ssyysstteemm mmaaiinntteennaanncceeThis system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote
control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V
AAA battery.
The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as
a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a
low charge level that requires replacement, the remote control
will generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level
indicator will flash continuously.
Battery Replacement
Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the
remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and
remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote
control observing the correct polarity. When power is returned
the remote control will light all icons in the LCD and generate all
beeper tones once.

active armingYou can arm the system by pressing of your transmitter for
one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren
sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the
power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also
lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash
approximately once per second, indicating that the system is
actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after
arming and note that the status LED is flashing in groups, see the
Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass
Notification.
passive armingThe system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it
will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off
and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and
closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive
arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does
when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of the count-
down, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to
arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate
that the system is armed.
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or aswitch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system willnot passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-grammed on. See Programming Options section).

22 © 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away® signal. When trig-
gered, the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few
seconds.
➤ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence
consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking
lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can range
in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤ 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 re-
sponse (even if the door is immediately closed).
➤ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive re-
sponse as opening a door.
➤ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
23© 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
multi-level security armingMulti-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 (only in Standard Configuration) again
within five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-
Level Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a different
security level is selected. The different security levels are selected
as follows:
➤ Press once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
➤ Press a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps
twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed.
➤ Press a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed.
➤ Press a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now
bypassed.
➤ Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except
the ignition, are now bypassed.
note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin-gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and thenre-armed, all the zones will be active again.

arming while drivingYour security system can be armed while driving the vehicle!
Simply press 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
activated. Once you have arrived at your destination, the system
will disarm when the ignition is turned off. The siren will chirp
twice and the LED will then stop flashing. The system can also
be disarmed at any time by pressing ..
disarmingTo disarm the security system, press . 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 disarming indicates
Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics Section of
this guide.
high security disarmThis security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security
Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the
system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the
system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer
than six seconds, pressing on the remote 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 visu-
ally checking the vehicle. Pressing after resetting the system
will disarm the system; pressing this button during the first six
seconds of the triggered sequence will disarm the security system
immediately. The six second timer is provided for your conve-
nience, in case the system is accidentally triggered.
disarming without a transmitterIf your remote 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 button is located. Be sure to check
with your installer at the time of installation for both the location
and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet button.
To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON posi-
tion. Press the Valet button the
preset number of times (one to
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.

starter anti-grind circuitryWhenever 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.
note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remotestart system is operating the motor and the Failsafe®Starter Kill relay is installed.

34 © 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
disabling the remote start systemThis feature allows your system's remote start unit to be
temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote
started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being
serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote
start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position.
The switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check
with your installer for recommended locations.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
over and under rev protectionThe system monitors the engine speed and will automatically
shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the
programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor
due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may
cause the engine to race.
note: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle tosense engine speed. This wire must be connected in orderfor over and under rev protection to work.

35© 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
shut down inputsThis 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.
nuisance prevention circuitryYour system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry
(NPC). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to
faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as
thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and
each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will
interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger,
NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any
other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it
is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over.
This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will
remain bypassed.
➜
➜
36 © 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC differently. If your secu-
rity system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the
system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.
ddiiaaggnnoossttiiccssThe 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 diagnosticsIf 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
➜
note: Arming and disarming the system does not resetthis function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone arefor it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the igni-tion. If testing your system, it is important to rememberthat the NPC programming can cause zones to bebypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps areheard when disarming, NPC has been engaged. If youwish to clear the NPC memory, turn the ignition on.
37© 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
after that input ceases, the security system will resume normal
monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light
exit delay and you arm your security system before the interior
light turns off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp.
Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes
normal monitoring.
disarming diagnosticsExtra 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™
has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indi-
cate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The
security system will retain this information in its memory and
chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next
time that the ignition is turned on.
➜
note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the sys-tem is in Silent Mode or if the notification chirps havebeen programmed off by the installer.

Example
If zone 3 was active or triggered, the LED will blink three times

and repeat until the ignition is turned on.
ccooddee hhooppppiinnggThe 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 secu-
rity 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 battery has been removed, it may fall
out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system.
To re-sync the remote simply press several times within
range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and
respond to the transmitters normally.
note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones inmemory. If your system has been triggered but the LEDhas been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer canstill recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contactyour dealer for details.

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.
ppoowweerr ssaavveerr mmooddee 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 on the
vehicle's battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the
following conditions:
➤ Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has
been armed for 24 hours the LED will flash at half its
normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
➤ Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet
Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used
(ignition is not turned on) for a one hour period while the
system is in Valet Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system
remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on the next
time the ignition is turned on and then back off.

Page mode (On/Off)Press to toggle Page mode on and off. When Page Mode is
on, the remote control will wake up periodically to check for
messages from the security module. It will also wake up when
any button on the remote is pushed. When Page Mode is off, the
remote control “sleeps” until a button on the remote is pushed,
extending the life of the battery.
pprrooggrraammmmiinngg ooppttiioonnssProgramming options control your system's normal, operational
set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some
may require installation labor.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the
factory settings in Bold.
➤ AAccttiivvee arming (transmitter only) or passive arming (auto-
matic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed).
➤ Arming/disarming siren chirps oonn or off.
➤ The ignition controlled door lock feature oonn or off: When
this feature is programmed on, the doors will lock three
seconds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the
ignition is turned off. If your installer is programming the
security system with the Directed Bitwriter, ignition lock

and unlock are independent features that can be
programmed separately.
➤ Passive door locking (with passive arming) or aaccttiivvee ddoooorr
lloocckkiinngg (only when arming with the transmitter). Passive
locking allows the vehicle's doors to lock when the security
system passively arms (after the 30-second countdown). This
feature only works if passive arming has been programmed.
➤ Panic mode eennaabblleedd/disabled when the ignition is turned on.
(Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.)
➤ Forced passive arming oonn or off. If your security system is
programmed for passive arming and the forced passive
arming feature has been programmed on, the system will
passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has
been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the system
will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when
leaving the vehicle.
➤ Full trigger response 3300 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
note: When the system passively arms after one hour, theentry point that has been left open, and anything con-nected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot triggerthe system. However, the remaining inputs to the systemare fully operational.

