Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security system. This system has been designed to provide years
of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system,
it must be installed by an authorised dealer only. Installation of
this product by anyone other than an authorised dealer voids the
warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-
cates to verify that they are authorised.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your
system. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.

transmitter functions
This system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-
mitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially
comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also
be customised by an authorised dealer. The buttons described in
this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.
remote operation
The system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s propri-
etary technology transceiver. The high frequency combined with
Binary Data communication achieves superior range with two-way
communication.
system signal paging features
➜
A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote control
as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
18
When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page
notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps and-or
vibration) and the LCD Icons will display the current system status.
Command Page
When a command (arm/disarm, or auxiliary channel) from the
remote control is sent and received, the system will send a
command page back to confirm receipt.
Alarm Page
If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will be
sent to the remote control. When the remote receives an Alarm
Page, the LCD icons will display the alarm system status informa-
tion and the remote control will generate beeps and-or vibration.
An Alarm Page alert is a series of 5 groups of 4 rapid beeps (ultra-
sonic sensor, boot, door, ignition, or bonnet trigger) and the
LCD icon that caused the alarm will display. This will repeat
every 60 seconds to alert the user that the alarm system was trig-
gered and will continue until the alarm page is cleared.
Page Recognition (Acknowledgement)
To clear a page alert/notification, quickly press any button on
the remote control. This can be performed at any time during or
after the page notification has occurred.
The remote control will not send a command to the system at
this time; it will only clear future repeats of the page notification.
The next time a button is pressed on the remote control it will
send a command to the system.

out of range notification
➜
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is set to
the incorrect vehicle or is beyond the range of the vehicle to
receive the command, the remote responds with 3 set of 2 quick
beeps and the
icon will flash 3-times.

using your system
The buttons described in this manual correspond to the standard
configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your trans-
mitter may be set up. It can be customised to meet your needs.
active arming
➜
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing
on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear
a short siren sound, or chirp, and the indicator lights will flash
once. If the vehicle’s central door locking has been connected to
the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approxi-
mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively

22
protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,
and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics
section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The LCD remote responds to active arming with one beep and
the
icon will flash 5-times to indicate successful arming of
the system.
If the LCD remote beeps twice after arming, the system has detected
an active sensor that should be checked. For example, a door open
icon will be displayed flashing 5-times on the LCD screen.
passive arming
➜
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically
(called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off and the system "sees" you leave the vehicle by opening
and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second
passive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as
fast as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp
once 20 seconds after the last door has been closed and the inte-
rior light has turned off. The system is not actually armed at that
point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and
programmed for passive locking) at the 30 second mark, but the
siren will not chirp. The early chirp provides you with a 10-
second warning prior to arming.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
23
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected (boot or bonnet)) is open, the system
will not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is
programmed on). See Programming Options section of
this guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is
triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts from the beginning.
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤ Movement inside the passenger compartment will trigger
the system. The triggered sequence is 30 seconds of constant
siren and indicator light flashing.
➤ If a door is opened, the system will immediately trigger.
➤ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response as opening a door.
➤ The built-in triple circuit Immobiliser prevents the vehicle's
ignition, starter and fuel pump from operating.
➤ Any full trigger of the alarm system will immediately send an
alarm page to your remote informing you that your vehicle
should be checked.

one-time bypass
➜
This feature stops the alarm from arming or activating any
outputs that are programmed to activate when the alarm is
armed.
One-time bypass will defeat the following actions:
Passive arming: If programmed ON the alarm will not arm
itself.
If the remote is used to arm the alarm after exiting the vehicle:
Window roll up: If programmed ON this output will not
activate.
Linked Auxiliary Outputs: If programmed to activate on
arm, they will not activate.
To activate one-time bypass:
1. After parking turn the ignition off.
2. Turn the ignition On for more than 1-second and less than
3-seconds.
3. The siren will chirp once to indicate one-time bypass has
been activated.
To cancel one-time bypass perform one of the following:
Arm then disarm the alarm.
Turn the ignition On for more than 3-seconds.

transmitter sensor disable
➜
To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system. Press the
button again and the system will respond with 3 indicator
flashes. This means all sensor warn-away triggers are bypassed.
Press the
button again and the system will respond with 4
indicator light flashes. This means all sensor warn-away and full
triggers are bypassed.
autoimmobilisation
➜
The built-in Triple Circuit Immobiliser will automatically arm
(indicated by a slow LED flash), 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off. (This feature is a Thatcham and EC requirement and,
therefore, is not user-programmable.) To disarm the Immobiliser
when it has AutoImmobilised, either use the remote control to
arm and then disarm the system, or turn the ignition on and
press the
or
button or enter your 4-digit PIN code.
disarming
➜
To disarm the system, press
. You will hear two chirps, and
the indicators will flash twice. If the vehicle's central locking is
connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps
either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics
section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert and means the
system has triggered while you were away.

