Congratulations on the purchase of your combination remote  
start alarm system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must  
be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this  
product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the

system maintenance  
The system requires no specific maintenance other than battery  
replacement for the remotes.  
LCD 2-Way Remote Battery Replacement  
The 2-way remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The  
Battery Level indicator has three level indicators that serve as a  
visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a  
low charge level that requires replacement, the transceiver will  
generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level indi-  
cator will flash continuously.  
To replace the battery, gently pull the battery cover release tab, then  
slide the door down to expose the battery and remove the expired  
battery. Place the new battery into the transceiver observing the  
correct polarity. When power is returned the transceiver will light  
all icons in the LCD and generate all beeper tones once.  
4-Button Remote Battery Replacement  
Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium  
battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year under  
normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range  
will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

LCD 2-way remote operation  
The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates  
Directed’s proprietary A.S.K. out-board two-way 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 transceiver as  
confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.  
When the transceiver receives a page it will generate a page notifi-  
cation to the user (notifications are audible beeps or the remote  
vibrates) and the LCD icons will display the current system status.

Command Page  
When a command (arm/disarm, remote start, or auxiliary  
channel) from the transceiver is sent and received, the system will  
send a command page back to confirm receipt.  
Page Recognition Mode  
The transceiver will leave a zone icon illuminated when it has  
received a triggered response and will wait for violation recogni-  
tion. Press any button on the transceiver, the LCD information  
and alarm page alerts will be cleared.  
note: The transceiver buttons will not send a command  
to the system until the alarm page is cleared.

active arming  
You can arm the system by pressing  
of your remote for one  
second. When the system arms, 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 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  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.  
22  
 
status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of  
this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification, which  
indicates that a security sensor or switch has been bypassed and  
the system is not monitoring that area (zone) of the vehicle.  
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 status LED will flash twice as fast as it does  
when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of the count-  
down, 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.  
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, each time a sensor 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.  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.  
23  
 
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 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.

Sensor Trigger  
- Heavy impacts to the vehicle will instantly  
sound the siren and flash the lights for the programmed  
duration and report Zone 2.  
Door Trigger  
- If a door is opened the siren will chirp for three  
seconds, then the siren will sound and the lights will flash for  
the programmed duration and report Zone 3. The three  
seconds allow the user time to disarm the system with a  
minimum of noise should a door be opened inadvertently  
while the system is armed.  
Hood Trigger  
- Opening the hood will sound the siren, flash  
the lights for the programmed duration, and report Zone 1.  
Trunk Trigger  
- Opening the trunk (if connected) will  
instantly sound the siren and flash the lights for the  
programmed duration and report Zone 4.  
Ignition Trigger  
- If the ignition is turned on the siren will  
chirp for three seconds, then the siren will sound and the lights  
will flash for the programmed duration and report Zone 5.  
When a Triggered Response is activated the transceiver will:  
Repeat four quick beeps (or vibrate) for 15 seconds.  
The full trigger alert icon (28) will turn on for 15 seconds.

The zone icons will turn on and remain on until a transceiver  
button is pressed, clearing the page alert.  
The transceiver will enter page recognition mode and  
generate alarm page alerts.  
note: Icons 13, 14, 16, and 20 represent alarm system  
triggered sequence zone inputs. For more information  
about icons and the zones they represent refer to the  
Standard Remote Configurations section.  
multi-level security arming  
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the  
system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be  
bypassed when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section  
of this guide.) Pressing  
again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the  
Multi-Level Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a  
(only in Standard Configuration)  
different security level is selected. The different security levels are  
selected as follows:  
Press  
Press  
once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.  
a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps  
twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed.  
Press  
a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps  
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed.  
Press  
a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps  
four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now  
bypassed.

Press  
a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps  
five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except  
the ignition, are now bypassed.  
note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin-  
gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then  
re-armed, all the zones will be active again.  
arming while driving  
Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle!  
Simply press  
on the remote 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. Once you have arrived at your destination, the  
system will disarm when the ignition is turned off. The siren will  
chirp twice and the LED will then stop flashing. The system can  
also be disarmed at any time by pressing  
.
The LCD 2-way remote will beep once (or vibrate), and the arm  
icon (29) will be displayed on the LCD.

high security disarm  
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security  
Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the  
system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the  
system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer  
than six seconds, pressing  
on the remote will stop the  
trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system will  
not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling  
the system should you wish to disarm it without visually  
checking the vehicle. Pressing  
after resetting the system will  
disarm the system; pressing this button during the first six

seconds of the triggered sequence will disarm the security system  
immediately. The six second timer is provided for your conve-  
nience, in case the system is accidentally triggered.  
disarming without a remote  
If your remote is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your  
vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a remote,  
you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the  
®
Valet button 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 button.  
To disarm the security system,  
turn the ignition to the ON posi-  
®
tion. Press the Valet button the  
preset number of times (one to  
DRW-35

silent mode  
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent  
Mode™. Simply press  
(or  
on the 4-button remote)  
for less than one second before arming or disarming, and the  
confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation  
only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently,  
your dealer can do this for you.  
®
note: The Warn Away response to lighter impacts is  
bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This  
ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an  
area you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable  
®
of triggering. Only the Warn Away response is bypassed.  
panic mode  
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract  
attention by triggering the system with your remote. Just press  
for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren  
will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed  
siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press  
the remote again.  
on  
note: Once panic mode has been entered, the siren will  
sound for the programmed duration.

