AVS AVS-5000i Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the new AVS 5000i. The system has been designed
to provide excellent security and convenience for you and your vehicle.

Some features are identified as options – these may be installation
configurable or programmable. We recommend that the system
configuration and programming is left to an authorised AVS dealer.

We recommend that you read this guide carefully and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.

Particularly important items for you to note are identified with this
symbol.

The alarm system

The AVS 5000i is a microprocessor controlled security system designed to
help protect your vehicle from being stolen. It includes two automatic
immobilisers to disable your vehicle’s electrical system. When armed, the
immobilisers will prevent the car being started.

The AVS 5000i also helps protect your vehicle’s contents from theft. When
armed, the system will trigger if the doors, boot, or bonnet are opened.
The AVS 5000i will also trigger if an impact to the vehicle is detected by the
shock sensor.

The remotes

The AVS 5000i comes with two remotes. The remote is used to control the
system’s various features and functions. The remotes have rolling codes (4
billion codes) to prevent scanning and code grabbing devices. The top
button is the one nearest the LED light. Further remotes can be obtained
from your AVS dealer and can easily be programmed into the system.

Battery replacement – long life Lithium batteries are fitted as standard to
the remote. The replacement part is: CR1616 (two per remote) and are
available from your AVS dealer or any good electrical retailer. To open the
remote, remove the two screws on the back of the remote with a Phillips
screwdriver. Once the new batteries are inserted and the screws replaced,
check the LED illuminates by pressing any of the buttons.

(continued next page)

It is wise to replace the remote batteries before they fail
completely. An indication that the batteries need replacing is a
reduction in the operating range. When the batteries in the

remote are almost flat the remote’s LED will flash instead of
lighting constantly when a button is pressed.

Normal operation

Auto immobilisation

The AVS 5000i will automatically immobilise 38 seconds after the ignition is
switched off. The LED will flash once the car is auto-immobilised. The
immobilisers must be disarmed before the vehicle can be started.

Arming the system

To arm the system turn off the ignition, exit the vehicle and ensure all
doors (and bonnet/boot/hatch) are properly closed then press the top
button on your remote.

The indicator lights will flash once and siren will also chirp once. If the
system is connected to your central door locking the doors will lock at this
point. The LED light on the dash will stay on for 20 seconds then flash. The
system will not activate until the LED on the dash starts flashing.

This procedure will also arm the alarm if the system has entered auto­immobilise mode.

Error zone report

If any of the zones (door/bonnet/boot/hatch) are open when you arm the
alarm the system will warn you by chirping after four seconds. The system
will still arm, but will exclude the open zone until it is properly closed. See
the table below for zone codes.
