➜ system maintenance This system needs no specific maintenance beyond 2-way remote control battery replacement. The 2-way remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. Low Battery Notification If the battery is low (and this feature is programmed On) the 2way remote will emit 2 long beeps 5-seconds after a transmission is completed. The 2 long beeps will repeat every 25seconds up to 3 times (or until a 2-way remote button is pressed).
➜ 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device. Directed Electronics, Inc.
2-way remote control functions The 2-way remote control buttons are used to send commands to the system. The descriptions below reflect the standard configuration for this system. The buttons can be custom configured for the user’s specific needs by the installer. ➜ standard button configurations Button The System Arm and Multi-Level Security Arming functions are controlled by pressing this button for one second.
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 __________________________. remote operation The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board technology transceiver. The high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with two-way communication.
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 LED icons will display the alarm system status information and the remote control will generate beeps. An Alarm Page alert is a series of 10 or 4 rapid beeps and the Red LED will illuminate. This will repeat every 100 seconds to alert the user that the alarm system was triggered and will continue until the alarm page is cleared.
➜ out of range notification If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is beyond the range of the vehicle to receive the command, the remote responds with 2 sets of 3 quick beeps and the Green LED will flash 6-times. programming 2-way remote To enter programming mode Press and hold all four remote control buttons simultaneously until one long beep is heard. Programming mode is now entered. Beeps On/Off Press to select beeps On/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.). Press to select page On/Off. One beep is page On, Two beeps is page Off. When programmed off the remote will not give any notification that a page was received from the vehicle. To exit programming mode The remote control will exit programming mode after 2-seconds of inactivity and will emit 2 long beeps.
second chirp after arming and note that the in-vehicle’s status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification. The remote responds to active arming with one beep and the Orange LED will flash 3-times to indicate successful arming of the system. If after 2-seconds the remote beeps once and the Orange and Red LEDs flash 3-times, the system has detected an active sensor that should be checked.
The remote responds to passive arming with one beep and the Orange LED will flash 3-times to indicate successful arming of the system. note: 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.) Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
➜ multi-level security arming Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing (only in Standard Configuration) again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-Level Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a different security level is selected.
After each press of the to reach the next level of security, the remote will emit normal arm notification (1 beep and 3 flashes of the Orange LED). For easiest operation in reaching each level of security, press immediately after each notification. ➜ arming while driving Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press on the 2-way remote for two seconds while the vehicle is running.
The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 3 flashes of the Orange LED. 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 beep 4-times and the Orange and Red LEDs flash 3 times. 2.
notes: The first press of the remote button, while the remote is beeping, only clears the alarm page (no command is sent to the vehicle). The transceiver transmits immediately upon system trigger and does not allow disarm during the first 6 seconds after trigger. The 2-way remote will respond with a number of beeps and LED flashes according to whether a pinswitch, sensor, activated the alarm (and also if NPC is active).
important! The unit can be programmed to respond to one to five pulses of the Valet® button for the disarm function. Be sure to check with the installer for the desired programming. The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 3 flashes of the Orange LED. ➜ 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.
➜ panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your 2-way remote. Just press for two 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 2-way remote again. The remote responds with one flash of the Red LED upon entering Panic Mode and two flashes of the Red LED upon exiting Panic Mode.
To enter or exit Valet® Mode using the 2-way remote: 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . 4. Press again. The in-vehicle status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet® Mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet® Mode. The remote responds with the normal arm/disarm notifications with each remote button press. ➜ nuisance prevention® circuitry Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC®).
note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function.The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the NPC® programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, NPC® has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC® memory, turn the ignition key on. NPC® is programmable. See Programming Options section of this guide.
This occurs at the remote after the system has received the command to activate any of the Auxiliary outputs. 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.
➜ 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 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 in-vehicle 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 2-way remotes each use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the 2-way remote 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 2-way remote "in sync" with the control unit even if you use the 2-way remote out of range of the vehicle.
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 2-way remote that is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific 2-way remote is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that 2-way remote.
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 to the vehicle’s 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 in-vehicle LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ Active arming (only with the 2-way remote) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door has been closed). Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off. The ignition controlled door lock feature on or off: With this feature on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. The system will not lock the doors when the ignition is turned on with any door open.
ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the security system will be armed in every situation. note: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system are fully operational.
security system with the Directed Bitwriter, the full triggered response can be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds. ➤ Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry on or off: Please refer to the NPC® section of this manual for a complete explanation of how NPC® operates. If NPC® is programmed off, the security system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely. note: Because many states have laws regulating security systems, programming NPC® off may cause your system to violate state laws.
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 2-way remote 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. ➜ vrs triggered sequence ® 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.
glossary of terms 2-Way Remote: Hand-held, 2-way transceiver which operates the various functions of your system. 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.
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. It is used to override the alarm when a 2-way remote is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet® mode. Warn Away Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warning Zone response.
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.