from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or ooffff. The purpose of
this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If
AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be
disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the
key is turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its
normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle.
Thirty seconds later, the starter will be disabled. To start the
car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the trans-
mitter. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by
turning the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing
the Valet button the programmed number of times. AED is
also disabled when the system is in Valet mode.
➤ 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 66 ddeecciibbeellss qquuiieetteerr than the full alarm blast.
➤ 12, 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
note: This feature will only function if the FailSafe®
Starter Kill relay has been installed.
47© 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
be programmed to allow the vehicle to run for 3, 6, 9, or 12
minutes when remote started in timer mode. Can be set up
to 16 minutes 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 is a programming option which closes the
vehicle’s windows after remote locking.
sseeccuurriittyy && ccoonnvveenniieennccee eexxppaannssiioonnssListed below are some of the many expansion options available.
Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the
options available to you.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking
glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio
sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them
with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has
been struck.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers
the alarm and keeps the starter interrupt active if main
battery is disconnected.
48 © 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
Hood Lock: Prevents the vehicle’s hood from being opened
without a key, keeping thieves away from the system’s siren, the
battery connections, and other components under the hood.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is estab-
lished by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can react
to any intrusions into this field with the full triggered sequence.
Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control
some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other
systems, additional parts may be required.
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can op-
erate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.
Although the on-board relay can control most power trunk re-
leases, sometimes an optional relay is required. If the factory
release is not power-activated, Directed®'s 522T trunk release
solenoid can often be added.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is pro-
vided with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate
power windows, and can roll them up automatically when the
system is armed, roll them down, or both up and down.
Mobile Video: This system is compatible with Directed Video’s
MCB1000 Multi-Channel Controller, featuring on-screen secu-
rity system programming and zone trigger information.
49© 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
gglloossssaarryy ooff tteerrmmssControl Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the
microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all
system functions.
Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by
your system that prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented
from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if
the starter interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature-
ready circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may
require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be
provided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the
vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
Shock Sensor: This system has a dual zone shock sensor. This
sensor is mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up impacts
to the vehicle or glass.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the
various functions of your system.
50 © 2006 d i rected e lectronics—al l r ights reserved
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the
alarm “goes off ” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your
system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing
for the programmed duration.
Valet Button: A small push-button switch mounted at a discre-
tionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the
starter interrupt when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to
enter or exit Valet Mode.
Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will
generate the Warning Zone response. It consists of several
seconds of siren chirps and parking light flashes.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular
zone. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.

warning! safety firstThe following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
■ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized
Directed Electronics dealer.
■ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control
transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation. The fol-
lowing precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Directed Electronics dealers
should make the following recommendations to all users of this system:
1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).
2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote
start system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch.
3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote
control transmitters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
4. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT
TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PAR-
TIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED.
■ Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage,
personal injury, or death. Except when performing the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide, (1)
Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user will be responsible for having the neutral safety feature of the vehicle period-
ically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be
performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this
product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult
with the user to fix the problem immediately.
© 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved 5
■ After the remote start module has been installed, test the remote start module in accordance with the Safety
Check outlined in this installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown
Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed
or properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an
authorized Directed Electronics dealer. OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS
IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY
CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE.
DIRECTED ELECTRONICS, INC. WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REIN-
STALLATION COSTS.
installation points to rememberIMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.
■ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start
system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multi-
plexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic probes
(computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making connections.
■ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid
disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their
warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can
require a trip to the dealer.
■ Check with the customer on status LED location.
■ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
■ Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.
■ When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC). NPC can
bypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working. See the Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry section.
■ Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the vehicle reassembly.

deciding on component locationsSome things to remember about mounting the siren:
■ Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields.
■ Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its
wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.
■ We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the
red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices.
After all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your
wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.
■ When possible, place the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will
reach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a
grommet, never through bare metal!
■ Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.
Some things to remember about where to mount the control module:
■ Never put the control module in the engine compartment!
■ The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter and
ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.
■ When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the har-
nesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and
any obvious leaks.
■ Some good control module locations are: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-
dash fuse box, or above the radio.

The 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 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 rela-
tion 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.
3. Mount the antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.
4. Route the antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the antenna connector.
IMPORTANT! To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled underthe dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation, regardless of the antenna mount-ing location.
Some things to remember about where to mount the shock sensor:
■ Never put the Stinger® in the engine compartment!
■ Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the
heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
How the Stinger® is mounted is the most important factor in its performance. We recommend two methods:
■ Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct,
or
■ Wire-tying to a wire harness.
If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape (such as
Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.
NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result inpoor sensitivity, especially at the rear of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located andhow to disarm the system with it.
Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well
hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot acci-
dentally hit it. The switch fits into a 9/32-inch hole.
This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter and exit Valet® Mode without having to reach the
Valet/Program switch. This feature was introduced so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As
long as the Valet/Program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.
Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:
■ It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
■ It needs at least 1/2-inch clearance to the rear.
■ It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a 9/32-inch hole.
■ Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers
remove the panel without cutting the wires.

If optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,
they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory
wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,
routing the optional starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.
The relay satellite wiring carries large amounts of current. The wires should not be extended and should be cut
to the minimum length necessary. Since the relay satellite is functioning as the ignition switch in the vehicle,
it is often convenient to mount the relay satellite close to the main ignition switch harness.
finding the wires you needNow that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that
the security system will be connected to.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to find thesewires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing.
We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to
the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse also will be powering
other circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, etc., fuse
accordingly.
IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module hasits own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main powerfeed.

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers
the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).
Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.
How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering
column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find
this wire.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads
(+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.
5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a
few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,
you have found an ignition wire.
The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling the starter. In some vehicles, it is
necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not
control the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the
vehicle is cold.
How to find the starter wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering
column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not
need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding
your optional starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car
is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.
5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.
6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not
turn over, you have the right wire.

