Setup and Installation
The Avital 3100L security system requires professional installation. Due to the complexity of vehicle electrical systems and the specific wiring requirements for security components, attempting self-installation without proper knowledge and tools can lead to damage to the system or your vehicle, and may void your warranty.
It is strongly recommended to have this system installed by an authorized Avital dealer or a certified automotive electronics technician. They possess the necessary expertise and equipment to ensure correct and safe integration with your vehicle.
Pre-Installation Considerations:
- Ensure your vehicle's battery is disconnected before any wiring work begins.
- Identify suitable mounting locations for the control module, siren, and impact sensor, ensuring they are secure and protected from moisture.
- Familiarize yourself with your vehicle's wiring diagrams to correctly identify power, ground, ignition, door trigger, and other necessary connections.
Post-Installation Steps:
- Test all system functions, including arming, disarming, remote start (if applicable and installed), keyless entry, and auxiliary outputs.
- Adjust the sensitivity of the dual-zone impact sensor to prevent false alarms while ensuring adequate protection.
- Program the remote controls to the system as per the installer's instructions.
Operating Instructions
The Avital 3100L system is operated primarily using the two included 4-button remote controls. Familiarize yourself with the button functions for optimal use.
Remote Control Functions:
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Lock Icon | Press to arm the security system and lock the vehicle doors. |
| Unlock Icon | Press to disarm the security system and unlock the vehicle doors. |
| Car Icon (Trunk/Aux) | Press and hold to activate the auxiliary output, typically used for trunk release or other programmable functions. |
| Star Icon (*) | Press to activate the Panic/Car Finder feature, causing the siren to sound and lights to flash. Press again to stop. |
Arming the System:
Press the Lock button on your remote control. The system will chirp once, and the vehicle's parking lights will flash once, indicating the system is armed and doors are locked. If a door, hood, or trunk is open, the system will chirp multiple times to alert you.
Disarming the System:
Press the Unlock button on your remote control. The system will chirp twice, and the vehicle's parking lights will flash twice, indicating the system is disarmed and doors are unlocked.
Dual-Zone Impact Sensor and Warn-Away:
The dual-zone impact sensor detects disturbances to your vehicle. A light impact will trigger the "Warn-Away" feature, which emits a low-volume, brief warning signal from the siren. A heavier impact will trigger the full alarm, causing the siren to sound continuously and lights to flash.
The sensitivity of this sensor is adjustable by your installer to suit your environment and prevent false alarms.
Maintenance
The Avital 3100L security system is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Regular care primarily involves the remote controls.
Remote Control Battery Replacement:
If your remote control's range decreases significantly or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement. Refer to the specific remote model's instructions for battery type and replacement procedure. Typically, this involves opening the remote casing and replacing a small coin-cell battery.
Note: The main control module of the security system is powered by your vehicle's electrical system and does not require battery replacement.
General Care:
- Keep remote controls dry and away from extreme temperatures.
- Avoid dropping the remote controls or subjecting them to strong impacts.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the main control module or siren yourself. Contact a professional if you suspect a malfunction.
