CAT1 - Thatcham's Category 1, the highest specification there is, probably in the world, for motorcycle security.
The newest Thatcham-approved product. Acumen's TEMPEST CAT1.1 has class-leading 1.8mA current draw (substantially less when in sleep mode) and is the smallest Thatcham CAT1 alarm available today - so it intrudes less on any space you may have. So it's easier to fit in those hard-to-reach places, making it harder for any thief to access it and beat it.
Fitted to your motorcycle by one of our designated engineers. We come to you - home or work (not available for Wales, or north of the Glasgow-Edinburgh Area)
3 year warranty - extendable to 5 years! Details with alarm purchase.
Founded in 1997, Acumen remains the UK's only independent manufacturer of Thatcham-spec motorcycle alarms. Acumen is great believer that while "Sales sells the first, service sells the second". To that end they are committed to giving the best back-up there is in the market today.
NOTE! Do you need a CAT1? You may only need the CAT21 which is smaller and cheaper. If you have a late Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki with an approved on-board immobilser the CAT21 is all you need.
NOTE! We will not sell the Thatcham products without them being fitted. The price shown here reflects this and is a fitted price.
The TEMPEST CAT1 Thatcham-approved system;
- The Ultimate Category 1 professionally fitted alarm featuring:New Super-Hetreodyne receiver technology for less chance of key fob 'swamping' by background-radio noise.New lightweight key fob - as well as one Flip-Fob for key conversions.
- Totally waterproof resin encapsulated electronics and waterproof Automotive-specification connectors rated to IP67 for ultimate reliability.
- Resists jet washing and water to a depth of 1 metre! Acumen are STILL the only alarm manufacturer to use waterproof connectors. You wouldn't dream of seeing a motorcycle manufacturer use non-waterproof connectors on the motorcycle Engine management system, so why accept non-waterproof connectors on an alarm/immobiliser system?
- THREE sirens. yes, 3. One siren for what is probably the loudest Thatcham system, and two back-up sirens in case the primary siren is attacked. the Secondary, back-up, sirens are behind a metal plate for added security and also have their own driver circuit for added reliability.
- Key fob transmitter with integral torch and ignition key. (Key blank for the Flip-Fob supplied on receipt of Acumen's copy of the system "Certificate of Installation".)
- 14 User definable siren tones. - Know when it's your bike under threat.
- Intelligent Battery Sense™ 3 stage sleep mode based on battery state and time. Use an intelligent charger and the alarm never sleeps!
- Intelligent passive arming with two user definable options when the ignition is turned off: Immobilisation and forced ignition sensor only (No more fumbling for the key for when you stop for fuel!) To full arm press the key fob. Alternatively the system can be set to provide full passive arming.
- Can be programmed to provide Turn Signal Reminder. - Never get caught flashing when you shouldn't!
- Optional programmable Nudge Sensor to reduce false alarms and provide highly effective deterrent.
- Selectable override code with up to 500,000 differs.
- Choose a code that means something to you!

Tested and approved to Thatcham Category 1 (the UK's highest 'insurance standard') the Tempest Cat 1 comes with a new compact fob as well as the popular flip-key version and has an automatic Intelligent Battery SenseTM 3-stage power saving mode too, making it ideal for motorcycles that are unused for long periods of time. Customers can also use the fob to programme their alarm, choosing from 14 siren tones, and can activate the Tempest's optional turn signal reminder, which will alert the rider if they are flashing excessively!
Like its predecessors, the Tempest has not one, but THREE sirens - the main siren is reinforced with two back-up sirens that are located behind a metal plate and powered by a separate driver circuit for added security.
Acumen is the only manufacturer to encapsulate the electronics in resin and use automotive-specification waterproof connectors for ultimate reliability; hence the Tempest is covered by a 3-year warranty. RRP is £325.00 including professional fitting and VAT.
