Using your S ystem
Arming
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of 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 vehicle’s
power door locks are controled by the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the Status LED will flash about twice a
second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you
hear a second chirp after arming and see the Status LED flashes in groups,
see Diagnostics section. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will
automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the
system“sees” y ou leave the v ehicle by opening and closing a door . Whenev er
the system is in its 30 second passive-arming countdown, the status led will
flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switchprotected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively
arm, unless forced passive arming is progarmmed on. (See
Programming Options section). Additionally , eac h time a sensor is
triggered during the arming countdown, the 30 second countdo wn
starts over.)
When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways:
• Light impacts will trigger the Warn A way
will chirp and the par king lights will flash for a fey seconds.
•Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence is 30 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.

signal. When triggered, the siren

• If a door is opened, the system will immediately star t chirping the siren
and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later , the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive reponse 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 response
(even if the door is immediately closed).
• T urning on the ighition key will trip the same two-stage reponse as opening
a door.
Armed While Driving
Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press
Button I on your transmitter while the vehicle is running. The system will
chirp once 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 kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once y ou ha v e reached
your destination, the system must be disarmed by pressing Button I on
the transmitter once more. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop
flashing. If y ou do not disarm the system, it will trigger when the any door
is opened to exit the vehicle.
Disarming
To turn off, or disarm the system, press Button I again. You will hear
two chirps, and te parking lights will flash twice. If power locks are
controlled by the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chir ps either
four or five times when disarming, see Diagnostics section.This is called
Tamper Aler t.
High Security Disarm
Your system includes a High Security Disarm feature. During the
triggered sequence, using the transmitter to disarm it will only stop the
triggered 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 y ou must stop the system from sounding,
but are unable to chec k the vehicule visually. The trigger will stop, b ut the
vehicle will remain protected.
To disarm with the transmitter during a trigger, press Button I on your
trasmitter. The siren will stop sounding. Next press Button I once more
and the system will chirp four or five times (reporting the trigger) and
disarm.

Disarming Without a Transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter
should it be lost, damaged or disabled. In order to disarm without a
transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the
Valet button is. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the
Valet button.
Turn on the ignition. Push the Valet switch
within 15 seconds. The system should no w
disarm. If it does not, y ou may hav e waited
too long, so turn the ignition off and on
and try again.
Silent Mode
TM
To temporarily turn off the ar m of disarm chir ps, use Silent ModeTM.
Simply press Button II briefly before arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. If you want
the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for
you.
NOTE: The Warn Awa y® response to lighter impact is bypassed if
the system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps
will be emittted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The
system is still fully able to trigger. Only the Warn Away response
is defeated.
Panic Mode
If you are threatened in or near your v ehicle , y ou can attract attention
by triggering the system with you transmitter! Just press Button I for 1.5
seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the
parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To stop Panic Mode at any time,
press Button I on the transmitter again.
-7-
Valet® Mode
You can prevent your system from automatically arming and triggering
by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or
having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, even with the
transmitter , b ut all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.)
will work normally.
To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch:
Turn ignition to “run” position, then turn to
“off” position. Press and release the Valet
switch within 10 seconds. The Status LED will
light steady if you have entered Valet Mode,
and it will go out if you exited Valet Mode.
Using Remote Valet Mode as you enter or exit the vehicle:
• Open any door.
• Press Button I (or the arm/disarm button).
• Press Button II (or the function 2 button).
• Press Button I again.
The Status LED will light steady if you have entered Valet Mode, and it
will go out if you exited Valet Mode.

Nuisance Prevention
Circuitry
Your system has DEI’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPCTM). It
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
airpor t noise, etc.
Here’s how it works: Let’s say 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 . NPCTM (Nuisance Prev ention® Circuitry)
will interpret this pattern of 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).
-8-
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being bypassed, the 60 minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a
sensor that a sensor that continuously triggers will remain bypassed.
Doors are covered b y NPC differently; If the alarm is triggered by an open
door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors will be
bypassed until the trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!
The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to remain untriggered
for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing y our system, it is important to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to be
bypassed and seem to stop working. If five chir ps are heard when disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC memory,
turn the ignition on.
Diagnostics
The Microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantlly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty
switches and sensors and pre vents them from disabling the entire system.
The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occured
during your absence.
Arming Diagnostics
If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the unit will chir p once when ar ming and then one more
time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.
NOTE: Bypass Notification will not occur when using Silent Mode
or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed
until it goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that input nor mally.
For example, if your car has interior light exit delay, and you arm the
system before the interior light goes out, you may get Bypass Notification. Once the light goes out, howeve r, the doors are monitored normally.
-9-
Disarming Diagnostics
Extra disarm chir ps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when
disarming, the system was triggered so many times that Nuisance
Prevention® Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the Status
LED will indicate which zone was inv olved (see Table of Zones section). The
system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp four of five times
each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ighition key is turned on.
Table of Zones
The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system
to identify that input. the standard input assignments are listed below,
along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have
had installed.
NOTE: If the Warn Away® response is triggered, the LED will not
report it.

