535T Window Automation System
The 535T window automation system controls the operation of 2 windows in both directions or
4 windows in 1 direction. The 535T automatically rolls up the power windows when the security
system is armed, as well as providing “one-touch” operation from the vehicle window switch in
either direction. The 535T can also be used to vent or roll the windows down with an auxiliary
channel from the security system.
NOTE: One-touch and vent functions do not work in 4 window mode. One-touch function is not compat-
ible with vehicles that vent the window upon opening a door. This feature is typical on most convertibles
or coupes such as the Nissan 350Z, Ford Mustang, or BMW Z series.
Operating Instructions
To roll the windows up:
Simply arm the vehicle security system, the windows will roll up
completely.
To arm the security system and leave the windows down:
1. Press the auxiliary channel that is controlling the down function.
2. Within 5 seconds arm the security system.
3. The security system will arm, but the windows will remain down.
To vent the windows (not available in 4 window mode):
At any time, press and release the auxiliary channel of the security
system and the windows will vent to the programmed setting.
To roll the windows down (not available in 4 window mode):
At any time, press and hold the auxiliary channel of the security
system for 3 seconds, the windows will vent and then continue to roll
down.
NOTE: If using a delayed auxiliary channel from the security system, such as trunk release, to control
the windows down operation, the transmitter button will have to be pressed for 1.5 seconds to vent the
windows and 4.5 seconds to roll the windows all the way down.
To activate “one-touch” operation (not available in 4 window mode):
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Simply tap the vehicle window switch in either direction, the window will roll up or down
completely.

To stop the window:
1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Tap the vehicle window switch in either direction while the window is in motion.
NOTE: If “one-touch” operation is desired from the passenger switch, the passenger side wires will need
to be run into the passenger door and interfaced between the passenger switch and the window motor.
If one touch is not desired simply turn on dip switch number 2
Dip Switch Settings
The 535T has several functions that can be programmed on or off by the setting of the dipswitches
on the side of the module. Listed below are the features that can be programmed by the dipswitches.
Default settings are in the OFF position.
Dipswitch 1 2 Window/4 Window Mode
Dipswitch 2 One Touch Control
Dipswitch 3 Window Switch Polarity
Dipswitch 4 Not Used
Dipswitch 5 Siren Input Polarity
Dipswitch 6 Prewarn/Full Trigger Close
DIPSWITCH 1, 2 window/4 window mode:
In the OFF position the 535T will control 2 windows in 2 directions. In the ON position the 535T
will control 4 windows in 1 direction.
DIPSWITCH 2, one touch control:
In the OFF position the 535T will give the customer “one touch” up and down operation from the
switch. In the ON position the “one touch” feature does not function.
NOTE: If “one touch” operation is desired from the passenger switch, the passenger side wires will need
to be interfaced in the passenger door. “One touch” does not function in 4 window mode. This feature
may not be compatible with vehicles that have a “vent” feature upon opening a door. Most coupes or
convertibles such as the Nissan 350Z, Ford Mustang or BMW Z series are incompatible with this feature.
DIPSWITCH 3, window switch polarity:
In the OFF position the 535T will respond to (+) positive inputs on the switch wires. For type A
and type C systems, the switch must be set to the ON position. In the off position the 535T will
respond to (-) negative inputs on the switch wires. Remember, the type B system switches it’s wires
to (-) ground rather than +12V when the switch is in use.

DIPSWITCH 4:
NOT USED.
DIPSWITCH 5, siren input polarity:
In the OFF position the 535T will close the windows when a (+) positive is received on the Brown
H3/5 wire of the 535T. In the ON position the 535T will close the windows when a (-) negative
is received on the Brown H3/5 wire of the 535T.
NOTE: The siren trigger feature will only work when the Brown H3/5 wire of the 535T is wired to an
aftermarket security system and the windows will need to be in the down position with the security system
in the armed state.
DIPSWITCH 6, pre-warn or full trigger close:
In the OFF position the 535T after a 2 second delay will roll the windows up when the security
system is in “Full Trigger” mode.
In the ON position the 535T will immediately roll the windows up when the security system is in
“Warnaway” mode.
NOTE: The brown H3/5 wire needs to be connected and the correct polarity selected (see dip switch
5 settings) for this feature to work. When dipswitch #6 is in the ON position (warn away mode) and the
535T is tied into a security/remote start system, if the windows are in the down position and the vehicle
is remote started the windows will roll up if the system is armed or disarmed during the remote start time
period. To bypass this function, you can either program off the anti-grind feature of a Directed system or
perform the silent arm/disarm command with the system.

