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 will respond
with an Out of Range notification. If this occurs, the remote will Blink
rapidly the transmit indicator, turn on the F indicator and play the
error tone.
Since conditions will vary in different areas (ie: Weather, RF interference, etc) range may be affected and require you to be closer to the
vehicle for successful transmission.
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remotes are powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium batteries that will
last approximately one year under normal use. The 2-way remote
uses two CR2016 cell batteries and the 1-way remote uses one
CR2032 cell battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range will be reduced.
Low battery indicator
When the batteries are low on the 2-way remote it will emit two
groups of beeps, the LED will flash, and the alarm will emit an
additional chirp to let you know its time to change the battery.
When the battery is low on the 1-way remote, the remote responds
the same, but without the LED flash.
Note: The Arm/Disarm chirps should be programmed ON for the
alarm to emit any additional chirps during disarm. Ask your
authorized dealer if you have any questions.

Responder LE is an advanced vehicle security and convenience system
with two remote controls - a traditional one-way transmitter, and a
2-way Responder LE remote.
Long-time Viper system users will notice the following differences:
3
2
Responder LE uses a new rolling-code format we call SuperCode
SuperCode assigns most functions to dedicated buttons, so many features work slightly different. The icons on the buttons are also different. Current Directed remotes won’t work with Responder LE systems.
No more simultaneous multiple button presses
Instead, there is now a Function button. Pressing before pressing
another button temporarily changes what that button does. For example, pressing and releasing the button will usually arm the system.
Pressing and releasing the button once before pressing will
silently arm the system.
Pressing more than one button at the same time now generates an
error tone.
Remote Valet has changed
Now, to enter or exit Valet Mode with the remote:
Press and release the button twice, and then press the
▀

If the system was Armed or Disarmed, it is now in Valet Mode, with the
doors unlocked.
If the system was in Valet Mode, it will return to a disarmed state with
the doors unlocked.
The Transmit LED will turn on immediately. When the Trunk Release
output activates, the remote will play the ascending AUX multi-tone,
and the AUX LED indicator will turn on.
Important Note:
The main function of the AUX button is to control the vehicle’s
trunk or hatch release. Integrating this function is optional and
may require additional installation parts and labor. Ask your
authorized dealer for details.
There is now a Trunk /Hatch Release output and 3 more AUX outputs:
Aux 1, 2, and 3.
To access AUX 1, press button once, and then press
▀
To access AUX 2, press the button twice, and then press

blinks. If the remote is in Car 2 mode, it will blink in groups of two.
To check which Car is selected: See MULTI-CAR CONTROL CAPABILITY
section on page 13
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must
only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never
operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area
without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or
partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote
start system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is
the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach
from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system
does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST
INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING
AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT
LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE
STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions
are the sole responsibility of the user.
Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those with automatic transmission because you must
leave your car in neutral. You must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper procedures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask your installer or
contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.
Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:
Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of
operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1)
Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never
remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must
also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked,
wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear.
This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed dealer in
accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation
immediately and consult with the authorized Directed dealer to fix the
problem.
After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If
the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit
test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote
start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall
the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All
installations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING
THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY
CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED
REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR
PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
To arm the system, press the button on the remote control.
The siren in the vehicle will “chirp” once and the parking lights will
flash once. If the power door locks have been connected, the doors
will lock. The system will automatically check for errors when it arms.
The 2-way remote will “chirp” once and blink the LOCK indicator to
confirm arming. If no arm confirmation is received, the remote will
give the Out-Of-Range signal.
If errors are found when arming:
If an alarm trigger zone – such as a door, the trunk, the hood, or a
sensor, was active at the time of arming, the system will “bypass”, or
ignore, this trigger zone. This allows the system to continue to protect
your vehicle using the remaining trigger zones.
You are notified of this active zone immediately after arming the system. The siren in the vehicle will “chirp” again and the parking lights
will flash again. The Status LED indicator in the vehicle will blink in a
pattern to indicate the active zone number error which was found (See
Table of Zones on page 36). The 2-way remote control will sound a
short “error” tone, and blink the LOCK and Function indicators.
Arming without the chirp (Silent Arm)
Press the button at the bottom of the remote once, and then press
the button. The system will arm without the confirmation chirp. The
parking lights will flash once. The 2-way remote will blink the LOCK
indicator to confirm arming. If no arm confirmation is received, the
2-way remote will give the Out Of Range signal.
The starter is disabled by the system’s Fail-Safe starter kill.
Alarm Responses
The security system can generate two levels of alarm: Warn Away - Soft
siren chirps and flashing parking lights.
The purpose of Warn-Away is to warn a would-be thief next to your
vehicle that the vehicle is protected, but in a manner that does not call
attention to it from more than a few feet away.
Full Alarm Trigger
Sounds the siren at maximum volume and flashes the parking lights.
The default duration of the Full Alarm is 30 seconds. This can be
programmed to any duration from 30 to 60 seconds manually. Ask your
authorized dealer for details.
Pages the 2-way remote control. If in range, the 2-way remote will blink
its indicator lights and sound the Revenger siren tones.
Warn-Away response is triggered by:
▀
Lesser or lighter vibrations or impacts (detected by the Stinger
Doubleguard shock sensor)
Opening a door: the Progressive Door Trigger feature will sound the
▀
Warn Away response, followed immediately by Full Alarm
Any attempt to start the car: the Progressive Ignition Trigger will
▀
first sound the Warn Away response, followed immediately by Full
Alarm.
An optional Proximity Sensor (508D) triggered in the outer zone.
The Responder LE gives you an unprecedented level of control over how
it will protect your car. “Normal arming” means that all the Responder
LE security features are active automatically. You can turn some security features off on a one-time basis.

