The 554 remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorpo-
rates Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board Responder
Technology remote control. 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 554 control module sends to the remote
control as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system
status.
When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page
notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps or remote
vibration) and the LCD Icons will display the current system
status.
➜
14
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
Command Page
When a command (arm/disarm, remote start, or auxiliary
channel) from the remote control is sent and received, the system
will send a command page back to confirm receipt.
Alarm Page
If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will
be sent to the remote control. After receipt of an Alarm Page, the
LCD icons will display the alarm system status information and
the remote control will generate Alarm Page alerts.
An Alarm Page alert is a single beep or vibration from the remote
control every 60 seconds to alert the user that the alarm system
was triggered and will continue until the alarm page is cleared.
Page Recognition Mode
The remote control will leave a zone icon illuminated when it has
received a triggered response and will wait for you to recognize
the violation. Press any button on the remote control, the LCD
information and Alarm Page alerts will be cleared.
note: The remote control buttons will not send a command to the system until the alarm page is cleared.
note: If the transmiter is paged with an Alarm Page and
the WarnAway®is triggered before the Alarm Page is
recieved the transmitter will report the WarnAway®only
until the system is disarmed.
note: When the system is in Valet mode, the remote control will show the lock (5) and unlock (6) icons, but will
not generate a command page.

A Triggered Response can be activated by any of the triggers listed
below and consists of an alarm page along with the response
described for each trigger. The default Triggered Response dura-
tion is 30 seconds but can be programmed from 1-180 seconds
by your installer with the Directed Bitwriter.
➤
SSeennssoorr TTrriiggggeerr
- Heavy impacts to the vehicle will instantly
sound the siren and flash the lights for the programmed
duration and report Zone 2.
➤
DDoooorr TTrriiggggeerr
- If a door is opened the siren will chirp for three
seconds, then the siren will sound and the lights will flash for
the programmed duration and report Zone 3. The three
seconds allow the user time to disarm the system with a
minimum of noise should a door be opened inadvertently
while the system is armed.
➤
HHoooodd TTrriiggggeerr
- Opening the hood will sound the siren, flash
the lights for the programmed duration, and report Zone 6.
➤
TTrruunnkk TTrriiggggeerr
- Opening the trunk (if connected) will
instantly sound the siren and flash the lights for the
programmed duration and report Zone 1.
➤
IIggnniittiioonn TTrriiggggeerr
- If the ignition is turned on the siren will
chirp for three seconds, then the siren will sound and the lights
will flash for the programmed duration and report Zone 5.
When a Triggered Response is activated the remote control will:

The alarm will only respond to the door trigger inputs and the
Fail-Safe starter kill will not be activated.
Arming while driving
Press for two seconds while the vehicle is running. The
vehicle’s siren will chirp, the lights will flash, and the doors will
lock (if unlocked). Then a Bypass Notification chirp will be heard
and the status LED will blink in a pattern of five indicating the
ignition is on.
The remote control will beep once (or vibrate). The arm icon (7) will
flash for three seconds and the armed status icon will be displayed on
the LCD. It will then generate a Bypass Notification beep and flash
the ignition input indicator icon (15) five times.

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 triggered, without disarming the system. If the
system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer
than six seconds, press any button on the remote control to stop
the page, then press on the remote control to 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 any button to clear the remote control page and
within the first six seconds will stop the Trigger response and
disarm the system. The six second timer is there for your conve-
nience in case the system was accidentally triggered.
disarming without a transmitter (emergency override)
If your remote control transmitter is lost or damaged, you can
manually disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the
system without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition
key and know where the Valet
®
switch is located. Be sure to check
with your installer at the time of installation for both the location
and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet
®
switch.

To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON posi-
tion. Press the Valet button the
preset number of times (one to five
times) within 5 seconds. The
factory preset is one. 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.

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your remote control. Just
press for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The
siren will sound and the parking lights will flash. To stop Panic
Mode press on the remote control again.
The remote control will beep twice (or vibrate) when the system
enters panic mode. The remote control will not generate a Page
Notification when panic mode is exited.
valet mode
You can prevent your security system from passive arming 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 control, but all convenience functions
(door locks, trunk release, remote starting, etc.) will continue to
work normally.
➜
note: Once Panic Mode has been entered, the siren will
sound for 30 seconds.
➜
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. Only the Warn Away®response is bypassed.

This system has several important safety features to ensure
proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to
the engine or its components.
starter anti-grind circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind
circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is
turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter
motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start
operation.
disabling the remote start system
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be
temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote
started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being
serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote
start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position.
The switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check
with your installer for recommended locations.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
➜
note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote
start system is operating the motor and the Failsafe®
Starter Kill relay is installed.
➜
34
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
over and under rev protection
The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically
shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the
programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor
due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may
cause the engine to race.
shut down inputs
This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote
start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain
inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake
inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as
well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake
pedal will shut down the motor at any time during remote start
operation, as well as preventing the remote start from activating
while it is being pressed.
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.
➜
➜
note: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to
sense engine speed. This wire must be connected in order
for over and under rev protection to work.
➜
35
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
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 cycles,
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.