Code-Hopping
The receiver and transmitters each use a mathematical f ormula called
an algorith to change their code each time the transmitter is used. This
technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. The
contol unit knows what the next codes should be. This helps to keep the
trasmitter “in synch” with the control unit ev en 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 the battery has been removed,
it may get out of synch with th control unit and fail to operate the system.
To re-synch the remote control simply press the arm/disarm button of the
remote control several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will
automatically re-synch and respond to the transmitters normally.

Programming Options
Programming options control what your system does during normal
operation, and require little or no additional parts. However, some may
require additional installation labor. The factory settings are in bold.
• Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic
arming 30 seconds after the last door is closed).
• Arming/disar ming confir mation chir ps on or off.
• Passive door loc king (with passiv e arming) or active door locking (only
when arming with the transmitter). this feature only works if passive
arming has been selected for step one.
• The ignition-switch-contolled door-locking feature on or off. With this
feature on, the doors will lock 3 seconds after the k ey is turned on, and
unlock when the key is turned off.
Note: If the door is open when the ignition is turned on, the doors
will not lock

• Panic mode enabled/disab led with the ignition on. (Some states hav e laws
against siren capability in a moving vehicle).
• Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off. This feature deters theft of the
vehicle, whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the
starter of the vehicle will be disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned
off. The LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal ar med rate) to indicate
the AED arming cycle. 30 seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be
disabled. To start the car, you will need to arm the car with the remote and
then disarm it with the remote. You can also disarm the AED feature by
turning the ignition on and pressing the Valet button once. AED is also
disabled when in Valet mode.
NOTE: This feature will only function if the Failsafe starter kill relay
has been installed.
• Forced passive arming on or off. If your system is progr ammed to passively
arm and this feature has been programmed on, the system will passively
arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. If a door
has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle, forced passive
arming ensures that the system will ar m in one hour.
NOTE: When forced passive arming occurs, the entr y point that has
been left open, and an ything connected to the same zone, is bypassed
and cannot trigger the system. The remaining inputs to the system
are fully operational.
• Siren tones and chir p volume. The output of the Revenger® Soft Chirp®
siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of these tones can
be eliminated by your dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren
sound. The siren chirps can be either full volume or 6 decibels quieter
than the full alarm blast.

Glossary of Terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under neath 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 (optional): 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 may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sensor,
pinswitch or to existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights
.
LED:
your system. It is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
A red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of
Shock Sensor: This system is packaged with a Doubleguard® Shock Sensor. This
sensor is mounted in the vehicle and is designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or
glass.
Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine compartment of the
vehicle. It is responsible for generating the “chirps” you hear, as well as the six tones
you hear while the alarm is triggered.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your
system.
Trigg er or triggered response: This is what happens when the alarm “goes off”
or “trips.” The triggered response of your system consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light flashing.
Valet® Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere inside the vehicle. It
is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter Valet
mode.
Warn Away® Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the War n-
Away 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.

Security & Convenience Expansions
Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options available for
use with your system. Please consult your dealer for a complete list of all
the options available to you.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is established
by the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can react to any intrusions into
this field with the triggered sequence.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alar m
and keeps the starter kill active if main battery power is disconnected.
Electronic Hood Lock: This prevents the vehicle’s hood from being
opened whenever the system is in alarm mode, keeping thieves away from
the system’s siren, the battery connections, or other components under the
hood.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, or breaking glass produce
distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone
to pick up sounds, and then analyze them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
Po wer T runk Release: The auxiliary output of the system can be used to
operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s tr unk or hatch. (An optional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not power-activated,
DEI's 522T trunk-release solenoid can often be added.
Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other systems, additional parts may
be required.
Valet® Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet Star t System can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and power your climate control system with a push of a button! Over-rev protection, openhood lockout, brake-pedal shutdown, and automatic timer shutdown are all
included. (Only for automatic-transmission, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles).
Po wer Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with
the 529T or 530T systems. These can operate power windows, roll them up
automatically when the system is armed, and roll them down when the
auxiliary output button is pressed. The 530T also provides one touch switch
operation.