high security disarm
➜
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security
Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the
system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the
system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer
than six seconds, pressing
or
on the remote 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.
The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 5
flashes of the
icon. If disarming after the system has been
triggered, the remote control will send a diagnostic notification
as a reminder. These diagnostic notifications are:
1. If a sensor triggered the system, the remote will emit 4 quick
beeps and the LCD screen will indicate which sensor (5-
flashes) tripped the alarm.
2. If a switch (Zone 1, 3, 5, or 6) triggered the system, the
remote will emit 4 quick beeps and the LCD screen will
indicate which switch (5-flashes) tripped the alarm.

disarming without a transmitter
➜
This feature allows you to disarm the system without the trans-
mitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm
without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key,
know where the Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code.
Check with the installer for the location of the Valet switch.
Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for
instructions to enter the pin code.

The interior light activates for 30-seconds after seeing door
closure, ignition, or security disarm. (This is the factory setting.)
silent mode
➜
To arm or disarm the system without siren chirps, use Silent
Mode™. Simply press
for less than one second before
arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim-
inated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm
chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
®
note: The Warn Away response from any optionally
installed sensors are bypassed if the system is armed using
Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted
by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The system is
®
still fully capable of triggering. Only the Warn Away
response is bypassed.
valet mode
➜
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming
and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when
washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the
security system will not arm, even with the remote transmitter,
but all convenience functions (door locks, boot release, etc.) will
continue to work normally.

diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is
constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are
connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and
prevents them from disabling the entire system. The micropro-
cessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred
during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and
Table of Zones charts for diagnostic information.
arming diagnostics
➜
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then
one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass
Notification.
note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using
Silent Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when
the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds
later the system will monitor that input normally. For example,
if your vehicle’s boot was open, and you arm the system, you
will hear Bypass Notification chirps. If you close the boot it is
then monitored normally without the need to disarm and then
rearm the system.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
32
disarming diagnostics
➜
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard
when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five
chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that Nuisance
®
Prevention Circuitry has bypassed that zone. The status LED will
indicate which zone was involved. (See Table of Zones section of
this guide.) The system will retain this information in its memory,
and continue to chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed,
until the next time the ignition key is turned on.
system status chirps

The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The
pattern of chirps will audibly report the system’s status as

interpreting zone diagnostics
➜
Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming
diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or
a Tamper Alert notification when disarming, look at the LED.
Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of flashes
by the LED.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
34
Example
If Zone 3 was active or triggered, the LED will flash three times
with a two-second pause. Then it will flash three times again,
and repeat until the ignition is turned on.
note: Your system stores the last six triggered zones in
memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED
has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can
still recall the last six zones that were triggered. Contact
your dealer for details.
code hopping
The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas
called algorithms to change their codes 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 transmitter has been pressed many
times out of range of the vehicle, or if the battery has been
removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to
operate the system. To re-sync the remote control simply press
of the transmitter several times within range of the vehicle.
The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the trans-
mitters normally.

high frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a
cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal.
owner recognition
Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from Directed.
®
Using the Directed Bitwriter , a hand-held programming tool,
your dealer can program many of the system settings. The
programmer makes it possible to program different settings for
each transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenever a
specific transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings
assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition lets up to four
users of the system have different settings that meet their specific
needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle,
one for each user.
note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed with-
out a Directed Bitwriter® and the necessary software.
Check with your dealer for more information.
rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile
memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, the system will
recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in

Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such
as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will
still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system
®
including arm, disarm, Autoimmobilised, VRS , and Valet
Mode.
power saver mode
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while
armed or in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no oper-
ation has been performed. This lowers the current draw to the
vehicle’s battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the
following conditions:
➤ Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has
been armed for 24 hours, the LED will flash at half its
normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
➤ Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet
Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used
(ignition is not turned on) for a period of one hour while the
system is in Valet Mode, the LED will turn off.

