The high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with two-way communication.
note: When the system is in Valet mode, the remote control will show the lock (5) and unlock (6) icons, but will not generate a command page. Alarm Page If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will be sent to the remote control. After receipt of an Alarm Page, the LCD icons will display the alarm system status information and the remote control will generate Alarm Page alerts.
➜ programmable remote control features To enter programming mode Press and hold all four remote control buttons simultaneously until one long beep is heard. Programming Mode has now been entered. Page Notification The remote control can be programmed to notify the user of a page by audibly beeping or remote vibration. Beep Mode Beep Mode includes alarm arm/disarm diagnostic beeps and distinctive two-tone remote start beeps.
Illumination On/Off Within five seconds of entering Programming Mode, press . The remote will beep once for on, twice for off and the light will turn on/off with each press. Page Mode On/Off After entering Programming Mode, press within five seconds to toggle on and off. When the Page Mode is on, the remote control will wake up periodically to check for messages from the security module. It will also wake up when any button is pushed.
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.
fast as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp once 20 seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
➤ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage response as opening a door. ➤ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking. ➜ multi-level security arming Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed at the time that the system is armed.

the ignition, are now bypassed. ➤ Continued pressing of will begin the Multi-Level Security Arming cycle over again. arming while driving 18 © 2004 directed electronics, inc.
➜ 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 button is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the number of presses of the Valet button required to disarm the system. To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON position.
➜ silent mode To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode™. Simply press for less than one second 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 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.
valet mode You can prevent your security 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 security system will not arm, even with the remote transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally. To enter or exit Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet DRW-35 switch within 10 seconds.
➜ nuisance prevention® circuitry Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC®). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. 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.
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. 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.
note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones in memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact your dealer for details. 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.
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. 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.
note: This feature will only function if the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay has been installed. ➤ 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 Directed Bitwriter, the full triggered response can be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤ 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, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The siren chirps can be either full volume or six decibels quieter than the full alarm blast. installation 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 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.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will change to a continuous blast. 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 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 preprogrammed number of times to DRW-35 disarm the VRS system. note: If the VRS® system has begun its chirping sequence, the ignition must be turned off, then on to disarm.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: Blue light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors. Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
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. Two or more inputs often share the same zone. 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.
whenever the windshield wipers are used. A transmitter function can also be used to turn on your parking and headlights for a programmed time. Power Trunk Release: The channel two output of the system can operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. (An additional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not power activated, then Directed's 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added.
