transmitter functions
This system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-
mitter 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.
remote operation
The system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s propri-
etary out-board technology transceiver. The high frequency combined
with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with two-
way communication.
system 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.
When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page
notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps and-or
vibration) and the LCD Icons will display the current system status.
Command Page
When a command (arm/disarm, or auxiliary channel) from the
remote control is sent and received, the system will send a
command page back to confirm receipt.
© 2006 directed electronics
14
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 informa-
tion 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. The remote will beep and or
vibrate every 60 seconds to alert the user that the alarm system
was triggered and will continue until the alarm page is cleared.
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.
out of range notification
➜
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is set to
the incorrect vehicle or is beyond the range of the vehicle to
receive the command, the remote responds with 3 set of 2 quick
beeps and the
icon will flash 3-times.

using your system
The buttons described in this manual correspond to the standard
configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your trans-
mitter 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.
If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors
will also lock. While the system is armed, the in-vehicle’s status
LED will flash approximately once per second, indicating that
the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a
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 LCD remote responds to active arming with one beep and
the
icon will flash 5-times to indicate successful arming of
the system.
If the LCD remote beeps twice after arming, the system has detected
an active sensor that should be checked. For example, a door open
icon will be displayed flashing 5-times on the LCD screen.

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. 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.
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 pro-
grammed on. See Programming Options section.) Addi-
tionally, if a door, hood or trunk is triggered during the
arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
®
➤ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
➤ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence
consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking
lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can
range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤ 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 sys-
tem 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 re-
sponse as opening a door.
➤ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
➤ Any full trigger of the alarm system will immediately send an
alarm page to your remote informing you that your vehicle
should be checked.
multi-level security arming
➜
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the
security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will
be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See the Table
of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing
seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-
Level Security Arming feature. Each time is pressed again, a

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 (5-
flashes) tripped the alarm.
2. If a switch (Zone 1, 3, 5, or 6) triggered the system, the
remote will emit 4 quick beeps and the LCD screen will
indicate which switch (5-flashes) tripped the alarm.
3. If the system was triggered so many times that NPC is active
the remote will emit the above notifications with 5 beeps
instead of 4.

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 posi-
tion. Press the Valet button the
DRW-35
preset number of times (one to
five times) within 15 seconds. After five seconds the system will
disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long;
turn the ignition off and on and try again.

one-time bypass
➜
This feature (if programmed on) 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. After parking turn the ignition off.
2. Turn the ignition On for more than 1-second and less than
3-seconds and then turned Off.
3. The siren will chirp once to indicate one-time bypass has
been activated.
To cancel one-time bypass perform one of the following:
Arm then disarm the alarm.
Turn the ignition On for more than 3-seconds.
nuisance prevention® circuitry
➜
®
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
®
(NPC ). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to
© 2006 directed electronics
27
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.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures
that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.
®
Doors are covered by NPC differently; if the alarm is triggered
by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed
until the trigger ceases.
note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this
function. In order to reset a bypassed zone, the same zone
must not trigger for 60 minutes, or ignition is turned on.
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 dis-
®
arming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the
®
NPC memory, turn the ignition key on.
®
NPC is On/Off programmable. See your dealer and the
Programming section of this guide for more information.

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 micropro-
cessor 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.
arming diagnostics
➜
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then
one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass
Notification.
note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using
Silent Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when
the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds
later the system will monitor that input normally. For example,
if your vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm the
system before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass
Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors
are monitored normally.

35
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 (see NPC section of
this guide). The in-vehicle status LED will indicate which zone was
involved. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.) The system will
retain this information in its memory, and continue to chirp four
or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the igni-
tion key is turned on.

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.
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.
note: Your system stores the last six triggered zones in
memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED
has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can
still recall the last six zones that were triggered. Contact
your dealer for details.
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 secu-
rity 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. However, if the transmitter has been pressed many
times out of range of the vehicle, or if the battery has been
removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to
operate the system. To re-sync the remote control simply press
© 2006 directed electronics
38
of the transmitter several times within range of the vehicle.
The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the trans-
mitters normally.
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 transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenever a
specific transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings
assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition lets up to four
users of the system have different settings that meet their specific
needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle,
one for each user.
note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed with-
out a Directed Bitwriter® and the necessary software.
Check with your dealer for more information.
rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile

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.
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.
®
®
➤ Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet
Mode the in-vehicle LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle
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.

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. 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 con-
nected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger
the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system
are fully operational.

➤ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or : The purpose of
this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If
AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be dis-
abled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the
key is turned off, the in-vehicle LED will flash slowly (one-
half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming
cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be

➤ 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. Please refer to the Vehicle Recovery
System section of this guide for a complete explanation of
how the Vehicle Recovery System operates.
vehicle recovery system (vrs®)
®
The optional VRS feature is designed to ensure that any unautho-
rized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote control)
will not be able to permanently separate you from your vehicle.
®
The VRS cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; however, it does
ensure that if your vehicle is taken by an unauthorized user, it will
be disabled (after several progressive warnings) as safely as
®
possible. Should a carjacking occur, the VRS allows you to

