To replace the battery, gently pull the battery cover release tab, then slide the door down to expose the battery and remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the transceiver observing the correct polarity. When power is returned the transceiver will light all icons in the LCD and generate a musical tone. 4-Button Remote Battery Replacement Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year under normal use.

LCD 2-way remote operation The security system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s proprietary A.S.K. out-board two-way transceiver. The high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with two-way communication. system signal paging features A page is the signal the control module sends to the transceiver as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.
using your system important: Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. active arming You can arm the system by pressing of your remote 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.
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. Additionally, each time a protected entry is opened (triggered) during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over. When armed your vehicle is protected as follows: • • • • • Light impacts trigger the Warn Away® signal. When triggered, the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds. Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence.
• • Remote Control LCD - The full trigger alert icon (28) will dimly illuminate for two seconds The transceiver will enter Page Recognition Mode and operate alarm page alerts. note: Icons 13 and 14 represent alarm system zone inputs. For more information about icons and the zones they represent refer to the Standard Remote Configurations section.
• Ignition Trigger - If the ignition is turned on the siren will chirp for three seconds, then the siren will sound and the lights will flash for the programmed duration and the remote will flash. When a Triggered Response is activated the transceiver will: • • • • Repeat four quick beeps (or vibrate) for 15 seconds. The full trigger alert icon (28) will turn on for 15 seconds. The zone icons will turn on and remain on until a transceiver button is pressed, clearing the page alert.
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 will stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system will not disarm, but rather reset.
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON position. Press the Valet button within 15 seconds. After five DRW-35 seconds, the system will disarm. 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_________________________________ silent mode To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode™.
panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your remote. Just press for 1.5 seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press , or , . The LCD 2-way remote will beep (or vibrate) continuously when the system enters panic mode. The 2-way remote will not generate a page notification when panic mode is exited.
To enter or exit Valet Mode using the remote: Steps 2 through 3 must be quickly and smoothly completed. 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . again. 4. Press The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode. setting the clock To set the clock press and hold for five seconds, the trans- ceiver will chirp twice and the hour selection will start flashing.
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.
diagnostics 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 also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide for diagnostic information.
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 triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection® Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section).
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.
range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the remote normally. high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phenomen al increase in range, even in areas with high radio interference. rapid resume logic This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory.
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. The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold. • Active arming (from remote only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed). • Arming/disarming siren chirps on or off.
security & convenience expansions 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.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided 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. installation options Installation options may require additional parts or labor. Please consult your dealer. Progressive Unlocking: With electric power door locks, the system can be configured so that when disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks.
glossary of terms 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.
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 mounted at a discre- tionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the starter interrupt when a remote is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode.
