Using your system ➢ Active arming You can arm the system by pressing on your transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren chirp and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately once per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your vehicle.
• If a door is opened, the system will immediately start 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 transmitter 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.
➢ Arming while driving Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle. ������� Press on the transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is running. The siren will chirp once to indicate that the security system is armed, and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond to any input except the door triggers, and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated.
➢ Disarming without a transmitter If your transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet® switch is located. Be sure to check with your installer at the time of installation for both the location and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet® switch. The factory default setting is 1 press.
➢ Panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Press for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren sounds and the parking lights flash for the programmed siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press on the remote transmitter again. ������� ➢ Valet mode You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and triggering by using Valet Mode.
Remote start You can remotely start and run your vehicle for a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the engine, and adjust the interior tempera ture of the vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.
When you are ready to drive the vehicle: 1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the On position. 2. Press the brake pedal. Important: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position, the engine will shut down. During remote start operation, the system monitors the vehicle and will automatically shut down the engine if any of the following occurs. • The brake pedal is pressed. • The hood is opened. • The shutdown toggle switch is put into the OFF position.
To turn the rear defogger output ON: 1. 2. 3. + + buttons on the reSimultaneously press & release the mote control. The lights will flash 3 times. The rear defogger output will once again activate when the vehicle is remote started. ������� If the remote start is on, the lights turn off then flash 3-times before returning to normal output. The defogger activates as programmed. If the temperature is greater than 55° F when remote start is activated, the rear defogger does not activate for that start.
➢ Timer mode When you activate timer mode the system automatically starts the vehicle every three hours for a maximum of 6 starts. The pre-programmed engine runtime is 12 minutes. • • Press and to activate timer mode. The parking lights flash four times, and after a 1 second delay, the engine starts. To shutdown the engine, press the remote start button .
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.
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 environ mental 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.
➢ Arming diagnostics If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that the security system ignores the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the security system will resume normal monitoring.
➢ 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. Action Arm Number of Chirps Description 1 System armed Arm 1 (3-second delay), 1 Disarm 18 2 System armed with Bypass Notification System disarmed Disarm 4 System disarmed with Tamper Alert Disarm 5 System disarmed NPC active ©2009 Directed Electronics.

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.
Code hopping The receiver and transmitters use a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter 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 transmitter “in sync” with the control unit even if you use the remote control out of range of the vehicle.
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, and Valet Mode.
Programming options Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold. • Active arming (transmitter only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed). • Arming/disarming siren chirps on or off.
• • • • • • 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.
Security & convenience expansions Listed below are expansion options available to you. 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.
Glossary of terms Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions. Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
