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 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.
transmitter functions The system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the transmitter 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.
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.
as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp one time 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 (optional feature) note: Multi-Level Security Arming is only available when using an optional Radar Master transmitter that has been configured with separate transmitter buttons for arming and disarming.
➤ 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. ➤ Pressing the arm button 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. arming while driving Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle. Simply press on your transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is 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. ➜ siren silencing This system offers Siren Silencing. Siren Silencing is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system.
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. Press the Valet button the preset number of times (one to DRW-35 five times) within 15 seconds. After 5 seconds, the system will now disarm.

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 switch within 10 seconds. The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go 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.
ignores, or bypasses, that sensor (along with any other sensors sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. 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 FACT differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases. FACT is programmable.
during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones charts for diagnostic information. ➜ 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 Remote Controlled Chirp Muting or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
was involved (see Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory, and continue to chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on. ➜ system status chirps The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The pattern of chirps will audibly report the system’s status as described below.
➜ 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. anti-code grabbing 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.
smart power up II 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.
system with the transmitter. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing the Valet button the programmed number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet Mode. note: This feature will only function if the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay has been installed. ➤ Comfort closure: Windows will close upon locking the vehicle. ➤ Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long the full triggered sequence lasts.
trigger is desired, the progressive door trigger can be programmed off. ➤ Valet pulse count: The number of presses of the Valet button required to disarm the security system, AED, or the VRS® system can be programmed from one to five presses. The default setting is one press. ➤ Siren tones and chirp volume: The output of the 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.
® 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.
twice. 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.
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. Fault-Proof Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
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". The triggered response of your system consists of the siren sounding and parking light flashing for the programmed duration. 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 additional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not power activated, then 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.