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), the system
will generate a Bypass Notification. This 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 Bypass Notification. Once the light turns off,
however, the security system resumes normal monitoring.
➜
37
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
disarming diagnostics
Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are indi-
cating a Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming
the system, a triggered response was generated in your absence.
If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was
triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection Circuitry
™
has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED and
remote control LCD will indicate which zone was triggered (see
Table of Zones section). The security system will retain this infor-
mation 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.
Action Number of Chirps/ Description
Remote Beeps

table of zones
A zone is represented by the LED flashes and remote control LCD
icons used by the system to identify a particular type of input.
Standard input assignments are listed in the following table.

interpreting zone diagnostics
Warn Away responses are not reported by the arming or
disarming diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when
arming or a Tamper Alert notification when disarming, look at
the LED or remote control LCD. Active or triggered zones will
be indicated by a pattern of blinks by the LED or the remote
control icon will indicate the triggered zone.
Example
If Zone 3 was active or triggered, the LED will blink three times
with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three times again,
➜
➜
39
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
and repeat until the ignition is turned on and the door icon (9)
will be displayed on the remote control.
➤ Arming and disarming diagnostics (including Warn Away
®
responses) are reported by the remote control on the LCD.
➤ When a Bypass Notification is generated during arming the
remote control LCD will flash the triggered zones five times
then turn off.
➤ To review zones that have been bypassed press 10
seconds after arming the system. The bypassed zones will
again flash five times and turn off.
➤ When a Tamper Alert notification is generated upon
disarming, the triggered zones will flash on the remote
control LCD five times then turn off.
➤ To review the zones that have been triggered press the
button. They flash five times again, then turn off.
note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones in
memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED
has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can
still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact
your dealer for details.

The receiver and transmitters use a mathematical formula called
an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is
used. This technology has been developed to increase the secu-
rity of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should
be. This helps to keep the transmitter “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 transmitters normally.

Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only
from Directed. Using a Directed Bitwriter, hand-held program-
ming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings.
The programmer makes it possible to program different settings
for each transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenev-
er a specific transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings
assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition lets up to four
users of the system have different settings that meet their specific
needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your
vehicle, one for each user.

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.
ppoowweerr ssaavveerr mmooddee
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while
armed or in Valet
®
Mode, after a period of time in which no
operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw on
the vehicle's battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the
following conditions:
➤ Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has
been armed for 24 hours the LED will flash at half its
normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter and the necessary software. Check with
your dealer for more information.
42

➤ Power Saver in Valet
®
Mode: When the system enters Valet
®
Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used
(ignition is not turned on) for a one hour period while the
system is in Valet
®
Mode, the LED will shut off. If the
system remains in Valet
®
Mode, the LED will come back on
the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off.

Programming options control your system's normal, operational
set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some
may require installation labor.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the
factory settings in Bold.
➤
AAccttiivvee
arming (remote control only) or passive arming
(automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been
closed).
➤ Arming/disarming siren chirps

or off.
➤ The ignition controlled door lock feature
oonn
or off: When
this feature is programmed on, the doors will lock three
seconds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the
ignition is turned off. If your installer is programming the
security system with the Directed Bitwriter, ignition lock
and unlock are independent features that can be
programmed separately.
43
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
➤ Passive door locking (with passive arming) or
aaccttiivvee ddoooorr
lloocckkiinngg
(only when arming with the remote control). Passive
locking allows the vehicle's doors to lock when the security
system passively arms (after the 30-second countdown). This
feature only works if passive arming has been programmed.
➤ Panic mode
eennaabblleedd
/disabled when the ignition is turned
on. (Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving
cars.)
➤ Forced passive arming
oonn
or off. If your security system is
programmed for passive arming and the forced passive
arming feature has been programmed on, the system will
passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has
been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the
system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar
when leaving the vehicle.
➤ Full trigger response
3300
or 60 seconds: This determines how
long the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws
regulating how long a security system can sound before it is
considered a nuisance. If your installer is programming the
security system with the Directed Bitwriter, the full triggered
response can be programmed for any duration ranging from
1 to 180 seconds.
note: When the system passively arms after one hour, the
entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger
the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system
are fully operational.
44
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
➤ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or
ooffff
. The purpose of
this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If
AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be
disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the
key is turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its
normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle.
Thirty seconds later, the starter will be disabled. To start the
car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the trans-
mitter. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by
turning the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing
the Valet
®
button the programmed number of times. AED
is also disabled when the system is in Valet
®
mode.
➤ Siren tones and arm/disarm chirp volume. The output of the
Revenger
™
Soft Chirp™siren consists of six different tones in
sequence. Any of these tones can be eliminated by a dealer,
resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The
arm/disarm chirps can be either full volume or
66 ddeecciibbeellss

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.
Hood Lock:
Prevents the vehicle’s hood from being opened
without a key, keeping thieves away from the system’s siren, the
battery connections, and other components under the hood.
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.
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.
Mobile Video:
This system is compatible with Directed Video’s
MCB1000 Multi-Channel Controller, featuring on-screen secu-
rity system programming and zone trigger information.

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.
Fail-Safe Starter Kill:
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.
LED:
A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system and as a
visual deterrent.
Protected Entry:
A protected entry is a door, hood, trunk, sliding
window, camper door or any other opening into the vehicle that
can be connected to the alarm with a switch.
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. Lighter impacts will generate a Warn Away

response while harder impacts will generate a full-trigger response.
Remote Control:
A hand-held device that operates the various
functions of your system and communicates system status.
Triggered Sequence:
This is what happens when the alarm “goes
off” or “trips.” The triggered response of your system consists of
the siren sounding and parking lights flashing for the
programmed duration.
Valet Switch:
A small push button mounted at a discretionary
location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the starter inter-
rupt when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit
Valet Mode and for programming when the 998T Bitwriter is
not available.
Warn Away Response:
Lighter impacts to the vehicle will
generate the Warn Away 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.
