Important information

Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle secu ri ty system. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free op er a tion. 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 cer tiﬁ cates to verify that they are au tho rized. 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.

➢ System maintenance

The system requires no speciﬁc maintenance. Your remote control is pow ered by 2 small, lightweight CR2016 batteries. When the batteries weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

➢ 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 au tho rized dealer. Make sure that you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.

➢ FCC/ID notice

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two con di tions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any in ter fer ence re ceived, including in ter fer ence that may cause undesired op er a tion. Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Transmitter functions

The system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the transmit ter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter 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.

➢ Standard conﬁguration

Button The arming function is controlled by pressing this button for one second.

Button The disarming function is controlled by pressing this button for one second.

Button Silent Mode™ and an optional auxiliary function are controlled by pressing this button. (Silent Mode works by pressing this button for less than one second before arming or disarming. An optional auxiliary function, such as trunk release, can be controlled by pressing this button for 1.5 seconds.) The auxiliary output controls __________________________.

Button The arming and disarming functions are controlled by pressing this button for one second.

Button The panic feature is controlled by pressing this button for two seconds.

Using your system

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard con ﬁg u ra tion. Remember, this is not the only way your trans mit ter may be set up. It can be custom conﬁgured to meet your needs.

➢ Active arming

You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will ﬂash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to the system, the doors will 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 see the status LED ﬂashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass No ti ﬁ ca tion.

➢ Passive arming

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 “sees” you leave 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. The siren will chirp one time 20 seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.

on your

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 Pro gram ming Options section of this guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry 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 triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will ﬂash for a few seconds. Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and ﬂashing parking lights. 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 con tin u ous blast. This pro gres sive re sponse gives you time to dis arm the sys tem with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the sys tem is armed, while still providing an instant response (even if the door is im me di ate ly closed).

Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage response as opening a door.

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

➢ Multi-level security arming

The Multi-Level Security Arming feature is available with the fourbutton transmitter only.

Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security system’s inputs or sensors are to be active and which are to be bypassed, when arming the system. (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 se-

lected. The different security levels can be selected as follows:

Press •

once: The siren chirps once. The system is

armed.

Press •

twice within ﬁve seconds: The siren chirps twice

followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed.

Press •

three times, within ﬁve seconds the siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed.

Press •

a fourth time within ﬁve seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed.

Press •

a ﬁfth time within ﬁve seconds: The siren chirps ﬁve

times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the

ignition, are now bypassed.

Hold down the •

to begin the Multi-Level Security Arming

cycle over again.

Note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the

zones will be active again.

➢ Arming while driving

Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle.

Press running or while the ignition is on. The siren chirps once, and then once more indicating that the ig ni tion is on. The security system does not respond to any input except the door triggers and the Failsafe® Starter Kill (if installed) will not activate. The security system disarms au to mat i cal ly when the ignition is turned off. The siren chirps twice and the LED stops ﬂashing.

Note: If programmed for the optional Vehicle Recovery System (VRS®) feature, arming with the transmitter arms the VRS® feature. (See VRS® section of this guide.)

on your transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is

➢ Disarming

To disarm the system, press 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.

. You will hear two chirps, and the

➢ 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 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

while the alarm is triggering will disarm the system.

on the remote transmitter will

➢ Disarming without a transmitter

This feature allows you to disarm the security sys tem without the remote trans mit ter should it be lost, dam aged, or disabled. In order to dis arm the system with out a remote transmitter, you must have the ve hi cle’s ig ni tion key and know where the Valet switch is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the number of presses of the Valet switch required to disarm the system.

To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON position. Press the Valet switch the preset number of times (one to ﬁve times) within 15 seconds.

After 5 seconds, the sys tem will now 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 switch_________________________________ Number of Presses______________________________________

Important! The unit can be programmed to respond to one to ﬁve

presses of the Valet switch for the disarm function. Be sure to check with the installer for the desired programming.

➢ Silent mode

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

Press and the conﬁrmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one op era tion only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.

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.

for less than one second before arming or disarming,

➢ Panic mode

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just press for two 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 remote transmitter again.

on the

➢ Valet mode

You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and trig ger ing by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the ve hi cle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the security system will not arm, even with the remote trans mit ter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk re lease, etc.) will continue to work nor mal ly.

To enter or exit Valet Mode:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Turn the ignition off.

