Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle

security system. This system has been designed to provide years

of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system,

it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of

this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the

warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-

cates to verify that they are authorized.

This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your

system. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.

note: On both remotes the panic button is the same color.

system maintenance

This system needs no specific maintenance beyond 2-way

remote control battery replacement. The 2-way remote is

powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The 1-way remote is powered

by a pair of 3V CR2016 batteries.

Low Battery Notification

If the battery is low (and this feature is programmed On) the 2-

way remote will emit 2 long beeps 5-seconds after a transmission

is completed. The 2 long beeps will repeat every 25 seconds up

to 3 times (or until a 2-way remote button is pressed).

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the

remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and

remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the

remote control observing the correct polarity. When power is

returned the remote control will light all icons and generate

melodies (representing all beeper tones).

your warranty

Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code

serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration

is not returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also necessary

to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product

was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive

the warranty registration from your dealer.

This system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-

mitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially

comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also

be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the

instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard

Configuration transmitter.

The system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s propri-

etary out-board technology 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 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) and the

LED Icons will display the current system status.

Command Page

When a command (arm/disarm, 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. When the remote receives an

Alarm Page, the LED icons will display the alarm system status

information and the remote control will generate beeps.

An Alarm Page alert is a series of 10 or 4 rapid beeps and the Red

LED will illuminate. This will repeat every 60 seconds to alert

the user that the alarm system was triggered and will continue

➜

16

© 2006 directed electronics

until the alarm page is cleared.

If the shock sensor or optional sensor has triggered the alarm the

remote will display the alarm page with 6 Red LED flashes and

10 rapid beeps.

If the trunk, door, ignition, or hood triggered the alarm the

remote will display the alarm page with the Red LED illumi-

nating for 3-seconds and 4 rapid beeps (repeated 5 times)

Page Recognition (Acknowledgement)

To clear a page alert/notification, quickly press any button on

the remote control. This can be performed at any time during or

after the page notification has occurred.

The remote control will not send a command to the system at

this time; it will only clear future repeats of the page notification.

The next time a button is pressed on the remote control it will

send a command to the system.

out of range notification

If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is

beyond the range of the vehicle to receive the command, the

remote responds with 3 sets of 2 quick beeps and the Green LED

will flash 6-times.

To exit programming mode

The 2-way LED remote control will exit programming mode

after 2-seconds of inactivity and will emit 2 long beeps.

The buttons described in this manual correspond to the standard

configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your trans-

mitter may be set up. It can be custom configured to meet your

needs. See your installer for additional details.

active arming

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

second. When the system arms, from the vehicle 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 in-vehicle’s 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 in-vehicle’s status

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

guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

➜

note: If programmed Off, no alarms will be notified to the
remote. Command information (Armed/Disarmed) will
be notified to the remote.

19

© 2006 directed electronics

The 2-way remote responds to active arming with one beep and

the Orange LED will flash 3-times to indicate successful arming

of the system.

If after 2-seconds the remote beeps once and the Orange and

Red LEDs flash 3-times, the system has detected an active sensor

that should be checked.

If after 2-seconds the remote beeps once, the Orange LED flashes

6-times and the Red LED lights for 3-seconds, the system has

detected an open door, hood or trunk and has been bypassed.

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 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 in-vehicle status LED will flash twice as

fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of

the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is

about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash

to indicate that the system is armed.

The 2-way remote responds to passive arming with one beep and

the Orange LED will flash 3-times to indicate successful arming

of the system.

When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:

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 a pre-programmed period, which can

range in duration from 1 to 180 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 sys-

tem with your 2-way remote if you inadvertently open the

door while the system is armed, while still providing instant

response (even if the door is immediately closed).

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

sponse as opening a door.

➤ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from

cranking.

➤ Any full trigger of the alarm system will immediately send an

alarm page to your remote informing you that your vehicle

should be checked.

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 (unless forced passive arming is pro­grammed on. See Programming Options section.) Addi­tionally, if a door, hood or trunk is triggered during the
arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

multi-level security arming

Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the

security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will

be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See the Table

of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing again within five

seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-

Level Security Arming feature. Each time is pressed again, a

different security level is selected. The different security levels

can be selected as follows:

➤ Press once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.

➤ Press a second time within five seconds: The parking

lights flash twice. Zone 2 is now bypassed.

➤ Press a third time within five seconds: The parking

lights flash three times. Zone 4 is now bypassed.

➤ Press a fourth time within five seconds: The parking lights

flash four times. Zone 7 is now bypassed.

➤ Press a fifth time within five seconds: The parking

lights flash five times. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed.

➤ Press a sixth time within five seconds: The parking

lights flash six times. Zones 2 and 7 are now bypassed.