The Valet take-over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after
the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for
occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods
of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate

shut-down input is received.
Note: To enable Valet take-over with a manual transmission, open the
door when going into a manual transmission mode. After you exit the
vehicle you can arm the alarm and the car will remain running. If the
vehicle shuts down when arming, then the unit did not enter the valet
take-over mode.
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.
Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start
system is operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay
is installed.
Disabling the remote start system
This feature allows the remote start unit to be temporarily disabled
to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This
feature is useful when 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. Check with your installer for the location.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
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 prevent them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report
any triggers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide
for diagnostic information.
Arming
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.
Note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in
Silent Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed
off by the installer.
Extra chirps 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, the system was
triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection® Circuitry has
bypassed the intended zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones).
The security system will retain this information in its memory, and
chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time
that the ignition 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 ChirpsDescription
Arm1System armed
Arm1 (3-second delay)System armed with bypass notification
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.

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.
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 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.
For 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.
Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique
settings that meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four
separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user. This feature is
only available to authorized dealers using the Bitwriter or Bitwriter 2
program tool.
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.
For example, 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.
Power saver mode
System
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 on 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
Status LED on the Responder LE control center illuminates steadily. If
the vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a one hour period while the system is in Valet Mode, the status 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.
2-way remote
Your Responder LE 2way remote control has a feature called remote
power save mode. When programmed ON under remote options, the
remote will conserve power by disabling the paging function if unused
for more than 72 hours. Pressing any button on the remote will restore
the paging function.
The default setting is ON. See Remote control programming section of
this guide or ask your dealer for details on how to program.
Your system has many custom programmable options. Some may require
installation labor. Ask your authorized dealer for details.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory
settings in Bold.
Active arming (remote only) passive arming with or without locking
▀
the doors (automatic arming without locking the doors 30 seconds
after the last door has been closed), or Auto Re-arm with or without
locking the doors (Automatically arms 60 seconds after disarm if no
door is opened).
Arming/disarming siren chirps ON with or without Warn-away chirps,
Or OFF with or without Warn-away chirps.
Ignition controlled door lock feature ON or OFF: When this feature
▀
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.
Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on or
▀
completely turned OFF. (Some states have laws against sirens sounding
in moving cars.)
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.
Comfort closure is a programming option which closes the vehicle’s
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 disconnected.
Digital Tilt Sensor: 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 and provide protection for your expensive rims.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is established 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.
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.
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can operate
a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. Although the
on-board relay can control most power trunk releases, 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 provided
with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows,
2-Way Remote: A hand-held, remote control which operates the
various functions of your system and receives feedback and pages from
the alarm system.
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.
Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which
monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s Functions.
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if equipped): 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 kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation of this feature may require additional labor.
Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can
be provided through a sensor, pin-switch or by existing systems in the
vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
In-vehicle status LED: A light used to indicate the status of your
system. It is located on your systems control center.
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.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the
alarm “goes off ” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your
system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing
for the programmed duration.
Valet Button: A small push button switch located on your systems
control center. It is used to override the starter interrupt when a 2-way
remote is lost or damaged, or to
enter or exit Valet Mode.
Warn Away® Response: Light impacts to the vehicle generate the
Warn Away® Response, which consists of several seconds of horn honks
and flashing parking lights.
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.
