XX Series
The XX Series is XENA's newest state-of-the-art line that incorporates
our most innovative design technology. XX Series disc-lock alarms come
in both full stainless-steel versions (XX10, XX14, XX15) with
carbide-reinforced double-locking hardened steel locking pins and
chro-moly high-grade steel versions (XX6 in several colours and
metallic finishes XX10 in white and yellow), also with
carbide-reinforced double-locking hardened steel locking pins . The
bigger the locking pin, the harder to break it. All XX Series disc-lock
alarms have a 120dB self-arming alarm linked to shock & motion
sensors and use a single CR2 Lithium battery with a one-year battery
life.
Choosing an XX disc-lock alarm depends on the size and fit profile of
your motorcycle or scooter. The largest, the XX15, has a 14mm locking
pin and is the strongest, and also the bulkiest, choice recommended for
higher security and larger motorcycles. At the other end of the
spectrum, the XX6 is a smaller, lighter, 6mm pin disc-lock alarm with a
lower security profile but higher portability and better-suited to
protecting scooter and mopeds. All XX Series locks use the same 120dB
alarm.
XN Series
The XN Series consists of all high-grade stainless-steel locks of
varying sizes. They all have carbide-reinforced double-locking hardened
steel locking pins ranging from 8mm (the XZN8) to 18mm (the XN18). The
bigger the locking pin, the harder to break it. All XN Series disc-lock
alarms have a 110dB self-arming alarm linked to shock & motion
sensors and use a six-battery array of LR44 batteries with an
eight-month battery life. (note: the XN Series is currently in the
process of being updated to incorporate the battery and alarm
technology currently used in our other locks).
Choosing an XN disc-lock alarm depends on the size and fit profile of
your motorcycle or scooter. The largest, the XX18, has a mammoth 18mm
locking pin and is the strongest, and also the bulkiest, choice
recommended for higher security and larger motorcycles. At the other
end of the spectrum, the XZN8 is a smaller, lighter, 8mm pin disc-lock
alarm with a lower security profile but higher portability and
better-suited to protecting smaller motorcycles and scooters. All XN
Series locks use the same 110dB alarm.
XZZ6L Series
The XZZ6L range is a smaller, lighter range with chro-moly high-grade
steel lock bodies and exclusively with 6mm pushdown-type locking pins.
We recommend them almost exclusively for scooters and mopeds. All XZZ
Series disc-lock alarms have a 120dB self-arming alarm linked to shock
& motion sensors and use a single CR2 Lithium battery with a
one-year battery life.
Choosing an XZZ6L disc-lock alarm depends on the size and fit profile
of your motorcycle or scooter. All XZZ6L locks are at the lighter end
of our security spectrum, with a smaller, lighter, 6mm pin but higher
portability and better-suited to protecting smaller motorcycles,
scooters and mopeds. All XZZ6L Series locks use the same 120dB alarm.

| >What if my alarm doesn't arm? |
|
How to "wake up" your XENA disc-lock alarm To avoid draining the battery when not in use, your XENA disc-lock alarm has a standby mode. To "wake up" your alarm and to begin drawing power, a tiny amount of electrical current must be generated in the lock body. Usually, the metal-on-metal contact from simply locking the lock onto your brake-disc is sufficient and the unit will arm normally. Sometimes, it may be necessary to "wake up" the arming sensor by firmly locking and unlocking the key barrel once or twice.
How you'll know your XENA disc-lock alarm is "awake". Once locked in position on your brake disc, the alarm will sound its arming beep, approximately 5 seconds after "waking". Approximately 10 seconds after your hear the arming beep, the shock and motion sensors are active.

| >Why choose XENA? |
|
|
Thieves will go after the easiest target they can find. In independent test after independent test, XENA disc-lock alarms have been certified stronger and more difficult to remove than standard motorcycle locks. XENA locks are built and tested to rigorous strength standards to resist:
- Ice-Spray Attacks
- Lock Picking
- Cutting with Tungsten Carbon Blades
- Wedge & Leverage Attack
- Blunt Instrument Attack
- … they also contain a piercing 120dB alarm.
With current UK statistics showing a motorcycle is stolen once every 7 minutes, it's time for motorcycle owners to start taking security seriously.

