Danmark Valve Power Source...

[PAVALKER]

I read somewhere on here about powering the Danmark via a power lead to the coils or something so that in the event of a spill (bank angle sensor), kill switch shut down etc... that power would be off to the Danmark.   Unfortunately I can't find that post, or scanned over it a few times without realizing it.  Can someone elaborate on that subject?

I have the Danmark installed, new Petcock, Desmog (Stealth) and all appears to be working fine....  taking a longer ride tomorrow.

After having a look at the Interstate wiring diagrams provided at the Rattlebars web site (http://www.rattlebars.com/valkfaq/schematics/rpage06i.html), it looks like you can power your fuel valve from any white/black wire connecting the kill switch to the coils and to the ICM.  This will allow your valve to lose power and close when the ignition switch is off, the bank angle sensor indicates tip-over, or the kill switch is off.

Thank you....

It may be just me, but when I did that I developed a high-speed miss. I attributed it to voltage/current starvation due to the additional current draw on the coil supply wire that I tee'd in to. As soon as I changed it to the switched auxiliary power circuit the high-speed miss vanished.

I was thinking that might happen with a constant additional load on the coil voltage. I'd think setting it up via a relay, with the power coming from battery/or fuse block and the coil voltage to trigger the relay, might eliminate the problem and still allow the ign/tip over kill to work.

That's the way I wired mine, via a relay using the coil wire as the trigger, works like a champ.

I just wired it to an accessories terminal in the fuse panel and used an in-line fuse with it.
Just make sure you choose a terminal that goes off/on with the key. No relay needed this way.

I POWERED my relay with the black/white wire in the loom coming from the kill sw.  Triggered the relay with a hidden momentary push-button and ran a wire with diode from the relay output back to the trigger, making the relay now a LATCH. Added a LED on the output to indicate when power is on to the Dan-Marc.  With this setup - tip the bike over, hit the kill sw, or turn off the ignition and the fuel is off until the ignition is on again, kill sw off, and the push button is pressed.  Now I have an anti-theft / hijack fuel system. There is NO MISS by the engine, so your theory on the power draw to the coil circuit by the Dan-Marc causing a miss is untrue on my bike. Might be you could measure the amp draw of the Dan-Marc with a multimeter to see if it's defective.

Using the coil wire as the trigger means the Dan-Marc is on when the ignition is (& kill sw off, bike not tipped).  Which is fine if you don't want to add the security oprion.
