Motorcycle Alarm No.1

This diagram shows how to connect an indicator LED to the trigger switches of Motorcycle Alarm No.1 If the LED is lighting - you know that at least one of the trigger switches is closed. So the alarm will activate if you turn it on. If the LED is not lighting - you know that all of the switches are open - and it's safe to turn the alarm on.

This diagram shows how to connect an indicator LED to the trigger switches of Motorcycle Alarm No.4 If the LED is lighting - you know that at least one of the trigger switches is closed. So the alarm will activate if you turn it on. If the LED is not lighting - you know that all of the switches are open - and it's safe to turn the alarm on.

Add An LED To Each Switch

This diagram shows how to connect a separate indicator LED to each of the trigger switches. If an LED is lighting - you know that its corresponding trigger switch is closed. So the alarm will activate if you turn it on. But if all the LEDs are off - you know that all of the switches are open - and it's safe to turn the alarm on.

The drawing shows three switches - but the pattern should be clear. There's a resistor and LED connected between "A" and each individual switch. There's also a diode connected between "B" and each of the switches.

Add A Separate LED
For Each Trigger Switch

Since each of the switches is likely to be connected to a "local" earth - there may be no connections to terminal "C". In the case of Motorcycle Alarm No.3 - "A" should be connected to the 12-volt input terminal (not shown) - situated at the top right-hand side of the circuit board.
