using your system
The buttons described in this manual correspond to the standard
configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your Remote
Control may be set up. It can be custom configured to meet your
needs.
active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing
on your
remote control for one second. When the system arms, you will
hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will
flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected
to the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approxi-
mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively
protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,
and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics
section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
passive arming
The 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 status LED will flash twice as
➜
➜
© 2006 directed electronics
fast as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp
once 20 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
the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp
provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
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 of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
© 2006 directed electronics
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤
Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away® signal. When
triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash
for a few seconds.
➤
Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and
flashing parking lights.
➤
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 remote control if you inadvertently open the
door while the system is armed, while still providing an
instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).
➤
Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response as opening a door.
➤
The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
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
again within five
seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-
Level Security Arming feature. Each time
is pressed again, a
different security level is selected. The different security levels
can be selected as follows:
➜
© 2006 directed electronics
➤
Press
one time: The parking lights flash once. The
system is armed.
➤
Press
a second time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash twice. Zone 2 is now bypassed.
➤
Press
a third time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash three times. Zone 4 is now bypassed.
➤
Press
a fourth time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash four times. Zone 7 is now bypassed.
➤
Press
a fifth time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash five times. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed.
➤
Press
a sixth time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash six times. Zones 2 and 7 are now bypassed.
➤
Press
a seventh time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash seven times. Zones 4 and 7 are now bypassed.
➤
Press
an eigth time within five seconds: The parking
lights flash eight times. All input zones, except zone 5, are
now bypassed.
➤
Continued pressing of
will begin the Multi-Level
Security Arming cycle over again.
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.
© 2006 directed electronics
disarming
To disarm the system, press
. You will hear two chirps, and
the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are
connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps
either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics
section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert.
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
or
on the remote remote
control 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 reset-
ting 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 convenience, in case the system is accidentally
triggered.
➜

disarming without a remote control
This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the
Remote Control should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to
disarm the system without a remote remote control, 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
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.
Location of Valet Button_________________________________
Number of Pulses______________________________________
important! The unit can be programmed to respond to
one to five pulses of the Valet button for the disarm func-
tion. Be sure to check with the installer for the desired
programming.

silent mode
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent
Mode™. Simply press
for less than one second before
arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim-
inated 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.

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 turn 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
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.

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.
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.
note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using
Silent Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
➜
© 2006 directed electronics
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 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 ignition key is
turned on.

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.
code hopping
The receiver and remote controls each use mathematical
formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the
remote control 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 control "in
sync" with the control unit even if you use the remote control out
of range of the vehicle. However, if the remote control 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
of the remote control several times within range
of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond
to the Remote Controls normally.
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.