➤ Press seven times within five seconds: The parking

disarming

To disarm the system, press . You will hear two chirps, and

the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are

connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps

either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics

section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert.

The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 3

flashes of the Orange LED. If disarming after the system has

been triggered, the remote control will send a diagnostic notifi-

cation as a reminder. These diagnostic notifications are:

1. If a sensor triggered the system, the remote will beep 4-times

and the Orange and Red LEDs flash 3 times.

2. If a switch (Zone 1, 3, 5, or 6) triggered the system, the

remote will beep 4-times, the Orange LED will flash 6-times

and Red LED will illuminate for 3 seconds.

3. If the system was triggered so many times that NPC is active

the remote will emit the above notifications with 5 beeps

instead of 4.

disarming without a transmitter

This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the

remote transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order

to disarm the system without a remote transmitter, you must have

the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet button is

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

number of presses of the Valet button required to disarm the system.

To disarm the security system,turn the ignition to the

ON position.

Press the Valet button the preset number of times

(one to five times) within 15 seconds. After five

seconds the system will disarm. If the system does not

disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the igni-

tion off and on and try again.

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.

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 system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures
that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.

Doors are covered by NPC

®

differently; if the alarm is triggered
by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed
until the trigger ceases.

NPC

®

is programmable. See Programming Options section of this

guide.

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 key on.

ddiiaaggnnoossttiiccss

The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is

constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are

connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and

prevents them from disabling the entire system. The micropro-

cessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred

during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table

of Zones charts for diagnostic information.

arming diagnostics

If the system is armed while an input is 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.

The security system will ignore the input that was active when

the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds

later the system will monitor that input normally. For example,

note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using
Silent Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.

➜

33

if your vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm the

system before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass

Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors

are monitored normally.

disarming diagnostics

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 Nuisance

Prevention

®

Circuitry has bypassed that zone. The in-vehicle status

LED will indicate which zone was involved. (See Table of Zones

section of this guide.) The system will retain this information in its

memory, and continue to chirp four or five times each time it is

disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.

interpreting zone diagnostics

Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming
diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or
a Tamper Alert notification when disarming, look at the in­vehicle status LED. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by
a pattern of blinks by this LED.

Example

If Zone 3 was active or triggered, the in-vehicle LED will blink
three times with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three
times again, and repeat until the ignition is turned on.

ccooddee hhooppppiinngg

The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas

called algorithms to change their codes 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 transmitter has been pressed many

times out of range of the vehicle, or if the battery has been

removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to

operate the system. To re-sync the remote control simply press

note: Your system stores the last six 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 six zones that were triggered. Contact

each transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenever 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.

arming feature has been programmed on, the system will

passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has

been left open. This feature is useful if a door has been left

ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures

that the security system will be armed in every situation.

➤ 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 dis-

abled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the

key is turned off, the in-vehicle LED will flash slowly (one-

half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming

cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be

disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the

system with the remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED

feature by turning the ignition key to the RUN position and

pressing the Valet

how the Vehicle Recovery System operates.

vveehhiiccllee rreeccoovveerryy ssyysstteemm ((vvrrss®®))

The optional VRS®feature is designed to ensure that any unautho-

rized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote control)

will not be able to permanently separate you from your vehicle.

The VRS

®

cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; however, it does

43

© 2006 directed electronics

ensure that if your vehicle is taken by an unauthorized user, it will

be disabled (after several progressive warnings) as safely as

possible. Should a carjacking occur, the VRS

®

allows you to

concern yourself with your personal safety without worrying

about your property.

Directed has engineered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe

®

Starter Kill, and the VRS®feature to provide the best combina-

tion of personal safety and property protection available. When

properly installed, the system can never inadvertently stop your

vehicle in traffic or on railroad tracks while the vehicle is in oper-

ation. It is unlike other systems that shut down your engine

while it is running. This system is designed to perform starter in-

terrupt, or starter kill. The Failsafe

®

Starter Kill cannot shut

down an already-running engine – it can only prevent an engine

from starting in the first place.

arming the vrs

®

To arm the VRS®, turn the ignition to the ON position and press

the arm button on the remote transmitter for one second. The

parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp once. This can be

done before driving or while driving the vehicle. Once the system

is armed, it will initiate its triggered sequence (see below) if any

door is opened and closed. If you are forced from the vehicle, the

system will trigger as the door is opened and closed. This is how

the system works to combat intersection carjacking. To protect

against parking lot carjacking, arm the VRS

before leaving the

vehicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time

you or anyone drives the vehicle. This helps to protect the vehicle

if someone takes your keys and remote transmitter by force in a

parking lot.

vrs®triggered sequence

Fifteen seconds

after the last door has closed, the in-vehicle LED

will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to

distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.

