The AVS 3010 range is a comprehensive vehicle security system designed to provide robust protection and convenient features for your car. This system integrates advanced security measures with user-friendly controls, ensuring both peace of mind and ease of operation.
At its core, the AVS 3010 range offers dual on-board immobilisation, which prevents the engine from starting without proper authorization, significantly deterring theft. It also includes full central locking capabilities, allowing you to lock and unlock all doors with a single command. The system features indicator flash relays, providing visual confirmation of arming and disarming actions.
The AVS 3010+ model enhances these features with a plug-in two-stage shock sensor and a battery back-up siren. The two-stage shock sensor provides a warning chirp for minor impacts and a full alarm trigger for more significant disturbances, offering nuanced protection against tampering and forced entry. The battery back-up siren ensures that the alarm continues to sound even if the vehicle's main power supply is cut, adding an extra layer of security.
The system's arming process is straightforward: pressing the arm button on the remote once will arm the system, chirp the siren, flash the indicators, and lock the doors. A 20-second arming delay allows you to exit the vehicle before the system fully activates. For the AVS 3010+, the shock sensor can be temporarily disabled during arming by pressing the arm button twice within three seconds, useful in situations where minor vibrations might trigger false alarms. The shock sensor automatically reactivates upon the next disarm and arm cycle.
Disarming the system is equally simple: pressing the disarm button on the remote will chirp the siren three times, flash the indicators, and unlock the doors. In the event of a triggered alarm, the system employs a two-stage disarm process: the first press of the disarm button silences the siren, and a second press fully disarms the alarm and unlocks the doors.
An error zone report feature provides immediate feedback if any zones are open when the system is armed. The siren will chirp after four seconds, and the number of chirps corresponds to the specific open zone (e.g., one chirp for doors, two for bonnet/boot). Similarly, a triggered zone report indicates which zone caused an alarm activation. When the system is disarmed and the ignition is turned ON, the LED will flash a number of times to identify the triggered zone. To prevent false alarms, any zone that triggers four times continuously will be automatically isolated.
The system also includes a panic/car finder function, activated by pressing the arm button for two seconds, which triggers the alarm to help locate your vehicle or deter potential threats. A boot release function, if connected, allows you to open the boot and disarm the alarm by pressing the boot release button on the remote.
For added convenience, the AVS 3010 range offers auto arm/immobilisation, which can be programmed to automatically arm (without locking doors) and immobilise the vehicle 30 seconds after the ignition is switched OFF and a door is opened and closed. This feature is off by default. An auto re-arm and re-lock feature will automatically re-arm and re-lock the doors if the alarm is disarmed but no door is opened within 30 seconds. This is also off by default. The in-car lock feature automatically locks the doors on the second press of the brake pedal after the ignition is turned ON and unlocks them when the ignition is turned OFF. This feature is not programmable; if not desired, the brake sense wire should be disconnected.
The AVS 3010 range is designed for ease of use with its rolling code remotes, which can have up to three remotes coded at any time. Programming new remotes involves a simple sequence: disarm the alarm, open and close a door, enter the PIN code by cycling the ignition key, wait for indicator flashes, and then press the arm button on each new remote. It's important to note that entering remote programming mode will delete all existing remotes, requiring all remotes to be recoded at that time.
The system's programmable features allow for customization to suit individual preferences and vehicle requirements. These include:
The system incorporates several features that contribute to its reliability and ease of maintenance. The PIN code override mechanism is a critical maintenance feature, allowing the alarm to be disarmed even without a remote. If a remote is lost or damaged, the user can disarm the alarm by opening and closing the driver's door, then cycling the ignition key according to the set PIN code. The system will confirm successful disarming with three chirps.
The PIN code itself can be adjusted, providing flexibility and enhanced security. When entering PIN programming mode, the system defaults back to 5, meaning that if you wish to change the PIN to, for example, 10, you would press the arm button five times, as the previous PIN is deleted upon entering this mode. This ensures a consistent starting point for PIN adjustments.
The shock sensor on the AVS 3010+ model is adjustable via a potentiometer on top of the sensor. This allows for fine-tuning its sensitivity to avoid false alarms while ensuring adequate protection. It is recommended to mount the sensor securely to the vehicle body, avoiding the steering column to prevent vibrations from triggering the alarm. Care must be taken not to overtighten the potentiometer, as it does not turn a full 360 degrees.
The battery back-up siren, exclusive to the AVS 3010+, has its own battery and charging system. This self-sustaining power source means it will continue to function and sound the alarm even if the vehicle's main power is disconnected, providing continuous protection. The siren is supplied with keys for maintenance or replacement.
The system's ability to report triggered zones and error zones aids in troubleshooting and maintenance. If the alarm is triggered, the LED flashes indicate which zone was activated, helping to identify potential vulnerabilities or faulty sensors. Similarly, error zone reports inform the user if any zones are open upon arming, allowing for immediate corrective action.
Overall, the AVS 3010 range is designed to be a robust, user-friendly, and maintainable security solution for vehicles, offering a blend of advanced protection and convenient features.
