Introduction
Please read the entire instruction manual before attempting installation. As all cables are black please take care when
making all connections. Insurance star ratings are only valid when installed by a registered AS/NZS installer
and installed in accordance with methods and principles detailed in AS3749.2
PLEASE ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE SOLDERED AND TAPED. DO NOT USE SCOTCH LOCKS OR SIMILAR
CONNECTORS.
General system features
Poly-fuse protected inputs/outputs:
The AVS A-Series includes poly-fuses on all inputs and outputs except the immobiliser circuits. If the poly-fuse
detects an overload, it will open to prevent damage to the alarm components. Once the overload has been removed
the polyfuse will automatically reset. If you find a circuit does not work (i.e. central locking operates several times
then stops) check the current draw on the affected circuit, as it may be too high. The polyfuse may take several
minutes to reset.
Auto-immobilisation:
The AVS system will automatically immobilise 38 seconds after the ignition is switched OFF. The LED will light solid
to indicate it is in auto immobilise mode.
Arm by remote:
Press the button on the remote. The indicators will flash once and the siren will chirp once (if fitted). If the
central locking is connected the doors will lock. The LED light will stay on solid for 38 seconds and then flash.
Silent arm: Push the and button together.
Door ajar warning:
If the siren chirps for three seconds on arming, a door, bonnet or boot is open. The alarm will exclude that zone until
it is properly closed and the alarm is disarmed then armed again.

AVS A-SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL - GEN 2 VER 5
5
Disarm by remote:
Press the button on the remote. The indicators will flash twice and the siren will chirp twice (if fitted). If the
central locking is connected the doors will unlock. The LED will stop flashing.
Silent disarm: Push the and button together.
NOTE: If the alarm was activated while armed the system will flash the indicators and chirp the siren (if fitted) four
times upon disarming.
Low remote battery warning:
When the battery in the remote is almost flat the remotes LED will flash instead of lighting constantly when a button
is pressed.
Panic/car finder:
Press the button on the remote control for three seconds. The indicators will flash and the siren will sound. To
cancel panic mode, press the button again once (or push the button once –Note: this button will also
disarm the alarm). The panic feature will not work when the ignition is switched on. The panic button can also be
programmed to operate instantly when the button is pushed (refer Register 1, Feature 18).

AVS A-SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL - GEN 2 VER 5
6
Boot release output (150mA max):
Press the button for three seconds. The system will disarm, the doors will unlock (if central locking
connected) and the boot output wire will give a negative output for one second. For safety reasons the boot release
will not work with the ignition on. The boot release can also be programmed to operate instantly when the
button is pushed (refer Register 1, Feature 6).
The boot release button is also used to control the on-board turbo timer function (refer Turbo timer set-up). If the
on-board turbo timer feature is used, remote boot release is not available.
Auto zone bypass:
Auto bypass is designed to reduce false alarms caused by faulty switches or external sensors. If the alarm is triggered
three times by the same sector then that sector will be bypassed. (i.e. the sector will become inactive.) The sector
will only be bypassed for one arming period. The next time the system is armed the sector that was bypassed will
become active again.
Door/bonnet/boot/AUX inputs:
The door, bonnet, boot and AUX input wires detect a change of state rather than just a negative input. This means
for example, if you arm the alarm with the door open the alarm will trigger if the door closes.
Turbo timer functions:
The system has two turbo timer functions:
On-board turbo timer: allows the vehicle to run for 1, 2 or 4 minutes after the ignition is switched to off.
Interface: will interface with an external turbo timer to allow the vehicle to run on the turbo timer after the
alarm is armed.
Refer to Turbo Timer Instructions for full details.
Operate system from car’s factory remote (MAP function):
The system will arm when the factory remote is locked and disarm when unlocked. It requires the factory upgrade
wires to be connected.
Refer to the Factory Remote Interface (MAP function) section for full details.
Anti hijack:
There are two anti hijack modes to stop thieves that have possesion of the car key and alarm remote from stealing
the vehicle. A momentary switch (AVS DS01 is recomended) needs to be pressed within a minute of an anti hijack
activation or the alarm will cut fuel to the vehicle and sound the alarm (if programmed).
Refer to Anti Hijack Modes for full details.
Courier feature:
The alarm can be armed with the ignition on. The alarm allows the vehicle to run indefinitely with the ignition on
after the alarm is armed. If the alarm is triggered it will shut down the engine and sound the alarm.
Refer to Courier Mode for full details.
Automatic re-arm and re-lock
This feature prevents the accidental disarming of the system. It will re-arm and (if central locking is connected) re-
lock the doors if the system is disarmed from an armed state and a door is not opened within 60 seconds. This
feature is off by default but it is recommended that it be programmed on (refer Register 2, Feature 4).

