Hannigan Trike Alarm System?

[First_N_Last]

I'm starting another Trike Thread.

This one is about installing an Alarm System on a Hannigan Trike.

Has anyone already installed One? If so, please share!

 

My plan is to buy an alarm with motion, shock/vibration & proximity sensing.

 

My Trike is looking nice & I'd hate to have it messed up by an evil person without them being noticed.

 

Ideas?

I installed a alarm from this company ( http://www.internatrix.com/ ) about three years ago. It is very reasonable and works great. It has the adjustable shock sensor and a proximity sensor as stock. I mounted the proximity sensor under the plastic seat pan (it can sense thru plastic, I doubt it would thru steel). The proximity sensor goes off if anyone leans over the bike too close or leans in to mess with the dash area. By "looking" mostly up, the proximity sensor doesnt' get upset by crowded parking areas with people walking by. The shock sensor can be set at different levels to suit your needs and paranoia. The key fob remote is two way paging and lets you know if the bike is OK while you are in the restaraunt or hotel. The other features of this alarm are really handy and work as programmed.

 

I have no connection with this company, just a satisfied customer with the product and with the service I received when I have questions.

Step one accomplished.

 

I bought the Alarm System.

It is a Spy 2-Way Pager Remote Start Alarm System - LM209

 

• Two way range over 5000 meters (reality - maybe 1000)
  
• Super long range monitoring
  
• Timer Controlled Remote Engine Starter (won't use)
  
• microwave proximity sensor
  
• shock sensor
  

• ultra-long FSK communication range

• two way range over 5000m

• remote query functions

• visual, audio and vibration alert remote control

• arm / disarm bike finding

• Frequency : 2.5GHz +/- 1GHz

• Detection Range Sensitivity MAX : Width 2100mm, Length 1200mm

• Built-in 2-way pager

• Powerful 120dB Piezo 5-tone programmable siren

• Learning code Brain sensor

• 100% waterproof (proximity sensor is not)

• Sound & LED warning light

• Anti-Hijacking Function

• Remote Start Engine

• Car-finding by Sound & Light

• Remote cut off Engine

• Converts lead to gold

• Arm Reminder

• Learning Code & Deleting Code

• Back-Ground Light

• Power Off Memory

• Input Voltage : 9-15V

 

Two remotes

• 2-way long range FM transmission

• Four button with LCD display

• Status info display

• real time clock

• real time moto / alarm status

• LCD backlight

• visual, audio and vibration alert

• Function confirmation

 

The install will be next.

I plan on...

- installing controller in CB case

- siren bolted to bottom of CB case

- proximity sensor under rider seat

Gee...

 

No one read the alarm specs, it seems.

[Cougar]

Looks interesting John. let us know how that goes for you and take lots of pics

for $89 thats not to bad.

Thanks,

Jeff

[Jayceesfolly]

I read the specs...............what is your address? I have about 50 lbs I want to send to you to convert! :mo money:

That is so great!

I'll let you know if that option works after I receive the kit.

I can't wait to try it also. How much does a pound of lead cost these days?

[First_N_Last]

For anyone wondering...

I had inserted an additional joke specification into my list of specs.

"converts lead to gold"

Just to see if anyone reads them.

[ragtop69gs]

I must have read right past it I have a lot of lead too.

[bongobobny]

Hmmmm, which weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of gold...

[Cougar]

1oz. of gold weighs 31.083333333333333333 grams approx.

and

1 oz. of lead weighs 28.349523 grams approx.

so

16oz. gold weighs 497.3333333333333333 grams

and

16oz.lead weighs 453.59237 grams

[Cougar]

John, a pound of lead these days is worth $7.99

[bongobobny]

WOW!! There ARE two worlds!!!