back page of this manual. If you would like to change this
PIN for one that is easier for you to remember please visit
your installing dealer.
➤ Siren chirp volume: Battery back-up siren consists of a dual-
tone sequence. The siren chirps can be either full volume or
six decibels quieter
than normal.
vehicle recovery system (vrs®)
®
The optional VRS feature is designed to ensure that any un-
authorised user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote
control) will not be able to permanently separate you from your
vehicle.
®
The VRS cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; however, it does
ensure that if your vehicle is taken by an unauthorised user, it will
be disabled (after several progressive warnings) as safely as
®
possible. Should a carjacking occur, the VRS allows you to
concern yourself with your personal safety without worrying
about your property.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
39
Directed has engineered this vehicle security system, and the
®
VRS feature to provide the best combination of personal safety
and property protection available. When properly installed, the
system can never inadvertently stop your vehicle in traffic or in
a dangerous position while the vehicle is in operation. It is unlike
other systems that shut down your engine while it is running.
This system is designed to perform full triple-circuit immobili-
sation.
important! Any installation that allows this product to
shut down a vehicle's engine when it is running is con-
trary to the product’s design and intended usage, and
Directed hereby expressly disclaims any liability resulting
therefrom.
arming the vrs®
To arm the VRS , turn the ignition to the ON position and press
➜
®
the arm button on the remote transmitter for one second. The
indicator lights will flash and the siren will chirp once. This can
be done before driving or while driving the vehicle. Once the
system is armed, it will initiate its triggered sequence (see below)
if any door is opened and closed. The system will now trigger au-
tomatically the next time you or anyone drives the vehicle. This
helps to protect the vehicle if someone takes your keys and remote
control.
®
note: If the VRS system is armed while operating the vehi-
cle and not disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still
armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.

vrs® triggered sequence
➜
Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the system’s status
LED will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to
distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.
Forty-five seconds later, the siren begins chirping and the indi-
cator lights begin flashing.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will
change to a continuous blast.
®
From this point on, when the ignition key is turned off, the VRS
will immediately turn on the triple circuit immobiliser to prevent
the vehicle from being restarted.
Three minutes after the constant siren output begins, the flashing
indicator lights and the siren will stop. The immobiliser will
remain active until the system is disarmed. If the door is opened
or the ignition is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the
car, the siren and light flashing will begin again.

disarming the vrs®
Take the time to familiarise yourself with the VRS triggering se-
quence and the disarm procedure. It is important to recognise
➜

and identify the VRS trigger sequence and know how to disarm
it in case of accidental activation.
®
Once the VRS is armed, it does not disarm automatically. You
must disarm it the next time you operate the vehicle. You must
disarm it with one of the following procedures:
If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has
not started chirping):
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the
button on the remote for one
second. The lights will flash and the siren will
chirp twice.

programming options
See your dealer for further details on the options listed below
available with this system.
Comfort Closure: Windows will close upon locking the vehicle.
Dual Sensor Trigger: If programmed, both the onboard and at
least one of the optional sensors need to be triggered within 1-
second of each other for full alarm.
note: In dual sensor mode, the LCD remote will report
showing both zones that tripped the alarm. The in-vehicle
LED will flash to indicate only the last sensor of the pair
which tripped the alarm.
Forced Passive Arming: If passive arming is on and a door is left
open the system will be armed after 1-hour.
High Security Disarm: If the system is triggered this feature allows
the user to silence the siren and reset the system to the armed
state without having to visually check the system status.
Remote Start Reporting: This channel 3 programmable option
allows for the 2-way LCD transmitter to report when the vehicle
has been remote started provided the 561T remote starter has
been installed.
Retained Accessory Power: This output from the security system
can be connected to vehicle accessories, such as the vehicle radio.
After the ignition has been turned off, it will continue to supply
power until a door has been open and closed.

ultrasonic sensors
Your security system incorporates two Ultrasonic sensors, which
are most commonly mounted at the top of the A-pillars facing
the rear of the vehicle. These sensors detect movement inside the
vehicle by sensing air disturbance. They should trigger the alarm
if a thief gained access to the interior of your vehicle. Please make
sure all windows are closed on the vehicle or the ultrasonic
sensors could false alarm due to air movement.
The sensor bar indicator
on the LCD of the
remote displays the current sensor sensitivity setting. Increased
sensitivity is indicated if the bar is filled to the right.
note:
Return your vehicle to your dealer for ultrasonic sen-
sor sensitivity adjustment.
security & convenience expansions
Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options
available. Please contact your dealer for a complete explanation
of all the options available to you.
Glass Tamper Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and
breaking glass each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The
506T glass tamper sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds,
and then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to
determine if the glass has been struck.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
44
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is estab-
lished by installing the 508D "radar" sensor. Your security
system can then react to any intrusions into this field with the
triggered sequence.
®
Headlight Automation: The 545T Nite-Lite will automatically
turn on your headlights when it gets dark. In addition, the 545T
will turn your headlights on whenever the windscreen wipers are
used. A transmitter function can also be used to turn on your
headlights for a programmed time.
Electric Boot Release: The channel two output of the system can
operate a factory boot release for the vehicle’s boot or hatch. (An
additional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not
electrically activated, then Directed's 522T boot release solenoid
can often be added.
Electric Window Control: Automatic electric window control is
provided with the 529T and 530T systems.
Valet Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet
561T* start system can start your vehicle, monitor engine func-
tions, and power your climate control system with a push of a
button. Over-rev protection, open-bonnet lockout, brake pedal
shutoff, and automatic timer shutoff are all included. (This
feature is only for automatic transmission, fuel-injected vehicles.)