AVS A-SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL - GEN 2 VER 5

Additional features
Data battery back-up siren V2 (DBBSMV2):
The data battery back-up siren V2 has its own battery and charging system so it will continue to sound if the alarm is
armed and power is cut to it. It also communicates with the alarm module via an independent data line. This makes it
more difficult for a would be thief to disable the siren. It comes with two coded keys for enabling the siren at the
time of install. The siren is delivered in a disarmed state and when you first turn the key on the siren should chirp
once.
The data signal from the alarm sends a status message to the siren every 5 seconds containing the armed/disarmed
status. This enables the siren to process events with this in mind. If the alarm is disarmed and not in an auto
immobilised state the siren WILL NOT sound if the battery or digital data wire is disconnected. If the alarm is armed
or auto immobilised the siren WILL sound if the battery or digital data wire is disconnected.
Original DBBSM sirens can be used on V5 alarm modules but will behave as a standard battery back-up siren would.
This means the siren will trigger if power or data connection are lost irrespective of the alarms armed state.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONNECT ANY OTHER TYPE OF SIREN TO THIS SYSTEM AS THIS WILL DAMAGE
THE UNIT AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
Intelligent glass break sensor (AVS A5):
The AVS A5 includes an intelligent glass break sensor. It will only trigger the alarm when it registers the correct
sound frequency parameters for breaking glass and the shock sensor also registers a corresponding vibration/impact
to the vehicle (the shock sensor on the A5 is used only for the digital glass break sensor and does not detect shock
by itself). This ensures highly accurate detection of glass breakage and minimises false alarms. The microphone
needs to be mounted in the cabin area with the best location being at the base of either ‘A’ pillar of the vehicle.

Remote controls:
Learning new remotes:
1. Disarm the alarm.
2. Turn ignition on.
3. Press and hold the button on the original remote until the indicators start flashing (and siren chirps if
fitted) (approx. four seconds) and then release the button.
4. Immediately press and hold the button on the new remote until the indicators stop flashing.
5. Turn the ignition off.
6. The new remote is now coded in.
Learning remotes when no working remotes are available:
1. Open the driver’s door and the bonnet. The alarm will sound if currently armed.
2. Enter the PIN code using the ignition key (refer Emergency disarm/PIN code override).
3. As soon as the indicators start flashing and siren chirps if fitted (approx. four seconds), press and hold the
button on a single remote. This will learn in the remote and delete all other codes.
4. Press the button again and test for correct operation (if the bonnet and door is still open the alarm will
signal door ajar warning by chirping for 3 seconds).
5. Learn any remaining remotes via the normal method outlined above.
Deleting remotes:
To delete a lost remote you have three options:
1. Use Learning remotes when no working remotes are available sequence above.
2. A new remote can be coded into the system 12 times. You can do this by coding the same remote in even if you
only have one remote.
3. Or the unit can be sent back to Manta Electronics for resetting.
Emergency disarm / PIN code override
This feature enables the owner to disarm the system if the remote has been lost or broken (or the remote batteries
are flat). There are over 66,000 possible combinations. The PIN code is set at the factory and is not changeable. The
unique PIN code is printed on the supplied PIN code card that must be kept safe at all times.
To will override the alarm whether it is armed or auto-immobilised.
1. Enter the vehicle. If the alarm is armed the siren will sound. (You can turn the siren off with the siren key if
required.)
2. Make sure the bonnet and boot are shut. The doors can be shut or open.
3. Turn the ignition ON to OFF in a quick steady rhythm an equal number of times to the first PIN digit.
4. Wait for the indicators and LED to flash once. (If the alarm is armed you will not be able to see the indicator flash
so instead look for the LED flash).
5. Now, repeat for the second PIN digit and wait for the indicators/LED to flash.
6. Repeat until all five digits are entered.
7. If the code entered is correct the alarm will disarm. Start the vehicle within 40 seconds or the alarm will
automatically immobilise and you will need to repeat the procedure.

