Using your system
➢ Active arming
You can arm the system by pressing
ESX.337
on your transmitter for one second.
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren 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.
Note: If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the status LED is
flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is
called Bypass Notification.
➢ 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 arm-
ing countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system
is armed. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate
that the system is about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash
to indicate that the system is armed.
Important: 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 programmed
on. See Programming Options section).
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-pro-
grammed period, which can range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
© 2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
7
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 transmitter 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 response as open-
•
ing 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 system’s inputs or
sensors will be active and which will be bypassed when the system is armed.
(See Table of Zones section of this guide.)
Pressing
ESX.337
again (in Standard Configuration only) within five seconds of arm-
ing the system will activate the Multi-Level Security feature. Each time
ESX.337
is
pressed a different security level is selected. The security levels are selected as
follows:
Press
•
ESX.337
once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
Press
•
ESX.337
a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps two times
followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed.
Press
•
ESX.337
a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps three times fol-
lowed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed.
Press
•
ESX.337
a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed
by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed.
Press
•
ESX.337
a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times fol-
lowed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now by-
passed.
Important: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a
single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then
re-armed, all the zones will be active again.

8
➢ Arming while driving
Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle.
Press
ESX.337
on the transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is running. The
siren will chirp once to indicate that the security system is armed, and then once
more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond to any input
except the door triggers, and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be acti-
vated. Once you have arrived at your destination, the system will disarm when
the ignition is turned off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will then stop
flashing. The system can also be disarmed at any time by pressing
ESX.337
.
➢ Disarming
To disarm the security system, press
ESX.337
. You will hear two chirps, and the
parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are controlled by the system,
the doors will also unlock. The siren chirping either four or five times when dis-
arming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics Section of
this guide.
➢ High security disarm
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a fea-
ture 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
ESX.337
on the remote transmitter 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
ESX.337
after resetting the system will disarm the system; pressing this but-
ton 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 transmitter
If your transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your vehicle
security system. To disarm the system without a transmitter, you must have the
vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet® switch 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® switch. The factory default setting is
1 press.
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON position.
Press and release 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 Presses_____________________________________
Important: The Valet button can be programmed to re-
spond to 1-5 presses for the disarm function. You must
check with the installer to verify the programming for your
individual unit
➢ Silent mode
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode™. Press
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/dis-
arm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you. The Warn
Away® response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using Si-
lent 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 trigger-
ing the system with your transmitter. Press
ESX.337
for two seconds, and you will
enter Panic Mode.
The siren sounds and the parking lights flash for the programmed siren duration.
To stop Panic Mode at any time, press
ESX.337
on the remote transmitter again.
➢ Valet mode
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and triggering
by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it
serviced. In Valet Mode, the security system will not arm, even with the remote
transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will
continue to work normally.
To enter or exit Valet Mode:
1.
Turn the ignition On, and then Off.
2.
Press and release the Valet button.
DRW-35
The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go out
if you are exiting Valet Mode.
To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter:
1.
Open any vehicle door.
2.
Press
ESX.337
, and then

Remote start
You can remotely start and run your vehicle for a programmable period of time.
This makes it possible to warm up the engine, and adjust the interior tempera
ture of the vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is
desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to
the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.
Never remote start your vehicle when the keys are
in the ignition, except when performing Valet Take-
Over - and Never start the vehicle if it is not in
PARK or NEUTRAL.
To remote start the vehicle:
Press
1.
on the transmitter for 1 second.
The parking lights flash to confirm that the vehicle is attempting to start.
2.
In gasoline vehicles, the engine starts 4 seconds after the parking lights
3.
flash. In diesel vehicles, the engine starts when the WAIT-TO-START indica-
tor on the vehicle’s dash goes out or the programmed delay has ended.
Once the vehicle has started, it runs for the pre-programmed period of time
4.
(either 12, 24, or 60 minutes - see Programming Options section of this
guide) or until a shutdown input is triggered.
It is unsafe to operate a vehicle’s motor in a garage
or other closed off area. Breathing the exhaust from
the vehicle is hazardous to your health. Never acti-
vate the remote start in an enclosed space

remote started.
If the remote start is on, the lights turn off then flash 3-times before returning
to normal output. The defogger activates as programmed.
If the temperature is greater than 55° F when remote start is activated, the
rear defogger does not activate for that start.
➢ Valet take-over
The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after the key
has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for occasions when
you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like to
leave the motor running and the climate controls on.
To perform Valet Take-Over:
Before turning off the engine, press and release
1.
for 1 second - or
press and release the optional momentary switch, then wait five seconds.
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. (The engine will stay running.)
2.