3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10

seconds. The status LED lights solidly if you are en ter ing Valet Mode, and goes out if you are exiting Valet Mode.

To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter:

1. Open any vehicle door.

2. Press

3. Press

4. Press

again.

The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode.

➢ Nuisance Prevention Circuitry®

Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC®). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switch es or en vi ron men tal con di tions such as thunder, jack ham mers, 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 by pass es, 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.

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.

NPC is programmable. See Programming Options section of this guide.

Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly mon i tor ing 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 mi cro pro ces sor 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.

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

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, 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 mon i tored 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 Nui sance Prevention

Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the 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.

➢ 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

Arm 1 System armed

Arm 1 (3 second delay), 1 System armed with zone active

➢ Table of zones

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 of LED Flashes Description Options

1 Instant trigger - often used for hood/trunk pinswitches

2 Instant trigger - a heavier impact detected by the shock sensor

3 Door switch trigger

4 Instant trigger - for optional sensors

5 Ignition trigger

➢ 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 LED. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by the LED. 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, and repeat until the ignition is turned on.

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

Code hopping

The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas called al go rithms to change their codes each time the transmitter 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 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 press times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will au to mat i cal ly resync and respond to the trans mit ters nor mal ly.

of the transmitter several

High frequency

Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz, using a superhetrodyne XR+ receiver. This provides a cleaner spec trum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phe nom e nal increase in range – even in areas with high radio in ter fer ence.

Owner Recognition

Owner Recognition is a feature avail able exclusively from Directed. Using the Directed Bitwriter, a hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer makes it possible to program different settings for each trans mit ter that is used with the system. Then, when ev er a speciﬁc transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that transmitter. Owner Rec og ni tion 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.

Note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Directed Bitwriter and the necessary soft ware. Check with your dealer for more information.

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 dis con nect ed for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is re con nect ed the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, VRS

, and Valet Mode.

Power saver mode

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 to 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.

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 period of one hour 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

Programming options control what your system does during normal op er a tion, and require few or no additional parts. However, some may require additional in stal la tion 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 (au to mat ic arming 30-seconds after the last door has been closed). Arming/disarming conﬁrmation siren chirps • on or off. The ignition controlled door lock feature on or off: With this • feature on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. The system will not lock the doors when the ignition is turned on with any door open. If your installer is programming the security system with the Directed Bitwriter, ignition lock and unlock are independent features and can be programmed separately. Passive door locking (with passive arming) or • active door locking (only when arming with the transmitter). 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.

Note: When programmed for passive arming and active lock, if the system is disarmed without a door being opened, the system will relock the doors when it passively rearms.

Panic mode • en abled/dis abled with the ig ni tion on: Some states have laws against siren ca pa bil i ty in a mov ing vehicle. Forced passive arming • on or off: If your system is programmed for passive arming and the forced pas sive arming feature has been pro grammed on, the system will passively arm af ter one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. This feature is use ful if a door has been left ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced pas sive arming ensures that the security system will be armed in every situation.

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 re main ing inputs to the system are fully operational.

Automatic Engine Dis able (AED) on or • off: The pur pose of this fea ture is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, re gard less of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be dis abled 30 sec onds 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 of the vehicle will be dis abled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the transmitter. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turn ing the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing the Valet switch the programmed number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet Mode. Note: This feature will only function if the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay has been installed.

Comfort closure: To close the vehicles windows after remote • locking. Can only be used on cars with the capability of closing windows (and on some cars the sunroof) with the key cylinder in the door.

Full trigger response 30 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.

Nuisance Prevention•

Circuitry® on or off: Please refer to the NPC section of this manual for a complete explanation of how NPC operates. If NPC is pro grammed off, the se cu ri ty sys tem will respond to inputs from any sensor in deﬁ nite ly. Note: Because many states have laws regulating security systems, pro gram ming NPC off may cause your sys tem to violate state laws.

Progressive door trigger • on or off: When the system is armed and a door is opened, the system responds with ten chirps prior to be gin ning the full triggered sequence. If an instant trigger is desired, the progressive door trigger can be programmed off.

Valet pulse count: The number of presses of the Valet switch • required to disarm the security system, AED, or the VRS® system can be programmed from one to ﬁve presses. The default setting is one press.

Siren tones and chirp volume: The output of the Revenger• Soft Chirp

siren consists of six different tones in sequence.

Any of these tones can be elim i nat ed by your dealer, re sulting in a unique, easily iden ti ﬁ able siren sound. The siren chirps can be either full volume or six decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.

