transmitter functions This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with stan- dard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manu- al correspond to a standard configuration transmitter. standard configuration Button The arming, disarming, and panic function are controlled by this button.

If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice. The LED will begin to flash steadily. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to the system, the doors will lock.

© 2004 directed electronics, inc.

While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approxi- mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a mal- function autobypass. The security system also 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 sees you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming countdown. The siren will chirp twice and the lights will flash twice five seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows: z The LED will flash as a visible theft deterrent. z Light impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When triggered, the siren will sound for a few seconds. z Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30, 60, or 90 seconds of constant siren sounding and flashing parking lights. z If a protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) is opened, the sys- tem will immediately trigger the siren and flash the parking lights. note: If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

Digital dual zone radar sensor will protect the interior of the

vehicle and it’s contents with an invisible perimeter of pro- tection. disarming To disarm the system, press . You will hear a chirp and the park- ing lights will flash once. If the power locks are connected to the sys- tem, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps three times when disarm- ing, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. If the siren is active when the system is disarmed you will hear two chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the Remote Siren Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps. disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch. Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for instruc- tions to enter the pin code. remote siren silencing This system offers remote siren silencing. Remote siren silencing is a fea- ture that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and

the siren has been sounding, press on the transmitter to stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system will not dis- arm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the system should you wish to silence it without visually checking the vehicle. After resetting the system, press again to disarm the system. transmitter chirp muting To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the User- Selectable Features section of this guide. transmitter sensor disable To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press twice and then . The lights will flash four times and all warn away trigger zones one, three, and eight are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger zones one, three, and eight are bypassed until the system is disarmed. This can be performed anytime the system is armed. 1. Arm the system. 2. Press twice and then . 3. The lights will flash four times; all warn away zones are now bypassed. 4. Transmit the sensor bypass channel again.

5. The lights will flash four more times; the sensor warn away and full trigger zones are now bypassed. 6. The sensor zones will reset when disarmed. intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the Intellistart, it bypasses sensor zones and will continue to bypass these zones until the remote start shuts down. When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down operation, the unit will automatically bypass sensor zones one, two, three, and eight until the windows complete their operation. auxiliary channel bypass Alarm sensor input zones one, three, and eight will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary Output is active. panic mode with smart door locking If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press for two seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the park- ing lights will flash for the programmed duration. If the ignition is on, the doors will lock; if the ignition is off, the doors will unlock. To stop Panic Mode at any time press on the transmitter again.

disarm/valet mode Entering your pin code using the PlainView 2 Valet switch allows you to disarm the system or enter valet mode without using the transmit- ter. In valet mode, the security system will not arm, even with the trans- mitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally. To disarm or enter Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Enter PIN code (factory setting is 2). 3. After the last digit of the pin code is entered: a. To disarm the system: press and release . b. To enter valet mode: Press and hold for three seconds. The LED status indicator will light steadily if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Enter PIN code. 3. After the last digit press for one second. The LED will turn off.

transmitter valet mode

The operations described in this section refer to transmitter buttons. Remember, the buttons used in all the instructions in this guide corre- spond to a Standard Configuration transmitter. This may not be how your transmitter is set up. To enter Valet Mode, press twice and then . The LED status indicator will light solid if you are entering Valet Mode, or will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. one-time auto-arming bypass This will bypass the auto arm feature once only. 1. With the key, turn the ignition on, then off within two seconds. 2. The siren will chirp once to confirm auto arming bypass. 3. The system will not auto arm. During auto arming bypass the system will not roll up the windows if SmartWindows is connected, and the accessory output will not auto- activate when using the remote to arm the system. low battery warning When the transmitter battery is low, the system will generate a low- pitched tone when disarmed. note: The system will revert to normal auto arming when the system sees the ignition on for at least three seconds.

