2 Exclusion of Liability
THE MO.LOCK OPERATES STRONG CURRENTS. FAULTY CONNECTION MAY LEAD TO
CABLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION OF THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY. THERE IS A RISK OF SERI-
OUS OR LETHAL INJURIES. A MAIN VEHICLE FUSE (MAXIMUM 40A) MUST BE USED.
THE DEVICE AND ITS ACCESSORIES MUST BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED MOTOR-
CYCLE TECHNICAN AND IN AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. REVERSE POLARITY
OR VOLTAGE ABOVE 25V MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE MO.LOCK. THE DEVICE
THEN HAS TO BE REPLACED AND ALL CLAIMS OF WARRANTY ARE DELETED.

SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE, INSTALLA-
TION OR CONNECTION OF THE DEVICE OR OTHER DELIVERED EQUIPMENT. THIS
EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY PARTICULARLY INCLUDES DAMAGE TO PERSONS,
MATERIAL LOSSES AND FINANCIAL DAMAGES.

DEVICE HOUSINGS AND ALL OTHER DELIVERED PARTS MUST NOT BE OPENED
OR DISMANTLED. IN CASE OF NON-COMPLIANCE, ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS
BECOMES INVALID. THE USE OF THE DELIVERED DEVICE AND ITS ACCESSO-
RIES FOR RACING OR OTHER COMPETITIONS AS WELL AS FOR ANY USE NOT
CORRESPONDING TO THE RECOMMENDED APPLICATION ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS
SHALL BE INVALID.
3 Safety Instructions
• THE VEHICLE BATTERY MUST BE COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO ANY
WORK ON THE VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FIRST, DISCONNECT THE NEGA-
TIVE TERMINAL AND THEN THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. FOR RECONNECTION
PROCEED IN THE REVERSE ORDER.
• USING THE MO.LOCK WITH PLUS POLE CONNECTED TO VEHICLE FRAME (OLDER
ENGLISH MOTORCYCLES) IS NOT POSSIBLE.
• INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE MO.LOCK MAY ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT BY A CERTIFIED MOTORCYCLE TECHNICIAN.
• ALL CABLE DIAMETERS MUST BE DIMENSIONED ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT
FLOW.
• ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN THE WIRING LOOM AND AT THE CONNECTION
TERMINALS HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT PROFESSIONALLY. FAILURES AT CONNECT-
ING JOINTS MAY CAUSE A CONTACT RESISTANCE AND LEAD TO HEAT GENERATION
DURING HIGH CURRENT FLOW. THERE IS A RISK OF SERIOUS OR LETHAL INJURIES.

• THE DEVICE WILL BECOME DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR IF A BATTERY CABLE IS
DISCONNECTED (DUE TO LOOSE OR WORN CONTACT ETC.) WHILE THE ENGINE
IS RUNNING. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY IS CONNECTED
CORRECTLY AND THAT THE CONNECTOR CABLES ARE FIXED TIGHTLY.
4 Registration obligation
According to the regulations of the respective country, a steering wheel lock may be required
by law. If there are no ignition locks with an integrated steering wheel lock, a separate lock
may have to be carried along as anti-theft device and an entry made in the vehicle documents.

7 Mechanical attachment
The mo.lock will be attached to the supplied bracket with an M3 screw.
The bracket can be mounted to the vehicle using two M4 screws (10mm distance) on a flat
surface. Alternatively, the mo.lock can be attached to a self-made bracket with an M3 screw.
No tensile or compressive stresses must act on the housing, otherwise the housing may
break.
The switching distance between the mo.lock and the key is max. 40mm.
Any electrically non-conductive material can between mo.lock and key. Thus the mo.lock can
be hidden behind plastic covers or other plastic parts to be invisible from outside.
The mounting location must be protected against spray water and at least 20cm away from
high-voltage ignintion parts or hot motor and exhaust parts. The maximum outside tempera-
ture during operation must not exceed +80°C and -20°C.
The plastic housing must not be altered. Guarantee or warranty claims in the event of me-
chanical damage are render invalid.

8 Electrical connection
The mo.lock is suitable for 12V on-board networks in which battery minus is connected to the
vehicle frame. Operation on vehicles without a battery is not possible.
The cross-section of the mo.lock connection cable is at least 0.5mm². 5mm of insulation is
stripped from the connection cable and plugged into the terminal strip, using a screwdriver
blade to push-in the orange button on the terminal.
The mo.lock BAT output is connected via the fuse to the positive battery pole, the GND output
is connected to vehicle ground. The switching output on the middle terminal provides +12V
with a continuous current of 7A when the mo.lock is activated. This output is connected to the
supplied relay, which switches the on-board voltage, fused with 40A. A cable cross-section of
at least 5mm² must be used here. Refer the schematic below.
When used with the mo.unit, the switching output is connected directly to the mo.unit input
LOCK. Refer the mo.unit instruction manual.
When starting large engines, high current flow and voltage drop in the vehicle electrical system
may cause the relay to drop. In this case motogadget item no. 4002002, which is connected to
relay contacts 85 and 86 solve the issue.
BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR A SAFE FUNCTION IS AN INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSED
IGNITION SYSTEM. SUPPRESSED SPARK PLUG CAP OR IGNITION WIRE MUST BE
USED. THE DISTANCE FROM MO.LOCK TO THE IGNITION COIL AND IGNITION CA-
BLES MUST BE AT LEAST 20CM.

9 How it works
The mo.lock works on the basis of NFC technology.
The ignition lock sends electromagnetic pulses, which the key can use to send back its iden-
tifier. Therefore the key does not need an internal battery.
The mo.lock penetrates electrically non-conductive material and can sofore be integrated
hidden into the vehicle (e.g. behind a side cover). Also the key can be sewn into the glove,
for example. Material between the mo.lock and the key may reduce the switching distance.
In order to prevent vehicle battery from discharging during the winter break, we recommend
disconnecting the ground pole of the battery from the vehicle.
10 How to use
When the key approaches the active surface of the mo.lock, the on-board voltage is switched
on, which is displayed by a green status LED. When approaching again, on-board voltage
will be switched off, then the status LED is also off. A waiting time of 2s between these two
switching operations is required.
If the mo.lock is not used for more than 16 hours, it enters power-saving mode, after further 8
days it goes into a sleep mode.
The key must then be brought close to the lock for a period of 2 seconds in order to trigger a
switching process.