| >Which XENA will fit my bike? |
|
|
XENA disc-lock alarms are designed to fit the vast majority of standard motorcycle brake-discs. While exceptions do exist (ie, some bike models are shipped with more than one type of brake disc), a careful check of the following three relevant dimensions will tell you which XENA suits your bike best. To check our list of known fits and to download a XENA Lockfitter, go to Fitment.
1. Brake-disc gap: Standard on all models at 7mm.
2. Locking-pin size*: Ranges from 6mm (XZZ6) to 18mm (XN18)
3. Distance from locking-pin to back of disc-slot: from 42mm (XZN8) to 65mm (XN18) according to model.
*Note that the locking pin can pass through ANY hole on the brake disc.

| >How long will the batteries last? |
|
|
Under normal use, batteries should last 8 months. Frequent alarm triggering, or extreme temperature conditions can affect battery life. A constant ticking noise or a noticeable deterioration in alarm sound quality are both indications that batteries are low.
Low batteries will affect performance. Replace batteries at the first sign of low power.

|
|
| >Is my XENA weather-proof? |
|
|
Your XENA disc-lock alarm is built to withstand tough weather conditions, including heavy rains. Each electronic module is sealed twice with a water-resistant coating, and an additionalrubber gasket placed in the unit during assembly and prevents water from entering the electronic housing.
That said, DO NOT immerse your XENA unit in water, and wherever possible, take pains to avoid overexposure. If the unit becomes soaked, disassemble and allow it to dry thoroughly before operating again. Wherever possible, avoid saltwater.

|
|
| >Is the alarm unit replaceable? |
|
|
What happens if the alarm unit becomes damaged? All XENA alarmed disc-locks modules are removable for service and battery replacement. Damaged modules can be replaced at a fraction of the cost of a replacement lock. To replace a damaged module, contact your local XENA dealer for the correct replacement module or XENA service kit.

|
| >How do I adjust alarm sensitivity? |
|
You can adjust the sensitivity of your XENA disc-lock alarm by positioning it at different points on your brake disc.
Alarm too sensitive: Place at 6 o’clock on disk.
Alarm not sensitive enough: Place at 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock on disc.
See your user manual for details. |

|
|
| >What do I do about “false alarms”? |
|
|
Your XENA disc-lock alarm uses infrared to constantly check your brake disc. It needs to "see" what it's doing. A blocked reflector plate is the most common cause of false alarms. Be sure to check that the circular reflector plate is free from dirt or grease. Simply clean the reflector with a dry cloth.
A second cause of false alarms is low batteries. Typical battery life with normal use is eight months. Replace the batteries with a XENA XBP replacement pack and continue to enjoy the security of your XENA alarmed disc-lock.

|
| >How do I get new keys? |
|
|
Each lock is supplied with three keys and a key tag (in the case of XX Series disc-lock alarms, the code is etched onto the key-shaped lock tool on your key ring) with a unique key code ID combining letters and numbers (eg, ABC1234). Use this identification number to order more keys for your lock. Please store key tag in a safe place and NOT with the keys themselves.
To make cutting new keys easier, please register your XENA product at xenasecurity.com. Alternatively, email the number on the keytag along with the original owner's name, address, telephone number and proof of purchase to info@xenasecurity.com. Keys will only be sent to the original owner’s address.

|
| >How does the alarm work? |
|
All XENA disc-lock alarms share the same alarm-sensor technology. No on-off switch is required. Just place the lock on the brake disc and lock into place. Your XENA disc-lock alarm has LED sensors that automatically detect the presence of a disc. Once locked in place, your XENA unit will beep once to confirm that it is fully activated.
Each XENA electronic module houses infrared transmitters and receivers linked to a microprocessor that allows your XENA unit to detect the presence or absence of a brake disc to arm or disarm. Moving the wheel or tampering with the unit while it is locked to your bike will trip one or both of the shock and movement sensors, setting off the alarm and warning you and any potential bike thieves. |