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 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 Remote Control that is used with the system. Then, whenev-
er a specific remote control is used, the system will recall the
settings assigned to that remote control. 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
memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, the system will
recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in
Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such
as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will
still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system
including arm, disarm, VRS®, and Valet Mode.
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 oper-
ation 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 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 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.
© 2006 directed electronics
programming
Programming options control what your system does during
normal operation, and require few or no additional parts.
However, some may require additional installation labor.
The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory
settings in Bold:
➤
Active arming (only with the remote control) or passive arming
(automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door has been
closed).
➤
Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off.
➤
The ignition controlled door lock feature on or off: With
this feature on, the doors will lock three seconds after the
ignition is turned on, and the doors are closed, and unlock
when the ignition is turned off. The system will not lock the
doors when the ignition is turned on with any door open.
Ignition lock and unlock are independent features and can
be programmed separately. You can also do these indepen-
dently when programming manually.
➤
Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door
locking (only when arming with the remote control). 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.
© 2006 directed electronics
➤
Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some
states have laws against siren capability in a moving vehicle.
➤
Forced passive arming on or off: If your system is
programmed for passive arming and the forced passive
arming feature has been programmed on, the system will
passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has
been left open. This feature is useful if a door has been left
ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures
that the security system will be armed in every situation.
➤
Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off: 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 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 dis-
abled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the
system with the remote control. It is also possible to disarm
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.
note: When programmed for passive arming and active
lock, if the system is disarmed without a door being
opened, the system will relock the doors when it passive-
ly rearms.
© 2006 directed electronics
the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the RUN
position and pressing the Valet button the programmed
number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in
Valet Mode.
➤
Full trigger response 30 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 trig-
gered response can be programmed for any duration ranging
from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤
Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry on or off: Please refer to the
NPC® section of this manual for a complete explanation of
how NPC® operates. If NPC® is programmed off, the securi-
ty system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely.
➤
Progressive door trigger on or off: When the system is armed
and a door is opened, the system responds with ten chirps
prior to beginning the full triggered sequence. If an instant
trigger is desired, the progressive door trigger can be pro-
grammed off.
note: Because many states have laws regulating security
systems, programming NPC® off may cause your system
to violate state laws.
note: This feature will only function if the Failsafe®
Starter Kill relay has been installed.
© 2006 directed electronics
➤
Valet pulse count: The number of presses of the Valet button
required to disarm the security system, AED, or the VRS®
system can be programmed from one to five presses. The
default setting is one press.
➤
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 your dealer, result-
ing in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The siren
chirps can be either full volume or six decibels quieter than
the full alarm blast.
installation options
The system has many options that may require extra parts and
labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here.
➤
Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door
locks, the system can be configured so that when the system is
disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the
button unlocks the other doors.
➤
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.
© 2006 directed electronics
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
concern yourself with your personal safety without worrying
about your property.
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.
© 2006 directed electronics
arming the vrs®
To arm the VRS®, turn the ignition to the ON position and press
the arm button on the remote control 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 control by force in a
parking lot.
vrs® triggered sequence
Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the system’s status
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.
➜
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.
➜
© 2006 directed electronics
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 remote control 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 Remote Control will
not disarm VRS®. To disarm the VRS® during a VRS® trigger
sequence:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the Valet button the pre-
programmed number of times to
disarm the VRS® system.
programming options
See your dealer for further details on the options listed below
available with this system.

second of each other for full alarm.
Forced Passive Arming: If passive arming is on and a door is left
open the system will be armed after 1 hour.
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 Orange 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 the a door
have 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
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.
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 remote control func-
tion can also be used to turn on your parking and headlights for
a programmed time.
© 2006 directed electronics
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.
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
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.
LED: A light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to
indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-
gers and faults in the system or sensors.
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.
Remote control: Hand-held, remote control which operates the
various functions of your system.
© 2006 directed electronics
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.

Primary Harness Wiring Instructions
This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible applications
of each wire. This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security in mind. Many
of the wires have more than one possible function. Please read carefully to ensure a thorough under-
standing of this unit.
H1/1 RED/WHITE 200 mA output channel 2 (trunk release)
This output is often used for trunk release. Whenever the button(s) controlling channel two is
pressed for 1.5 seconds, this output is activated and will stay activated as long as the transmission
continues. Use an external relay to drive circuits requiring more current.

H1/2 RED (+)12V constant power input
Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or
the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.
NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15 A
fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
H1/3 BROWN (+) siren output
Connect this to the RED wire of the Revenger® siren. Connect the BLACK wire of the siren to (-)
chassis ground, preferably at the same point you connect the control module’s BLACK ground wire.
H1/4 YELLOW (+) ignition input
Connect this wire to the (+) 12 volts ignition wire. This wire must show (+) 12 volts with the key
in RUN position and during cranking. Take great care to ensure that this wire is not shorted to the
vehicle’s chassis at any point.
H1/5 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection
Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver kick panel) using a factory bolt
that DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used
when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are
not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the
same location.

H1/6 VIOLET (+) door trigger input
This type of dome circuit is used in many Ford products. Connect the VIOLET wire to a wire that
shows (+)12V when any door is opened. This wire will report Zone 3.
NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T
Bitwriter® can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.
H1/7 BLUE (-) instant trigger input
This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk
pins and will report on Zone 1. It can also be used with Directed single-stage sensors. The H1/7
BLUE instant trigger wire can also be used to shunt sensors during operation of auxiliary channels
or remote start. (See Bypassing Sensor Inputs section of this guide.)
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
H1/8 GREEN (-) door trigger input
Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire showing
ground when any door is opened. When connecting to newer model vehicles there is generally a
need to use individual door triggers. See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This
wire will report Zone 3.
NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T
Bitwriter® can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.
H1/9 BLACK/WHITE high current output from on-board domelight supervision relay
Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive
circuits up to 20 amperes. The polarity of this output is determined by the connection of the input
wire H2/A in the Relay Harness.
NOTE: If the input wire H2/A is not connected, there will be no output on this wire.
H1/10 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel 3 output
This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 3
is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of output (see System
Features Learn Routine section of this guide):
➤A validity output will send a signal as long as the transmission is received.
➤A latched output will send a signal continuously when the Channel 3 button(s) is pressed and
released. The signal will continue until channel three is pressed again.
➤A latched/reset with ignition output works similar to the latched output, but will also reset
(output will stop) when the ignition is turned on and then off.
➤A 30 (60, 90) second timed output will send a signal for 30 seconds when channel three is
pressed. This output can be shut off during the 30-second period by pressing Channel 3 again.
The BitwriterTM can program from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤Remote start output (refer to System Features Menu description for additional information).