Wiring instructions
Supply voltage:
12v DC
Current consumption:
Un-triggered: 29mA Armed, 25mA disarmed (MAX)
Location of main control unit:
Mounting of the alarm brain is central to a good alarm installation. Mount either behind centre console, behind
speedo cluster or left of dash. If this is not possible, mount under the driver’s side of the dash, but in an
inconspicuous location. Securely fix the unit with cable ties or similar ensuring the unit is solidly mounted and
cannot move around or be easily accessed. Failure to do this will result in poor shock sensitivity and glass break
function (if used). Start the install by mounting the brain in its intended location and then run the wires out to their
connection points looming the wires with the factory wiring wherever possible.
Plug connector (looking at alarm socket with wires facing):
If a tag is accidentally cut, or accessories are being added to the AVS A-Series alarm at a later date, it is possible to
trace the required wires by first un-clipping the case. Next, slide the circuit board out to expose the main connector
plug. Use the following connector diagram below to trace each wire and its function:

IMPORTANT: Even though the connector plug for the A-Series is similar to the ones used in the AVS
4601/6000/9000 models, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE i.e. you can not plug an A-Series module into a harness
from the AVS 4601/6000/9000. Doing so will damage the unit and this will not be covered under warranty. The AVS
S-Series loom is compatible but has wires in pins 15, 16, 17 and 18 for immobiliser one.

Data battery back-up siren wiring (DBBSMV2)
The AVS data siren V2 has the following wires located on it:
Red: connect to +12V wire from alarm module bundled with other alarm wires, marked with red and white
sheathing.
Black: connect to GND wire from alarm module bundled with other alarm wires, marked with red and white
sheathing.
White: this is the siren trigger wire. It must connect to the SIREN wire from the alarm module. A maximum of two
data sirens can be connected to this wire. Note: As this is a data wire, no other type of siren can be connected to
it. The SIREN wire can be found with other alarm wires, marked with red and white sheathing.
Green: this wire gives a constant 200mA negative output (-alarm) when the alarm is triggered. It can be used to run
additional piezo sirens or to activate the horn (additional relays may be needed). This is also useful for installations
which require both a piezo siren and tilt sensor, as it allows the piezo to be activated via the –ALARM wire from the
siren, and the –ARM from the module can be used to activate the tilt upon arming. Please note that turning the
siren key off will also disable this wire output.
Brown: the bonnet wire is one length of wire looped within the siren. Connect the brown wire to the HOOD IN wire
from the alarm module bundled with the other siren wires in the red and white sheathing. Connect the black wire
coming from the siren labeled BONNET to the bonnet pin.

SIREN - Connect this wire to the white wire on the AVS data siren V2. Up to two data sirens can
be connected.
Note: You can only connect the specially coded AVS data battery back-up siren V2.This output
is not compatible with any other AVS siren or any other brand of siren as coded data is
transmitted to turn the siren on and off. Do not connect any other siren as it will damage the
unit and void the warranty.
6
-ARM - ‘Negative on arm output’. This wire outputs a negative of 150mA when the system is
armed. Use this when connecting accessories such as tilt sensors, etc.
It can also be programmed to become a ‘Negative on alarm output’ instead. In this case the wire
switches negative when the system is armed by remote and the alarm is triggered. It can be
connected to an optional AVS Tracking system or interior piezo siren. It will reset after sounding
the siren for 30 seconds. NOTE: This wire will not give siren chirps for arm/disarm confirmation.
7
BOOT-OUT - This gives a 1-second negative output for boot release (150ma maximum). For
use where electric boot release is to be connected. Extra components may be required
depending on the vehicle. Refer to Remote Boot Release diagram.
Note: When the on board turbo timer feature is selected this wire will stay low while the turbo
timer times out.
