➜ System maintenance This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote control battery replacement. The 2-way remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The 1-way remote is powered by a pair of 3V, CR2016 batteries. Battery Level Indicator (2-way remote) The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as a visual indication of battery charge.
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. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
Replacement remote controls You can purchase replacement remote controls from your Authorized Dealer or on-line at the following web site: www.directedstore.com Once you receive your new remote control, please refer to instructions included on the remote packaging. 2-way LCD remote control functions The LCD remote control buttons are used to send commands to the system. The descriptions below reflect the standard configuration for this system.
Button Silent Mode™ and an optional auxiliary function are controlled by pressing this button. (Silent Mode™ works by pressing this button for less than one second before arming or disarming. An optional auxiliary function, such as trunk release, can be controlled by pressing this button for 1.5 seconds.) The auxiliary output controls __________________________. or Button The panic feature is controlled by pressing this button for approximately two seconds.
➜ Standard LCD icon configurations (2-way only) Icon The transmit icon will be displayed while the remote control is transmitting a command to the vehicle. Icon The signal icon will be displayed if a command is transmitted to the vehicle but the command page is not received. Icon The receive icon will be displayed while the remote control is receiving a page from the vehicle.
Icon The trunk icon will display for full alarm by flashing for a few seconds and then display continuously until the page is cleared. Icon The shock sensor icon will display for both Warn Away® and full alarm by flashing for a few seconds and then display continuously until the page is cleared. Icon The battery icon always displays the current charge capacity remaining in the remote’s battery.
press and release the program button until the vehicle number is shown. For example, If the remote was originally on vehicle number 1 and a trigger page was received for vehicle number 2, the remote will show the trigger alarm and show number 2 on the display. After clearing the page, press and release the program button until number 1 is displayed. Now you can operate the alarm system on vehicle number 1.
Transmitter functions This 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 described in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.
Alarm Page If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will be sent to the remote control. When the remote receives an Alarm Page, the LCD icons will display the alarm system status information and the remote control will generate beeps and-or vibration. An Alarm Page alert is a series of 5 groups of 4 rapid beeps (shock, trunk, door, ignition, or hood trigger) and the LCD icon that caused the alarm will display.
Programming LCD remote ➜ To enter programming mode Press and hold the P button until one long beep is heard. Programming mode to customize the remote’s response is now entered. note: If no buttons are pressed within 5-seconds, programming mode will exit with 2-beeps. ➜ Beeps/Vibration On/Off Press to select beeps/vibration On/Off. Beeps alone, vibra- tion alone, beeps and vibration, or no beeps and vibration can be selected. Refer to the table below for these settings.
➜ Illumination On/Off Press to select LCD backlight illumination On/Off. The LCD backlight will illuminate when a remote button is pressed, or an alarm status page is received. LCD Backlight settings Programming response ON 1-beep, backlight ON OFF 2-beeps, backlight OFF ➜ Page notification The remote control can be programmed to notify the user of a page (audibly beeping if the vehicle’s status changes, e.g. door unlocked, engine started, vehicle violation, etc.).
Using your system The buttons described 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. See your installer for additional details. ➜ Active arming You can arm the system by pressing of your 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.
Passive arming The system 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 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.
➤ ➤ ➤ 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 LCD remote if you inadvertently open the door 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.
➤ Press a third time witihin 5 seconds, the siren chirps 3 times then followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed. ➤ Press a fourth time within five seconds: The siren cirps four times follwed by a long chirp. Zone 2 and 4 are now bypassed. ➤ 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. ➤ Hold down the to begin the Multi-Level-Security Arming cycle over again.
The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 5 flashes of the icon. If disarming after the system has been triggered, the remote control will send a diagnostic notification as a reminder. These diagnostic notifications are: 1. If a sensor triggered the system, the remote will emit 4 quick beeps and the LCD screen will indicate which sensor (5flashes) tripped the alarm. 2.
➜ 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.
➜ Dome light control (optional) security only The dome light activates for 30 seconds after the system is disarmed. Ignition controlled The dome light activates for 30 seconds after the ignition is turned Off. door controlled The dome light activates for 30 seconds after the system sees a door has closed. (If door was held open for longer than 3 minutes the dome light will not illuminate.) full The dome light activates for 30 seconds after seeing door closure, ignition, or security disarm.
The LCD remote responds with the normal arm/disarm notifications in silent mode. (If the remote has beeps programmed On, the remote will beep.) ➜ Panic mode note: On both remotes the panic button is the same color. LCD remote If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your LCD remote. Just press or button for approximately two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode.
➜ 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 button within 10 seconds.
➜ False Alarm Control Technology (FACTII) Your system offers FACT II, a feature that prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here’s how it works: The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within 60 minutes of each other. FACT II will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms.
Auxiliary outputs (options) This system also supplies outputs that can control convenience options such as remote control trunk release and window automation. Consult your dealer for available options for your system. Channel 2 Trunk release: When connected, pressing for 1.5 seconds will remotely release the vehicle trunk lid. Channel 3 auxiliary output: When connected, pressing and will immediately activate this output to control an additional convenience option.
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 False Alarm Control Technology (FACT II) has bypassed that zone (see FACT II section of this guide). The in-vehicle 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. Zone - Number of LED Flashes Description 1 Instant trigger - often used for trunk pinswitches 2 Shock sensor input - a light impact activates warn away and a heavier impact activates full alarm.
➜ 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 invehicle status LED. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by this LED. Example If Zone 3 was active or triggered, the in-vehicle 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.
the transmitter several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally. 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. The programmer makes it possible to program different settings for each transmitter that is used with the system.
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 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 remote) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door has been closed). Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off.
note: When programmed for passive arming and active lock, if the system is disarmed without a door being opened, the system will relock the doors when it passively rearms. ➤ Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some states have laws against siren capability in a moving vehicle.
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. ➤ 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.
➤ Panic with Ignition Off: Prevents the Panic button on the remotes from activating panic with ignition On (not allowed in some states). ➤ Progressive door trigger on or off: When the system is armed and a door is opened, the system responds with ten chirps prior to beginning the full triggered sequence. If an instant trigger is desired, the progressive door trigger can be programmed off.
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 button unlocks the other doors. ➤ Vehicle Recovery System (VRS®): VRS is an anti-carjacking device designed to help in the safe recovery of your vehicle in case of a carjacking.
Directed has engineered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe® Starter Kill, and the VRS feature to provide the best combination of personal safety and property protection available. When properly installed, the system can never inadvertently stop your vehicle in traffic or on railroad tracks while the vehicle is in operation. It is unlike other systems that shut down your engine while it is running. This system is designed to perform starter interrupt, or starter kill.
if someone takes your keys and remote transmitter by force in a parking lot. note: If the VRS® system is armed while operating the vehicle and not disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven. ➜ Triggered sequence, VRS Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the in-vehicle LED will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.
➜ Disarming the VRS Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS triggering sequence 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. You must disarm it with one of the following procedures: If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has not started chirping): 1.
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.
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. Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is pro- vided with the 529T and 530T systems.
Glossary of terms ASK Amplitude Shift Keying—a method of transmitting data. 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. Fail Safe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the secu- rity system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
"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". The triggered response of your system consists of the siren sounding and parking light flashing for the programmed duration. Valet Button: A small push-button switch mounted somewhere inside the vehicle.