H1/11 WHITE (+/-) 10 A parking light flash output
The H1/11 WHITE wire is factory configured for (+) parking lights. Refer to the Programming
Jumper section of this installation guide for changing configuration for (-) parking light.
NOTE: For parking light systems that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be switched to a
(-) light flash output (see the Programming Jumpers section of this guide). P/N 8617 or a standard
automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/11 light flash output wire.
H1/12 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output
This wire supplies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the
system is disarmed. It can supply up to 500 mA of current. This wire is affected by one time bypass,
if One Time Bypass is programmed On.
NOTE: A dual diode harness assembly is provided (Viper model only) for European
vehicles which have parking light capability for illumination of only the parking lights on
the side of the vehicle to the road when parked.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect this wire to a negative vehicle light flash wire before
changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or damage to
vehicle light circuit may occur.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!
This transistorized output can only supply 200 mA, and connecting directly to a
solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

This wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be. If the door pin circuit is negative,
connect to chassis ground. If the door circuit is positive, connect to a fused 12V source.
Power Door Lock Diagrams
H3/B – H3/G power door lock wires
The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door
lock systems drawing 30 amps or less.
Identifying the Door Lock Switch System
The easiest way to determine what type of door lock system you are working with is to remove the
master locking switch itself, which is usually on the driver’s door or on the center console. Once you
have determined which type of factory door lock circuit you are working with and the color codes
of the switch wires to be used, you can usually simplify the installation by locating the same wires
in the vehicle’s kick panel.
NOTE: The wires should be re-tested at this point to be sure they work the same at the
kick panel. If no central locking switch is found, the installation may require a door lock
actuator.
There are eight different types of common door lock circuits (some vehicles use more unusual
systems):
Type A - Three wire (+) 12 volt pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Type B - Three wire (-) ground pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Type C - Directly-wired (no factory relays) reversing-polarity switches.
Type D - Aftermarket actuator-driven systems. These include slave systems without an actuator
in the driver’s door but with factory actuators in all the other doors, since these can be controlled
with the installation of an aftermarket actuator.
Type E - Electronically-activated vacuum systems (post-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi). This
requires special programming of the system.
IMPORTANT! The H3/A wire is not required for wiring the door locks. Depending on
the type of door lock system, there may be additional wires in the Door Lock Harness
(H3) that are not required used in wiring the door locks.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
NOTE: This is only possible with systems with selectable duration lock pulses (three second
minimum required).
Type F - This is a one wire system. Ground pulse to unlock and break open to lock.
Type G - This is a one wire positive multiplex system. Sending a (+) 12 volt signal through resistors
will activate lock and unlock.
Type H - This is a one wire negative multiplex system. Sending a negative signal through
resistors will activate lock and unlock.
Door Lock Systems Information
This is a general information guide; For more detailed instructions on wiring vehicles door lock
systems, including information on multiplex systems, refer to the Door Lock Wiring Guide
(Document #1041) available to authorized dealers at www.directechs.com or through the DirectFax
system.
Wiring Diagram A, (+) 12 Volt Pulses Driving Factory Relays
© 2006 Directed Electronics
11
Wiring Diagram B, (-) Ground Pulses Driving Factory Relays
Wiring Diagram C, Directly-Wired Reversinng-Polarity Switch Circuits
Use these instructions if the power door lock switch has four or five heavy-gauge wires. This type of
switch has two outputs that rest at (-) ground.
One of the wires from the switch is a constant (+) 12 volt power source. The VIOLET/BLACK wire
of the door lock module can be connected to this for constant (+) 12 volt, if desired.
In all cases, the BROWN/BLACK and WHITE/BLACK inputs to the module must be connected
to the switch side of the lock and unlock wires. The switch side is the side that still rests at ground
after the wire is cut. If both sides seem to rest at ground after you have only cut one of the switch
leads, cut the other switch lead and re-rest.
IMPORTANT! If these are not connected properly you will send (+) 12 volts directly to (-)
ground, possibly damaging the module or the factory switch.
NOTE: Most direct-wired power lock systems require 20-30 amps of current to operate. Connecting
the VIOLET/BLACK wire to a poor source of voltage will keep the door locks from operating
properly.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Wiring Diagram D, Aftermarket Actuators
Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This
requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one
actuator installed in the driver’s door, if all door locks are operated when the driver’s lock is used.
© 2006 Directed Electronics
13
Wiring Diagram E, Mercedes-Benz and Audi
In Mercedes-Benz and Audi vehicles manufactured in 1985 and later, the door locks are controlled
by an electrically activated vacuum pump. This can be controlled by certain security systems if the
following wiring scheme is followed and the system is programmed for Mercedes/Audi lock pulse
lengths.
IMPORTANT! Remember that the VIOLET jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87
unlock terminal must be cut.
The wire to be cut and interrupted in these cars will test to be resting at (-) ground when the doors
are locked, and rest at (+) 12 volt when the doors are unlocked.
This wire can be found in either kick panel in the Mercedes-Benz. It is BLUE in the driver’s kick
panel and GREEN in the passenger kick panel. In Audis, the driver’s side wire is often
GREEN/BLUE or GREEN/RED.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Wiring Diagram F, One-Wire System - Cut to Lock, Ground to Unlock
This system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock and a cut wire to lock the door. (These are
reversed in some vehicles.) It is found in the late-model Nissan Sentra, some Nissan 240SX, and
Nissan 300ZX, 1992 and later. It is also found in some Mazda MPVs.
IMPORTANT! Remember that the VIOLET jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the
#87 unlock terminal must be cut.

