Xena Disc lock alarm information

XENA Alarmed lock Features:

The model of XENA disc lock you need depends on your bike and where you want or can place the unit on the disc brake.
Since manufacturers change brake discs often, it is best to look at your disc and measure which unit suits your needs. You need to measure the distance from the edge of the disc to the first large opening. Also measure the opening and compare with throat and locking pin thickness of the Xena Lock models below.

One of the great advantages of a Xena alarmed disc lock is that it will remind you to remove the lock 'before' driving away.

All Xena models have the same 3 sensors, an LED light sensor, a shock sensor and a motion sensor. The LED light sensor is used to arm the motion and shock sensors. In other words, the unit will not arm itself unless it is installed on a disc or something solid is placed in the throat of the unit blocking the light sensor. This allows you to lock the unit and carry it in its pouch without having to worry that it will sound ever 15 seconds as you drive down the road.

The sensitivity of the unit is dictated by where the unit is placed on the disc. As an example, if you place the unit high - on the top of the disc, it is more sensitive than if you place it low - on the bottom of the disc.

Xena Alarmed disc locks are powered by 6 button batteries. Each Xena disc lock comes with a battery pack installed, inside the unit, and a spare battery pack in the box. Lockitt.com adds another 12 extra batteries, free of charge, with every Xena Alarmed disc lock. XR1, 14 and 15 models also come with a handy carrying pouch.

Installation and Use:

The unit is installed by placing it on the front or rear disc of your bike. Remember that the unit is most sensitive if placed on the top of the disc facing down, and least sensitive if placed on the bottom of the disc facing up.
Once the LED light sensor senses that the units is installed on a disc, the unit will beep once (after 10 seconds) to tell you that the unit is arming itself. 10 seconds after that beep, the unit will be fully armed.
When the XENA unit is triggered, it will sound 2 short beeps and then the alarm will sound for 15 seconds before it goes silent and re-arms itself. You have approximately 3 seconds from the time that the unit is disturbed until it sounds. This is to ensure that you do not have time to get on your bike and start it before the alarms sounds and also to warn any would – be thieves to stay away.

We also have Xena Chain and Cable Lock/Alarms available. Pending inventory, orders are shipped the same day that they are received.
All XENA products have a 12 month warranty (excluding batteries).

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

If you find that the unit becomes difficult to arm, not as sensitive as when you first bought it or that the alarm is not as loud, there are two checks that you can perform to ensure that your unit functions at optimum efficiency:

Change the battery pack.
Clean the light sensor area by running a soft cloth through the throat area of the unit and remove any dirt from the sensor/reflector area.

If the unit starts going off by itself (without being installed on the disc), it is also time to clean the bottom reflector and LED sensors. (see above)

Extreme cold will shorten battery life. If you store your bike over-winter, in a cold place, you may want to remove the batteries or, if at high risk, replace more frequently.

A ticking noise is usually caused by low batteries.
Replace with XPB-1 (6 batteries + Holder) or our buy our Maxell LR44 batteries (10 batteries for $7.95)

CHOOSING A MODEL

XENA 2007 Disc Lock Models:

XR1: Available in yellow, red, stainless, gun metal and chrome.
The smallest Xena lock currently available.
Made from zinc alloy with a 7mm - 9/32" pin, this lock will fit any normal size brake disc as long as it has holes.
Vertical clearance (gap) is 7mm - 9/32" and throat is 49mm or 1 23/16"

If you are looking for the smallest possible lock or if none of the larger Xena locks will fit your bike, this is the one to get. Although the alarm function is exactly the same as the larger models, the actual lock is less strong due to the smaller locking pin.

XM14 - XN14 - XH14
Available in yellow (XM), stainless (XN)
Xena 14 series combine both size and high level security.
XM model is made from a hardened chrome molybdenum steel, XN from stainless steel and XH has been treated (hardened) with inert gas.
This treatment gives the lock body a nice rough black finish.
All 14 models have a double locking 14mm - 9/16" pin which makes it virtually impossible to pry the lock off the disc.
Vertical clearance (gap) is 7mm - 9/32" and throat is 46mm or 1 13/16"

XM14	XN14

Xena 14 series is an ideal balance between size and strength. The massive double locking pin provides high security even without the alarm function.

XE15 - XN15 - XH15
Xena 15 series will fit those bikes where a longer throat is needed.
XE model is made from a hardened chrome molybdenum steel, XN from stainless steel and XH has been treated (hardened) with inert gas.
This treatment gives the lock body a nice rough black finish.
All 15 models have a double locking 14mm - 9/16" pin which makes it virtually impossible to pry the lock off the disc.
Vertical clearance (gap) is 7mm - 9/32" and throat is 62mm or 2 7/16"

XE15	XN15	XH15

Buy this lock if you need a longer throat (to reach holes further away from the edge of the disc). The massive double locking pin provides high security even without the alarm function.

XN18 Nightmare
A nightmare it is. For the thieve that is.
With an unprecedented 18mm - 2 9/16" pin, this lock could easily be described as overkill.
Although it will not fit every bike, and you would be lugging around 3 1/2Lbs of stainless steel, it simply is a massive security device.
The entire cylinder and (double) locking pin is removeable (with the key only). XN18 also features 2 sets of infrared sensors (versus 1 set on all other Xena locks)
Vertical clearance (gap) is 7mm - 9/32" and throat is 65mm or 2 9/16"

If price and weight is not an issue, this is the absolute strongest lock you can get.

If you choose a unit, and it does not fit your bike, we will gladly exchange it for one that does, provided that there is no damage to the returned unit.
The units are powered by a battery pack which contains 6 - LR44 watch batteries. We deliver the unit with one battery pack installed, an additional one at no extra chargein the box and 12 extra spare batteries, courtesy of Lockitt.com.
The battery packs last about one season (6 to 8 months), depending on how often the alarm is activated. Additional battery packs are available from us.

I addition, we have Xena XV200 Disc lock / Cable combinations available.

You may contact us at any time if you have any questions. By email is preferred.

No matter where you purchased your Xena lock, if you have a problem, we will try to help you out.
Always remember, this is an electronic device and therefore needs extra care over a regular disc lock.

About pricing !
There are many old style Xena disc locks offered in stores and on several websites for less money.
We only sell the latest and vastly improved models. First generation Xena locks have a low security tubular key system, simple push down locking pin (as opposed to double locking on Xena XE12 models) and a mechanical (ball) switch to control the alarm function.
These old locks may look like a bargain but are no comparison to the locks we sell today.
As we never sold any first generation Xena locks, we are not able to offer any form of after sale service on these old style locks.
