Passenger Compartment Connections Control Unit and Extended Range Receiver The AvantGuard 4 control unit must be installed inside the vehicle. Under no circumstances should the unit be installed under the hood or other similarly hostile environment. 1. Select an area behind the dash to mount the control unit using wire ties, but do not permanently affix it until all wiring and testing is complete. 2. Plug the extended range receiver in to the control unit.
PAGE 9
Parking Lights See the Door Trigger & Parking Lights sections in this binder. NightVision Light Sensor 1. Mount the Light Sensor in a discreet location on the dashboard. The light sensor must be positioned in such a way that the light “eye” can detect light coming through the windshield. 2. Connect the BLACK twinlead connector from the light sensor to the GRAY twinlead from the 24-pin connector. Windshield Wipers 1. Using a DVM, test the wiper switch output line going to the motor.
PAGE 10
Secondary Ignition or Heater/AC Wire More and more vehicles are being manufactured with two ignition or two heater/AC wires in order to split up the power requirements of the temperature control system, on-board computers, fuel delivery system, electronic transmisssion control, etc. If you are working on such a vehicle, you will find two wires that both test as ignition lines or two wires that supply the heater/AC.
PAGE 11
Factory Theft Deterrent Bypass The wires noted below are to disarm a vehicle’s factory alarm system to permit remote starting. For more information on the vehicle on which you are installing the AvantGuard 4, download this information from our www.clifforddealer.com website, our AutoFax service or ring our Dealer Technical Support Helpline. 1. The BLUE/ORANGE wire is a negative out whenever the vehicle is remotely started. It can be used for extra ignition relays or for factory alarm bypass.
PAGE 12
Engine Bay Connections RPM Monitoring This is required for both RPM-activated automatic door locking, remote engine starting and BlackJax Anti-Carjacking features. See the RPM Monitoring section in this binder for information. Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 The siren transmits a two-way digital signal between itself and the control unit. If a thief disconnects power and/or cuts or tampers with any or all of the siren wires while the system is armed, the siren will sound for five minutes and then reset.
PAGE 13
MANDATORY RPM PROGRAMMING Note: This MANDATORY programming step must be completed for the AvantGuard 4 to operate properly. 1. Drive the vehicle to a nearby open area and allow the engine to warm-up until the RPMs drop to the normal idle speed. 2. With the engine still running and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, enter the factory preset PIN code of “2” by pressing the PlainView 2 Switch’s ✱ button two times, then press the blank button. 3.
PAGE 14
Remote Control Operation The AvantGuard 4 comes with two ergonomically designed remote controls: a 16-channel master remote and a 4-channel secondary “companion” remote. Up to a total of four AvantGuard 4 type remote controls can be added to the AvantGuard 4 system. Due to the ACG 2 feature on the AvantGuard 4 system, older Clifford ACG and non-ACG remotes are incompatible with the AvantGuard 4. Master Remote Control Operation To transmit either channel 1, 2, 3 or 4: Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4.
PAGE 15
Sensor Adjustment Digital/Tilt Motion Sensor The Digital Tilt Motion Sensor is completely self-adjusting. No sensitivity settings or adjustments are ever required. Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor Be aware that the Proximity Sensor uses radar waves to detect movement. These waves pass through nonmetallic materials like plastic, carpet, glass and wood.
PAGE 16
FACT—False Alarm Control and Test The system microprocessor automatically checks for another activated sensor or trigger before sounding the siren a second time, thus preventing any further false alarms. If you wish to test FACT, simply: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Arm the system with the remote control. Wait 10 seconds after the interior light turns off, then trigger the Proximity Sensor to activate the siren. Do not disarm the system, let the siren complete its cycle. Trigger the sensor again.
PAGE 17
Programmable Features AvantGuard 4 comes from the factory with its features preprogrammed as noted in bold letters in the following tables. Some features can be programmed by the installer or the user, others can only be programmed by the installer. There are two tables provided which define the user-programmable and installer-programmable features.
PAGE 18
n NOTE 1: o Press button 1 on the master remote, you will hear one chirp. Press button 1 again, you will hear two chirps. o Auto Programming is for master remotes only. Companion remotes must be programmed via the column four selections or via the CliffNet Wizard Pro installation software. n NOTE 2: When this feature is selected, siren sound 1 will play for five seconds. Press marked to turn the siren sound off, press blank to activate the sound. Next, siren sound 2 will play for five seconds.
PAGE 19
n NOTE 1: Once this feature is selected, one chirp is provided to indicate that the timer has started. You can set this anywhere from one second to 4.25 minutes (255 seconds). When the desired duration has been reached, press the blank side of the PlainView 2 switch. The system responds with two chirps to confirm the new system timer duration. n NOTE 2: You must reprogram RPM’s after selecting gas or diesel in order for this setting to take effect.

feature has been programmed using the chart on page 20. If the windows still do not roll up upon arming, refer to the Window RollUp section of this binder to insure that the Window RollUp wiring has been interfaced correctly. WARNING: If the windows do not close, DO NOT activate the vehicle’s window switches. If the windows have been miswired, doing so may damage the AvantGuard 4 control unit, the vehicle’s electrical system and/or the power window motors. Step 6. Test the door locks.
PAGE 22
Step 10. Test the door trigger circuit. Rearm the system. Wait at least 10 seconds (if the vehicle has delayed or dimming courtesy lights, be sure to wait until the interior lights have turned off). Use the key to unlock and open the driver’s door. n Siren sounds, Parking lights flash repeatedly. This is the correct response, proceed to step 11. (You can silence the siren by pressing button 1 on the remote control or disarm by pressing button 1 two times.) n Siren does not sound immediately.
PAGE 23
Step 16. Test the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature. Refer to the System Check section in the BlackJax 4 section of this binder. Step 17. Test the Digital/Tilt Motion Sensor. Arm the system and wait for 10 seconds (wait two-minutes if the wireloop delay was cut). Using a jack, raise the vehicle slowly and the alarm will trigger at 1 degree. If not, o Wait a longer amount of time after arming prior to raising the vehicle. o Make sure the tilt sensor is properly mounted and connected. Step 18.

Test 5: Leave the engine running. It should turn itself off after 30 minutes. If the IntelliStart 4 remote engine starter does not pass any of the above tests, verify all wiring connections and retest the system thoroughly. FOR ALL MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS: 1) Start the car using the ignition key. 2) Set the emergency brake. 3) Set the heat or AC to ON. 4) MAKE SURE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL.
