Remote paging, 2-way
The system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s proprietary out-board technology transceiver. The high frequency combined
with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with twoway communication.
Signal paging features
A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote control as
confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status. When
the remote control receives a page it generates a page notification
to the user (notifications are audible beeps and-or vibration), and the
LCD icons display current system status.
Command Page
When a command (arm/disarm, or auxiliary channel) from the remote control is sent and received, the system will send a command
page back to confirm receipt.
Alarm Page
If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will be
sent to the remote control. When the remote receives an Alarm Page,
the LCD icons will display the alarm system status information and the
remote control will generate beeps and-or vibration.
An Alarm Page alert is a series of 5 groups of 4 rapid beeps (shock,
trunk, door, ignition, or hood trigger) and the LCD icon that caused
the alarm will display. The remote will beep and or vibrate every 60
seconds to alert the user that the alarm system was triggered and will
continue until the alarm page is cleared.

Page Recognition (Acknowledgement)
To clear a page alert/notification, quickly press any button on the
remote control. This can be performed at any time during or after the
page notification has occurred.
The remote control will not send a command to the system at this time;
it will only clear future repeats of the page notification. The next time
a button is pressed on the remote control it will send a command to
the system.
Out of range notification
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is set to the
incorrect vehicle or is beyond the range of the vehicle to receive the
command, the remote responds with 3 sets of 2 quick beeps and the
icon will flash 3- times.

Using your system
The buttons described in this manual correspond to the standard config u ra tion. However, the remote commands may be customized to suit
your specific needs. See your installer for additional details.
Active arming
You can arm the system by pressing of your remote for one second.
When the system arms, from the vehicle you will hear a short siren
sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power
door locks are con trolled by the system, the doors will also lock.
While the sys tem is armed, the in-vehicle’s status LED will flash approximately once per sec ond, indicating that the system is actively protect ing your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and note
that the in-vehicle’s status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics
Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass No ti fi ca tion.
The LCD remote responds to active arming with one beep and the
icon will flash 5- times to indicate successful arming of the system.
If the LCD remote beeps twice after arming, the system has detected
an active sensor that should be checked. For example, a door open
icon will be displayed flashing 5- times on the LCD screen.
Passive arming
The system can be programmed to arm itself au to mat i cal ly (called pas sive
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 count down, the in-vehicle
12

Page 16
status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. At
the 20 - second point of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that
the system is about to arm. At the 30 - second point, the parking lights will
flash to indicate that the system is armed.
The LCD remote responds to passive arming with one beep and the
icon will flash 3- times to indicate successful arming of the system.
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.)
Ad di tion al ly, if a door, hood or trunk is triggered during the arming
count down, the 30 - second count down starts over.
When the system is armed:
s Light impacts trigger the Warn Away® signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
s Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence consists
of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing
for a pre-programmed period, which can range in duration from
1 to 180 seconds.
s If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the
siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren
out put changes to a continuous blast. This pro gres sive re sponse
gives you time to disarm the sys tem with your LCD remote if you
inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while
still providing instant re sponse (even if the door is immediately
closed).
s Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive re sponse
as opening a door.
s The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
s Any full trigger of the alarm system will immediately send an
alarm page to your remote informing you that your vehicle should

Disarming
To disarm the system, press . You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times
when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is
called Tamper Alert.
The remote sounds 2 beeps and the unlock icon
when the system is disarmed.
When disarming after the system has been triggered, the remote
sends a diagnostic notification, as described below:
s If a sensor triggered the system the remote emits 4 quick beeps,
and the LCD screen flashes the zone indicator to display which
sensor tripped the alarm.
s If a switch (Zone 1, 3 or 5) triggered the system, the remote emits
4 quick beeps, and the LCD screen flashes the zone indicator to
display which switch tripped the alarm.
s If the system was triggered enough times that NPC (See Nui-
sance Prevention Circuitry) is active, the remote emit 5 beeps.

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 button is located. Be sure to
check with the installer for the location and the number of presses of
the Valet button required to disarm the system.
To disarm the security system:
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Press and release the Valet button the preset number of times
(one, the factory setting, to five times) within 15 seconds.
After five seconds the sys tem disarms. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long.
Turn the ignition off and on and try again.
Location of Valet Button _________________________________
Number of Pulses _________________________________
The unit may respond to one to five pulses of the Valet button, when
disarming. Check with your installer to discuss how you want the
system configured.
Note: as a precaution, if programmed for passive arming the system
should be placed into Valet Mode until a remote is available.

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,
or airport noise.
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 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 starts 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 are bypassed until the
trigger ceases.
NPC is On/Off programmable, except doors are always covered
whether on or off. See your dealer and the Programming section of
this guide for more information.
Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function. In order
to reset a bypassed zone, the same zone must not trigger for 60
minutes, or when ignition is turned on. 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.

