system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance other than battery

replacement for the remotes.

LCD 2-Way Remote Battery Replacement

The 2-way remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The

Battery Level indicator has three level indicators that serve as a

visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a

low charge level that requires replacement, the transceiver will

generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level indi-

cator will flash continuously.

➜

9

© 2008 directed electronics—all rights reserved

To replace the battery, gently pull the battery cover release tab, then

slide the door down to expose the battery and remove the expired

battery. Place the new battery into the transceiver observing the

correct polarity. When power is returned the transceiver will light

all icons in the LCD and generate a musical tone.

4-Button Remote Battery Replacement

Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium

battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year under

normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range

will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

your warranty

Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and

returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty

will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.

Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.

It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects

that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.

LCD 2-way remote operation

The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates

Directed’s proprietary A.S.K. out-board two-way transceiver. The

high frequency combined with Binary Data communication

achieves superior range with two-way communication.

system signal paging features

A page is the signal the control module sends to the transceiver as

confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.

When the transceiver receives a page it will generate a page notifi-

cation to the user (notifications are audible beeps or the remote

vibrates) and the LCD icons will display the current system status.

Command Page

When a command (arm/disarm, or auxiliary channel) from the

transceiver is sent and received, the system will send a command

page back to confirm receipt.

Page Recognition Mode

The transceiver will leave a zone icon illuminated when it has

received a triggered response and will wait for violation recogni-

tion. Press any button on the transceiver, the LCD information

and alarm page alerts will be cleared.

note: The transceiver buttons will not send a command
to the system until the alarm page is cleared.

using your system

active arming

You can arm the system by pressing of your remote for one

second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound,

or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door

locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While

the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately once

per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your

vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the

status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of

this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification, which

indicates that a security sensor or switch has been bypassed and

the system is not monitoring that area (zone) of the vehicle.

passive arming

The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called

passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it

will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off

and the last protected entry has been closed. (e.g. the system detects

that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door.)

Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming countdown,

the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is

armed. If the system is programmed for Passive Arming, care must

be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.

important: Due to the complexity of this system, instal­lation of this product must only be performed by an
authorized Directed dealer.

When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:

➤ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away

®

signal. When triggered,

the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.

➤ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence

consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking

lights flashing for 30 seconds.

➤ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start

chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three

seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast.

This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system

with your remote if you inadvertently open the door while

the system is armed.

➤ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive re-

sponse as opening a door.

➤ The starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.

warn away®response description

A Warn Away®Response consists of an alarm page along with the

responses described below.

note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a

high security disarm

This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security

Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the

system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the

system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer

than six seconds, pressing on the remote will stop the trigger

and return the unit to the armed state. The system will not

disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the

system should you wish to disarm it without visually checking the

vehicle. Pressing after resetting the system will disarm the

system; pressing this button during the first six seconds of the

triggered sequence will disarm the security system immediately.

The six second timer is provided for your convenience, in case the

system is accidentally triggered.

disarming without a remote

If your remote is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your

vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a remote,

you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the

Valet button is located. Be sure to check with your installer at the

time of installation for the location of the Valet button.

➜

To disarm the security system,

turn the ignition to the ON posi-

tion. Press the Valet button

within 15 seconds. After five

seconds, the system will disarm. If

the system does not disarm, you

may have waited too long; turn

the ignition off and on and try

again.

Location of Valet Button_________________________________

silent mode

To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent

Mode™. Simply press for less than one second before

arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim-

inated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm

chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.

note: The Warn Away®response to lighter impacts is
bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This
ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an
area you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable
of triggering by heavy impacts. Only the Warn Away

®

response is bypassed.

panic mode

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract

attention by triggering the system with your remote. Just press

for 1.5 seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren

will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed

siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press

,,

or .

The LCD 2-way remote will beep (or vibrate) continuously when

the system enters panic mode. The 2-way remote will not

generate a page notification when panic mode is exited.

valet mode

You can prevent your security system from automatically arming

and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when

washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the

security system will not arm, even with the remote, but all conve-

nience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to

work normally. You can access Valet Mode either manually or

with the remote.

To enter or exit Valet Mode manually:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Turn the ignition off.

3. Press and release the Valet

button within 10 seconds.

The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode,

and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode.

setting the clock

To set the clock press and hold for five seconds, the trans-

ceiver will chirp twice and the hour selection will start flashing.

Immediately press to advance the hour selection or to

reverse the hour selection. Once the correct hour is displayed

press again and the minute selection will start flashing. Then

press to advance the minute selection or to reverse the

minute selection. Once the correct time is displayed simply stop

pressing any buttons for 15 seconds and the transceiver will auto-

matically exit the clock mode.

nuisance prevention®circuitry

Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry

(NPC

®

). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to

faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as

thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

➜

➜

25

© 2008 directed electronics—all rights reserved

Example

If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and

each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC

®

will

interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger,

NPC

®

ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any

other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.

