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 BOTH 12v SUPPLIES ARE FUSED, EITHER USE A FUSED SUPPLY FROM THE VEHICLE FUSE BOX
OR IF CONNECTING TO IGNITION SWITCH LOOM YOU MUST ADD INLINE 10a FUSES.
ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE 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.
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:

AVS A-SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL - GEN 2 VER 5

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
7
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.
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).

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.
NOTE: Unless a remote control is learnt in you will need to repeat the procedure every time you wish to start
the car.

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. Ensure the 12v supply is fused.
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.