Auxiliary outputs
This system also supplies outputs that can control convenience options
such as remote control trunk release and window automation. Consult
your dealer for available options for your system.
Channel 2 Trunk release: When connected, pressing AUX for 1.5
seconds will remotely release the vehicle trunk lid.
Channel 3 auxiliary output: When connected, pressing
will immediately activate this output to control an additional convenience option.
The remote will respond with a page notification consisting of one
long beep and displays the channel number for 4 - seconds on the
LCD screen. This occurs at the remote after the system has received the
command to activate any of the Auxiliary outputs.
and
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.
© 2012 Directed. All rights reserved.
21
Page 25
Arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active - door open, sensor
triggering - the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more
time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.
Bypass Notification will not occur when using Silent Mode or if chirps
have been programmed OFF. The security system will continually ignore the zone that was active until the input stops. Three seconds after
the input stops, the system monitors that input normally.
For example, if your vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm
it before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification
chirps. Once the light shuts off, 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 (see NPC section of this
guide).
The in-vehicle status LED indicates which zone was involved. (See
Table of Zones section of this guide.) The system retains this information in its memory, and continues to chirp four or five times each time it
is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.

Interpreting zone diagnostics
Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or a Tamper
Alert notification when disarming, look at the in-vehicle status LED.
Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by
this LED.
For Example: If Zone 3 was active or triggered, the in-vehicle LED will
blink three times with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three times
again, and repeat until the ignition is turned on.
Your system stores the last six triggered zones in memory. If your system
has been triggered but the LED has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can still recall the last six zones that were triggered.
Contact your dealer for details.
Vehicle recovery system (VRS)
The optional VRS® feature is designed to en sure that any un au thorized 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
24

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 con trary to the product’s design
and in tend ed usage, and Directed hereby ex press ly dis claims any
liability re sult ing therefrom.
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.
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.

Fif teen seconds after the last door has closed, the in-vehicle 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 ig ni 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 se quence
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 dental 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
button on the remote control. The lights flash and the
siren chips. If the system has entered the triggered sequence (siren has begun chirping), pressing the disarm button of the transmit ter will not disarm VRS.
To disarm the VRS during a VRS trigger sequence:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the Valet button the pre-programmed number of times to
disarm the VRS system.
If the VRS has begun its chirping sequence, the ignition must be
turned off, then On, to disarm. If you are driving the vehicle, pull
over to a safe place and follow the triggered sequence disarm
procedure.

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 simply press
range of the vehicle. The alarm will au to mat i cal ly re-sync and respond
to the trans mit ters nor mal ly.

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.
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:
s Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system
has been armed for 24 hours, the in-vehicle LED will flash at
half its normal rate, decreasing the system’s current draw.
s Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode
the in-vehicle 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:
s Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (au to mat-
ic arming 30- seconds after the last door has been closed).
s Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps On or off.
s 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 the doors are closed, 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.
Ignition lock and unlock are independent features and
can be programmed separately, when using the Bitwriter.
s Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door
locking (only when arming with the remote). Passive lock-
ing 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.
When programmed for passive arming and active lock, if the
system is disarmed without a door being opened, the system will
re-lock the doors when it passively rearms.
30

Page 34
s 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.
s 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 sys tem will be
armed in every situation.
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.
s 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 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is turned off, the
in-vehicle LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to
indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of
the vehicle will be dis abled.
To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the
remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turn ing
the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing the Valet button
the programmed number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet Mode. This feature only functions if the Failsafe®
Starter Kill relay has been installed.
s Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long
© 2012 Directed. All rights reserved.
31
Page 35
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.
s 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.
Because many states have laws regulating security systems, program ming NPC® off may cause your sys tem to violate state laws.
s 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 pro grammed off.
s Valet pulse count: The number of presses of the Valet but-
ton required to disarm the security system, AED, or the
VRS system can be programmed from one to five presses.
s Comfort Closure: Windows will close upon locking the vehicle.

Installation options
The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor.
Some of the possibilities are listed here.
s 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.
s Vehicle Recovery System, (VRS): It is an anti-carjacking 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.

Security & Convenience Expansions
Listed are some of the many expansion options avail able. Please contact your dealer to find out about all the convenience options available to you.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, cracking glass, and breaking glass
each produce dis tinc tive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor
uses a microphone to pick up sounds, and then using pro pri etary
acoustic software, analyzes the sounds to determine if the glass was
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.
Headlight and Parking Light Automation: The 545T Nite-Lite® will
au to mat i cal ly turn on your parking and headlights when it gets dark.
In addition, the 545T will turn your headlights on whenever the windshield wipers are used. A transmitter function can also be used to turn
on your parking and headlights for a programmed time.
Power Trunk Release: The channel two output of the system can oper 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 pro vid-
