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. The buttons can be custom configured for the user’s specific needs by the installer. 2- way and 1- way s Press and release to lock the doors and arm the vehicle. s Press and release to unlock the doors and disarm the vehicle.
Remote paging, 2-way The system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s proprietary out-board technology transceiver. The high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with twoway communication. Signal paging features A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote control as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.
Page Recognition (Acknowledgement) To clear a page alert/notification, quickly press any button on the remote control. This can be performed at any time during or after the page notification has occurred. The remote control will not send a command to the system at this time; it will only clear future repeats of the page notification. The next time a button is pressed on the remote control it will send a command to the system.
Programming your 2-way remote control To enter programming mode: Press and hold the P button located on the back of the remote control until one long beep sounds. You can now customize the remote’s response feedback. If no buttons are pressed within 5 seconds, programming mode is exited; the remote sounds 2 beeps. Beeps and Vibration, On/Off Press settings.
Page notification The remote control can notify the user of a page by emitting beeps if the vehicle’s status changes, for example, if a door is unlocked, or any vehicle violation. On the 2-way remote, press to select page On/Off. One beep is page On. Two beeps is page Off. When programmed off the remote does not give any notification that a page was received from the vehicle. Page notification Response On 1 beep Off 2 beeps Note: If programmed Off, the remote receives no notification of alarm triggers.
Using your system The buttons described in this manual correspond to the standard configuration. However, the remote commands may be customized to suit your specific 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. If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock.
status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20 - second point of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to arm. At the 30 - second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate that the system is armed. The LCD remote responds to passive arming with one beep and the icon will flash 3- times to indicate successful arming of the system.
be checked. Multi-level security arming Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security system’s inputs or sensors are active, or are bypassed when the system is armed. (See the Table of Zones section of this guide) Press one time to arm the system, siren chirps one time. Pressing again activates Multi-Level Security Arming.
Disarming To disarm the system, press . You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. The remote sounds 2 beeps and the unlock icon flashes 5 times, when the system is disarmed.
ond timer is provided for your convenience, in case you accidentally trigger the system. 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.
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. (may be programed to On or Off, by the dealer installer) Silent mode To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode™. Press AUX 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 remote. LCD remote s Press button for approximately two seconds, to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed siren duration. s To stop Panic Mode at any time, press or on the LCD remote again. The LCD remote emits one beep and displays the the system is in 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 switch within 10 seconds.
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, or airport noise. For 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.
Auxiliary outputs 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 AUX 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.
Arming diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active - door open, sensor triggering - the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification. Bypass Notification will not occur when using Silent Mode or if chirps have been programmed OFF. The security system will continually ignore the zone that was active until the input stops. Three seconds after the input stops, the system monitors that input normally.
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 Chirps Description Arm 1 System armed Arm 3-second delay, 1 System armed with Bypass Notification Disarm 2 System disarmed Disarm 4 System disarmed with Tamper Alert Disarm 5 System disarmed NPC active Table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input.
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 in-vehicle status LED. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by this LED. For 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.
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. The Failsafe Starter Kill cannot shut down an already-running engine – it can only prevent an engine from starting in the first place.
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. Forty-five seconds later, the siren begins chirping and the parking lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify authorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what the VRS will do next.
If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has not started chirping): 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Press button on the remote control. The lights flash and the siren chips. If the system has entered the triggered sequence (siren has begun chirping), pressing the disarm button of the transmitter will not disarm VRS. To disarm the VRS during a VRS trigger sequence: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Press the Valet button the pre-programmed number of times to disarm the VRS system.
Code hopping The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes 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, VRS, and Valet Mode.
Programming options 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: s Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (automatic arming 30- seconds after the last door has been closed).
s Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some states have laws against siren capability in a moving vehicle. s Forced passive arming On or off: If your system is programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. This feature is useful if a door has been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.
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. s Nuisance Prevention Circuitry On or off: Please refer to the NPC section of this manual for a complete explanation of how NPC operates.
Installation options The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here. s 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. s Vehicle Recovery System, (VRS): It is an anti-carjacking device designed to help in the safe recovery of your vehicle in case of a carjacking.
Security & Convenience Expansions Listed are some of the many expansion options available. Please contact your dealer to find out about all the convenience options available to you. Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, cracking glass, and breaking glass each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, and then using proprietary acoustic software, analyzes the sounds to determine if the glass was struck.
ed with the 529T and 530T systems. Tilt Sensor: The 507M tilt sensor can be added to your system to protect your car when its parked. An alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted, to protect expensive rims. Remote Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, A Directed remote start system can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and power your climate control system with a push of a button.
System maintenance This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote control battery replacement. The 2-way remote is powered by one 1.5V AAA battery. The 1-way remote is powered by two 3V, CR2016 batteries. Battery Level Indicator, 2-way The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as a visual indication of battery charge.