multiple event total recall This will report the last eight system triggers. 1. Press and hold of the PlainView 2 Valet switch. 2. While still holding , arm and disarm the system, then release the button. 3. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuous- ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter or the ignition is turned on. For more information, please refer to the Table of Zones section of this guide. false alarm control technology (FACT II) Your system offers FACT II, a feature that prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here’s how it works: The alarm triggers three times. If the same sensor is triggering the alarm and the first and the third triggers are within 60 minutes of each other, FACT II will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, FACT II ignores, or bypasses, that sensor (along with any other sensors 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 FACT II differently; if the alarm is triggered by an

open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trig- ger ceases. FACT II is programmable. See the Programming Options section of this guide. select siren sounds To customize siren sounds, please refer to the selectable siren sounds feature in the User Selectable Features grid. Once in programming mode, press on the transmitter to begin playback of the avail- able sounds. Press on the PlainView 2 Valet switch while playing the desired sound to add that sound; press while playing the desired sound to delete that sound. note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the igni- tion. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the FACT II pro- gramming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If you wish to clear the FACT II memory, turn the ignition key on.

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 dis- abling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. arming diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor trig- gering, etc.) the unit will chirp twice when arming and then four more times five seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification. The security system will ignore the input that was active when the sys- tem was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the sys- tem 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. disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The sys- tem will retain this information in its memory. Refer to the Multiple Event Total Recall section of this guide.

anti-code grabbing (ACG) This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each use a math- ematical formula called an algorithm to change their code 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. high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. smart power up II This security 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 bat- tery 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 and prevents the system from draining the battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions: z Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 48 hours, the LED will flash at half its nor- mal rate, decreasing the system's current draw. z 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 period of one hour while the system is in Valet Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off. programming 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. Following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in bold: z Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door is closed).

z Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off. z Auto-Lock on/off/rpm ON: The doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on unless a door is open. RPM: The doors will lock when the engine speed increases (available only with Intellistart 4). z Auto-Unlock on/off: With this feature on, the doors will unlock when the ignition is turned off. z Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door locking (only when arming with the transmitter). 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. z Panic mode enabled/disabled: Some states have laws against siren capability while driving. z Full trigger response 30, 60, or 90 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. z False Alarm Control Technology (FACT II) on or off: Please refer to the FACT II section of this guide for a complete explanation of how FACT II operates. If FACT II is pro- grammed off, the security system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely. z Siren tones and chirp volume: The output of the siren con- sists of six different tones in sequence and the arm/disarm chirp volume can be changed or eliminated. z Reset the system to all factory defaults note: Because many states have laws regulating security systems, pro- gramming FACT II off may cause your system to violate state laws.

Add or remove remote controls.

z Change PIN code. z Custom configure the remote control. z Remote valet on or off. z Autostart with low battery voltage or cold temperature. cliffnet wizard installation software programming Cliffnet Wizard provides access to all available system features and some that are not available when manually programming with the Valet switch.

adjusting the proximity sensor It is recommended that adjustments be performed away from fluores- cent lighting, large metal structures, or confined areas that can affect the sensor field. The alarm will exit adjustment mode automatically 60 seconds after the last adjustment signal from the transmitter and revert to its previous settings. NOTE: You MUST exit using the ARM/DISARM button after programming to lock in the new settings! The proximity sensor field takes one to two minutes to settle after entering adjustment mode, so begin adjusting the sensor within 45 seconds and adjust it slowly so it has time to settle. After two minutes you will have a consistent field during adjustment testing. Each zone has 32 settings that are indicated by chirps that raise and lower in fre- quency as adjustments are made. Total adjustment time for this sensor should be five minutes or less. Read the following instructions thoroughly for a full understanding of how to properly adjust this sensor. 1. Disarm system 2.

glossary of terms Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which mon- itors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions. 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. LED: Blue light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indi- cate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors. UltraSecure Immobilizer: A feature on the module which prevents the vehicle’s engine from operating whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from running when the system is disarmed, in Valet mode, or loss of power. PlainView 2 Valet Switch: A small two-button switch mounted some- where 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. Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine compart- ment 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 transmitter which operates the various func- tions 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.

Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts or movement close to the vehi-

cle will generate the Warning Zone response. It consists of a warning siren blast or beep. 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. security & convenience expansions Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options avail- able. Please contact your dealer for a complete list of all the options available to you. Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm and keeps the immobilization circuits active if main battery power is discon- nected. Power Trunk Release: The button can operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. (An optional relay may be re- quired.) If the factory release is not power activated, the Directed®'s 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added. Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the SmartWindows system. Remote Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the IntelliStart remote 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 automat- ic timer shutoff are all included.