Wiring Diagram G, (+) Positive Multiplex
To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the
factory door lock system. For testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.
IMPORTANT! To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or
leads during testing.
1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a
reliable constant (+)12V source. Some good constant (+)12V references are the power input
source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition switch power wire, or the (+) terminal
of the battery.
3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values.
If the multimeter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that
direction.
4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring.

during testing.
1.
Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2.
Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a
reliable ground source. Some good ground references are the ground input source to the door
lock switch/key cylinder or battery ground.

Peripheral Plug-In Harnesses
Super Bright LED, 2-Pin WHITE Plug
The super bright LED plugs into the two-pin WHITE port. Make sure the LED wires are not
shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged. Two LEDs can be used, but they must be wired in
series. The LED fits into a 9/32-inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling
the mounting hole.
NOTE: Never use a BLUE LED in combination with a RED LED.
Valet/Program Button, 2-Pin BLUE Plug
The Valet/Program button should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the BLUE port
on the side of the unit. Since the system features a Valet button, by using the remote transmitter, this
button can be well hidden. Consider how the button will be used before choosing a mounting
location. Check for rear clearance before drilling a 9/32-inch hole and mounting the button.The
GRAY wire in the two-pin plug may also be used as a (+) ghost switch input and can be connected
to any (+) switch in the vehicle. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.)
Programmer Interface, 3-Pin BLACK Plug
© 2006 Directed Electronics
19
The BLACK three-pin port is provided for programming of the unit. When using the 998T
Bitwriter®, it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions. For more
information please refer to the guide packaged with the programmer. Please refer to Page i for version
number required for this system.
Mounting the Receiver/Antenna
Receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle’s owner prior to installation, since
the antenna may be visible to the vehicle’s operator.
The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on either the front or rear windshield.
For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in
relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished.
Metallic window tint can also affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining the
mounting location.
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:
1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the receiver/antenna.
3. Mount the receiver/antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.
4. Route the receiver/antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the four-pin antenna
connector.
IMPORTANT! To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable
bundled under the dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation,
regardless of the antenna mounting location.

Optional Sensors, 4-Pin White Plug
There are two optional sensor input ports. Optional sensors which can be used are field, tilt, ultra-
sonic, or glass breakage. Alarm trigger inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warn Away®
response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds will trigger full alarm sequence and report Zone 4
or Zone 7 for multiplex input.
NOTE: The ground for the optional sensors is now controlled by the GWA.