I've planned my install & here is a description:

 

 

SPY 5000m ________ Royal Star Venture

Alarm Wiring _______ Motorcycle Wiring

---------------------------------------------------------

Red ----------------- Battery +

Black ---------------- Battery -

Black w/ring --------- Chassis/Frame

Brown -------------- Tied to Alarm Red - changed - now connects to accessary power

Blue ---------------- Taped - Not Used

Pink ---------------- Taped - Not Used

Gray Sidestand Switch voltage side

Yellow Running Lights

Yellow (2) Tied to other Alarm Yellow

==============================================

 

SPY 5000m _________ Royal Star Venture

Alarm Component ____ Motorcycle Location

-----------------------------------------------------------

Control Unit ---------- Bottom of CB case

Siren ---------------- Bottom of CB case

LED ----------------- Not planning on using

Microwave Sensor ---- Under passenger seat

Remote Start (Blue) -- Not using

Disabler (Gray) ------- Sidestand Switch

==============================================

There it is - my plan. Any comments, questions or suggestions

 

Sadly... I've discovered that this alarm will not convert "Lead into Gold".

Damn!

changed wiring

[Cougar]

You still have your side stand on the Trike?

why ya wiring to it

Thanks for the ideas.

The sidestand switch wiring is designed to put a ground to a matrix of diodes that disable the starter, ignition & fuel pump.

 

The gray wire should place a ground when the alarm is activated to disable drive-ability & efectively shutting down the bike. I believe the remote even has a button to activate a shutdown.

 

Even though the sidestand is removed, the wiring should be there.

 

This is a simpler less "cutting" method of disabling ignition, than wiring pink & gray on sides of cut key-switched 12v to ignition.

I started the install yesterday & got to wiring it up & testing it out.

 

The kill line to the kickstand switch is not wired yet - ran out of time.

 

Everything else connected as planned except for the BROWN wire.

The BROWN wire must be switched 12v by the key.

I connected it to the accessory line & the system works fine.

It won't function if tied to the RED as I had planned.

 

Pictures will be posted after I get the KILL wired & functioning.

[First_N_Last]

as planned, I mounted all the major components to the bottom of the CB case...

 

 

The motion sensor is mounted under the passenger seat.

However, The alarm (so far) seems to be excellent except for the motion sensor.

I'm not happy with the sensor because it is not wide enough in its range & sensitivity.

It requires continuous motion to activate. I like/want what the DEI dual-zone sensor does.

I will be ordering a DEI model to use in a short while to enable alarm if you just stand too close.

[First_N_Last]

...just ordered a "905311 Clifford Dual Zone Proximity Sensor "

from Amazon for $21.36 delivered.

 

This is a proximity type detector which should alarm warn if broken

& then full alarm if persisted.

UPDATE

 

The Clifford/DEI sensor didn't perform as I wanted for a Proximity Alarm, so I am sending it back.

For $5 more I am getting a DEI 508d. I have used this device in at least six other installs.

 

I'll be cutting the 508d harness & soldering to the SPY harness.

There are four wires in the wiring harness that comes with the sensor.

 

Here is the 508d harness wiring...

Red: (+)12V

Black: (-) chassis ground

Green: (-) First-stage Warn-Away output

Blue: (-) Second-stage trigger output

 

I will be using only grnd, 12+ & frst or second-stage trigger.

The SPY only supports a single motion trigger.

I was just looking at the spy 5000m motorcycle alarm for my 84 Gen 1 since I will be taking it on long hauls this summer.

 

2 questions:

 

1 How easy (or difficult) was the installation

2 How do you like the unit?

 

I've been looking for the installation manual online with no luck. By any chance you wouldn't happen to have a scanned copy of it?

[Nemo]

Salty Dog, I'm using your reply about enjoying your security system by InterNatrix so I bought one for my Venture Trike. I got the model TW-1000 for $169.00. Now if this weather ever warms up, I'll get it installed and then let everyone know my opinion of it also. From just reading the owners manual, it looks to be a very precise, fool proof instrument. Also, very good installation instructions.

1 - Easy as any other alarm install

2 - Great unit except for Motion Sensor - sensor range is not wide enough.

 

No regrets though - better than other Motorcycle alarms I've installed (2 others).

I've been very busy & also am getting ready for vacation.

If you haven't gotten a copy of the manual by my return. I'll scan it for you then.

Thanks John. I found it online. I figure with this & my bike schematics I'll be good to go.

The only thing I have decided is not to connect is the remote start. I think connecting that would be useless on a carburated bike with a manual choke!

 

Thanks again