An accessory wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show +12V during
the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory
wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and
the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.
To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will
show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual
coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system
can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the
ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.
IMPORTANT! Do not test tachometer wires using a test light or logic probe (computer safe test light)!This will damage the vehicle.
How to find a tachometer wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.
In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash-
board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out
the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard.
It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.
To test and determine the polarity of this wire:
1. Set your multimeter to DCV or DC voltage (12 or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+)12V.
3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the correct wire and the wire's polar-
ity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).
6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the correct
wire and the wire's polarity is positive.

The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal
lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail-
able in the kick panel or running board.
NOTE: Many Toyotas, as well as many other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to arelay. The relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs. Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+) parkinglight wire near the switch, simply test the wires at any switch or control panel which is lit by theinstrument panel lighting. Remember, you need a (+) parking light wire that does not vary withthe dimmer setting.
How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light
switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.
4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes back
to zero.
5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the
brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer,
look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.
The best places to find the door switch wire are:
■ At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors. Often,
the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.
■ At the dome light: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it
will work in many Hondas, or any vehicle with completely diode-isolated pin switches.

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at
the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome-
light itself is often the best solution.
How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. In most Fords, fasten the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. In most other cars, fasten the (+) probe
of your meter to (+)12V constant.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door
is opened, you have found a trigger wire.
NOTE: Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer GM vehicles lack standard-typepin switches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted. Theseusually have a blue/white or white wire coming out of the door into the kick panel which willprovide a (-) trigger for all doors. Some GM vehicles (some Cavaliers, Grand Ams, etc.) have a yellowwire coming out of the door which provides a (+) door trigger.
making your wiring connectionsBefore making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the red
12V constant input and the orange ground-when-armed output (for the optional starter kill relay) will often be
routed together to the ignition switch harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find, you
may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal them in tubing similar to what the manu-
facturer used.
There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection - solder connections and crimp connectors. When
properly performed, either type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether you solder your
connections or you use mechanical-type crimp-on connections, ensure that all connections are mechanically
sound and that they are insulated.
Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insulator. It often falls off in hot weather.
Use good-quality electrical tape or heat shrink.
■ Never twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering.
■ Never use “fuse taps”, as they can damage fuse box terminals.
If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in
higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.). Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality and
should be avoided.

primary harness (H1) wire connection guide
When the system receives the code controlling Channel 2, for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire will
supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or
other relay-driven function.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transis-torized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or otherhigh-current device will cause it to fail.
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 15A fusein the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
Connect this to the red wire of the siren. Connect the black wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground, preferably at
the same point you connected the control module’s black ground wire. See Features Description section for horn
output.

Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw.
(Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the
siren, to the same point in the vehicle.
This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a
wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. This wire will report Zone 3.
Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warn Away response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds will
trigger the full alarm sequence. If installing an optional Directed Electronics dual stage sensor, connect both the
blue and the green wires of the optional sensor to this input. This wire will report Zone 4.

Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any
door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected
by the delay circuitry. This wire will report Zone 3.
Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below:
IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to thedomelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs.
This input comes from the factory set to 2 activation pulses. This means that it is necessary to have 2 consecu-
tive ground pulses on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The same holds true
for the remote control activation when set to a two pulse setting it is necessary to press the button twice
for the remote start to activate or deactivate.
NOTE: When the activation pulse count can be programmed to 1, 2, or 3 pulses when changed itwill affect both activation inputs; the White/Blue wire and the remote control activation.

As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper under
the sliding door is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide), this
wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is suitable for driving (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some
Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and other model cars.

This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start is activated or the doors are unlocked. This can be
used to pulse the disarm wire of the vehicle's factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to
the disarm wire as shown in the following diagrams.

relay satellite wire connection guideThe 8 heavy gauge wires coming from the large connector are used to energize high current circuits in the
vehicle. It is crucial that these connections are well-made and capable of handling the current demands. For this
reason, Scotch-Locks, T-taps and other such connectors are strongly discouraged.
Connect this wire to the starter wire in the vehicle. (See Finding the Wires You Need section.)
For anti grind or starter kill attach this wire to the key side of the starter wire for anti grind and for the starter
kill to be active.
Remove the two 30-amp fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has
been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay satel-
lite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+)12V to the key
switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.
NOTE: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one REDwire of the satellite to each feed at the switch.

Connect this wire to the provided toggle (override) switch as shown in figure A. Connect the other wire from the
toggle switch to the PARK/NEUTRAL switch in the vehicle. This wire will test with ground with the gear selector
either in PARK or NEUTRAL. This will prevent the vehicle from accidentally being started while in a drive gear.
This input MUST rest at ground in order for the remote start system to operate. Connected properly the vehicle
will only start while in PARK or NEUTRAL.
In some vehicles, the PARK/NEUTRAL position switch activates a factory starter lock out that will not allow the
starter to operate in a drive gear. In these vehicles, connect this wire to the toggle switch as shown in figure B.
Connect the other wire from the toggle switch to chassis ground.
IMPORTANT! Always perform the Safety Check section of this installation guide to verify that thevehicle cannot be started in ANY drive gear and that the override switch is functioning properly.

This input provides the module with information about the engine's revolutions per minute (RPMs). It can be
connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicles with conventional coils. In multi-coil and high energy igni-
tion systems locating a proper signal may be more difficult. (See Finding the Wires You Need section of this guide.)
Once connected, you must teach the system the tach signal. (See the Internal Programming Jumpers section of
this guide.)
This wire MUST be connected to the vehicle's brake light wire. This is the wire that shows (+) 12V when the brake
pedal is depressed. The remote start will be disabled or shut down any time the brake pedal is depressed. This
wire will also trigger the security system if the brake pedal is pressed while the system is armed and will report
Zone 1.
This wire MUST be connected to hood pinswitch. This input will disable or shut down the remote start when the hood
is opened. It will also trigger the security system if the hood is opened while the system is armed and report Zone 1.
This wire supplies a 200mA output as soon as the module begins the remote start process. The H3/1 BLUE wire
can also be used to activate the defogger trigger (latched/pulsed) 10-seconds after the remote start engages.

