Safety features This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components. ➢ Starter anti-grind circuitry Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.
Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. Refer to System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide for diagnostic information. ➢ Last trigger AUX Press three times and then hold for 1.5 seconds.
Note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed off by the installer. ➢ Disarming Extra chirps heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, the system was triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection® Circuitry has bypassed the intended zone.
Disarm 3 disarmed with Low battery indicator Disarm 4 System disarmed with Tamper Alert Disarm 5 System disarmed with NPC active. ➢ Table of zones A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches that have been installed.
For example: If zone 3 was active or triggered, the 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. ➢ 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.
• • 7 flashes: manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized 8 flashes: neutral safety wire has no ground or the remote start defeat toggle switch is off. Keep a record of the number of flashes, to assist your installer when taking the vehicle in for service. Owner recognition Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique settings that meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user.
Power saver mode ➢ System 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. 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 Your system has many custom programmable options. Some may require installation labor. Ask your authorized dealer for details. The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold.
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 a dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound.
Security & convenience expansions Listed below are some of the many expansion options available. Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you. Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows, and can roll them up automatically when the system is armed, roll them down, or both up and down. Ultrasonic Cabin Sensor: Using the 509U Ultrasonic cabin sensor provides a field of protection inside the car to protect your belongings. 50 © 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
