Getting Started

System Maintenance

The system requires no speciﬁc maintenance beyond battery replacement for the remote controls. Your 1-way remote control is powered by a coin cell battery (CR-2032) that can be purchased at most retailers. The operating range diminishes as the battery weakens.

Battery Replacement

Locate the small slot on the side of the remote control. Insert a small slotted screwdriver or equivalent tool into slot and pry the case apart. Replace battery while verifying the correct polarity and then snap case together.

Remote and System operations

Passive arming/locking

The system can be programmed to arm/lock itself au to mat i cal ly (called pas sive arming/locking). If the system is programmed for passive arming/ locking, it will automatically arm/lock 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/locking count down, the status LED will ﬂash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed/locked. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren/horn will sound to indicate that the system is about to arm/lock. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will ﬂash to indicate that the system is armed/locked.

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/lock (unless forced passive arming/locking is programmed on). See Programming Options section in the expanded version of this manual online at www. automatecarsecurity.com..

Warn away® response

A Warn Away Response consists of an alarm page along with the responses described below.

• Shock Sensor - Light impacts to the vehicle will ﬂash the vehicle

lights and sound the siren/horn for a few seconds.

Triggered response

A Triggered Response can be activated by any of the triggers listed below. The default Triggered Response duration is 30 seconds but can be programmed from 1-180 seconds by your installer.

• Shock Sensor Trigger - Heavy impacts to the vehicle will instantly

sound the siren/horn and ﬂash the lights for the programmed duration and report Zone 2.

• Door Trigger - If a door is opened the siren/horn will sound and

lights ﬂash for three seconds, then the siren/horn will sound continuously and the lights will ﬂash for the programmed duration and report Zone 3. The three seconds allow the user time to disarm/ unlock the system with a minimum of noise should a door be opened inadvertently while the system is armed/locked.

• Hood Trigger - Opening the hood will sound the siren/horn, ﬂash

the lights for the programmed duration, and report Zone 1.

• Trunk Trigger - Opening the trunk (if connected) will instantly sound

the siren/horn and ﬂash the lights for the programmed duration and report Zone 4.

• Ignition Trigger - Turning on the ignition key will trip the same pro-

gressive re sponse as the door trigger and report Zone 5.

The system will not respond to any input except the door triggers, and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once you have arrived at your des ti na tion, the system will disarm when the ignition is turned off. The siren/horn will sound twice and the LED will then stop ﬂashing. The system can also be disarmed at any time by pressing

on the remote control for two seconds while the vehicle is

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

on the remote silences the siren while keeping the system in the armed state. The system does not disarm, but resets. Pressing

again after silencing the system will disarm the

system.

If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for less than six seconds, pressing

disarms the system. The six second timer is provided for your convenience, in case the system is accidentally triggered.

System Override

If your remote control is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your vehicle security system or disable an optional starter kill. To disarm or disable the system without a remote control, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key.

To disarm/disable the system:

1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.

2. Press the control center button the preset number of times (one to

ﬁve times) within 15 seconds. The factory default setting is 1 press. After ﬁve seconds, the sys tem will disarm/disable. If the system does not disarm/disable, you may have waited too long. Start over by turning the ignition off and on.

Number of Presses_____________________________________

Important:

The control center button can be programmed to respond to 1-5 presses for the disarm/disable function. You must check with the installer to verify the programming for your individual unit.

Valet mode

You can prevent your system from automatically arming/locking and trig ger ing by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the ve hi cle or having it serviced.

To remote start the vehicle:

• Press

on the remote control once.

The parking lights ﬂash to conﬁrm that the vehicle will attempt to start. With gas vehicles the engine starts 4 seconds after the parking lights ﬂash. With diesel vehicles the engine starts when the WAIT-TO-START indicator on the dashboard goes out or the programmed delay has ended. Once the vehicle has started, it runs for the pre- pro gram med period of time or until a shutdown input is trig gered.

Warning!

It is unsafe to operate a vehicle’s motor in a garage or other closed off area. Breathing the ex haust from the vehicle is hazardous to your health. Never activate the remote start in an enclosed space.

When you are ready to drive the vehicle:

1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the On position.

2. Press the brake pedal.

Note: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position, the engine will shut down.

While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system monitors the ve hi cle and automatically shuts down the engine if the system receives any of the following:

• The brake pedal is pressed

• The hood is opened

• The shutdown toggle switch is put into the Off position.

• Runtime (12,24, or 60 minutes) expires

• Remote control button

Safety features

This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components.

Starter-anti-grind circuitry

Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.

Important:

feature to work.

The Fail Safe starter kill option must be installed for this

Disabling the remote start system

This feature allows your system’s remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations. Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________

Shut down inputs

This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake pedal will shut down the motor at any time during remote start operation, as well as preventing the remote start from activating while it is being pressed.

Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon i tor ing all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. Refer to the Table of Zones sections of this guide for diagnostic information.

Arming diagnostics

If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren/ horn sound to indicate arming and a second siren/horn sound to indicate Bypass Notiﬁcation. A Bypass Notiﬁcation sound means that the security system ignores the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input ceases. For more information, please refer to the expanded version of this manual online at www.automatecarsecurity.com

Disarming diagnostics

Extra sounds that are heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert. If four sounds are heard when disarming the system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If ﬁve sounds are heard when disarming the system, a zone was triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection information, please refer to the expanded version of this manual online at www.automatecarsecurity.com

Circuitry has bypassed that zone. For more

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 security system while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed. The vehicle doors are protected by NPC differently. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.

Note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function. The only way to reset a bypassed zone is to not have it trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, 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 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.

Zone Description Dealer installed options

1 Trunk Pin

2 Instant trigger: a heavier impact detected by the

shock sensor

3 Door switch trigger

4 Instant trigger: for optional sensors

5 Ignition trigger

6 Hood Pin

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.

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 in the vehicle. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by the LED.

For 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.

Programming options

Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. See your authorized Directed dealer for more details.

The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold.

• Active arming (transmitter only) or Passive arming (automatic arm-

ing 30 seconds after the last door has been closed).

• Arming/disarming siren chirps On or Off.

• The ignition controlled door lock feature On or Off: When this fea-

ture is programmed on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. If your installer is programming the security system with the Directed Bitwriter, ignition lock and unlock are independent features that can be programmed separately.

Important: The vehicle doors must be closed for the ignition lock feature to work.

• 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.

• Panic mode Enabled/Disabled when the ignition is turned on.

(Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.)

• Forced passive arming On or Off. If your security system is pro-

grammed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.

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 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.

• 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 eliminated by a dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identiﬁable siren sound. The chirps can be either full volume or 6 decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.

• 12, 24, or 60 minute run time. your system can be programmed

to allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote started. Can be set up to minute increments by your installer.

Note: If your installer is programming the system with the Bitwriter,® the remote start run time may be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 60 minutes.

• 3, 6, 9, or 12 minute timer mode run time. Your system can be

programmed to allow the vehicle to run for 3, 6, 9, or 12 minutes when remote started in timer mode. Can be set from 1 to 16 minutes by your installer.

• While the remote start is running the engine, the parking lights

Flash on and off, or Come on steadily.

• Comfort closure is a programming option which closes the ve-

hicle’s windows after remote locking.

ALL PRODUCTS RECEIVED BY DIRECTED FOR WARRANTY REPAIR WITHOUT PROOF OF PURCHASE WILL BE DENIED.

The warranty does not cover damage to the unit caused by installation or removal of the unit. Directed, in its sole discretion, will determine what constitutes excessive damage and may refuse the return of any unit with excessive damage.
