arming

You can arm the system by pressing on your transmitter

for one second. When the system arms, 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 LED status indicator 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 LED status indicator is flashing in

groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp

is called Bypass Notification.

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-sec-

ond passive arming countdown, the LED status indicator will

flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20

seconds of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the

system is about to arm. At the 30 seconds, the parking lights will

flash to indicate that the system is armed.

Arming your security system protects your vehicle as follows:

➤ Light impacts trigger the Warning Zone signal. When trig-

gered, 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

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, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

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 system

with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door

while the system is armed, while still providing instant re-

sponse (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 fault-proof starter interrupt prevents the

vehicle’s starter from cranking.

multi-level security arming (optional feature)

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 Table of

Zones section.) Pressing the arm button again within five seconds

of arming the security system will activate the Multi-Level

Security Arming feature. Each time the arm button is pressed

note: Multi-Level Security Arming is only available when using an optional 4-button Radar Master transmitter that has been configured with separate transmitter buttons for arming and disarming.

➜

again, a different security level is selected. The different security

levels can be selected as follows:

➤➤

Pressing the arm button one time: The siren chirps once.

The system is armed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a second time within five seconds:

The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is

now bypassed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a third time within five seconds:

The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone

Four is now bypassed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a fourth time within five seconds:

The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones

Two and Four are now bypassed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button 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.

arming while driving

Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press

while the vehicle is running. The siren will chirp once to

indicate that the security system is armed, and then once more

to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond

to any input except the door triggers, and the starter interrupt

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.

relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once you have arrived at

your destination, the system will disarm when the ignition is turned

off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will then stop flashing.

The system can also be disarmed at any time by pressing .

disarming

To turn off, or disarm the security system, press . You will

hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the

power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also

unlock. The siren chirping either four or five times when

disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the

Diagnostics Section of this guide.

siren silencing

Your security system includes a Siren Silencing feature. After 6

seconds of trigger sequence, using the transmitter to disarm the

security system will only stop the trigger sequence (the siren will

stop and the parking lights will stop flashing). However, the

system will remain armed and the doors will stay locked. This is

extremely useful if you must stop the system from sounding, but

are unable to visually check the vehicle. This feature allows you

to silence and reset the security system when it is triggered,

without having to disarm the system.

disarming without a transmitter

If your remote 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 loca-

tion and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet switch.

To disarm the security system without a transmitter:

Turn the ignition on and press the

Valet switch the preset number of

times within 15 seconds. If the

system does not disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the

ignition off and repeat the process.

Location of Valet Switch_________________________________

remote controlled chirp muting

Use the Remote Controlled Chirp Muting to temporarily turn

off the arm or disarm confirmation chirps by briefly pressing

before either arming or disarming the security system.

The confirmation chirp(s) will then be eliminated for that one

operation only. To permanently turn off the arm and disarm

confirmation chirps, contact your installation dealer.

note: The Warning Zone response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using the Remote Controlled Chirp Muting. This ensures that the siren does not chirp in an environment where you don't want chirps to be emitted. The system is still capable of being triggered by heavier impacts; only the Warning Zone response generated by light impacts is bypassed.

remote engine starting

This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for

a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm

up the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the

vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or

cooling is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the

fan blower must be set to the desired level prior to remote

starting the vehicle.

To remote start the vehicle:

1. Press on the transmitter for one second.

2. The parking lights will flash to warn that the motor is about

to start.

3. Release the button as soon as the parking lights flash.

In gasoline vehicles, the engine will start 3 seconds after the

parking lights flash. In diesel vehicles, the engine will start

when the wait-to-start indicator on the vehicle’s dash goes out.

important! (1) Never remote start your vehicle when the keys are in the ignition, except when performing Valet Take-Over, and (2) Never start the vehicle if it is not in either PARK or NEUTRAL.

➜

4. About three seconds after the parking lights flash, the system

will engage the starter until the vehicle is successfully

running. If the motor is not running after six seconds, the

system will stop cranking the starter. After three seconds, the

system will attempt to start the motor again. If your motor

is not running after three attempts, the system will stop the

remote engine starting sequence. It is not necessary to

disarm your system before remote starting the vehicle. The

shock sensor will be bypassed whenever the system is

running the motor.

5. Once the remote engine starting system has successfully

started the motor, it will turn the climate controls on.

The motor will run for the selected period of time and

the parking lights will flash or light solid while the motor

is running. (See the Programming Options Section of

this guide.)

off the motor. It is possible to shut down the remote start and

drive the vehicle without shutting down the motor.

When you are ready to drive the vehicle:

1. Disarm the security system (if

armed) by pressing .

2. Enter the vehicle and turn the

ignition to the ON position.

3. Step on the brake pedal.

The remote engine starting system will be shut down when you

step on the brake pedal. The vehicle motor, however, will

continue to run because the ignition has been turned on. The

vehicle will now operate as usual.

valet take-over

A vehicle equipped with the Valet Take-Over system can remain

running after the key is removed from the ignition. This feature

is useful for occasions when you wish to exit the vehicle for short

periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and

the climate controls on.

