Installation Procedures
CAUTION: The Avital Maxx3control unit must be installed inside the vehicle. Under no circum- stances should the unit be installed under the bonnet or other similarly hostile environment.
1. Select a location under the dash that will allow you to use the screws to securely fasten the control unit.
2. Mount the control unit as high as possible to ensure maximum range.
3. Do not mount the control unit near moving parts.
4. Avoid areas that are in the direct path of air blowing from the heater vents.
5. Route wires from this point, leaving slack for ease of service.
1. Do not shorten or lengthen the antenna.
2. Route the antenna away from the control unit.
3. Keep the antenna as far away from metal and wire harnesses as possible to optimise range.
1. Discuss placement with the vehicle’s owner.
2. Choose a location for the Valet switch that is convenient for the owner to access.
3. Drill a 7mm hole and mount the switch.
1. Discuss placement with the vehicle’s owner.
2. Choose a location that is visible from both sides of the vehicle.
3. Drill a 7mm hole.
4. Insert the LED into the black mounting collar.
5. Push the LED and collar into the 7mm hole.
1. Choose a location in the engine compartment away from high temperature engine components, moving parts
and direct exposure to water.
2. Make sure the siren and siren wires cannot be seen or reached from below the vehicle.

1. Choose a location at the top of the A-pillar on both driver and passenger sides.
2. Mount the sensors using the screws provided or by inserting the mounting tabs between the dashboard and
windscreen pillar.
3. Angle the sensors towards the top centre of the rear window. If mounted at the top of the A-pillars make
sure the ultrasonic position does not affect use of the sunvisor.
4. Route the sensor cables to the control module and plug-in.
1. Follow the instructions for entering program mode on page 19. Enter program branch number 19 on page 20
listed as "Ultrasonic Sensor Test and Adjustment Mode."
2. Once in this mode the system LED will flash ON and the siren will chirp if movement is detected inside the
vehicle.
3. The sensitivity adjuster is found on the side of the main Alarm/Immobiliser Control Unit. Insert a small screw-
driver into the adjustment hole and turn the screw clockwise to increase sensitivity or anti-clockwise to
decrease sensitivity.
4. Move your arm through an open window on the vehicle as if attempting to remove an item from the seat.
The LED should illuminate and the siren should chirp to detect the movement. If it does not, then increase
the sensitivity in small increments until the optimum position is reached and the sensors do pick up the
movement. Do not over adjust the sensors as the system will false alarm. The sensitivity level should be left
at the minimum setting where the sensors pick up movement in the rear seating position.
5. When satisfied with the final sensitivity setting, you may exit Installer Ultrasonic setup mode by either
turning off the ignition or by pressing any remote control button. Program mode exit will be confirmed by
two siren chirps (one short and one long chirp).

WHITE/BLUE Channel 4 Accessory (-) Output (P1/1)
CAUTION: Do not use this output to roll-up windows on vehicles not equipped with "Total-close."
The WHITE/BLUE wire can be programmed to provide a (-) output from one second to two minutes. The wire can also be programmed to automatically activate when the alarm system is armed. This output can be used to acti­vate headlights, roll-up/down windows and close sunroofs on vehicles equipped with factory "Total-close."
PINK/BLACK Second Stage Unlock (-) Output (P1/2)
The alarm has onboard relays to lock and unlock the doors. It also incorporates a PINK/BLACK (-) output wire that will allow the customer to operate a Two-Stage Unlock feature. The second stage unlock wire provides a 400 mA, 0.75 second (-) output when activated.
CAUTION: Ask the customer at the time of installation whether they require this feature. Verify the type of central locking system the vehicle has. Carefully follow the door lock/unlock diagrams on pages 13-17.

1. Press the button once and the driver’s door only will unlock.
2. Press the button again within three seconds and the passenger doors will unlock.
VIOLET/WHITE Arm/Disarm (-) Output (300 mA maximum) (P1/3)
The VIOLET/WHITE wire can be connected to a pager or used to drive a relay when adding extra sirens. This wire
pulses to ground (-) when the siren chirps and will stay at ground for as long as the siren is sounding.
GREY/BLACK Channel 5 Accessory (-) Output (P1/4)
The GREY/BLACK wire can be programmed to provide a PULSED 0.75 second ground (-) or LATCHED output. If the
remote control button is continuously pressed when programmed for a PULSED output, the signal will stay at
ground for as long as the button is held. If the remote control button is pressed when programmed for a LATCHED
output, the signal will stay at ground until such time as the button is pressed a second time.
BROWN Coded Link for Siren (P1/5)
The BROWN wire is the siren's data connection. This wire controls whether the siren should chirp or sound, etc.
Connect the BROWN wire to the BROWN siren wire.
NOTE: Do not connect anything other than the system siren to this wire or damage may occur.
RED/WHITE (P1/6)
The RED/WHITE wire provides a 0.75 second ground (-) output when the alarm is disarmed only. This is ideal for
boot release. If the remote control button is continuously pressed, the signal will stay at ground for as long as
the button is held.
NOTE: Most boot releases are switched positive and require an additional relay.
2 BLACK Screened Wires Pre-Wired to Ultrasonic Sensors (P1/7, 8, & 9)
These wires are to be plugged into the two ultrasonic sensors.
2 WHITE & BLACK with WHITE TAG Indicator Lights (P1/10, 11, & 12)
1. If the indicator lights are positive trigger, connect the BLACK wire with WHITE tag to the constant positive
(+) battery terminal through the 20 amp fuse provided.
NOTE: Do not connect the BLACK wire with WHITE tag to the control unit BLACK wire with RED tag.
2. If the indicator lights are negative (-) trigger, connect the BLACK wire with WHITE tag to the control unit
BLACK wire with GREEN tag.
3. Connect the WHITE wires to the left and right indicator light wires on the vehicle.

1. Locate the vehicle boot pin switch that shows ground when the boot is opened.
2. Connect the BLUE/WHITE wire to the vehicle boot switch wire.
3. If the vehicle does not have a boot switch, install a pin switch and connect it to the BLUE/WHITE wire.
BLACK with ORANGE TAG Ignition Sense (+) Input (P2/3)
1. Use a voltmeter to locate the one wire that shows 12 volts when the ignition key is in the ON, CRANK and
RUN positions, and 0 volts when the ignition key is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the BLACK wire with the ORANGE tag to the vehicle ignition wire.
NOTE: Remove tag from wire after connection.
BLACK/WHITE Normally Closed (-) Trigger Input (P2/4)
The BLACK/WHITE wire is a normally closed input as opposed to the systems sensor, door, & boot/bonnet inputs which
are normally open. Some vehicles are factory fitted with normally closed bonnet pin switches which can be connected to
this wire. Or alternatively, it can be connected to ground after being looped through external ancillary equipment such
as mountain bikes, spot lamps, spare wheels, in-dash CD players, etc. The input can also be used for connection to a
heated rear window switched wire. This last option is especially useful as if the rear windscreen was removed whilst the
alarm was armed the alarm would trigger.
NOTE: If you are not going to use this Input then it must be grounded or the system will report a mal­function.
