Chirp/No Chirp Smart Siren Differences
Published by glider (Community Liaison)
Published date: Jan 22nd, 2008

After a few weeks working on this issue with our member "joyflyin" about why she had no chirp on a recent installation of the optional siren in her alarm system in her 05 Deuce, there's finally an answer to the mystery.

There are TWO sirens available for the HD security system and
the part numbers are the same except for the last 2 digits.
The smart siren II is the one that does have an audible chirp when setting and disarming the system, while the smart siren does not.

After the installation, it may take a while before the sirens internal battery gets a charge from the bikes battery system.

68328-02 (doesn't chirp)



68328-06 (smart siren II does chirp).
Another difference is that the smart siren II will have the antenna on it.


Both of these units will work in the alarm systems but with different results.

You could also try this procedure for the button less alarms (smart fob) Some have had some luck with getting this to work.


Alarm Chirp Mode (smart FOB)
The new late model button less smart fobs are capable of changing the chirp mode to a silent mode. Even when armed in the chirp less mode, the siren still chirps warnings on movement and will activate the alarm through all alarm cycles.


To do this cycle quickly through arming and disarming twice, this will switch the system from either chirp less or the chirp mode to it's opposite mode.

1. With the fob present, the ignition key ON and the system disarmed, turn the ignition OFF.

2. When the system arms (2 flashes of the turn signals) immediately turn the ignition switch back ON.

3. When the system disarms, ( 1 flash of the turn signals) immediately turn the ignition switch OFF.

4. When the system arms (2 flashes of the turn signals) immediately turn the ignition switch ON and wait for the system to arm.

Re: Chirp/No Chirp Smart Sirens

I have the chirping siren and it goes off when disconnecting the battery. I have been told you can disconnect it quietly by pulling the maxi-fuse right after turning off the key.

I have not done it because it the H-D battery charger lead fits my Schumacher battery tender.

I believe you have 30 seconds to do it your way or you can leave the key ON and disconnect the maxi fuse then to avoid alarm soundings.

Thanks a million Glider. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can just accept things without knowing 'why'.....Persistence pays off & we all get a little smarter down the road.

Re: Chirp/No Chirp Smart Sirens

Hi Glider I have an 09 sportster 883 with the smart security system. When I took delivery of the bike it was chirpless but somehow after abot 500 ks the chirp started to operate. it is a good thing as it lets people know it is armed but I would like to turn the chirp off. I have done the arm and disarm process as per the manual but it does not work - any clues?? - everyone I have spoken to says to follow the book which I have done to no avail

Try this procedure. Some of the sirens cannot have the mode changed.

Question Re: Chirp/No Chirp Smart Siren Differences

I have just installed the siren II in my '06 Fatboy. It works fine but no chirp during activation/de-activation. Couldn't find any working instruction so far, has someone resolved that issue?

I thought it might be the not charged siren battery, that the chirp will be supported by that battery only but the regular alarm also by the bike battery.

That would also explain why Roger Paul's bike didn't chirp at the beginning but after several hours of operation when the battery has been charged.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mr. Burns
