Thank you for purchasing BulletProof Electronics’ ARSE (Automated Recognition System Electronics) keyless ignition switch. It is relatively easy to install for a technician with a general understanding of motorcycle electric systems. The most difficult part of installing this unit will be taking the seat to an upholstery shop to have the antenna installed. The ARSE acts as a key switch would so it is wired into a harness in a manner similar to a key switch. There are several important differences between a standard key switch and the ARSE however. The ARSE requires the Starter Button, Kill Switch and Starter Motor Relay/Bendix to be wired to it. Therefore you will have several additional wires that a key switch would not normally have. Basic Operation of the ARSE The ARSE system consists of 3 components:
To operate the ARSE, place the transponder in your wallet or back pocket. Sit on the motorcycle so that the transponder is near the seat antenna. Press the starter button. This will turn on the recognition system. The antenna will activate the transponder card in your wallet. The transponder will reply with its unique 80 bit digital code. The recognition system will read this code and compare it to the bikes code. If the two codes match exactly, the bikes ignition system will be turned on and following a 3 second delay, the starter motor will be engaged. After the 3 second delay the starter motor stays engaged as long as the starter button is pressed. Once the bike is started, the transponder is not needed to start the bike again until the bike has been shut down with the engine kill switch. The 3 second delay is a safety and function feature which lets the operator look for the neutral light before the starter engages, as well as letting a fuel injection system initialize and pressurize itself. Placement of the Seat Antenna The seat antenna should be situated near the back of the seat where it would be closest to the operator’s wallet or back pocket. The antenna needs a minimum of 2” of clearance from any metal such as the seat pan and back fender. As with any Radio Frequency device, metal can act as a shield which can limit range. It is important to place the antenna in a manner such that it is as far from metal as possible. On most bikes there should be sufficient room to tuck the antenna in a pocket made in the seat foam. The seat foam pocket should be ¼” to ½” below the top of the seat. This will ensure that the antenna is not felt when a person is seated on it. The antenna coax should be routed through the bottom of the seat so that it is not pinched when the seat is attached. A ½” hole drilled into the seat pan should be big enough to pass the coax through the bottom of the seat. The coax is approximately 4ft long. This should provide enough length so that when the seat is removed for service or access, it can be placed alongside the bike without needing to disconnect the antenna coax from the control module. When placing the seat on the bike, make sure the coax is not pinched by the seat. On a bike with a plastic seat, we suggest mounting under the seat. Glue the antenna to the underside of the seat. Note that placing the card dead center on the antenna for testing before installation in the seat, may not work. Hold the card a few inches above the antenna and to one side, or wave across the antenna to test. Placement of the Control Module The control module can be placed anywhere that is convenient on the bike so long as it is not subjected to exhaust heat or extreme engine heat. Although the control module is thermally protected, if it is subjected to extreme heat it can be damaged or its range can be decreased. It is best hidden out of view so that the bike will have a clean appearance and provide an invisible starting mechanism. Typical placement is done in the electrical compartment or battery box. The unit is hermetically sealed so it is resistant to water, oil and grease. Troubleshooting
