Step 1 — Preparing for an install ¶
-
Locate a switched 12VDC power source (on/off with ignition).
-
Identify your motorcycle's color code for power, ground, turn signals and brake signal wires.
-
Select a clean surface on a motorcycle to install VoloMOD.
Step 3 — Make the power connection ¶
-
Connect VoloMOD black wire (#4) to the motorcycle's ground using the posi-tap connector.
-
Connect VoloMOD red wire (#5) to the motorcycle's switched 12V using the posi-tap connector.
Step 4 — Check VoloMOD powers up ¶
-
Once installed, switch the motorcycle to the ON position and check for the start up sequence shown in the video.
Step 5 — Install the output wires to the turn signals ¶
-
Instructions on how to use Posi-lok connectors can be found here.
-
Identify the turn signals wires and cut them in two
-
Make connections as shown in the schematic.
Step 6 — Checking the signal connection ¶
-
Check the output connection by tilting VoloMOD slowly until the first trigger point is met; continue tilting until the second trigger point is met as shown in the video.
Step 7 — Brake signal input ¶
-
Connect the orange wire from the VoloMOD to the brake signal of the motorcycle with a posi-tap connector
Step 8 — Check brake signal input ¶
-
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.
Step 11 — Change sensitivity or mode (optional) ¶
-
There are three sensitivity settings on the VoloMOD

I think it'd be more effective to demo how the tail lights and turn signals interact if you used a demo bike with more conventional turn signals, instead of the integrated units.

In step 4, the wiring directions don't include any annotation for the orange wire, which is to be connected to the brake light, according to the wiring diagram.
