important information
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
warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprinted dealer certif-
icate to verify authorization.

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.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
19
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.

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

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.

cating timer mode has been exited.
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.
40
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.

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
➤ Arming/disarming siren chirps
or off.

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.
enabled
➤ Panic mode
/disabled when the ignition is turned on.
(Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving
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.

30
➤ 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.
51
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the
alarm “goes off” or “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.
