The 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 customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the
instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond
to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only
way your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured
to meet your needs.
active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear
a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash
once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to
the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approxi-
mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively
protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,
and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the
Diagnostics
section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
➜

8© 2005 directed electronics, inc.all rights reserved
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 one
time 20 seconds after the last door has been closed. The system
is not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the
doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at
the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp
provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away®signal. When
triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash
for a few seconds.
➤Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and
flashing parking lights.
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on). See Programming Options section of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
➜

9
© 2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved
➤If a door is opened, the system will immediately start
chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three
seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast.
This progressive response gives you time to disarm the sys-
tem with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door
while the system is armed, while still providing an instant
response (even if the door is immediately closed).
➤Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response as opening a door.
➤The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
multi-level security arming
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the
security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will
be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See the Table
of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing again within five
seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-
Level Security Arming feature. Each time is pressed again, a
different security level is selected. The different security levels
can be selected as follows:
➤Press one time: The siren chirps once. The system is
armed.
note: The Multi-Level Security Arming feature is only
available with the optional four-button transmitter pro-
grammed to the expanded configuartions.
➜

10 © 2005 directed electronics, inc.all rights reserved
➤Press a second time within five seconds: The siren
chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now
bypassed.
➤Press 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.
➤Continued pressing of will begin the Multi-Level
Security Arming cycle over again.
arming while driving
Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle. Simply press
on your transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is
running or while the ignition is on. The siren will chirp once and
then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The security
system will not respond to any input except the door triggers and the
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if installed) will not be activated. The security
system will disarm automatically whenever the ignition is turned off.
The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing.
➜
note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin-
gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then
re-armed, all the zones will be active again.

11
© 2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved
disarming
To disarm the system, press . You will hear two chirps,
and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are
connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps
either four or five times when disarming, refer to the
Diagnostics
section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert.
high security disarm
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security
Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the
system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the
system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer
than six seconds, pressing 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
convenience, in case the system is accidentally triggered.
➜
➜
note: If programmed for the optional Vehicle Recovery
System (VRS®) feature, arming with the transmitter will
arm the VRS®feature. (See VRS®section of this guide.)

12 © 2005 directed electronics, inc.all rights reserved
disarming without a transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the
remote transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order
to disarm the system without a remote transmitter, you must have
the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet button is
located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the
number of presses of the Valet button required to disarm the
system.
To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON posi-
tion. Press the Valet button the
preset number of times (one to
five times) within 15 seconds.
After 5 seconds, the system will
now disarm. If the system does
not disarm, you may have waited
too long; turn the ignition off and on and try again.
Location of Valet Button_________________________________
Number of Pulses______________________________________
important! The unit can be programmed to respond to
one to five pulses of the Valet button for the disarm func-
tion. Be sure to check with the installer for the desired
programming.

silent mode
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent
Mode™. Simply press for less than one second before
arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim-
inated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm
chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just
press for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The
siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the
programmed siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time,
press on the remote transmitter again.
valet mode
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming
and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when
washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the
security system will not arm, even with the remote transmitter,
but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.)
will continue to work normally.
➜
➜
note: The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is
bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This
ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an
area you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable
of triggering, only the Warn Away® response is bypassed.
➜

14 © 2005 directed electronics, inc.all rights reserved
To enter or exit Valet Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Press and release the Valet
switch within 10 seconds.
The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode,
and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode.
To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter:
1. Open any vehicle door.
2. Press .
3. Press .
4. Press again.
The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode,
and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode.
nuisance prevention® circuitry
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry
(NPC®). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to
faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as
thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and
each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC®will
interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger,
NPC®ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any
other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
➜
DRW-35

15
© 2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This
ensures that a sensor that continually triggers will remain
bypassed.
Doors are covered by NPC®differently; if the alarm is triggered
by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed
until the trigger ceases.
NPC is programmable. See
Programming Options section of this
guide.
ddiiaaggnnoossttiiccss
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.
note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this
function!.The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it
to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If
testing your system, it is important to remember that the
NPC programming can cause zones to be bypassed and
appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when dis-
arming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the
NPC memory, turn the ignition key on.

16 © 2005 directed electronics, inc.all rights reserved
arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then
one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass
Notification.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when
the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds
later the system will monitor that input normally. For example,
if your vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm the
system before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass
Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors
are monitored normally.
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. In either case, the
status LED will indicate which zone was involved. (See
Table of
Zones
section of this guide.) The system will retain this informa-
tion 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.
➜
note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using
Silent Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