➢ Additional options

The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here.

Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door • locks, the system can be conﬁgured so that when the system is disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the

button unlocks the other doors. (This feature is available

with the four-button transmitter only.)

Vehicle Recovery System (VRS• device designed to help in the safe recovery of your vehicle in case of a carjacking. Please refer to the Vehicle Recovery System section of this guide for a complete ex pla na tion of how the Vehicle Recovery System operates.

): VRS® is an anti-carjacking

Vehicle Recovery System (VRS)

The optional VRS® feature is designed to en sure that any un autho rized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote control) will not be able to per ma nent ly separate you from your vehicle.

The VRS cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; how ev er, it does en sure that if your vehicle is taken by an un au tho rized user, it will be disabled (after several pro gres sive warn ings) 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 en gi neered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe Starter Kill, and the VRS feature to pro vide the best com bi na tion of personal safe ty and property pro tec tion available. When properly installed, the system can never in ad vert ent ly stop your vehicle in trafﬁc or on railroad tracks while the vehicle is in operation. It is unlike other systems that shut down your engine while it is running. This sys tem is de signed to per form starter in ter rupt, or starter kill. The Failsafe Starter Kill cannot shut down an already-running en gine – it can only pre vent an engine from starting in the ﬁrst place.

Important! Any in stal la tion that allows this product to shut down a vehicle’s engine when it is running is contrary to the product’s design and in tend ed usage, and Directed hereby ex press ly dis claims any liability re sulting there from..

➢ 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 se quence (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 ve hi cle. The system will now trigger au to mat i cal ly 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.

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

➢ Triggered sequence

Fif teen seconds after the last door has closed, the sys tem’s status

LED will begin ﬂashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to distance your self from your ve hi cle 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 thor i ties that your vehicle has been hi jacked, and tell them what the VRS will do next.

Fif teen seconds after the siren chirps be gin, the siren’s output will change to a con tin u ous 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 re start ed, thus im mo bi liz ing it at that spot.

Three minutes after the constant siren out put be gins, the ﬂash ing parking lights and the siren will stop. The starter kill will remain active until the system is dis armed. If the door is opened or the igni tion is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the car, the siren and light ﬂash ing will begin again.

➢ Disarming the VRS

Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS® trig ger ing sequence and the disarm pro ce dure. It is important to recognize and identify the VRS trigger sequence and know how to disarm it in case of ac ci den tal activation.

Once the VRS is armed, it does not disarm au to mat i cal ly. You must disarm it the next time you operate the vehicle. You must dis arm it with one of the fol low ing pro ce dures: If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has not started chirping):

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Press lights will ﬂash and the siren will chirp twice.

If the system has entered the triggered sequence

(siren has begun chirping), pressing the disarm button of the trans mit ter will not disarm VRS. To disarm the VRS during a VRS trigger sequence:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Press the Valet switch the pre-programmed number of times to disarm the VRS system.

on the transmitter for one second. The

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.

Glossary of terms

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

der the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system’s functions.

Control center: The control center contains the system’s radio frequency antenna, the valet and override switch, and the status LED. For maximum remote control range, the control center is usually located at the top of the windshield, centered near the rear view mirror.

Fail-Safe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security 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.

LED: A blue display light used to indicate the status of your system, located on the control center.

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 com part ment 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.

Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the various func tions 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 Switch: Located on the control center, it is used to override the alarm when a transmitter 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.

Security & convenience expansions

Listed below are some of the many expansion options avail able. 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 dis tinc tive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, and then analyzes them with pro pri etary 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 dis con nect ed.

Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is es tablished by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your security system can then react to any intrusions into this ﬁeld with the triggered sequence.

Digital Tilt Sensor: The 507M can detect any changes to your car’s parking angle, such as those caused by jerking or towing.

Power Trunk Release: The channel two output of the system can op er ate a factory power release for the ve hi cle’s trunk or hatch. (An additional relay may be re quired.) If the factory release is not power ac ti vat ed, then Directed’s 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added.

Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provid ed with the 529T and 530T systems.

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. Overrev protection, open-hood lockout, brake pedal shutoff, and au tomat ic timer shutoff are all included. (This feature is only for automatic trans mis sion, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles.)

Ultrasonic Cabin Sensor: With the 509U Ultrasonic cabin sensor you can protect the belongings inside your car.
