General:

It is so smart that you can communicate with your motorcycle through our 2-Way LCD

System.

Maat APA-1200 is an entirely new approach to motorcycle security. Imagine a two-way

communication between you and your motorcycle. It is designed to report the real time

status of your motorcycle whenever you want or to notify the alert situation to you through

LCD panel Remote automatically. With its complete functions, it can protect your

motorcycle thoroughly from any unexpected situation and you can control or response to

your motorcycle with the LCD panel Remote.

2. Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The full trigger sequence is 30 seconds of constant

siren and flashing parking lights.

3. If the tilt switch is triggered / the closed loop wires of the connection are not in contact / the

ignition is turned on while the system is armed, the full trigger sequence will activate.

Clear The Flash Icon And Melody Sound: While triggering the alarm, the LCD screen will

alert the user through melody sound and flashing trigger icon. Pressing button 3

times within 3 seconds will clear the flash icon and stop the melody sound on the LCD

screen transceiver.

Stop The Melody Sound Only: While triggering the alarm the LCD screen will alert user

transceiver to stop melody sound only.

NOISE ABATEMENT CIRCUIT: Your system has “Noise Abatement Circuit”. It prevents

annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty sensor or environmental condition

such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

Here’s how “Noise Abatement Circuit” works: The alarm (full trigger) triggers five times

while warn-away trigger triggers 20 times. Each time the same sensor or switch is

triggering the alarm, “Noise Abatement Circuit” will interpret this pattern of triggers as

false alarm. After the fifth trigger of full trigger or 20th trigger of warn-away trigger, “Noise

Abatement Circuit” ignores, or by-passes that sensor or switch until the other sensor or

switch is triggered.

This feature is not applicable to the Tilt Sensor.

O. SYSTEM’S TRIGGER CHECK (For two-way transceiver operation only)

Press the transceiver button first, within 3 seconds, press I (C) button. It

responds with one melody sound and all trigger’s records will immediately be

S. POWER ON MEMONRY

This security system is equipped with circuitry that will allow the unit to remember its alarm state

if the power is lost and then reconnected.

T. POWER SAVE MODE FOR MOTORCYCLE’S POWER

If the motorcycle is not driven within 12 hrs or the security system doesn’t activate by remote

control within 12hrs, the security system will automatically turn on power save mode. While in

power save mode, the security system uses approach “0” current to save the motorcycle’s

battery power.