Programming Jumper
Light Flash Jumper
This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is
enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/11. In the (-) position, the
WHITE wire, H1/11, will supply a 10 A (-) output suitable for driving factory negative parking
light relays.
NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be switched to a (-)
light flash output. P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/11 light
flash output harness wire.
Bypassing Sensor Inputs
There are times when you need to temporarily bypass all sensor inputs to the unit, such as when
activating the windows or remote starting the vehicle. Anytime an auxiliary channel output is used,
sensor inputs are bypassed until 5-seconds after the output ceases. Anytime from the start of the
output until the end of the bypass period, ground can be supplied to the H1/7 BLUE wire without
triggering the unit. When the bypass period ends, if the unit sees ground on the H1/7 BLUE wire,
zones 1, 2, 4, and 7 remain bypassed until five seconds after ground is removed from the BLUE
IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect the H1/11 light flash wire to a negative vehicle light
flash wire before changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or
damage to vehicle light circuit may occur.

wire. This can be done using the status output of a Directed Electronics remote engine starting unit
as shown in the following diagram:
System Features Learn Routine
The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. Due to the number of steps,
they have been broken up into three menus. It is possible to access and change any of the feature
settings using the Valet/Program button. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using
the 998T Bitwriter®. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to a particular trans-
mitter, up to four, a feature called Owner Recognition. Each time that particular transmitter is used
to disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only
possible when programming the unit via the 998T Bitwriter®.
If the system was previously programmed using the 998T Bitwriter®, the learn routine may be
locked. If the siren generates one long chirp when attempting to program the unit, the learn routine
is locked and must be unlocked using the 998T Bitwriter®.
1. Open a door. (The H1/8 GREEN wire or the H1/6 VIOLET wire must be
connected.)
2. Ignition. Turn the ignition on, then back off: (The H1/4 YELLOW wire must
be connected.)
3. Select a Menu. Press and HOLD the Valet/Program button: (The
Valet/Program button must be plugged into the blue port.) After three seconds
the siren will chirp once indicating entry to the Basic Features Menu #1. If this
is the menu you wish to access, release the button and go on to Step 4. If the
button is not released, you will jump to the Advanced Features Menu #2 and

the siren will chirp twice. If the button is still not released, you will jump to
Advanced Features Menu #3 and the siren will chirp three times. Once you
have selected the desired menu, release the Valet/Program button and then
proceed to Step 4.
4. Select a Feature. Press and release the Valet/Program button the number of
times corresponding to the feature you wish to change. For example, to access
the second feature, press and release the button two times. Then press the
button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the number of times
equal to the step you have accessed.
5.
Program the Feature. While HOLDING the Valet/Program button, you can
toggle the feature on and off using the remote transmitter. For the second feature,
pressing
will select the chirps ON setting and the siren will chirp 1 time.
Pressing
will change the programming to the chirps OFF setting and the
siren will chirp twice. (See System Features Menus section of this guide.)
NOTE: For features with more than 2 settings pressing
will toggle through
all the two-chirp settings and emit the corresponding number of chirps.
6. Release the Valet/Program Button.
Once a feature is programmed:
➤Other features can be programmed within the same menu.
➤Another menu can be selected.
➤The learn routine can be exited if programming is complete.
To access another feature in the same menu:
1. Press and release the Valet/Program button the number of times necessary to advance from the
feature you just programmed to the next one you want to program.
2. Then press the Valet/Program button once more and HOLD it.
For example, if you just programmed the third feature in the menu and you would like to program
the seventh feature in the menu, you would press and release the Valet/Program button four times
and then press it once more and HOLD it. The siren would chirp seven times to confirm access to
the seventh feature.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
To select another menu:
1. Press and HOLD the Valet/Program button.
2. After three seconds, the unit will advance to the next menu and the siren will chirp, indicating
which menu has been accessed.
For instance, if you just programmed some features in Menu #1 (Basic Features) and you wish to
program a feature in Menu #2, you press and HOLD the Valet/Program button. After 3-seconds,
the siren chirps twice indicating access to Menu #2. To advance to Menu #3, continue to HOLD
the Valet/Program button an additional 3-seconds until the siren chirps three times indicating access
to Menu #3.
To exit the learn routine do one of the following:
➤Close the open door.
➤Turn the ignition on.
➤No activity for longer than 15 seconds.
➤Press the Valet/Program button too many times.