If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it

is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over.

This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will

remain bypassed.

The vehicle doors are protected by NPC

®

differently. If your

security system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-

second cycles (one and one half minutes), the system will bypass

the doors until the trigger ceases.

note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset
this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are
for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the igni­tion. If testing your system, it is important to remember
that the NPC

®

programming can cause zones to be
bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are
heard when disarming, NPC

®

has been engaged. If you

wish to clear the NPC®memory, turn the ignition on.

diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly

monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is

designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents

them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will

also record and report any triggers that occurred during your

absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones

sections of this guide for diagnostic information.

arming diagnostics

If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is

active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear

one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indi-

cate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that

the security system ignores the input that was active when the

system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that

input ceases, the security system will resume normal monitoring.

For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you

arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you

may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Three seconds after

the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal

monitoring.

note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the sys­tem is in Silent Mode or if the notification chirps have
been programmed off by the installer.

➜

27

© 2008 directed electronics—all rights reserved

disarming diagnostics

Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the

Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the

system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If

five chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was trig-

gered so many times that the Nuisance Protection

®

Circuitry has

bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate

which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The secu-

rity system will retain this information in its memory and chirp

four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time

that the ignition is turned on.

system status chirps

The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The

pattern of chirps will audibly report the system’s status as

described below.

code hopping

The receiver and remotes use a mathematical formula called an

algorithm to change their code each time the remote is used.

This technology has been developed to increase the security of

the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should be.

This helps to keep the remote “in sync” with the control unit

even if you use the remote control out of range of the vehicle.

However, if the remote has been pressed many times out of range

of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may fall out of

sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-

sync the remote simply press several times within range of

➜

the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to

the remote normally.

high frequency

Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a

cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal.

Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range, even in areas with high

radio interference.

rapid resume logic

This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile

memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will

recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in

Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such

as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will

still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system

including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.

security & convenience expansions

Listed below are some of the many expansion options available.

Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the

options available to you.

Audio Sensor:

Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking

glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio

sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them

with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has

been struck.

Backup Battery:

The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the

alarm and keeps the starter interrupt active if main battery is dis-

connected.

Field Disturbance Sensor:

An invisible dome of coverage is estab-

lished by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can

react to any intrusions into this field with the full triggered

sequence.

Power Locks:

This system offers lock outputs that can control

some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other

systems, additional parts may be required.

Power Trunk Release:

The accessory output of the system can op-

erate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.

Although the on-board relay can control most power trunk re-

leases, sometimes an optional relay is required. If the factory

release is not power-activated, Directed

®

's 522T trunk release

solenoid can often be added.

32

© 2008 directed electronics—all rights reserved

Power Window Control:

Automatic power window control is pro-

vided with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate

power windows, and can roll them up automatically when the

system is armed, roll them down, or both up and down.

installation options

Installation options may require additional parts or labor. Please

consult your dealer.

PPrrooggrreessssiivvee UUnnlloocckkiinngg::

With electric power door locks, the

system can be configured so that when disarmed, only the

driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the disarm button within

15 seconds of disarming unlocks the remaining doors.

HHoorrnn HHoonnkk::

If connected, the horn will sound if the alarm is

either triggered by an intrusion or activated by Panic Mode. (In

most vehicles, this feature requires that an additional relay be

installed.)

IInntteerriioorr LLiigghhtt IIlllluummiinnaattiioonn::

The interior domelight can be

configured to illuminate for 30 seconds after the alarm is

disarmed. If the system is rearmed during that 30-second period,

the interior light illumination will terminate until the alarm is

disarmed once again.

glossary of terms

Control Unit:

The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-

neath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the

microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all

system functions.

Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt:

An automatic switch controlled by

your system that prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking

whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented

from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet mode, or if

the starter interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature-

ready circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may

require additional labor.

Input:

A physical connection to the system. An input can be

provided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the

vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.

LCD 2-Way Remote:

A hand-held, transceiver which operates and

monitors the various functions of your system.

LED:

A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the

vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.

Shock Sensor:

This system has a dual zone shock sensor. This

sensor is mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up impacts

to the vehicle or glass.

34

© 2008 directed electronics—all rights reserved

Trigger or Triggered Sequence:

This is what happens when the

alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your

system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing

for the programmed duration.

Valet Button:

A small push-button switch mounted at a discre-

tionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the

starter interrupt when a remote is lost or damaged, or to enter or

exit Valet Mode.

Warning Zone Response:

Lighter impacts to the vehicle will

generate the Warning Zone response. It consists of several

seconds of siren chirps and parking light flashes.

Zone:

A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as

unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular

zone. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
