Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AVS 9000 SMS security system. This system is designed to provide an advanced level of security for you and your vehicle with the additional security of two-way SMS (text message) communication. We recommend that you read this guide carefully and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

The remotes

Two remote controls are supplied and are used to control the system functions (in addition to SMS). The remotes have rolling codes (4 billion) to foil code-grabbing devices.

Remote batteries

Each remote is fitted with CR2025 long life Lithium batteries. Replacement batteries are available from electrical retailers or AVS dealers.

Replace the remote batteries if:

1. The remote range begins to decrease.

2. The remote’s LED flashes when a button is pushed.

Note: Like any electrical device the remotes contain sensitive components that are easily damaged or broken, especially if dropped or exposed to water. They are expensive to replace so please take care of them.

About the cellular modem

The AVS 9000 has an inbuilt cellular modem that allows two-way communication between your mobile phone and the alarm via SMS (text message). The modem operates with a SIM card in the same way as a mobile phone. It runs on a Vodafone pre-pay SIM card.

It is your responsibility to ensure your cellular modem SIM card has money on it at all times for two-way SMS communication to operate.

The AVS 9000 relies on cellular coverage for SMS communication (the alarm will work regardless of cellular coverage). The system will warn you on arming by remote by chirping three times if there is low cellular coverage. However, if your phone is switched off or outside cellular coverage and there is an alarm trigger you will only receive a notification SMS when your phone is switched back on or is back in range.

Note: Manta Electronics and the various network providers do not guarantee the delivery of SMS or calls. Manta Electronics accepts no liability for consequential losses resulting from the non-receipt or delayed receipt of an SMS.

Please see the Understanding SMS sheet included for more information.

SIM card set-up

Do NOT insert or remove the cellular modem SIM card while the power is on. Ensure power is off and the AVS 9000 is unplugged first.

If this has not already been done by the installer (or for any reason you remove the SIM card and need to replace it):

1. Place the new SIM card in an existing mobile phone and turn off “PIN code request.” You may need to refer to your mobile phone manual on how to do this.

2. Call 707 and set the 4-digit Vodafone account PIN code. Record the PIN in the Programmed numbers reference in this

manual. You will need the Vodafone account PIN code when you want to check or top up the cellular modem’s SIM card balance.

3. Insert the SIM card into the AVS 9000’s cellular modem.

4. Save the AVS 9000 cellular modem’s SIM card number in your mobile phone to easily recall for sending SMS commands. We recommend that you save it with a meaningful name i.e. AVS 9000 or other so it is instantly recognisable and you are able to take immediate action if you are contacted by the system.

Mobile phone safety precautions

Please follow these basic mobile phone safety precautions.

1. Aircraft - Mobile phones can interfere with an aircraft’s navigation system and its mobile network. The use of mobile phones on board aircraft is forbidden by law so please ensure your mobile phone is switched off.

2. Medical equipment - Radio transmitters, including mobile phones can interfere with the operation of inadequately protected medical devices. Please address all questions to a doctor or manufacturer of the medical device.

3. Loss/theft - If your mobile phone and/or your SIM card are lost or stolen, notify your network operator immediately in order to avoid misuse.

Note: Under no circumstances shall Manta Electronics be responsible for any loss of data or income or any special, incidental, consequential or indirect damages howsoever caused.

Using the SMS commands

Secure operation

You must enter a 6-digit PIN code at the start of each SMS command. The default PIN code is 000000 (all zeros). Please change this to a number that you will remember and record it in the Programmed Numbers Reference. See SMS Secure Operation PIN code for more information.

SMS operation

Sending an SMS to the alarm

From a mobile phone type the secure operation PIN code followed by the command. Example: 000000COMMAND

Tips

• You must put the secure operation PIN code at the start of each command

• The message is not case sensitive

• Do not use spaces

• The reply SMS will be sent back to the same phone the

command SMS was sent from

Receiving an SMS from the alarm

• The AVS 9000 will reply to any command SMS sent to it

• It will reply to the same phone the command came from

• The AVS 9000 will identify itself at the start of each SMS. To

change this see AVS 9000 system identification (ID).

Normal operation

Arming

By SMS

1. Type your PIN code and ARM (or A) Example: 000000ARM or 000000A

2. The indicators will flash once and the siren will chirp once.

3. The doors will lock (if optional central locking installed).

4. The LED light on the dash will light solid for 20 seconds.

Note: If you take longer than 38 seconds to leave the car after turning off the ignition when you press the bottom button it will DISARM not arm the system. Press it again to arm. The indicators will flash once and the siren will chirp once to confirm the system has armed. See Auto immobilisation for more information.

Door ajar warning

• If the siren chirps and the indicators flash for three seconds on arming a door is open.

• If you armed via SMS the SMS reply will include a warning Example: ALARM ARMED. DOOR AJAR WARNING

• The system will exclude that zone until it is properly closed.

Silent arm

To silently arm press the bottom and left button of the remote together.

Disarming

By SMS

1. Type your PIN code and DISARM (or D) Example: 000000DISARM or 000000D

2. The indicators will flash and the siren will chirp twice.

3. The doors will unlock (if optional central locking installed).

4. The LED light on the dash will go out. The system is now disarmed.

5. You will receive a SMS reply with the alarm state: Example: ALARM DISARMED

By remote

1. Press the bottom button.

2. The indicators will flash and the siren will chirp twice.

3. The doors will unlock (if optional central locking installed).

4. The LED light on the dash will go out. The system is now disarmed.

Note: If the siren chirps and the indicators flash four times on disarm the alarm has been triggered while you were away from the vehicle.

Auto-immobilisation

The system will immobilise 38 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The LED light on the dash will light solid to show it is in autoimmobilise mode. The system must be disarmed before the car can be started. Follow the disarming instructions.

Alarm trigger

If door, bonnet or boot is opened, or the glass break sensor or shock sensor is triggered, while the alarm is armed the siren will sound and the indicators will flash for 30 seconds. The system will then re-set itself.

SMS trigger notification

When the alarm is triggered an SMS will also be sent to all the programmed mobile phone numbers (up to five). The SMS will tell you what has triggered the alarm. Example: ALARM ACTIVATED. GLASS.

The alarm will also call the number programmed into Location 1 if there is no response to an alarm trigger by either remote or SMS. This feature can be programmed off by your installer. See page 21.

Note: If the alarm is triggered three times by the same zone (example: shock sensor) the alarm will bypass that zone until the next time you arm the system. This helps reduce false alarms caused by faulty sensors or switches.
