Aqualuma Brakelight System (ABS)

Despite its aesthetically pleasing appearance, Aqualuma’s Brake Light is about more than just illumination – it is a vital safety tool. This revolutionary deceleration brake light for Personal Water Craft (PWC) was developed by Aqualuma to increase visibility and safety for all PWC users.

The Aqualuma Break Light System (ABS) accurately measures engine speed combined with time to produce a very reliable electronic brake light and stationary craft warning light. It will let any craft behind the vessel know if you are slowing down rapidly or stationary and therefore help to avoid rear end collisions with vessels or watercraft.

The ABS is also fitted with an SOS mode that is user activated in the case of engine failure, running out of fuel or similar situations. It will flash SOS in Morse code until the engine is restarted or the SOS mode is manually turned off.

The ABS also has a two minute automatic power off feature that allows for long term storage without running the battery flat. This feature is overridden only by the SOS mode and the ABS will automatically come out of power off mode when engine is started. The ABS can be calibrated to all gasoline engines with the use of the MagKey supplied.

In a massive endorsement of the product’s ingenuity, Aqualuma’s Brake Light won the ‘Most Innovative Safety Product Award’ at the 2008 US National Marine Manufacturers Awards - a particularly important achievement given a recent study in America found that 70% of PWC accidents that resulted in injury were caused by fellow PWC riders running up the back of stationary PWCs.

Aqualuma ABS Installation Instructions

The ABS should be mounted in a clear visible position facing to the rear. e.g. the rear mount boarding bar.
Route the wiring to the appropriate areas, Red positive and Black negative wires to the battery (red+ black-) and connect (1 amp in line fuse is recommended). The orange RPM Sensor wire to an ignition lead/coil-pack.
RPM Pickup sensor wire placement will depend on your PWC.

• If you have a traditional Ignition Lead, then simply zip tie the orange sense wire to any one of the ignition leads.
• If you have a Coil-Pack ignition system, remove any one of the coil packs. Slide the orange wire between the rubber seal and shaft as shown.


Make sure that all cabling is secured to avoid fouling any moving parts using zip ties provided.

You are now ready to calibrate your ABS brake light.

Calibrating the ABS Brakelight using the MagKey.
For best performance, it is recommended to calibrate in water.

• Start the PWC and allow to idle
• Ensure that the red RPM sense LED is off , if not, check placement of orange sensor wire.
• Hold the MagKey over the centre of the brakelight for 5 seconds (Observing the red MagKey Active LED)
• Auto calibration is complete with the main Brakelight LED Cluster becomes Constantly Lit.
• Remove MagKey.
• The brakelight is now successfully calibrated to your PWC idle speed and should fl ash for 20 seconds, normal operation has commenced.

To enable SOS Mode using the MagKey

To Enable/Disable SOS Mode

• Ensure the engine is Stopped
• Hold the MagKey over the centre of the brakelight for 5 seconds (Observing the red MagKey Active LED)
• The brakelight will very briefl y fl ash and then remain OFF.
• Removing the MagKey will then enable SOS mode to fl ash the brakelight cluster in Morse code, SOS (...---...) and repeat.
• To disable SOS mode repeat step above.

Note: SOS mode will automatically be cancelled if the user tries to start the engine. This is to ensure incorrect SOS display
cannot occur during normal PWC operation. SOS mode will also override the 2-minute auto power off feature and continue to
flash SOS as long as battery supply is capable.

Testimonials

“I fitted Aqualuma’s Brake Light System to my 2006 Sea Doo and am really thrilled with its reliability and ability to act as a warning device to my friends following me when out on the water. From my experience with Aqualuma’s Brake Light System, in my opinion it should become a mandatory feature on PWCs in the future.”
