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.
General system features Poly-fuse protected inputs/outputs: The AVS S-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.
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.
Additional features Data battery back-up siren (24VDBBS) - AVS 24v S5/S4: The data battery back-up siren has its own battery and charging system so it will sound if 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.
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).
Wiring instructions Supply voltage: 24v 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.
Data battery back-up siren wiring V2 (DBBSMV2) The AVS 24v data siren has the following wires located on it: +24V – Connect to permanent 24 volt power source. To keep the install tidy run this wire with the other siren wires into the vehicle. GND –...
Plug Pin # Connection IGN - Connect to a +24 volts ignition switched lead, which does not fall to 0 volt when the engine is cranked. GND - Connect to two suitable earth points on the car body. Each wire must be earthed at a separate point to comply with AS/NZS installation standards.

Continued… Plug Pin # Connection Starter motor immobiliser circuit - The starter wire is usually located under the steering IM1A 15 column; this wire must be +24v (8 AMP max) only when the vehicle is being started. Cut this wire. The vehicle should not turn over. Solder one side of the wire to both IM1A wires. Solder IM1B 17 the other end to both IM1B wires.

Turbo timer instructions The system has two turbo timer features. Firstly it has its own on-board turbo timer system, and secondly it has an interface so is compatible with external turbo timers. On-board turbo timer On most vehicles the AVS S-Series can be set up to run the on-board turbo timer by simply connecting the ignition immobiliser wires that would normally be connected to the key side of the cut (IM2A) to +24V main power feed as shown in the diagram below.
Page 23
To allow the button to shut down the engine before the turbo timer times out: 1. Turn off the ignition. 2. Close all doors then turn ignition on, off and on. 3. Press the button 17 times. 4. Turn the ignition off. This will toggle the feature on or off. If the on-board turbo timer feature is turned on the siren will chirp once.
Interface with external turbo timers When this feature is turned ON, the system allows the vehicle to run on an external turbo timer for a time that does not exceed the time programmed into the system. The system allows for 1 minute, 2 minutes or 4 minutes. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE EXTERNAL TURBO TIMER DOES NOT RUN FOR LONGER THAN THIS TIME AS IT WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO FALSE ALARM.
Factory remote interface (MAP function) The AVS S-Series can be directly controlled using the vehicle’s existing factory remote control. By hooking up the POS1, POS2, NEG1, NEG2, M1 and M2 wires as per most data sheets (either supplied by AVS or not) or by testing to find the trigger wires, the alarm can be controlled without further programming.
Anti Hijack The AVS S-Series has an anti hijack feature designed to prevent vehicle theft through programmed immobilisation procedures. This feature is aimed at reducing theft via car jacking or theft of the vehicles keys and alarm remote. When the anti hijack mode is set to on, the unit waits for a hidden momentary switch (connected between the AUX wire and ground) to be pressed following a specific event - such as the opening of a door after the ignition is turned on (anti hijack mode 1) or turning the ignition on (anti hijack mode 2).
Courier mode Courier mode allows the driver to leave the engine running and arm the alarm with the keys in the ignition. The system will enter full arm mode only three seconds after arming (unlike the standard forty seconds). If the alarm is activated the system will shut the engine down and trigger as normal.