Feature Descriptions
The features of the system are described below. Features that have additional settings that can be
selected only when programming with the 998T Bitwriter® are indicated by the following
icon:
Menu #1 - Basic Features
1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when
the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the
last door is closed. To alert the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the
door is closed. This provides the consumer with an audible indication prior to the system actually
arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm but the siren will not chirp. This feature will
be affected by one time bypass if programmed on.
1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of
the system.
1-3 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock
three seconds after the ignition is turned on, if the doors are closed.
1-4 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR UNLOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will
unlock when the ignition is turned off.
1-5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in menu item 1-1, then the system can
be programmed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the
system is armed via the transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it
passively arms. Passive locking means that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.
NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last
door is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door
has been closed.
1-6 PANIC WITH IGNITION ON: This step controls whether or not the Panic Mode is available
with the ignition on. In some states, there are laws prohibiting a siren from sounding in a moving
vehicle. This feature makes the system compliant with these regulations.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
1-7 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and
Audi, require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system
to provide 3.5 second pulses, will accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default
setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses. For some vehicles a 0.4 second pulse duration is required, this
durations is required for some vehicles to prevent the windows from moving.
1-8 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in
menu item 1-1. When turned on, forced passive arming will ensure that the system will passively
arm, even if a zone is left open or invalid. Forced passive arming occurs one hour after the ignition
is turned off.
1-9 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF: AED is a full-time, passive starter disable
that works independently of the security system. When turned on, the starter immobilizer circuit
will go active 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The LED will flash at half its normal rate
when the ignition is turned off to indicate that AED is active and will interrupt the starter in 30
seconds. AED does not occur in Valet mode and can be bypassed using the emergency override
procedure. The transmitter can also be used to disarm AED. This feature will be affected by one
time bypass if programmed on.
1-10 VEHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM: If Vehicle Recovery System (VRS®) is programmed to the ON
setting, VRS® can be activated by the user. Refer to the Owner’s Guide for additional description.
1-11 CODE-HOPPING™ ON/OFF: The system uses a mathematical formula to change its code
each time the transmitter and receiver communicate. This makes the group of bits or “word” from
the transmitter very long. The longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit.
Disabling the Code-Hopping™ feature lets the receiver ignore the Code-Hopping™ part of the
transmitted word. As a result, the unit may have better range with Code-Hopping™ off.
Menu #2 - Advanced Features
2-1 MULTI-LEVEL ARMING: The system can be programmed to bypass selected zones or groups
of zones when armed or to have multi-level arming off. The parking light flashes provide the
indication for the zones or groups selected to be bypassed.
NOTE: When Dual Sensor is On, Multi-Level Arming is defeated (feature 2-13).
Progressive Multi-Level Arming
After arming, immediately press the ARM
button again to enter multi-level arming.