neutral safety switch interfaceSome vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that
physically interrupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is inter-
faced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine the
column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In these vehicles,
it is impossible to interface the remote start system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle,
if the car is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is activated, the vehicle will move and may cause
damage to persons or property.
According to available information, the only vehicles currently manufactured this way are most General Motors
trucks, sport utility vehicles and column shifting passenger cars. Available information also indicates that pre-
1996 Dodge Dakota pickups with 2.5 liter motors are manufactured this way as well.
GM vehicles that have the neutral safety switch built into the column shifter can usually be identified by a purple
starter wire. Typically, vehicles that use an outboard mechanical switch use a yellow wire from the ignition switch

to the mechanical switch and a purple wire from the mechanical switch to the starter itself. Remember, this is
only a rule of thumb and is not intended as a substitute for proper testing.
We suggest the following procedure to test for vehicles manufactured in this way.
NOTE: You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the following test.Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connecting to the brakeas a shut-down.
1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.
2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.
3. Set the emergency brake.
4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the shifter.
5. Place the car in drive (D).
6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the
starter engages.
7. Activate the remote start system.
8. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to shut the remote start system down. If the starter
does not engage, no additional safety system is required.
If the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to the follow-
ing text and diagrams for an alternative shut-down method which will prevent the starter from engaging. If the
vehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge Dakota pickup, please call Directed Electronics Technical
Support for an alternative shut-down method. Do not return the vehicle to the customer until this feature is prop-
erly installed!
Every vehicle built in this fashion requires that the shifter be placed in park to remove the keys from the igni-
tion. As a result, it is possible to use the key-in-ignition sense switch to prevent remote starting if the keys are
in the ignition. The following diagrams illustrate how to accomplish this. The first diagram applies to all General
Motors vehicles at the present time. The second diagram applies to all pre-1996 Dodge Dakota pickup trucks with
2.5 liter motors. This solution has one side effect - if the customer inserts the key in the ignition with the driver's
door open, the remote start system will shut down. If this interface is used it is important to inform the cus-
tomer to close the driver’s door before inserting the key into the ignition when the remote start is active. This
will allow the customer to turn the key on and shut the remote start down by pressing the brake without the key
sense wire shutting down the unit prematurely.
In addition, you must connect a tan (+) shut-down input to the yellow wire on the relay satellite ribbon cable.
This prevents the remote start system from activating if the key is left in the "run" position. If your remote start
system only has one tan input, you must use diodes to isolate the ignition circuit from the brake switch input.
testing the neutral safety switch
28 © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
However, due to future manufacturer changes in vehicles, it is possible that this may not apply to all vehicles.
In addition, color variations are possible from model to model; make sure to test the circuit carefully. Please call

IMPORTANT! Once the interface is complete, attempt to remote start the vehicle with the door closedand the key in the ignition. The vehicle should not start. If it does, recheck the connections.

bypassing GM vehicle anti-theft systems (VATS)Vehicles with the GM VATS (Pass Key) systems have a resistor embedded in the ignition key. If the VATS decoder
module does not measure the proper resistance when the vehicle is started, the starter and fuel pump may be
disabled for up to ten minutes. An optional "VATS pack" of resistors is available (p/n 652T). One of the resistors in
the pack will match the resistor in the key.
The VATS wires will be two very light-gauge wires coming out of the steering column. The colors of the wires vary,
but they are often contained in orange tubing - either both will be white wires, or one wire will be purple/white
and the other white/black. Determine the value of the resistor in the key. Then follow the diagram below to
bypass VATS during remote start operation. If the BLUE status output from the relay satellite has been pro-
grammed for factory security re-arm, then use the (H3/5) BLUE/WHITE 2nd status output from the control module
to control the relay.
NOTE: When connecting to the VATS wires, it is not important which wire is cut.

1995 and newer vehicle anti-theft systems(immobilizers)1995 and newer vehicle anti-theft systems (immobilizers) require a bypass module. The bypass module allows for
easy interfacing, while still maintaining the OEM system’s integrity.
The Passlock I and Passlock II systems can be found in the following General Motors vehicles:
■ ‘95 and newer Cavalier and Sunfire
■ ‘96 and newer Achieva, Grand Am, and Skylark
■ ‘97 and newer Intrigue, Malibu, and Cutlass
■ ‘98 and newer trucks, vans, SUVs
■ ‘99 and newer Alero
■ 2000 and newer Impala and Saturn
Passlock I and II systems are VATS-evolved. Passlock systems still rely on the R-code to start, but the pellet is
no longer placed in the key. The resistor can now be found in the key switch. This allows for a greater number
of possible R-codes. In addition, Passlock systems require “seeing” the correct R-code at the correct time. To
bypass Passlock I and II, p/n 555L or p/n 555T is required.
The Passkey III system can be found in the following vehicles:
■ ‘97 and newer Park Avenue
■ ‘98 and newer Cadillac
■ ‘99 and newer U vans, Transport, Montana, and Silhouette
■ 2000 and newer Grand Prix, Lesabre, Monte Carlo, Lumina, Bonneville
■ 2001 and newer Aurora, Aztek and Rendezvous
Other transponder-based systems include: Acura, BMW, Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, Ford, Honda, Infinity, Mazda,
Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagon, and Volvo.
PK-3 and the transponder-based systems use a transponder system that locks out the ignition and fuel system.
This transponder system is comprised of two parts. The first part, the transceiver, circles the key switch and is
activated when the key is placed in the key switch or turned to the run position. Upon activation, the trans-
passkey III (PK-3), transponder-based systems

ceiver will excite the transponder, which is located (but not visible) in the head of the ignition key. The key
transponder will then send a unique code back to the transceiver for evaluation. If the code matches a valid code
of the system, the vehicle will be allowed to start. Most of these transponder-based systems can be bypassed
using p/n 555U. Some may require additional parts from the vehicle manufacturer. Consult you dealer for the
applications. For most Ford PATS transponders, p/n 555F can be used, except for the following vehicles, which
will require p/n 555U: ‘97 and newer Mark VII, and 2000 and newer Taurus/Sable, Contour/Mystique and Focus.
plug-in LED and valet/program switchThese plug into the module. The Status LED plugs into the small two-pin socket, while the Valet/Program Switch
should be plugged into the larger blue two-pin connector. The Status LED fits into a 9/32-inch hole.
Status LED Valet/Program Switch
programmer interface, 3-pin black plugThe black 3-pin port is provided for personal computer programming of the unit. The unit can also be programmed
using the Bitwriter® (p/n 998T). When using the optional PC Interface module, or hand-held programmer, it is
possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions as well as lock the Transmitter/Receiver and
System Features Learn Routines so that unauthorized users cannot change the configuration or program trans-
mitters to the unit.
When the learn routines have previously been programmed using an optional hand-held system programmer
(p/n 998T) or PC Interface module, they may have been locked. Before proceeding with reprogramming
the learn routines, they must be unlocked with either the 998T or the PC Interface module - this cannot be done
manually with the Valet switch.

