eration. The system requires no specific maintenance. This owner’s

guide should help you to get the most out of your system. Please

take the time to read it thoroughly prior to using the system. You

can print extra or replacement copies of this guide from DEI’s web-

site at www.directed.com.

Your warranty card must be returned and the bar code serial num-

ber must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned you

don’t have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of

1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference re-

ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to oper-

ate this device.

Using Your System

You can activate, or arm, the system by locking the doors with your

factory keyless entry transmitter. When the system arms, you will

hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash

once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approx-

imately twice per second, indicating that the system is actively

protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,

and notice that the status LED is flashing in groups, refer to the

Diagnostics section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass

Notification.

NOTE: If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming the sys­tem, the system will automatically disarm.

Arming

FCC/ID Notice

The system also 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 system detects that you have left the vehicle by

opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-sec-

ond passive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as

fast as it does when the system is armed. When the system arms

the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash once. The doors

will lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking).

NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally,
each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-sec­ond countdown starts over.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

■ Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away

®

signal. When trig-

gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for

a few seconds.

■ Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence

is 30 or 60 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking

lights.

■ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirp-

ing 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 transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the

system is armed, while still providing an instant response

(even if the door is immediately closed).

5

1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.

NOTE: If programmed for 15-second entry delay, the system will provide
an instant trigger 15 seconds after the door has been opened. (See
Programming Options section of this guide.)

To disarm the system, unlock the doors using your factory keyless

transmitter. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will

flash twice. If the siren chirps either four or five times when dis-

arming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called

Tamper Alert.

This feature allows you to override the system without the trans-

mitter should it be lost, damaged or disabled. To do this, you must

have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet

®

switch is

located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the

Valet

®

switch.

Turn the ignition to the “run”

position. Press and release the

Valet

®

switch, within 10 sec-

onds. After a few seconds the

LED will stop flashing and the

vehicle should start. If it does

not, you may have waited too

long. Turn the ignition off and

try again.

You can prevent your system from automatically arming and lock-

ing the doors, by using Valet

®

Mode. This is very useful when wash-

ing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet

®

Mode, the system

will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience func-

tions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally.

To enter or exit Valet

®

Mode with the Valet switch

Turn ignition to “on” position,

then turn to “off” position. Press

and release the Valet switch

within 10 seconds. The status

LED will light steady if you have

entered Valet Mode. To exit Valet

Mode, repeat the steps above.

The LED will turn off when exit-

ing Valet Mode.

Remote Valet is a convenient feature that makes bypassing the

security system easier. This feature makes it possible to exit or

enter Valet Mode using your factory keyless transmitter.

1. Open any door.

2. Press the lock button on your transmitter.

3. Press the unlock button on your transmitter.

4. Press the lock button on your transmitter again.

The status LED will stay on if you have entered Valet Mode, and it

will go out if you exited Valet Mode.

NOTE: Remote Valet will not work with all factory keyless entry systems.
Some keyless entry systems do not work with a door open.

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

attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just

press the lock button on your factory keyless transmitter twice

within three seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and

the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To stop Panic Mode at

any time, press the unlock button on your factory transmitter.

NOTE: The system can also be programmed so that pressing the lock but­ton twice within three seconds will activate an optional accessory . If the
unit is programmed to activate an optional accessory, Panic Mode will not
be operational.

Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry

Your system has Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry (NPC™). This cir-

cuitry prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty

door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder,

jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

Here’s how it works:

The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor or

switch is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within 60

Panic Mode

minutes of each other. Your system will interpret this pattern of

triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, your system

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 system while it is being

bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures

that a sensor that continuously triggers will remain bypassed.

Doors are covered differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open

door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors

will be bypassed 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 this circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and appear
to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming,false alarm pro­tection has engaged. If you wish to clear the memory, turn the ignition
key on.

Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon-

itoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects

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.

9

1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.

If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor

triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then

one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass

Notification.

NOTE: Bypass Notification will not occur if chirps have been programmed
OFF.

The system will ignore the input that was active when it was

armed until it goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that

input normally. For example, if your car has interior light exit

delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out,

you may get bypass notification. Once the light goes out, howev-

er, the doors are monitored normally.

Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard

when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five

chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that false

alarm prevention circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case,

the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of

Zones section). The system will retain this information in its mem-

ory, and chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the

next time the ignition key is turned on.

The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system

to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed

below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or

switches you have had installed.

ZONE

(Number DEALER-INSTALLED

LED Flashes) DESCRIPTION OPTIONS

1

Instant trigger - often used
for hood/trunk pin switches

2 Instant trigger - a heavier impact

detected by the shock sensor

3 Door switch trigger

4 Optional sensor

5 Ignition trigger

If the Warn Away®response is triggered, the LED will not report it.

Rapid Resume Logic

This DEI®system will store its current state to non-volatile mem-

ory. 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 ser-

vicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still

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

ing arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.

Programming Options

Programming options control what your system does during nor-

mal operation, and require little or no additional parts. However,

some may require additional installation labor.

The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory

settings in bold:

■ Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming

(automatic arming 30-seconds after closing the last door).

■ Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off.

■ Passive door locking (with passive arming). This feature only

works if passive arming has been turned on.

■ Valet Pulse Count: The number of pulses of the valet/program

switch required to disarm the security system are programma­ble from one to five pulses. The default setting is one pulse.

■ Siren Tones and Chirp Volume: The output of the soft chirp siren

consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of these tones
can be eliminated by your dealer, resulting in a unique, easily
identifiable siren sound. The chirps can either be full volume or
six decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.

■ Siren duration: The length of the triggered sequence can be pro-

grammed for 30 or 60 seconds.

■ Door Trigger Instant or delayed: In the standard configuration

the unit will provide a progressive response if the door is
opened while the system is armed. The siren will chirp and the
parking lights will flash for a few seconds followed by a full trig-

12

©

1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.

ger response. In the delayed mode, nothing will happen for 15
seconds once the door is opened. After 15 seconds the unit will
trigger the full trigger response.

■ Panic/Auxiliary Channel: This unit has the ability to control an

optional accessory, such as power window control. In the
default setting, pressing the lock button twice will activate
panic mode. If the unit is programmed for auxiliary channel,
pressing the lock button twice will activate that channel.
Utilizing the auxiliary channel is optional and requires addi­tional parts and labor and results in the loss of panic mode.

Security & Convenience

Expansions

Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options

available. Please consult your dealer for a complete list of options

available for use with your system.

Domelight Supervision: The domelight will illuminate for 30 sec-

onds each time the system is disarmed using the transmitter. This

is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to entering it.

Valet

®

Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet

®

Start System can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and

power your climate control system with a push of a button! Over-

rev protection, open-hood lockout, brake-pedal shutoff, and auto-

matic timer shutoff are all included. (Only for automatic-transmis-

sion, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles).

13

1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.

Power Window Control: Power window control is provided with

the 529T or 530T systems.

Failsafe

®

Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the secu-

rity system which 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 kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature,

however installation of this feature may require additional labor.

Glossary of Terms

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

neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor

that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions.

LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to

indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-

gers and faults in the system or sensors.

Valet

®

Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere

inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-

mitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet

®

Mode.

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.
