Important information Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle se curity system. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates to verify that they are authorized.
➢ Your warranty Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration is not returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the warranty registration from your dealer. ➢ FCC/ID notice This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules.
Transmitter functions The system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the trans mitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.
Button The panic feature is controlled by pressing this button for two seconds. and Buttons An optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that you have added to your system can be activated by pressing these buttons simultaneously. The auxiliary output controls_________________________. ������� ������� ������� ������� ������� ➢ Three-button configuration (Available with optional three-button transmitter.
Using your system The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured to meet your needs. ➢ Active arming You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash once.
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 of this guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over. When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows: Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away® signal.
➢ Multi-level security arming The Multi-Level Security Arming feature is available with the fourbutton transmitter only. Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security system’s inputs or sensors are to be active and which are to be bypassed, when arming the system. (See the Table of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing again within five seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-Level Security Arming feature.
ignition, are now bypassed. • Hold down the cycle over again. to begin the Multi-Level Security Arming 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. ➢ Arming while driving Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle. on your transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is Press running or while the ignition is on.
➢ 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. ������� ➢ High security disarm This security system offers High Security Disarm.
➢ Disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the remote transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm the system without a remote transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet switch is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the number of presses of the Valet switch required to disarm the system.
➢ Silent mode To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode™. Press for less than one second before arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one oper ation only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you. ������� The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free.
To enter or exit Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. The status LED lights solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and goes out if you are exiting Valet Mode. To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter: 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . 4. Press again. ������� ������� The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode.
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 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 will be bypassed until the trigger ceases. Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!.
Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring 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 microprocessor 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.
➢ 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 Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.
➢ 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.
Code hopping The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas called algorithms 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.
High frequency Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz, using a superhetrodyne XR+ receiver. 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. Owner Recognition Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from Directed. Using the Directed Bitwriter, a hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings.
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, VRS®, and Valet Mode.
Programming options Programming options control what your system does during normal operation, and require few or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labor. The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in Bold: • • • • Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door has been closed). Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off.
• • Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some states have laws against siren capability in a moving vehicle. Forced passive arming on or off: If your system is programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. This feature is useful if a door has been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.
• Comfort closure: To close the vehicles windows after remote locking. Can only be used on cars with the capability of closing windows (and on some cars the sunroof) with the key cylinder in the door. • 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.
• 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 your dealer, result ing in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The siren chirps can be either full volume or six decibels quieter than the full alarm blast. ➢ Additional options The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here.
Vehicle Recovery System (VRS) The optional VRS® feature is designed to ensure that any unau thorized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote control) will not be able to permanently separate you from your vehicle. The VRS cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; however, it does ensure that if your vehicle is taken by an unauthorized user, it will be disabled (after several progressive warnings) as safely as possible.
➢ 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 sequence (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.
➢ Triggered sequence Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the system’s status LED will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking. Forty-five seconds later, the siren begins chirping and the parking lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify authorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what the VRS will do next.
➢ Disarming the VRS Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS® triggering se quence and the disarm procedure. It is important to recognize and identify the VRS trigger sequence and know how to disarm it in case of accidental activation. Once the VRS is armed, it does not disarm automatically. You must disarm it the next time you operate the vehicle.
Glossary of terms Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system’s functions. 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.
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. Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the alarm “goes off” or “trips”.
Security & convenience expansions Listed below are some of the many expansion options available. Please contact your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you. Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, and then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is pro vided with the 529T and 530T systems. Valet® Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet® start system can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and power your climate control system with a push of a button. Overrev protection, open-hood lockout, brake pedal shutoff, and auto matic timer shutoff are all included. (This feature is only for automatic transmission, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles.
✂ Quick reference guide To arm using your remote You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your transmitter for one second.