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 Two. If installing an optional Directed Electronics dual stage sensor,
connect to the green wire as shown below. The diagram below eliminates the need for diodes to isolate the sensors.
Diagram for adding optional Directed Electronics dual stage sensor to green wire (Zone 2):
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 will also report Zone Two.
Do not use these for anything besides the plug-in shock sensor.
tach learningTo learn the tach signal:
1. Start the vehicle with the key.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch.

programming jumpers
In most cases, this jumper can be left in the OFF position. Some new vehicles use less than 12 volts in their
ignition systems. The unit may have trouble learning the tach signal in these vehicles. Changing the jumper to
the ON setting changes the trigger threshold of the digital tach circuit so it will work properly with these vehi-
cles. These vehicles include many newer Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouths, such as the Neon Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze and
LH-based cars.
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 on-board relay is disabled. The
WHITE wire, H1/2, will supply a 200 mA (-) output suitable for driving factory parking light relays.K

NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal jumper must be switchedto a (-) light flash output. P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on theH1/11 light flash output harness wire.
transmitter/receiver learn routine™
The system comes with one transmitter that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4 dif-
ferent transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to
change button assignments if desired.
The learn routine may be locked if previously programmed using the Bitwriter®. If the horn generates one long
honk when attempting to program the unit, the learn routine is locked and must be unlocked using the Bitwriter®
before proceeding.
The Valet/Program switch, plugged into the blue port, is used for programming. There is a basic sequence of steps
to remember whenever programming this unit: Door, Key, Choose, Transmit and Release.
1. Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIOLET, H1/6 must be connected.)
2. Key. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
3. Choose. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Program switch the number of times cor-
responding to the desired channel listed below. Once you have selected the channel, press
the switch once more and HOLD it. The LED will flash and the horn will honk (if connected)
to confirm the selected channel. Do not release the Program switch.
© 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved 35
4. Transmit. While HOLDING the Valet/Program switch, press the button on the transmitter
that you would like to control the selected receiver channel. The unit will chirp to confirm
that the code has been successfully programmed. It is not possible to teach a transmitter
button to the system more than once.
5. Release. Once the code is learned, the Valet/Program switch can be released.
You can advance from programming one channel to another by releasing the Valet/Program switch and tapping
it to advance channels and then HOLDING it. For instance: You have programmed Channel 1 and you want to
program Channel 2. Release the Valet/Program switch. Press it one time and release it to advance from Channel
1 to Channel 2. Now, press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch. The LED will flash two times and the horn will
honk twice (if connected). As before, do not release it.
If you want to program Channel 3 after programming Channel 1, release the Valet/Program switch, press it twice
and release it to advance to Channel 3. Then press it once more and HOLD it. The horn will honk three times (if
connected) and the LED will flash three times to confirm it is ready to receive the code from the transmitter.

multi-level security armingMulti-Level Security Arming is a feature that allows the user 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.)
Multi-Level Security Arming can only be accessed from a standard configuration transmitter. Pressing the arm
button of the standard configuration transmitter again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the
Multi-Level Security feature. Each time the arm button is pressed again, a different security level is selected. The
different levels of security are selected as follows:
■ Pressing one time: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
■ Pressing a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone
Two is now bypassed.
■ Pressing a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone
Four is now bypassed.
■ Pressing a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp.
Zones Two and Four are now bypassed.
■ Pressing a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All
input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed.

system features learn routineThe System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of
the feature settings using the Valet/program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the
Bitwriter®. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to one of up to four transmitters. This feature
is 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
Bitwriter®.
If programming with the Bitwriter®, the learn routine can be locked or unlocked. If the learn routine has
previously been locked, it must be unlocked before proceeding with reprogramming the learn routine. This
must be done by using either Bitwriter® - this cannot be done manually with the Valet switch. If the learn routine
is locked, features cannot be changed.
To enter the System Features Learn Routine™:
1. Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIOLET, H1/6 must be connected.)
2. Ignition. Turn the ignition on, then back off. (The heavy gauge PINK wire of the relay
satellite must be connected.)
3. Select a Menu. Press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch. (The Valet/Program switch must
be plugged into the blue port.) After three seconds the siren will chirp once indicating
entry to the Basic Features Menu. 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 next menu and the
siren will chirp twice. There are three possible menus. Once you have selected the desired
menu, release the Valet/Program switch.
4. Select a Feature. Press and release the Valet/Program switch the number of times corre-
sponding to the feature you wish to change. For example, to access the third feature, press
and release 3 times. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the
number of times equal to the feature you have accessed.
© 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved 41
5. Program the Feature. While holding the Valet/Program switch, you can toggle the feature
on and off using the remote transmitter. Pressing the button that arms the system will
select the one chirp or default setting. Pressing the button that disarms the system (or the
Channel Two button when in the single button arm/disarm configuration) will select the
two chirp setting.
Note: Some features have more than two possible settings. Pressing will select the one chirp
setting, pressing will toggle through the two-chirp and higher settings.)
6. Release. Release the Valet/Program switch.
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 switch 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 switch 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 switch four times and then press it once
more and HOLD it. The siren would chirp seven times to confirm access to the seventh feature.
To select another menu:
1. Press and hold the Valet/Program switch.
2. After three seconds, the unit will advance to the next menu and the siren will chirp, indicating which menu
has been accessed.
For example, if you just programmed some features in the first menu and you want to program a feature in the
third menu, press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch. After three seconds, the siren chirps twice indicating
access to the second menu. Continue to HOLD the button and three seconds later the siren will chirp three times
indicating access to the third menu. Features in the third menu are then programmable following steps 4 through
6 of the System Features Learn Routine procedure.
42 © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
To exit the learn routine:
The learn routine will be exited if any of the following occurs:
1. Close the open door.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. There is no activity for longer than 15 seconds.
4. The Valet/Program switch is pressed too many times.