Grouped Multi-Level Arming
After arming, immediately press the
button once. The parking lights will flash 3 times and all
the sensor warn-away zones will be bypassed.
After arming, immediately press the
button twice. The parking lights will flash 4 times and all
the sensor warn-away and full alarm zones will be bypassed. All remaining zones are still active.
Multi-Level Off
No zones are bypassed. Pressing arm
again will repeat the arm output, and the unit will remain
in the armed state.
2-2 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS: It is possible to program the unit to sound for 30 or 60
seconds during the triggered sequence. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system
can sound. When using the 998T Bitwriter®, the siren can be programmed to sound for any length of
time ranging from 1 to 180 seconds. Using the SELECT button of the 998T Bitwriter® will adjust the
siren duration in one second increments.
2-3 NUISANCE PREVENTION® CIRCUITRY (NPC®) ON/OFF: NPC® stops repeated triggering
of the same zone. If one zone is triggered three times in one hour, that zone is bypassed for one hour,
starting from the time of the third trigger. During that hour, if the system detects a trigger on that
zone again, the system resets the one hour timer. If one hour passes and the zone has not triggered
again, the zone is activated and can trigger the system again. NPC® monitors sensor inputs and the
door trigger, but does not bypass the ignition trigger at any time. If NPC® is turned off, the system
will respond to repeated triggers on the sensor inputs and will do so indefinitely. Some states have
laws regulating how many times a security system can trigger before it is considered a nuisance and
the vehicle is towed away.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
2-4 PROGRESSIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON/OFF: The system responds to a door trigger input with
a progressive response. When the door is opened with the system armed, the siren will chirp 10
times prior to the full triggered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant trigger and
closing the door quickly will not prevent a full triggered sequence from occurring. If the progressive
door trigger is programmed off, the full siren output will occur when the door is opened.
2-5 VALET PULSE COUNT ONE TO FIVE PULSES: The system can be programmed to count
the number presses of the valet button before disarming the security system or VRS®. The factory
default setting is one pulse. The unit can be set for two to five pulses using the two-chirp setting to
select the pulse count.
Ghost Switch Option: For added security, the GRAY wire on the two-pin Valet/Program can be
connected to any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary pulse.
2-6 BYPASS NOTIFICATION ON/OFF: When programmed On, zone 3 input to the system
during arming will generate a bypass notification chirp, if active. When programmed OFF, no
bypass notification chirps will be generated if zone 3 is active during arming.
2-7 ENHANCED DOMELIGHT CONTROL: This feature has four possible settings: Full, Door
Controlled, Ignition Controlled, and None. The optional domelight supervision feature
must be installed.These function as follows:
FULL: The system incorporates both Door Controlled and Ignition Controlled features
(described below).
DOOR CONTROLLED: If turned on, a 30-second timer will start after the door has
been opened and then closed. If the door trigger (door open) remains active for longer
than 180-seconds, the timer will not activate for this cycle. If the ignition is activated, the
timer will stop.
IGNITION CONTROLLED: If turned on, the system will turn on the domelight for
30 seconds when the ignition is turned off.
NONE: The system will provide dome light output as a pulsed full trigger output
and for 30-seconds after the system is disarmed.
2-8 DOUBLE/SINGLE PULSE UNLOCK: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to
unlock the doors. When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE/BLACK H2/F
wire will supply two pulses instead of a single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with
double pulse vehicles without any extra parts.
© 2006 Directed Electronics
31
2-9 DOUBLE/SINGLE PULSE LOCK: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to lock
the doors. When the double pulse lock feature is turned on, the GREEN/BLACK H2/C wire will
supply two pulses instead of a single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with double
pulse vehicles without any extra parts.
2-10 COMFORT CLOSURE: The system can be programmed to close the windows when the
system is armed. A 20-second output starts 200mS after the last lock
pulse. The Comfort
Closure output will be canceled if the unlock
button is pressed. If programmed, the lock output
wire will provide this function.
NOTE: Comfort Closure is deleted if one-time bypass is activated.
2-11 IMMOBILIZER NORMALLY CLOSED/NORMALLY OPEN: When programmed to the
Normally closed position, the car can be started if power to the alarm is removed for service.
2-12 HOOD TRIGGER NORMALLY CLOSED/NORMALLY OPEN: To program the unit for
either a normally closed or normally open pin switch.
2-13 DUAL SENSOR TRIGGER ON/OFF: When programmed On any two sensors (zones 2, 4, 7)
need to be triggered within 1-second of each other to trigger the alarm/siren. When programmed
Off each sensor will trigger the alarm/siren independently.
NOTE: When On Multi-Level Arming is defeated.
2-14 HIGH SECURITY DISARM ON/OFF: When programmed On the system will silence the
siren on the first press of the unlock button and disarm/unlock on the second press of the unlock
button. When programmed Off (or within 5-seconds of alarm triggering when programmed On)
the system will disarm and unlock on the first press of the unlock button.
2-15 ONE TIME BYPASS ON/OFF: When programmed On the unit will not passively arm for one
cycle when turning the ignition on and off within 3 seconds.

