Directed Electronics 795T User manual

795T Three-Channel Pager
© 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
N795T 8/02
The 795T is a sophisticated three-channel pager that
will notify you if your security system has been trig-
gered. It operates at 27MHz and has an effective
range of up to one mile under ideal conditions. The
795T is compatible with most security systems and is
capable of identifying what sensor or input has been
triggered.
The receiver uses two AAA batteries that need to be
installed under the sliding door on the rear of the
unit. The base unit is installed in the vehicle and uses
an AM/FM antenna to broadcast to the receiver. The
optional strip antenna (part number 793T) can be
used for hidden applications.
The receiver uses EEPROM to learn the code of the
base unit. One receiver is capable of monitoring three
separate cars. Once the receiver has learned the code
of one or more base units, it will be retained in
memory, even without batteries, for over a year.

The 795T is a multi-channel paging system that uses
EEPROM to learn the code of the base unit. Please
take time to read this installation guide prior to
installing the unit.
Electrical Connections
NOTE: Make all electrical connections prior to plug-
ging the main wiring harness into the base unit.
RED (+) 12V Constant Power Input - Connect this
wire to the positive battery terminal or to a good 12V
source at the ignition harness.
WHITE, WHITE/BLACK Power Antenna Interface -
(+ 200mA capable) These wires are used to raise the
factory power antennas.
BLACK (-) Chassis Ground - Connect this wire to a
paint-free metal surface. If possible use a factory bolt
as it will resist stripping when tightening.
Orange (-) Ground-When-Armed Input - Connect to
the ground when armed output of the security system. If
your security system does not have a ground when armed
output, then use the brown (+) siren wire in it’s place.
NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control
another module a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004)
will be required. (See the below diagram.)
GREEN (-) Zone 3 Door Input - Connect to the (-)
door trigger input of the security system.
BLUE (-) Zone 1 Input - Usual connections are either
the shock sensor trigger wire, hood trigger wire, or
trunk trigger wire.
GRAY (-) Zone 2 Input - Usual connections are either
the shock sensor, WarnAway®wire, or a field distur-
bance sensor trigger wire.
BROWN (+) Siren Input - This wire connects to the
positive siren wire of the security system ONLY if the
security system does not offer a (-) ground when
armed output.
VIOLET (+) Zone 3 Door Input - Connect to the (+)
door trigger input of the security system.
NOTE: Once the wires have been connected to
inputs of the alarm, make note of these con-
nections for future reference.
AM/FM Antenna - Unplug the antenna from the radio
in the car and plug it into the port on the base unit
marked ANTENNA. Then plug the supplied antenna
cord into the port marked RADIO and also into the
back of the radio in the vehicle.
The 795T receiver is code learning. Before attempting
to teach the unit a code, the manual paging switch
pod must be plugged into the base unit.
1. Press down on the ON/OFF switch on the pager
unit and hold it down. While holding, slide the
power switch to the ON position. Both LEDs will

light. Continue to hold the ON/OFF button until
the pager beeps one time. Release the ON/OFF
switch.
The unit is now in learn mode. The zone LED will
light ORANGE, and the car LED will flash the color
of the selected car. Pressing down momentarily on
the ON/OFF switch will cycle the car LED from RED
to ORANGE to GREEN. Select the desired color.
2. Press either of the buttons on the manual paging
switch pod. The transmit LED on the pod unit will
illuminate to confirm that the base unit is trans-
mitting. The pager will beep five times to confirm
that it has learned the code and will automati-
cally exit learn mode.
When the pager is turned on, it will beep and both
LED’s will flash ORANGE one time. The unit is now in
the standby mode and waiting for a transmission from
the base unit. The pager will respond when the alarm
system has triggered and/or when the manual paging
buttons in the vehicles are pressed.
When the pager unit receives a page it will respond
with beeps and flashing LEDs. After you receive a
page and check the status of the pager, you may quiet
the pager by pressing the ON/OFF switch. The pager
will then return to the standby mode.

Event Explanation
9 short beeps Security system has triggered
pager
3 grouped of 3 beeps Manual paging buttons were
pressed
1 beep every minute Pager has been triggered,
but not checked by user
2 beeps every 5 min. Batteries are low and need
to be replaced
Pager does not sound when alarm is triggered.
■Is the base unit transmitting? Check the Transmit
LED.
■Have you taught the receiver the code from the
base unit? See the Code Learning section of this
guide.
When the alarm is triggered, the transmit LED does
not light.
■Is the ORANGE or BROWN wire connected?
Remember the ORANGE wire must have ground or
the BROWN wire must have voltage to set up the
base unit to transmit.
■Are the trigger inputs connected and configured
properly? See the Electrical Connections section of
this guide.