feature descriptionsThe features of the system are described below. Features that have additional settings that can be selected only
when programming with the Bitwriter® are indicated by the following icon:
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 con-
sumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm,
but the siren will not chirp.
1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the system.
1-3 IGNITION LOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on
and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
1-4 IGNITION UNLOCK ON/OFF: When ON this feature will unlock the doors when the ignition is turned off.
1-5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 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 dooris closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door hasbeen closed.
1-6 PANIC WITH IGNITION ON: This feature controls whether or not the panic mode is available with the igni-
tion ON. In some states, there are laws prohibiting a siren sounding in a moving vehicle. This feature makes the
system compliant with these regulations.
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. Some
modification to the door lock harness (H2) is also necessary. (Refer to TechTip 1041 for wiring information
regarding (+/-) Door Lock Outputs Harness (H4)section, Type E - Mercedes-Benz and Audi -1985 and Newer"
diagram.) The 0.4 second pulse is required on some of the newer Chrysler and Ford vehicles.
menu #1 - basic features
46 © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
1-8 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in Feature 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 inde-
pendently of the security system. When turned on, the orange, ground-when-armed output (H1/1) will activate
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 be used to disarm AED,
however, the system must be armed and then disarmed, using the transmitter, to disarm AED.
1-10 ARMED WHILE DRIVING (AWD) ON/OFF: In the default setting (Armed While Driving), the system can be
armed with the ignition on. When armed, the ground-when-armed is not active and the sensors are bypassed.
The door triggers will remain active.
1-11 CODE HOPPING® ON/OFF: The system uses a mathematical formula to change its code each time the trans-
mitter 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.
1-12 HORN OUTPUT PULSED/CONSTANT: Program for either a pulsed output or a continuous output when trig-
gered.
1-13 HORN FUNCTION (FULL ALARM ONLY)/SIREN FUNCTION (20mS, 30mS, 40mS, 50mS): Program for output
when the alarm is fully triggered or as the siren (arming/disarming and warnaway and full trigger with timing
options).
1-14 COMFORT CLOSURE—ON, OFF: 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 ON, the lock output wire provides this function.
2-1 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 Bitwriter®, the siren can be programmed to sound for any length of time from 1 second to 180
seconds.
menu #2 - advanced features
© 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved 47
2-2 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 sees 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 only monitors sensor inputs, and does not bypass the door trigger or 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.
2-3 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 trig-
gered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant trigger and closing the door quickly will not prevent
full triggered sequence from occurring. If the progressive door trigger is programmed off, the full siren output
will occur the moment the door is opened.
2-4 VALET DISARM PULSE COUNT 1 TO 5 PULSES: The system can be programmed to count the number of presses
of the valet switch before disarming the security system. The factory default setting is one pulse. The unit can
also be set for two to five pulses.
Ghost Switch option: For added security, the GRAY wire on the two-pin Valet/Program plug can be connected to
any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary pulse.
2-5 DOOR SENSOR BYPASS CHIRP ON/OFF: This feature controls the error chirp that is generated if the system
is armed with the door trigger active. This is useful in vehicles that have a long dome light delay after the door
has been closed. If the system is armed before the dome light has turned off, the security system will generate
the door trigger error chirp. If this error chirp is not desired, use this feature to disable the door open error chirp.
If the bypass chirp is turned off, no bypass chirp will be generated, even if a door is accidentally left open.
2-6 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION ON/OFF: If turned on, the system will turn on the dome
light for 60 seconds when the ignition is turned off. The optional dome light supervision feature must be installed
as described in the Wire Connection Guide.
2-7 UNLOCK OUTPUT—1, 2 PULSES: This will program the unlock output to one or two pulses. When the double
pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE door lock harness wire will supply two negative pulses instead of a
single pulse. At the same time, the GREEN door lock harness wire will supply two positive pulses instead of a
single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with double pulse vehicles without any extra parts for
unlock and lock outputs (see below).
2-8 LOCK OUTPUT—1, 2 PULSES: This will program the lock output to one or two pulses. When the double pulse
lock feature is turned on, the BLUE door lock harness wire will supply two positive pulses instead of a single
pulse. At the same time, the GREEN door lock harness wire will supply two negative pulses instead of a single

pulse.
2-9 FACTORY ALARM DISARM WITH CHANNEL 2: In the default setting the factory alarm disarm output will
disarm the factory alarm system any time the button(s) controlling Channel Two is pressed.
2-10 FACTORY ALARM DISARM—WITH UNLOCK, BEFORE UNLOCK, REMOTE START ONLY: In the default setting the
factory alarm disarm output will disarm the factory alarm system any time the button(s) controlling Unlock is pressed.
The “Before Unlock” output to disarms the factory alarm before the unlock output activates and before remote start
is activated. The “Remote Start Only” output disarms the factory alarm only before the remote start is activated.
2-11 FACTORY ALARM DISARM PULSES—SINGLE, DOUBLE: Selectable for a single or double-pulse for the vehicle’s
factory alarm disarm input requirements.
2-12 CHANNEL 4 VALIDITY/LATCHED/LATCHED RESET WITH IGNITION/30 SECOND TIMED OUTPUT: This wire pro-
vides a (-) 200mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 4 is pressed. This output can
be programmed to provide the following types of outputs (see also the Feature Menus section):
■ Validity: Output that will send a signal as long as the transmission is received.
■ Latched: Output that will send a signal when the Channel 4 button(s) is pressed and will continue until the
same button(s) is pressed again.
■ Latched, reset with ignition: Similar to the latched output, this type of output turns on the first time the
Channel 4 button(s) is pressed and turns off the next time the same button is pressed. This type of output
additionally stops and resets whenever the ignition is turned on and then off.
■ 30-second timed: Output that will send a continuous signal for 30 seconds.
Note: All auxilary channel timed outputs can be programmed using the Bitwriter® (1-90 seconds).
2-13 CHANNEL 4 LINKING (NONE)/ARM, DISARM, REMOTE START: When programming to validity or timed
output this can be programmed to activate when arming or disarming (or remote start) with the transmitter.
2-14 CHANNEL 5 VALIDITY/LATCHED/LATCHED RESET WITH IGNITION/30 SECOND TIMED OUTPUT: Channel Five
can be programmed for these output configurations. The unit is set to the default validity output. To change the
configuration, use the two-chirp setting to toggle through the different configurations. Refer to feature 2-10 for
additional detail.
2-15 CHANNEL 5 LINKING (NONE)/ARM, DISARM, REMOTE START: Refer to feature 2-13 for additional detail.
2-16 CHANNEL 6 VALIDITY/LATCHED/LATCHED RESET WITH IGNITION/30 SECOND TIMED OUTPUT: Channel Five
can be programmed for these output configurations. The unit is set to the default validity output. To change the
configuration, use the two-chirp setting to toggle through the different configurations. Refer to feature 2-10 for
additional detail.
2-17 CHANNEL 6 LINKING (NONE)/ARM, DISARM, REMOTE START: Refer to feature 2-13 for additional detail.

