meta alarm manual

anyone know where i can get a manual for my meta alarm. i bought the bike with it fitted. but it did come with the book of answers. is there a web site with them all as pdf's or would someone out there photo-copy one for me, and send them a luvverly tin of pop.
[email]keithg@rmiworld.com[/email] and i'll give you the model no. its driving me mad.
oh meta could easily be the the worst company trading if their customer service is any thing to judge by.

I've got the instructions for a Meta M351 if they're any use to you?

thanks FF, i have a cbr 600 bout a year old, that sounds like it.
if not i'm pretty sure all the usual on/off commands will be the same.
is it many pages? could you be arsed to stat it for me? and i'll send you a beer. one cheeky question how do you put the bike into 'valet' mode?
ive tried keys to on hold the button down till it pips then.......oh bugger its gone off after 30 seconds.. help

I've got a 357t and on that a single press sets the immobiliser,hotwire sensing and movement alarm, this is confirmed by two beeps. If you press and hold the button untill you hear 3 beeps then you've set the immobiliser and hotwire sensing , but not the movement alarm. If you don't press anything when you've switched off your bike, approx 40 seconds later it will set just the immobiliser, accompanied by 1 beep.

HTH.

There's no emoticon for what I'm feeling!

No booklet with mine, just a little info card. So here's what it says:-

META M351 Alarm/Immobiliser

Current consumption
Armed 10mA
Disarmed – 6.5mA

Passive Arming
The immobilisation circuits only will arm automatically 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off. This is confirmed by 2 x audible signals. The LED will also begin to flash

De-Activation
Pressing the transmitter for 1 second will switch the complete system off. If the ignition is not switched on the immobilisation will automatically re-arm in 45 seconds

Alarm and Immobilisation Arming
With the system completely disarmed, pressing the transmitter for 1 second will arm the alarm and immobiliser. This is confirmed by 2 audible and visual signals. The LED will begin to flash

Self-Test
If any of the alarm trigger circuits are active during the arming period, the alarm will confirm this by 4 x audible signals. Disarm the system, check the machine is secure and re-arm the system

Alarm Test
During the first 25 seconds of the alarm being armed, the system can be tested by operating any of the alarm circuits. Confirmation that the alarm has received a trigger signal is shown by a 0.8 second activation of the alarm siren and the hazard lights

Arming Mode 2
If required it is possible to arm the system without the inclusion of the movement sensor. Press and hold the transmitter button. The normal arming signal will be followed within a couple of seconds by 2 x audible signals. On resetting the system the movement sensor will be automatically re-activated

Location
With the system disarmed, pressing the transmitter button for 6 seconds will activate the siren and hazard lights for 14 seconds of operation, after which the system will be placed in the arming mode 2

Alarm Warning
If the system is triggered, on disarming there will be the normal disarm signal followed by a very short audible signal. The LED will flash as follows:-
Movement sensor – 1 flash every 6 seconds
Switch sensor – 2 flashes every 6 seconds
Accessory Loop/Battery back up – 4 flashes
Ignition sensor – 8 flashes



WTF is valet mode? Mine's lucky to get a wash I'm guessing you mean it can be moved but not started? That'll be Arming Mode 2

you are a diamond. thanks so much mate, really appreciate your time to tap all that out.
again thanks.

No worries mate, just don't lose it

Do you need to 'reintroduce' the fob to the alarm? There's usually a routine to 'register' the fob with the alarm once the whole thing has been disconnected.

IIRC it involved pressing and holding the fob button for 30 seconds or some such. (That was on a Spyball though).

:burnout: thanks all,,, i will try holding 4 ...30 second...thanks.. tryed did not work will put some new bateries in ad try agan......and the kill switch is ok.but both fobs not work..dont think its the batteries but will try....is ther not a flasher thing ..u count the indicator flashers..or some thing like that...a service manual might say it

Hmm..a bit in the dark really. A quick trawl around the web wasn't much help...apart from finding a few people with exactly the same problem - but no posted solutions.

Has it got an internal back-up battery? When my Spyball went berserk after the dealer disconnected the bike battery to do some wiring...they ended up leaving the battery disconnected for a couple of days (to flatten the back-up battery so that the alarm reset...and then 'reregistered' the plipper. It sounded like hocus pocus to me but it worked).

Do you have the red plastic square with the code on it - you need to turn the ignition key on and off in relation to the number of flashes on the LED, - to the same number on the red plastic card that comes with the alarm - then you press the fob at a certain point to recode it. It's a right faff though and takes a great deal of patience to get it right.

I have the instructions here to do it if you want me to scan them - but you need the red plastic card with the code on.

Also - the unit goes into sleep mode - mine did this - just put the key in the ignition - turn it on then off - this "wakes" the system and the fob should work.

I had a problem with mine - the batteries lasted about a week, so had to keep taking them out - ended up buying a new fob ( £40 ) which is when I discovered the joys of recoding

Whoah. When my alarm got taken over by the devil there was no programming it by the flashes or beeps. The thing had completely lost it as far as the plipper was concerned. (I'll pass over the time it kept immobilising while I was riding the bike )

Have you got it back to 'install status' and flattened the back-up battery?

Have you tried getting in touch with Meta?

hi....contacted a meta man (who fits them) suggested to take both fuses out so as to flatten meta battery...did this for about.12 +hrs..this did not work .alarm the same..so......as the weather was nice.....too the alarm off....now bike works fine....dont think i will buy a meta alarm...ever...end of problem

Would never buy or recommend a Meta.

Crap documentation with the alarm and very bad aftersales service from meta uk.