Forty-five seconds later

, the siren begins chirping and the park-

ing lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify au-

thorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what

the VRS

®

will do next.

Fifteen seconds

after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will

change to a continuous blast.

From this point on, when the ignition key is turned off, the VRS

®

will immediately turn on the starter kill. This will prevent the

vehicle from being restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot.

➜

note: If the VRS®system is armed while operating the vehi-
cle and not disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still
armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.

45

© 2006 directed electronics

Three minutes

after the constant siren output begins, the flashing

parking lights and the siren will stop. The starter kill will remain

active until the system is disarmed. If the door is opened or the

ignition is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the car, the

siren and light flashing will begin again.

disarming the vrs

®

Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS®triggering se-

quence and the disarm procedure. It is important to recognize

and identify the VRS

®

trigger sequence and know how to disarm

it in case of accidental activation.

Once the VRS

®

is armed, it does not disarm automatically. You

must disarm it the next time you operate the vehicle. You must

disarm it with one of the following procedures:

If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has

not started chirping):

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Press on the transmitter for one second. The

See your dealer for further details on the options listed below

available with this system.

Automatic Engine Disable

: Prevents the vehicle from being started

even if the vehicle is not armed after turning the ignition Off and

exiting the vehicle.

Comfort Closure

: Windows will close upon locking the vehicle.

Dual Sensor Trigger

: If programmed both the onboard and at

least one of the optional sensors need to be triggered within 1-

second of each other for full alarm.

note: In dual sensor mode, if one sensor is triggered the LED
2-way remote will report showing the siren icon but the
alarm will not sound. If two sensors are triggered the LED
will report showing the siren icon and the alarm will sound.

note: If the VRS®system has begun its chirping sequence,
the ignition must be turned off, then on to disarm. If you
are driving the vehicle at the time, pull to a safe place
away from traffic and follow the triggered sequence dis­arm procedure.

Forced Passive Arming

: If passive arming is on and a door is left

open the system will be armed after 30-seconds.

High Security Disarm: If the system is triggered this feature allows

the user to silence the siren and reset the system to the armed

state without having to visually check the system status.

Multi-level Arming

: Allows bypassing of user selected alarm zones

of the vehicle.

Grouped Arming

: Allows bypassing of the group of alarm zones

for warn-away, or both warn-away and full alarm of the vehicle.

Panic with Ignition Off

: Prevents the Orange Panic button on the

remotes from activating panic with ignition On (not allowed in some

states).

Parking Light Supervision

: The parking lights will illuminate for

30-seconds after disarming the system or turning the ignition off.

Remote Start Reporting

: This channel 3 program option allows

bypass of the security inputs that would trigger an alarm when

Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options

available. Please contact your dealer for a complete explanation

of all the options available to you.

Audio Sensor:

Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass

each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio

sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, and 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 kill active if main battery power is

disconnected.

Field Disturbance Sensor:

An invisible dome of coverage is estab-

lished by installing the 508D "radar" sensor. Your security

system can then react to any intrusions into this field with the

triggered sequence.

GGaarraaggee DDoooorr::

Remote control of your system can go beyond

your vehicle. You can also control your automatic garage door

49

© 2006 directed electronics

using the 519H2 garage door opener with your remote control.

Ask you dealer for details. Additional parts and labor required.

Headlight and Parking Light Automation:

The 545T Nite-Lite

®

will automatically turn on your parking and headlights when it

gets dark. In addition, the 545T will turn your headlights on

whenever the windshield wipers are used. A transmitter function

can also be used to turn on your parking and headlights for a

programmed time.

Power Trunk Release:

The channel two output of the system can

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

(An additional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not

power activated, then 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.

TTiilltt SSeennssoorr::

The 507M tilt sensor can be added to your system

to protect your car when its parked. It can protect your vehicle

from being lifted to protect your expensive rims.

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 automatic timer shutoff are all included. (This feature is

only for automatic transmission, fuel-injected vehicles.)

ASK

Amplitude Shift Keying—a method of transmitting data.

Control Unit:

The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden under

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

monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions.

Fail Safe 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

should the starter interrupt switch itself fail. Your system is ready

for this feature, however installation may require additional labor.

Input

: A physical connection to the system. An input can be

provided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in

the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.

In-vehicle status LED

: A light mounted somewhere in the vehicle.

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

report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.

Shock Sensor

: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is

designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.

Siren

: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine

compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the

"chirps" you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the

alarm is triggered.

52

Transmitter

: Hand-held, remote control which operates the

various functions of your system.

Trigger or 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 light flashing

for the programmed duration.

Valet Button

: 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 enter or exit Valet mode.

Warn Away 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. Two or more inputs often share the same zone.