3-1 ENGINE CHECKING ON/OFF: In the default setting the remote start will monitor either the vehicle's tach
wire or voltage depending on the programming of feature 3-2. If programmed OFF the vehicle will crank for the
programmed crank time (feature 3-5) and will not verify with tach or voltage that the car is running. In the OFF
setting, if the vehicle fails to start, the ignition can stay on for the entire run duration. Using tach or voltage
check is always recommended if possible.
3-2 CHECKING TYPE TACH/VOLTAGE: Selects the method of engine monitoring. If set to TACHOMETER the unit
will reference the learned tach signal to disengage the starter. In addition it will monitor the RPM and shut down
if the engine RPM is too high or too low. When set to VOLTAGE, the unit will crank the starter for the programmed
time and then attempt to sense that the engine is running by detecting an increase in voltage. The threshold
for the voltage check is selectable in feature 3-6.
3-3 RUN TIME 12, 24, 60 MINUTES: Selects the time in minutes that the system will operate the engine
until the system "times out". This is the maximum operation period and the system may be shut down
using a shutdown at any time. Using the Bitwriter®, the run time can be programmed for any duration from 1-
60 minutes.
3-4 PARKING LIGHTS FLASHING/CONSTANT: In the default setting, the unit will flash the vehicle's parking lights
(if connected) while remote started. The constant setting will turn the parking lights on solid for the entire run
duration.
3-5 CRANK TIME 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0/4.0 SECONDS: If the unit is programmed for no engine
checking or voltage sense, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting is 0.6
second. If a different crank time is desired, select feature 3-5 and select either 0.6 second by using the one-
chirp setting or toggle through the higher settings by using the two-chirp settings.
3-6 VOLTAGE CHECK HI/LOW: This feature only functions when programmed for voltage sense. Some vehicles
have many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the variation of voltage
between the engine off and the car running is very small and the remote start unit may "think" the vehicle has
not started. This can cause the remote start to shut-down after the car has been started. If this happens program
this feature to the LOW position.
3-7 SHORT RUN/TURBO 1/3/5/10 MINUTES: When the and buttons on the transmitter are pressed
simultaneously, the vehicle will start for the programmed short run time. The factory default is 1 minute.
3-8 ACTIVATION PULSE COUNT 1/2: This allows the system to use 1 or 2 pulses to activate the remote start
sequence. The default setting is 2-pulses.
Note: 1 or 2 pulses on the WHITE/BLUE remote start activation input wire as well as thebutton of the remote control.

3-9 2nd IGNITION/ACCESSORY OUTPUT: This will allow the PINK/WHITE to be used as a 2nd ignition or an acces-
sory. The default is 2nd ignition.
3-10 ACCESSORY STATE DURING WAIT-TO-START OFF/ON: This feature will allow the selection of the accessory
output to be ON or OFF during wait-to-start.
3-11 2nd STATUS OUTPUT NORMAL/REAR DEFOGGER LATCHED 10-MIN/PULSE: This feature will allow selection
of status output or a rear defogger mode that turns on ten seconds after the vehicle has started if the vehicle
interior temperature is below 55 degrees F. The defogger mode has two selections, latched or pulsed. Latched
mode will only stay on for 10 minutes.
3-12 ANTI-GRIND ON/OFF: With the anti-grind On (default) the ground-when-armed output will be active during
remote start operation. If accessories such as a voice module or window module are added to the unit, it may be
necessary to program this feature off.
3-13 DIESEL TIMER—WAIT-TO-START/15, 30, 45 SECONDS: Default is the “Wait-to-Start” input control
wire, or programmable to ignore the input control wire by a delay of 15, 30, or 45 seconds. This feature
can be also programmed with the Bitwriter® and with a delay from 1 to 90 seconds.
3-14 TIMER MODE—TIMED STARTS/TEMPERATURE STARTS: The system will start every 3-hours until can-
celed by the brake, hood, or neutral safety shut-down wires (a maximum of 6 times). The temperature start
mode will not start the vehicle unless the interior temperature of the vehicle is less than 0 degrees F. The tem-
perature start mode will exit after 18 hours.
3-15 RUN TIME (TIMER MODE)—12, 3, 6, 9 MINUTES: Selects the time in minutes that the system will
operate the engine until the system "times out". This is the maximum operation period and the system
may be shut down using a shutdown at any time. Using the Bitwriter®, the run time can be programmed for any
duration from 1-16 minutes.
nuisance prevention® circuitryNPC requires that you change the way you test the system as NPC will bypass an input zone for 60 minutes. If
the system “sees” the same zone trigger three times AND the triggers are spaced less than an hour apart, the
system will bypass that input zone for 60 minutes. If that zone does not attempt to trigger the system during
the 60-minute bypass period, the zone’s monitoring will begin again at the end of the hour. If it does attempt
to trigger while bypassed, the 60-minute bypass starts over again.
Disarming and rearming the system does not reset NPC. The only way to reset NPC is for the 60 minutes to pass,
without a trigger, or for the ignition to be turned on. This allows the system to be repeatedly triggered, disarmed

and rearmed, and still allow NPC to bypass a faulty zone.
When disarming the system, 5 chirps indicate NPC is activated. The LED will report the zone that has been
bypassed. (See Diagnostics section of this guide.)

