Beeps On/Off Press to select beeps On/Off. One beep is notification beeps On, Two beeps is notification beeps Off. The notification beeps are programmed On from the factory and can be programmed Off if they are not desired. When programmed Off the remote will only flash the LEDs as notification of a command page or an alarm page.
To exit programming mode The remote control will exit programming mode after 2-seconds of inactivity and will emit 2 long beeps. using your system ➜ warning! safety first 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 2-way remote control.
➤ 14 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.
➜ active arming You can arm the system by pressing of your 2-way 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 controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While the system is armed, the in-vehicle status LED will flash approximately once per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your vehicle.
and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming countdown, the in-vehicle 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.
➤ ➤ ➤ while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed). Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive response as opening a door. The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking. Any full trigger of the alarm system will immediately send an alarm page to your remote informing you that your vehicle should be checked.
➤ Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed. note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again. After each press of the to reach the next level of security, the remote will emit normal arm notification (1 beep and 3 flashes of the Orange LED).
➜ disarming To disarm the security system, press . You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also unlock. The siren chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics Section of this guide. The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 3 flashes of the Orange LED.
1. First press any button on the remote to clear the alarm page. 2. Press either the or button again and the High Security disarm feature will be activated. The siren will be silenced and the system will reset to the armed state. 3. Pressing the button once more will fully disarm the system and allow the vehicle to be accessed. notes: The first press of the remote button, while the remote is beeping, only clears the alarm page (no command is sent to the vehicle).
(one to five times) within 15 seconds. After five 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_________________________________ Number of Presses_____________________________________ important! The Valet® button can be programmed to respond to 1-5 presses for the disarm function. You must check with the installer to verify the programming for your individual unit.
➜ panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your 2-way remote. Just press for 3-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 on the 2-way remote. The remote responds with one flash of the Red LED upon entering Panic Mode and two flashes of the Red LED upon exiting Panic Mode.

To remote start the vehicle: 1. Press on the 2-way remote twice within 3 seconds. 2. The parking lights will flash to confirm that the vehicle will attempt to start. 3. In gasoline vehicles, the engine will start 4 seconds after the parking lights flash. In diesel vehicles, the engine will start when the WAIT-TO-START indicator on the vehicle's dash goes out. 4.
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 will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut down the engine if the system receives any of the following shut-down inputs: ➤ The brake pedal is pressed. ➤ The hood is opened. ➤ The shutdown toggle button is put into the OFF position. ➤ The pre-programmed run time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) has elapsed.
➜ valet® take-over 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 controls on. To perform Valet® Take-Over: 1. Before turning off the engine, press and release on the 2- way remote twice within 3 seconds. Then wait five seconds. 2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

Channel 5 auxiliary output: When connected, pressing and will immediately activate this output to control an additional convenience option. The remote will respond with a page notification consisting of an output tone (once) and the Yellow LED will flash 3-times.
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 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.
➜ 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.
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 ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the NPC™ programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working.
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. ➜ disarming diagnostics Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert.
Action Number of Chirps Description Arm 1 System armed Arm 1 (3-second delay), 1 System armed with Bypass Notification Disarm 2 System disarmed Disarm 4 System disarmed with Tamper Alert Disarm 5 System disarmed NPC active ➜ table of zones A zone is represented by the number of in-vehicle status LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input.
➜ 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 car. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by the LED. Example If zone 3 was active or triggered, the in-vehicle status 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.
removed, it may fall out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote simply press several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the 2-way remotes 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 phenomenal 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. 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 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 in Valet® Mode: When the system enters Valet® Mode the in-vehicle status LED 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 in-vehicle status LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet® Mode, the invehicle status LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off. programming options Programming options control your system's normal, operational set-up.
➤ Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door locking (only when arming with the 2-way remote). 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.
➤ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off. The purpose of this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of 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. Once the key is turned off, the in-vehicle status LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter will be disabled.
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.
leases, 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 pro- vided 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.
Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by your system that 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 if the starter interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has featureready circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may require additional labor. Input: A physical connection to the system.
Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warning Zone 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. 44 © 2004 directed electronics, inc.
