COMPONENTS
1-SWITCH: In ON position (up) circuit is activated and perform its function. In OFF position (down) circuit is deactivated, lights will behave as LightMatic wouldn't be installed. It's shipped in ON position by default.
2-TIMER: allows setting elapsed time between engine star and lights on , from 0 to 12 seconds. If you turn it clockwise, time is increased. Counter-clockwise, it decreases. It's shipped in 3 seconds by default.
3-RED LED: when lit, indicates that key is in contact position, but lights circuit is still deactivated. It will keep on lit til engine starts and time defined by timer has passed..
4-GREEN LED: when lit, indicates that circuit is activated and lights are on.
You can also opt to leave off the sensor and thus the device will work just like a timer on the sensor while it is what differentiates LightMatic other relays or timers that already exist in the market.
LightMatic incorporates an internal switch that will disconnect the system completely and leave the bike exactly as it was originally. However, you can mount an external switch accessible anywhere at the time of the facility that will fulfill the same function. This would be particularly useful in case of failure of the circuit or any other situation where you want to return to the original lighting system. It also has two diodes LED status indicators..
Its reduced dimensions (80x60x40mm) allow its easy installation in any free space of your motorbike.
Is LightMatic just a relay?
LightMatic is not only a light relay, is something else. The battery suffers its biggest effort in the motor starting and then, without time to recover, has to turn halogen lights on (2 bulbs in most of models). LightMatic will wait some seconds (user programmable) before turning lights on, time enough to let battery's recover and to start alternator's job. In this way, we'll avoid possible failures trying to turn lights on, i. e., when motor doesn't start or just stop, lights will remain off. Using just a relay, lights would be turning on and off with every attempt to start de engine, so the problem we are trying to solve would remain exactly the same.
LightMatic maintains the high beam headlights off with the ignition on. A sensor constantly will test whether the engine is running. Once started the engine and only after that time, a timer, which can be easily programmed from 0 to 60 seconds, will begin its countdown, time after which the device will activate the circuit of the high beam headlights.
