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.

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.

triggered response description

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:

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.

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.

ddiiaaggnnoossttiiccss

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

. 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

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

than the full alarm blast.

➤ Using the 998T Bitwriter, the engine can be programmed to

run for any duration ranging from 1 to 60 minutes.

is the default. After the programmed run time, the

engine will shut down and will not restart, unless in Timer

Mode.

note: This feature will only function if the FailSafe

Starter Kill relay has been installed.

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.