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  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.  
37  
 
key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.  
disabling the remote start system  
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be  
temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote  
started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being  
serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote  
start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position. The  
switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check with  
your installer for recommended locations.  
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________  
over and under rev protection  
The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically  
shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the  
programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor  
due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may  
cause the engine to race.  
note: The system uses an input from the vehicle to sense  
engine speed. This wire must be connected in order for  
over and under rev protection to work.  
shut down inputs  
This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote  
start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain  
inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.  
38  
 
inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as  
well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake  
pedal will shut down the motor at any time during remote start  
operation, as well as preventing the remote start from activating  
while it is being pressed.  
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.  
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 security system while it  
is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over.  
This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will  
remain bypassed.  
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC differently. If your  
security system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles,  
the system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.  
39  
 
note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset  
this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are  
for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the igni-  
tion. 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 disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you  
wish to clear the NPC memory, turn the ignition on.  
24-hour timer mode  
To enter timer mode, press  
and  
simultaneously. The 2-  
way remote will produce a melody and the clock indicator will  
appear on the remote’s LCD. Once in Timer Mode, the system  
will remote start every 24 hours. Repeat this procedure to turn  
Timer Mode off.  
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 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  
sections of this guide for diagnostic information.  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.

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 indi-  
cate 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.  
For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you  
arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you  
may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns  
off, however, the security system resumes normal monitoring.  
note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the sys-  
tem is in Silent Mode or if the notification chirps have  
been programmed off by the installer.  
disarming diagnostics  
Extra chirps that are 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, a zone was trig-  
gered so many times that the Nuisance Protection Circuitry has  
bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate  
which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The secu-  
rity system will retain this information in its memory and chirp  
four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time  
that the ignition 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 LED.  
Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks  
by the LED.  
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.  
note: Your system stores the last two 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 two zones that were triggered. Contact  
your dealer for details.

code hopping  
The receiver and remotes use a mathematical formula called an  
algorithm to change their code each time the remote 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 remote “in sync” with the control unit  
even if you use the remote control out of range of the vehicle.  
However, if the remote has been pressed many times out of range  
of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may fall out of  
sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-  
sync the remote simply press  
several times within range of  
the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to  
the remote normally.  
high frequency  
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a  
cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal.  
Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range, even in areas with high radio  
interference.

owner recognition  
Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only  
from Directed. Using a Directed Bitwriter, hand-held program-  
ming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings.  
The programmer makes it possible to program different settings  
for each remote that is used with the system. Then, whenever a  
specific remote is used, the system will recall the settings assigned  
to that remote. 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 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  
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.

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 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.  
®
®
Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet  
Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used  
(ignition is not turned on) for a one hour period 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 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 (from remote only) or passive arming (auto-  
matic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed).

on  
The ignition controlled door lock feature or off: When this  
feature is programmed on, the doors will lock three seconds  
after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition  
is turned off. If your installer is programming the security  
system with the Directed Bitwriter, ignition lock and unlock  
are independent features that can be programmed separately.  
active door  
Passive door locking (with passive arming) or  
locking  
(only when arming with the remote). Passive locking  
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.

cars.)  
on  
Forced passive arming  
or off. If your security 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. Forced passive arming ensures that the  
system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar  
when leaving the vehicle.  
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.

Full trigger response 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.  
off  
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  
disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the  
key is turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its  
normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle.  
Thirty seconds later, the starter 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  
®
also disabled when the system is in Valet mode.

note: This feature will only function if the FailSafe  
Starter Kill relay has been installed.  
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. The chirps can be either  
6 decibels quieter  
full volume or  
than the full alarm blast.

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.  
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the  
alarm and keeps the starter interrupt active if main battery is dis-  
connected.  
Hood Lock: Prevents the vehicle’s hood from being opened  
without a key, keeping thieves away from the system’s siren, the  
battery connections, and other components under the hood.  
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is estab-  
lished by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can

react to any intrusions into this field with the full triggered  
sequence.  
Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control  
some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other  
systems, additional parts may be required.  
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can op-  
erate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.  
Although the on-board relay can control most power trunk re-  
leases, sometimes an optional relay is required. If the factory  
®
release is not power-activated, 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. These can operate  
power windows, and can roll them up automatically when the  
system is armed, roll them down, or both up and down.  
Mobile Video: This system is compatible with Directed Video’s  
MCB1000 Multi-Channel Controller, featuring on-screen secu-  
rity system programming and zone trigger information.

glossary of terms  
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-  
neath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the  
microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all  
system functions.  
Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by  
your system that 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  
if the starter interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature-  
ready circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may  
require additional labor.  
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.  
Shock Sensor: This system has a dual zone shock sensor. This  
sensor is mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up  
impacts to the vehicle or glass.  
LCD 2-Way Remote: A hand-held, transceiver which operates and  
monitors the various functions of your system.  
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.

Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the  
alarm “goes offor “trips.” The triggered sequence of your  
system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing  
for the programmed duration.  
®
Valet Button: A small push-button switch mounted at a discre-  
tionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the  
starter interrupt when a remote is lost or damaged, or to enter or  
®
exit Valet Mode.  
Warning Zone 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. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