2nd unlock activates after the 1st unlock. When Immediate is ON the 2nd unlock occurs at the same
time as the 1st unlock.
Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine
The system comes with two transmitters (two 1-way remotes on the non 2 way pieces) that have
been taught to it. The system can store up to four different transmitter codes in memory. Use the
following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired.
If the system was previously programmed using the 998T Bitwriter®, the learn routine may be locked.
If the siren generates one long chirp when attempting to program the unit, the learn routine is locked
and must be unlocked using the 998T Bitwriter® before proceeding.
1.
Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/5, or the VIOLET, H1/6 must be
connected.)
2.
Turn the ignition on. (The YELLOW wire, H1/9 must be connected.)
3. Select the receiver channel: Press and release the Valet/Program button the
number of times necessary to access the desired channel.
NOTE: If adding a remote, a button must be taught to the unit in the Channel 1 or Channel 4 position
prior to programming other channels.
© 2006 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Press and hold the Valet/Program button once more. The siren will chirp and the LED will blink
the number of times corresponding to the channel that is accessed.
4.
Press the transmitter button: While holding the Valet/Program button, press
the button from the transmitter that you wish to assign to the selected channel.
The unit will chirp indicating successful programming. It is not possible to
teach a transmitter button to the system more than once.
Channel #11: If any button from a known transmitter is programmed to Channel 11, all trans-
mitters will be erased from memory and the system features will revert to the default settings. This
is useful in cases where one of the customer's transmitters is lost or stolen. This will erase any lost
or stolen transmitters from the system's memory. It can also be used to start from scratch if the
transmitter buttons were programmed incorrectly.
5.
Release. Once the code is learned, the Valet/Program button can be released.
To exit the learn routine:
One long chirp indicates that Learn Routine has been exited. Learn Routine will be exited if any of

Long Term Event History
The system stores the last six full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees
a full trigger, the oldest of the six triggers in memory will be replaced by the new trigger. To access
long term event history:
1.
With the ignition off, press and HOLD the Valet/Program button.
2.
Turn on the ignition.
3. Release the Valet/Program button.
4. Press and release the Valet/Program button within five seconds. The LED will
flash in groups indicating the last six zones that triggered the unit. The LED
will flash for one minute or until the ignition is turned off.
NOTE: The Warning Zone triggers are not stored to memory and will not be reported.
Multi-Level Security Arming
Multi-Level Security arming allows the operator to select which inputs and sensors are active during
a particular arming cycle. For a full description of Multi-Level Security Arming operation for testing
purposes refer to the Owner's Guide.
Optional Vehicle Recovery System (VRS®)
VRS® is an optional feature designed to disable a vehicle during a carjacking event. It must be
programmed in the features menu and the Failsafe Starter Kill must be installed for it to work
properly. For operational instructions when testing VRS® refer to the Owner's Guide.
© 2006 Directed Electronics
Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry
Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry bypasses any zone that triggers the system more than three times
within a one-hour period. For a full description of NPC® operations refer to the Owner's Guide.
Rapid Resume Logic
Rapid Resume Logic ensures that when the system is powered up it will return to the same state it
was in when power is disconnected. For a full description of Rapid Resume Logic refer to the
Owner's Guide.
Troubleshooting
Starter kill doesn’t work.
➤
Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is
completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. Is the NC/NO
programmed correctly?
➤
YELLOW wire is not connected to true ignition. It is connected to an accessory circuit.
Sensors don’t trigger the alarm.
➤
Has the NPC® system been triggered? If so, you will hear five chirps when disarming. To check
this, turn the ignition key on and off to clear the NPC® from memory, and then retest the
sensors. For a detailed description of NPC®, see Owner’s Guide.
Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, I hear chirps for the first three seconds.
➤
That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is the instant response feature of
this system. Even if the door is closed immediately, the system provides an instant trigger by
chirping, and then progressing to a constant siren.
IMPORTANT: When testing the systems sensor and trigger inputs reset NPC® by
turning on the ignition after every third system trigger.
© 2006 Directed Electronics
41
Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not.
➤
Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the
wrong door input has been used.
System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed.
➤
Are the door inputs connected? Is a blue H1/7 wire connected to the door trigger wire in the
vehicle? Either the green H1/5 or the violet H1/6 should be used instead.
Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm.
➤
What zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the
trigger, the sensor may be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating
the sensor can often solve this problem. If the LED indicates that the door caused the trigger,
you may have programmed the progressive door trigger off. (See Feature 2-4 in the Feature
Descriptions section of this guide.)
The Valet button doesn’t work.
➤
Is it plugged into the correct socket? Check the System Features Learn Routine for the
programmed Valet pulse count.
Status LED doesn’t work.
➤
Make sure that it is plugged in. (See Plug-In Harnesses section of this guide.) Is the LED
plugged into the correct socket?