1. Press & release the and and buttons of the remote control.
2. The parking lights will flash 3-times.
3. The rear defogger output will once again activate when the vehicle is remote started.
NOTE: If the remote start is On the lights will turn off then flash 3-times before returning to theirnormal output and the defogger output will activate as programmed.
timer modeThis unit can be programmed to start and run the engine every three hours, for a maximum of six cycles. The
engine will run for the programmed run time and then shut down. After three hours, the system will restart the engine.
IMPORTANT! Timer Mode should be used only in open areas. Never start and run the vehicle in anenclosed space such as a garage or carport.
To enter or exit timer mode with the transmitter:
The same procedure may be used to enter or exit Timer Mode using the remote transmitter:
1. Remote start the vehicle by pressing and simultaneously.
2. The lights will flash 4-times.
3. After 1-second the car will start and the timer mode will run for the specified time period.
The system is in Timer Mode. The engine may be allowed to run for its programmed run time, or the transmitter
can be used to shut down the engine. Either way, the remote start system will restart the engine again in three
hours. Timer Mode is exited automatically after the sixth run cycle.
To enter or exit timer mode manually:
1. Make sure the remote start system is not operating the engine.
2. Turn the ignition on.
Timer Mode will be exited and the parking lights will flash four times.

long term event historyThe system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees a full trigger,
the older of the two 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 switch.
2. Turn on the ignition.
3. Release the Valet/Program switch.
4. Press and release the Valet/Program switch within 5 seconds. The LED will flash in groups
indicating the last two zones that triggered the unit for one minute or until the ignition
is turned off.
NOTE: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and will not be reported.
safety checkBefore vehicle reassembly, the remote system must be checked to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. The fol-
lowing test procedure must be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. The installation
must be completed before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.
1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), activate the remote start system. Once the
engine is running, press the brake pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues
to run, check the brake circuit connection.
2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), open the hood. Activate the remote start
system. The vehicle should not start. If the starter engages, check your hood pin and connections.
NOTE: If programmed for Diesel Mode, the system will turn on the ignition, but the starter shouldnot engage with the hood open.
3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:
© 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved 55
IMPORTANT! Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle beforeattempting this test.
a. Make sure the hood is closed and no other shutdown circuits are active.
b. Set the emergency brake.
c. Turn the ignition key to the run position but do not start the engine.
d. Put the vehicle in Drive (D).
e. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut-
down the remote start system.
f. Activate the remote start system.
■ If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake to shut down the system. If it does engage,
recheck the neutral safety input connection. The vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch.
(See H3/1 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input in Remote Start Harness Wire Connection Guide
section of this guide.)
■ If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.
Once the system passes the three tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled and delivered. Do not the use the remote
start system or finalize the installation if it fails any of the safety check tests.
troubleshooting
■ Shock sensor doesn't trigger the alarm:
Has the NPC® system been triggered? If so, you will hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the igni-
tion key on and off to clear the NPC®'s memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description of
NPC®, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of this guide.
■ Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the first 3 seconds:
That's how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an instant trigger,
remember, since even if the door is instantly closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue.
■ 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. (See Door Lock Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.)
■ System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:
Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/6 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either
the H1/5 green or the H1/7 violet should be used instead. (See wiring diagrams.)
alarm troubleshooting
56 © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
■ Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:
Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Diagnostics section of this
guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door
switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.
■ The Valet/Program switch doesn't work.
Is it plugged into the correct socket? See Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch section of this guide.
■ Status LED doesn't work.
You've probably guessed already, but here goes: Is it plugged in? (See Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch
section of this guide.) Is the LED plugged into the correct socket?
■ Door locks operate backwards.
This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck wire connections to see if you have reversed these.
■ The remote start will not activate.
1. Check the harnesses and their connections. Make sure that the harnesses are completely plugged into the
remote start module. Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring.
2. Check voltage and fuses. Use a meter to check for voltage between the red wire in the 5-pin ribbon harness
and the black ground wire. If you have less than battery voltage, check the 3A and both 30A fuses on the
relay satellite. Also make sure that the ground wire connects to a good chassis ground point.
3. Check diagnostics. The diagnostics will tell you which shutdown is active or not connected.
■ The remote start will activate, but the starter never engages.
1. Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds after the remote start becomes active. If there is
voltage present, skip to Step 4. If there is not voltage present, advance to Step 2.
2. Check the 30A fuses.
3. Check diagnostics. If the gray/black wire is detecting ground upon activation, the starter will not crank.
4. Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the optional starter kill/anti-grind relay.
5. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.
6. Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the relay satellite should have solid connections.
"T-taps" or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle
has more than one 12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to each.
■ The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.
1. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark during unau-
thorized starting attempts.
2. Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If so, the start time may not be set high enough, or you
may have to adjust the voltage threshold in programming. Voltage sense will not work on some vehicles.
remote start troubleshooting

3. Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active during cranking or just after cranking.
■ The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running.
1. Is the system programmed for engine checking off or voltage sense? When programmed for either of these
features, the engine cranks for the preprogrammed crank time regardless of how long it takes for the vehicle
to actually start. Adjust to a lower cranking time.
2. Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solid and bright to indicate a successful learn.
3. Make sure that there is a tach signal at the purple/white tach input wire of the remote start. If there is not
a tach signal, recheck the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or
shorted to ground leading to the remote start.
■ The vehicle will start, but will only run for 10 seconds.
1. Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? Try programming the unit for low voltage reference. If this
does not work, a tach wire should be used.
2. Check diagnostics.
■ The climate control system does not work while the unit is operating the vehicle.
Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than one ignition or accessory wire must be ener-
gized in order to operate the climate control system.