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 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 recom-
mended locations.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
➢ 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 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.
©2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
16
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 environ
mental 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 by
passed, 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.
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
ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the NPC program-
ming 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.

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.
➢ 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 indicate 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 monitor-
ing. 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 system 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 triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection® Circuitry
bypassed that zone.
In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table
of Zones section). The security system retains this information in its memory and
chirps four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time that the igni-
tion is turned on.

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.
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 transmitters use a mathematical 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. This helps to keep the transmitter “in sync” with the control
unit even if you use the remote control out of range of the vehicle. However, if
the remote has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or the bat-
tery has been removed, it may fall out of sync with the control unit and fail to
operate the system. To re-sync the remote press
ESX.337
several times within range of
the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters
normally.
Owner recognition
Owner Recognition is a revolutionary feature available only from Directed. Us-
ing a Directed Bitwriter® hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program
many of the system settings. It is possible to program different settings for each
transmitter used with the system. Then, whenever a specific transmitter is used,
the system recalls the settings assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition
lets up to four users of the system have different settings that meet their specific
needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each
user.
Important: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter® and
the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.

Rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power
is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory.
This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any
reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will
still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm,
disarm, and Valet Mode.
Power saver mode
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or in Valet
Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been performed. This
lowers the current draw on the vehicle’s battery. Power Saver Mode takes over
under the following conditions:
Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed
•
for 24 hours the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the sys-
tem’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 op-
tions 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
•
(transmitter only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30
seconds after the last door has been closed).
Arming/disarming siren
•
chirps on or off.
The ignition controlled door lock feature on or
•
off: When this feature is pro-
grammed on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned
on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. Ignition lock and unlock are
independent features that can be programmed separately.
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-sec-
ond countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been pro-
grammed.
Panic mode
•
enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on. (Some states
have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.)
Forced passive arming on
•
or off. If your security system is programmed
for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been pro-
grammed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a pro-
tected entry has been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the
system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leav-
ing the vehicle.
When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has
been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed
and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system
are fully operational.

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 triggered response can be programmed for any duration ranging from
1 to 180 seconds.
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 full volume or 6 decibels quieter than the
full alarm blast.

•
, 24, or 60 minute run time. your system can be programmed to allow
the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote started. Can be
set up to minute increments by your installer.
3, 6, 9, or
•
12 minute timer mode run time. Your system can be pro-
grammed to allow the vehicle to run for 3, 6, 9, or 12 minutes when
remote started in timer mode. Can be set up to minute increments by your
installer.
While the remote start system is running the engine, the parking lights of
•
the vehicle can flash on and off or come on and light steadily.
Comfort closure
•
Off is a programming option which closes the vehicle’s
windows after remote locking.

Security & convenience expansions
Listed below are expansion options available to you. 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.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is established by in-
stalling 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 operate a factory
power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. Although the on-board relay can
control most power trunk releases, 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 provided with
the 529T and 530T systems. Your windows will roll up automatically when the
system is armed, or up and down when needed.

Glossary of terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash
area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the microprocessor which monitors
your vehicle and controls all system functions.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sen-
sor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy
lights.
LED: A flashing 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 mounted in the vehicle.
It is designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions
of your system.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: When an alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The trig-
gered sequence of your system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights
flashing for the programmed duration.
Valet button: A small push button mounted at a discretionary location inside
the vehicle. It is used to override the starter interrupt when a transmitter is lost or
damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode.
Warn Away® Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warn-
ing 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.