To perform Valet Take-Over:

1. Before turning off the engine, press and release (or

press and release the optional momentary switch).

2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. (The engine will

stay running.)

3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses

or a shut-down input is received. (See the previous section

for a complete list of shut-down inputs.)

timer mode

Timer Mode automatically starts your vehicle engine and runs it

for a pre-programmed time period, every three hours for a total

of six operation cycles. Timer Mode helps to ensure that your

engine will start in the morning after being parked outside

during a night of extremely cold temperatures.

important! This feature must only be used in open areas, never in an enclosed area such as a garage.

➜

note: This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.

➜

To enter Timer Mode:

1. Start the vehicle by pressing and releasing .

2. Press and release .

3. Within two seconds press and release again.

4. The engine will shut down and the parking lights will flash

four times. The engine will then restart to confirm that

Timer Mode has been entered.

The engine may be allowed to run for the pre-programmed time,

or it can be shut down while running during Timer Mode operation

by pressing again. In either case, the vehicle will restart every

three hours for a total of six operation cycles. If the system receives

a shut-down input while the engine is running in Timer Mode, the

engine will stop, but will restart, on schedule, again in three hours!

To exit Timer Mode:

Timer Mode can be exited by turning the ignition on with the

key any time the engine is not running. You can also exit Timer

Mode with the remote transmitter by following these steps:

1. Start the engine by pressing .

2. Press and release .

3. Within two seconds press and release again.

4. The engine will shut down and the parking lights will flash

four times to confirm that Timer Mode has been exited. If

the car has already been remote started, skip Step One.

disabling the remote engine starting system

This feature allows your system's remote engine starting 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____________________________

false alarm control technology (FACT)

Your system has False Alarm Control Technology (FACT), a

feature designed to prevent annoying repetitive trigger sequences

due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions

such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

Example: The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same

sensor or switch is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are

within 60 minutes of each other. FACT will interpret this

pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, FACT

ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other

sensors or switches sharing the same zone).

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 FACT 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.

ssaaffeettyy ffeeaattuurreess

This system has several important safety features to ensure

proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to

the engine or its components.

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.

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.

➜

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 FACT programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, FACT has been engaged. If you wish to clear the FACT memory, turn the ignition on.

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 engine starting from

activating while it is being pressed.

starterguard anti-grind circuitry

Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced StarterGuard

anti-grind circuitry will prevent 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 engine starting operation.

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

note: The starter anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is operating the motor and the starter interrupt relay has been installed.

➜

also record and report any triggers that occurred during your

absence.

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), you will hear

one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to

indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp 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 second Bypass Notification chirp.

Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes

normal monitoring.

disarming diagnostics

Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the

Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the

system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If

five chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was trig-

gered so many times that the False Alarm Control Technology

➜

note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Remote Controlled Chirp Muting mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed by the installer not to sound.

➜

(FACT) has bypassed that zone. In either case, the LED status

indicator will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of

Zones section). The security system will retain this information

in its memory and chirp four or five times each time it is dis-

armed, until the next time that the ignition is turned on.

table of zones

A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the

system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input

assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to

write in any optional sensors or switches that have been installed.

If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not

report it.

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.

aannttii-ccooddee ggrraabbbbiinngg ((AACCGG))

This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random

Code Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each

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 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 a trans-

mitter button has been pressed many times out of range of the

vehicle, or 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 of the transmitter several

times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically

re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally.

Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from

Directed

. Using a Directed®Bitwriter hand-held programming

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, 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.

ssmmaarrtt ppoowweerr uupp IIII

This 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.

note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter and the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.

Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while

armed or in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no oper-

ation has been performed. This lowers the current draw to

prevent the system from draining 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.

programmed to prevent the door from locking when the

ignition is turned on with any door open. If your installer is

Programmer, ignition lock and unlock are independent

features and can be programmed separately.

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.

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.

Full trigger response 30or 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

computer and the TechSoft Programmer, the full triggered

response can be programmed for any duration ranging from

1 to 180 seconds.

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 arm the car with the remote and

then disarm it 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 button the programmed

number of times. AED is also disabled when the system is in

sseeccuurriittyy && ccoonnvveenniieennccee eexxppaannssiioonnss

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.

Car*Com/Automated Vehicle Locator (AVL):

Your system is

compatible with Directed’s Valet Car*Com and AVL systems.

Car*Com offers a one-way pager system that allows many of the

security and convenience features of your Directed security

system to be operated from any touch tone telephone. Directed’s

AVL system shares the same basic Car*Com features, but takes

remote vehicle paging one step further by providing web-enabled

two-way GPS vehicle location services, including “bread crumb”

tracking and geo-fencing capabilities.

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.

gglloossssaarryy ooff tteerrmmss

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.

Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt:

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.

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.

Transmitter:

A 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 sequence of your

system consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light

flashing.

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.

Warning Zone 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. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