Directed has engineered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill, and the VRS feature to provide the best combina-
tion 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 oper-
ation. It is unlike other systems that shut down your engine
while it is running. This system is designed to perform starter in-
®
terrupt, 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.
important! Any installation that allows this product to
shut down a vehicle's engine when it is running is con-
trary to the product’s design and intended usage, and
Directed hereby expressly disclaims any liability resulting
therefrom.
arming the vrs®
To arm the VRS , turn the ignition to the ON position and press
➜
®
the arm button on the remote transmitter for one second. The
parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp once. This can be
done before driving or while driving the vehicle. Once the system
is armed, it will initiate its triggered sequence (see below) if any
door is opened and closed. If you are forced from the vehicle, the
system will trigger as the door is opened and closed. This is how
the system works to combat intersection carjacking. To protect
®
against parking lot carjacking, arm the VRS before leaving the
vehicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time
you or anyone drives the vehicle. This helps to protect the vehicle

if someone takes your keys and remote transmitter by force in a
parking lot.
®
note: If the VRS system is armed while operating the vehi-
cle 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.
Forty-five seconds later, the siren begins chirping and the park-
ing lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify au-
thorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what
®
the VRS will do next.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will
change to a continuous blast.
®
From this point on, when the ignition key is turned off, the VRS
will immediately turn on the starter kill. This will prevent the
vehicle from being restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot.
Three minutes after the constant siren output begins, the flashing
parking lights and the siren will stop. The starter kill will remain
active until the system is disarmed. If the door is opened or the
ignition is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the car, the
siren and light flashing will begin again.

disarming the vrs®
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS triggering se-
quence 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. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press
on the transmitter for one second. The
lights will flash and the siren will chirp twice.
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-
DRW-35
programmed number of times to
®
disarm the VRS system.
®
note: If the VRS system has begun its chirping sequence,
the ignition must be turned off, then on to disarm. If you
are driving the vehicle at the time, pull to a safe place
away from traffic and follow the triggered sequence dis-
arm procedure.

programming options
See your dealer for further details on the options listed below
available with this system.
Automatic Engine Disable: Prevents the vehicle from being started
even if the vehicle is not armed after turning the ignition Off and
exiting the vehicle.
Comfort Closure: Windows will close upon locking the vehicle.
Dual Sensor Trigger: If programmed On both the onboard and at
least one of the optional sensors need to be triggered within 1-
second of each other for full alarm.
note: In dual sensor mode, the LCD remote will report
showing both zones that tripped the alarm. The in-vehicle
LED will flash to indicate only the last sensor of the pair
which tripped the alarm.
Forced Passive Arming: If passive arming is on and a door is left
open the system will be armed after 30-seconds.
High Security Disarm: If the system is triggered this feature allows
the user to silence the siren and reset the system to the armed
state without having to visually check the system status.
Multi-level Arming: Allows bypassing of user selected alarm zones
of the vehicle.
Grouped Arming: Allows bypassing of the group of alarm zones
for warn-away, or both warn-away and full alarm of the vehicle.

Panic with Ignition Off: Prevents the Panic button on the remotes from
activating panic with ignition On (not allowed in some states).
Parking Light Supervision: The parking lights will illuminate for
30-seconds after disarming the system or turning the ignition off.
Remote Start Reporting: This channel 3 program option allows
bypass of the security inputs that would trigger an alarm when
activating an added optional remote start system, but still retains
a high level of security.
Retained Accessory Power: This output from the security system
can be connected to vehicle accessories. After the ignition has
been turned off, it will continue to supply power until a door
has been open and closed.
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.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the
© 2006 directed electronics
50
alarm and keeps the starter kill active if main battery power is
disconnected.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is estab-
lished by installing the 508D "radar" sensor. Your security
system can then react to any intrusions into this field with the
triggered sequence.
Garage Door:
Remote control of your system can go beyond
your vehicle. You can also control your automatic garage door
using the 519H2 garage door opener with your remote control.
Ask you dealer for details. Additional parts and labor required.
®
Headlight and Parking Light Automation: The 545T Nite-Lite
will automatically turn on your parking and headlights when it
gets dark. In addition, the 545T will turn your headlights on
whenever the windshield wipers are used. A transmitter function
can also be used to turn on your parking and headlights for a
programmed time.
Power Trunk Release: The channel two output of the system can
operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.
(An additional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not
power activated, then Directed's 522T trunk release solenoid can
often be added.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is pro-
vided 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. It can protect your vehicle
from being lifted to protect your expensive rims.
Valet Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet
start system can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions,
and power your climate control system with a push of a button.
Over-rev protection, open-hood lockout, brake pedal shutoff,
and automatic timer shutoff are all included. (This feature is
only for automatic transmission, fuel-injected vehicles.)

glossary of terms
ASK Amplitude Shift Keying—a method of transmitting data.
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. The vehicle is never prevented
from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet mode, or
should the starter interrupt switch itself fail. Your system is ready
for this feature, however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be
provided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in
the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
In-vehicle status LED: A light mounted somewhere in the vehicle.
It is used to indicate the status of your system. It is also used to
report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
LCD: This is a Liquid Crystal Display used on your remote trans-
mitter to display your vehicles status/alarm information.
Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is
designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine
compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the

"chirps" you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the
alarm is triggered.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the
various functions of your system.
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 trans-
mitter 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. It consists of several seconds of siren
chirps and parking light flashes.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular
zone. Two or more inputs often share the same zone.
