System Maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control is powered by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim. Your Warranty Your warranty card must be returned and the bar code serial number must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, you do not have a warranty.
Transmitter Functions The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any receiver 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. Standard Configuration Button The arming/disarming/panic functions are controlled by .
Expanded Configuration Your system has an expanded configuration that can be utilized when upgrading to the four-button remote. In the expanded configuration, your system will operate similarly to many factory keyless entry systems that use separate remote transmitter buttons for the arm, disarm, panic and auxiliary output functions. MultiLevel Security Arming is also possible in the expanded configuration. Contact your dealer for details.
your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. 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" you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door.
■ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing an instant response (even if the door is immediately closed). ■ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage response as opening a door.
■ Pressing the arm button a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is now bypassed. ■ Pressing the arm button a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone Four is now bypassed. ■ Pressing the arm button a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones Two and Four are now bypassed.
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. This system proudly offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system.
without a 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 of the Valet switch. To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the "on" position. Press the Valet switch the selected number of times (1- DRW-35 5 times) within 15 seconds. The system should now disarm. If it does not, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition off and on and try again.
Panic Mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! 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 on the remote transmitter again. Valet® Mode You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and triggering by using Valet® Mode.
Remote Valet® The operations described in this section refer to transmitter buttons. Remember, the buttons used in all the instructions in this guide correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter. This may not be how your transmitter is set up. 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . 4. Press again. The status LED will light solid if you are entering Valet Mode, or 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 Diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming 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 security system will ignore the input that was active when the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the system will monitor that input normally.
Table of Zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific 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 a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code 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.
Owner Recognition Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from DEI®. Using a DEI® Bitwriter, hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer makes it possible to program different settings for each transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that transmitter.
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 on the vehicle's battery and prevents the system from draining the battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions: ■ Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 24 hours, the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
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.
■ 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. If your installer is programming the security system with the DEI Bitwriter or a personal computer and the TechSoft Programmer, the full triggered response can be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
Installation Options The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here. ■ 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 disarm button within 15 seconds of disarming unlocks the other doors.
Vehicle Recovery ® System (VRS ) The optional VRS feature is designed to ensure that any unauthorized 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.
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 restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot. Three minutes after the constant siren output begins, the flashing parking lights and the siren will stop. The starter kill will remain active until the system is disarmed. If the door is opened or the ignition is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the car, the siren and light flashing will begin again.
If the system has entered the triggered sequence (siren has begun chirping), pressing the disarm button of the transmitter will not disarm VRS. To disarm the VRS during a VRS trigger sequence: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Press the Valet® switch the pre-proDRW-35 grammed number of times to disarm the VRS® system. © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Glossary of Terms Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions. Failsafe® Starter Kill: 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.
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". 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 or exit Valet® mode.
Security & Convenience Expansions Here we have listed only 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 Trunk Release: The channel two output of the system can operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. (An optional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not power activated, the DEI's 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added. Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the 529T and 530T systems.
