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, or vibration alone, or beeps and vibration, or no beeps or 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 a 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 fourth time within five seconds: The parking lights flash four times. Zone 7 is now bypassed. ➤ Press a fifth time within five seconds: The parking lights flash five times. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed. ➤ Press a sixth time within five seconds: The parking lights flash six times. Zones 2 and 7 are now bypassed. ➤ Press seven times within five seconds: The parking lights flash seven times. Zones 4 and 7 are now bypassed.
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 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 On. 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 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. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed siren duration.
➜ 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.
➜ one-time bypass This feature stops the alarm from arming or activating any outputs that are programmed to activate when the alarm is armed. One-time bypass will defeat the following actions: Passive arming: If programmed ON the alarm will not arm itself. If the remote is used to arm the alarm after exiting the vehicle: Window roll up: If programmed ON this output will not activate. Linked Auxiliary Outputs: If programmed to activate on arm, they will not activate. To activate one-time bypass: 1.
faulty door pin switches or environmental 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. After the third trigger, NPC® ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
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.
shock sensor adjustment ➜ To enter shock sensor adjustment mode: note: The system must be disarmed, and doors and other protected entries (zones 1 and 6) must be closed, and ignition (zone 5) must be off. 1. Press and hold and buttons for 6-seconds. 2. The siren will emit one long chirp and LCD remote will emit 1 long beep when the buttons on the remote are released (or 1 vibrate, or 1 long beep with vibrate) to indicate entry into shock adjustment mode. 3.
➜ Adjusting the Shock Sensor Setting note: When adjusting the shock sensor, ensure that the vehicle’s doors are closed. 1. Increase Sensitivity—Press and release the button to increase shock sensor sensitivity by one step. The LCD transmitter beeps 2-times for each step increased in adjustment (and/or 1 vibrate if programmed). When the shock sensor adjustment reaches maximum sensitivity when the indicator bar is filled completely to the right .

note: When the shock sensor adjustment mode is exited, the bar indicator will indicate continuously. For example if level 15 was being set (bars 1 through 7 indicating continuously, and bar 8 flashing), upon exiting adjustment mode bars 1 through 8 will indicate continuously. BAR 1 SENSOR LEVEL SETTING SHOWN AT MID-POINT BAR 10 2. Decrease Sensitivity—Press and release the button to decrease shock sensor sensitivity by one step.
➜ Exit Shock Sensor Adjustment Mode: The adjustment mode will be exited if: ➤ No input from transmitter for 15-seconds. ➤ No input from sensitivity testing for 15-seconds. ➤ The ignition is turned On. ➤ The Valet button is pressed. The siren and LCD remote will emit 1 long beep and the LED will extinguish when shock adjustment mode is exited.
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 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 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 42 Dealer-Installed Options 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.

is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a period of one hour while the system is in Valet® Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet® Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off. 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.
allows the vehicle's doors to lock when the security system passively arms (after the 30 second countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been programmed. 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.
half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the remote. 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.
➤ 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. ➤ 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.
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. ➜ 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.
