Step 8 Check brake signal input This motorcycle uses an integrated lights. (Brake lights and turn signals). In other motorcycles, only the turn signals will flash. In Full Installation, VoloMOD includes a feature that flashes the brake output once a second while any brake is applied. Test this feature by applying brakes and confirm the output flashes once a second. Step 9 Check turn signal In the instance you are braking and signaling a turn simultaneously, the turn signal will override VoloMOD's slow flash. The once a second flash feature is automatically disabled when a turn signal is active. Test this by activating a turn signal. 2017 install.vololights.com Page 7 of 10
Step 10 Secure VoloMOD Remove velcro backing and affix velcro onto surface. IMPORTANT! Ensure that the arrow is pointing towards the front of the motorcycle. VoloMOD will not function properly in the opposite direction. Surface grade should be less than 45 degrees. Avoid "negative slope" i.e sloping back towards the motorcycle. 2017 install.vololights.com Page 8 of 10
Step 11 Change sensitivity or mode (optional) There are three sensitivity settings on the VoloMOD This step is optional. To change the setting, click here. The default setting, 1.5 m/s^2 or 3.35 mph/s and is recommended for most motorcycles. The Touring settings, 1 m.s^2 or 2.24 mph/s and is recommended for larger motorcycles. The Sports settings, 2 m/s^2 or 4.5 mph/s and is recommended for high compression sports motorcycles. Step 12 Calibration IMPORTANT: Calibration must be performed on a level surface with the motorcycle in an upright position. With the power ON, introduce the magnet to VoloMOD at the EMBOSSED MAGNET AREA. Note the flash sequence. Remove magnet at the first flash while keeping motorcycle upright and still for 5 seconds. Note the flash sequence shown in the video. 2017 install.vololights.com Page 9 of 10
