Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed w/hardwire tach inputs)
To program Virtual Tach:
After the install is complete,1. remote start the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of
the starter before the engine starts and runs. Do not turn off the remote start if this happens, it is a normal
programming operation.
Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds.2. Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start off. Virtual Tach is programmed.3. To reset Virtual Tach, go into the Reset and Deletion section of this guide. Virtual Tach cannot be reset with
the Bitwriter.
Note:
Virtual Tach cannot be used in MTS Manual Transmission Mode. It is also not recommended for diesel
trucks.
Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the
customer wants to have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected.
Important: After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters
may over crank or under crank during remote start. The Bitwriter can be used fine tune
the starter output time in 50mS increments to compensate for such an occurrence.
Learning the Tach (not needed with Virtual Tach)
To learn the tach signal:
Start1. the vehicle with the key. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Control button.
After 3 seconds the status LED on your Control Center lights constant when the tach signal is learned.2. Release3. the Control button.
Note: When the tachometer is programmed the main unit automatically enters the Tachometer engine check-
ing mode.
Neutral safety switch interface
Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the vehicle has a mechanical neutral
safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the
remote start is interfaced 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.
Important: You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the follow-
ing test. Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connect-
ing to the brake as a shut-down.
Testing the neutral safety switch
Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.1. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.2. Set the emergency brake.3. Turn the key to the “run” position, this releases the shifter.4. Place the car in drive (D).5. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the6. starter engages.
Activate the remote start system.7. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to shut the remote start system down. If the8. 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
www.
directechs.com for Document 1008 under the Resource tab. For an alternative shut-down method

which prevents 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 properly installed!
Remote Start Shutdown/Startup Diagnostics
Shutdown diagnostics: If the remote start activates but fails to stay running, the remote start module has the
ability to inform you of what may have caused the remote start failure. Before performing shutdown diagnos-
tics it is important that you let the remote start shut off on its own i.e. let it attempt to start 3 times then shut
down, if this is not done the unit will report the shutdown you used to shut off the remote start.
Note: Shutdown diagnostics does not report if the vehicles factory immobilizer is causing the problem.
To perform shutdown diagnostics:
With the ignition Off,1. press and hold the Control button (on Control Center).
Turn2. the ignition On and then back Off while holding the Control button.
Release3. the Control button.
Press4. and release the Control button. The status LED flashes to report the last shutdown for one minute or
until the ignition is turned on, as shown in the following table:
Status LED Flashes Shutdown Mode
1 flash Runtime expired
2 flashes Over-rev shutdown
3 flashes Low or no RPM
4 flashes Transmitter shutdown (or optional push button)
5 flashes (+) Brake shutdown
6 flashes (-) Hood shutdown
7 flashes Timer mode/Turbo mode/Manual mode error *
8 flashes Neutral safety shutdown
9 flashes Low battery (voltage mode)
10 flashes Alarm triggered **

* Timer mode error: Ignition is on or shutdown input is active when activating timer mode.
Turbo mode error: Turbo mode is programmed off, engine is not on or shutdown input is active.
Manual mode error: MTS mode not enabled.
** Alarm was triggered during remote start sequence.
Startup Diagnostics: If the vehicle fails to activate the remote start, the remote start module will notify you via
your Responder LE 2-way remote control and will flash the parking lights on the vehicle to notify you of what
caused the no-start situation.
Parking Light Flashes
5 flashes Brake wire is active
6 flashes Hood pin wire is active
7 flashes Manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized.

Basic Remote Functions
See Owner’s guide for functionality details on both the LE and 1-way companion remote control.
Reset and Deletion
If a feature/virtual tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following proce-
dure.
Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIOLET, H1/6 must be connected.)1. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be connected).2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control button: 2 times if you want to delete remotes, 3 times3. to reset features or 4 times to reset virtual tach.. These function steps are described next.
Step 2:
Delete remotes: This feature erases all remotes from the memory of the security system. This is useful
in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen.
Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the security system or reset the Virtual Tach
setting.
Step 3:
Reset Features: This resets features all of the security system to the factory default settings.
Note: This feature does not delete the remotes from the security system or reset the Virtual Tach set-
ting
Step 4:
Virtual Tach Reset: Deletes all previously learned values for Virtual Tach, and on the next remote start
sequence the unit begins virtual tach initialization.
Note: The “Zap” feature on the Bitwriter does not reset the Virtual tach setting.
Once you have selected the function step, press the Control button once more and hold it. The LED flashes4. and the siren chirps to confirm the selected functional step. Do not release the Control button
While holding the control button, press the5.
button on the remote control. The unit chirps to confirm that
the feature has been successfully reset.
Once the feature is reset, the Control button can be released.
Long Term Event History
The 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 is replaced by the new trigger. To access long term event
history:
With the ignition Off,1. press and hold the Control button (on Control Center).
Turn2. the ignition On.
Release3. the Control button.
Within 5 seconds,4. press and release the Control button. The status LED flashes in groups indicating the last
two zones that triggered the unit for 1 minute or until the ignition is turned off. Refer to table of zones.
Note: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and is not reported.
