm blast will go
off when the connection is made. Press button-1 on the transmitter (for
about 1 sec.) to stop the siren sound. The siren will then chirp 3 times
to conrm the system is disarmed. (If you later need to disconnect the
vehiclebattery,remembertorstdisconnecttheAlarmUnitmainwiring
connector and then you may proceed with disconnecting the battery.)
Consider a mounting location for the 866F alarm unit somewhere
inside the seat. Keep in mind that your mounting location may impact
the range of the transmitter. If you later nd the transmitter range to
be inacceptable, you will need to relocate the 866F alarm unit. For this
reason it may be best to avoid afxing the 2-sided tape or the wire ties
until you have conrmed that the transmitter range is acceptable. (In-
cluded tape is useful for at-surface mounting, while the wire ties are
for mounting the alarm unit on a support bar.)

NOTE: The installation described in this manual does not cover details of
connectingthe“universal”or“bikespecic”InstallationHarness.Please
consult the manual that came with your installation harness for details.
Once the installation harness is installed, you may then complete the in-
stallation by following the steps below.
Connecting & Mounting the Alarm Unit
CAUTIONARY POINTS:
Although the 866F alarm unit is waterproof, it should not be submerged
in water. Make certain the installation location is not in an area that
water will collect around the alarm unit. Install only in locations that
are sheltered from the outside elements (such as within the seat).
Do not leave the 866F mounted in locations with condensing humid-
ity, high temperatures, and/or a high concentration of dust or airborne
particles.

Instal l ation


Note: Mounting the 866F alarm unit on its side (with the siren facing
to the side instead of straight up) may cause sensitivity problems for
the onboard tilt sensor. Prior to mounting, it is recommended that you
rst test the operation of the tilt sensor to conrm it will work in your
intended mounting position. To help you decide an appropriate mount-
ing position, please consider Fig. 1 below.

SIREN FACING DOWN
Positioning the alarm unit for maximum tilt sensitivity
FIG. 1
As shown, the tilt sensor achieves maximum sensitivity when the siren
is mounted face-up. Sensitivity declines rapidly for tilt angles outside
the ±45° shown (on two axis).
For some bikes, vertical mounting may be the only means of installing
the alarm unit. In this case the tilt sensor may still work, but the sen-
sitivity will be adversely affected. This may or may not be acceptable to
the user. However, you must avoid mounting the alarm unit face down
because it may cause the tilt sensor to false-trigger the siren.
Now it’s time to connect the Status LED. Note
that there are two “2-pin” connectors on end of the
alarm unit harness. The larger of the two, with or-
ange & black wires, is for connecting to the optional
pager system. The smaller connector, with red & blue
wires, is the one you plug into the LED connector.