NOTE: All ground wires (H3/2 white/black, H3/1 white, H1/6 violet/black, H1/5 black and H1/1
violet) must be connected for the system to function correctly.
Before installation!
Verify that all windows work correctly with their respective switches.
Locate and access the driver window motor wires and/or the master window switch.

8© 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.
Disconnect the driver window motor circuit and disconnect the master window switch.
Place the vehicle in the “ignition ON” state using the key or push button ignition/start system.
Turn the vehicle completely off.
Reconnect the window motor circuit and master window switch and verify that the windows still
operate.
If the windows no longer operate normally, the vehicle may require a window programming
procedure after these wires are disconnected. If this is the case, stop the installation and return the
vehicle to its initial condition.
The 535T interrupts the power window circuit in order to control the windows in either direction.
If the vehicle requires a window learn procedure after each time the window circuit is disconnected,
it is not compatible for aftermarket window control modules such as the 535T.
Most vehicles not compatible with the 535T have an OEM comfort closure feature accessible
from the driver door key cylinder. Consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Directed Technical
Support for more information if your vehicle is equipped with an OEM comfort closure feature
that may be used as an alternative to aftermarket window control modules.
NOTE: Window automation is not recommended on vehicles where the window motor is part of a door
module.

H2/1 BROWN: Driver window up switch side
Cut the up (driver) wire at the switch or motor and connect this wire to the switch side of the wire.
NOTE: In 4 window mode, this wire is used for programming the module.
H2/2 WHITE: Driver window down switch side
Cut the down (driver) wire at the switch or motor and connect this wire to the switch side of the
wire.
NOTE: In 4 window mode, this wire is used for programming the module.
H2/3 RED/WHITE: (-) Auxiliary input
Connect this wire to a (-) validity output channel of the security system.
H2/4 ORANGE: (-) Ground when armed
Connect this wire to the (-) ground when armed output of the security system. This wire can also
be connected to an auxiliary channel of the security system to roll the windows up.
NOTE: The window switch inputs on the 535T are not active when the Orange H2/4 wire has a ground.
With Directed remote start systems, the ground while armed wire also activates when the system is remote
started, to prevent the windows rolling up (when the windows are in the down position and the vehicle is
remote started), program off the anti-grind feature on the Directed system.
H2/5 GRAY: (-) 500 mA Output during activation
Connect this wire to an optional relay to bypass sensors which may trigger the security system
during operation of the 535T or connect to the Gray/Black (-) delay of a secondary 535T to have
the windows stagger when closing. This wire continues to output (-) ground for 5 seconds after the
window motors have stopped.

Main Harness 3–Wire Connection Guide
H3/1 WHITE: Ground path, driver window motor up
This wire provides a ground path for the driver motor up side. Connect this wire to a good ground
point in the vehicle (preferably make a ground in the kickpanel that is closest to the 535T).
H3/2 WHITE/BLACK: Ground path, passenger window motor up
This wire provides a ground path for the passenger motor up side. Connect this wire to a good
ground point in the vehicle (preferably make a ground in the kickpanel that is closest to the 535T).
H3/3 GRAY/RED: (-) Stop input
The 535T will cease movement when this wire receives a negative pulse and will not continue
movement when the pulse has gone away. Connect this wire to an optional switch or an auxiliary
output from the security system.
NOTE: Can be used in conjunction with a sunroof limit switch or with an auxiliary out from the host system,
this is an optional connection and is not mandatory..
H3/4 GRAY/BLACK: (-) Delay input
This wire will prevent the 535T from moving the windows as long as it is receiving a ground.
Once the ground is removed, the 535T will begin to move the windows. This can be used with
a secondary 535T to make the windows stagger when arming the security system. For example:
When arming the security system, the front windows will roll up first and 5 seconds after the front
windows are fully closed, the rear windows will start to roll up, or vice versa. The vent and siren
roll up features are also affected by this input. If you have more than one 535T and this wire is
connected, when you vent the windows, 1 set of windows will vent first and then the 2nd set of
windows will vent and if the alarm is triggered with the windows rolled down, the windows will still
be staggered when rolling up from the alarm trigger. This input wire can also be used to delay the
window roll up when the anti-grind feature on a directed system is enabled and the windows roll
up when remote starting. Connecting this wire to the (-) starter output will pause the window roll
up during the crank sequence during remote start and will prevent maximum current draw during
this sequence (see the following diagram for connection details)..
NOTE: This wire is an option and it is not mandatory to connect.

12 © 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.
H3/5 BROWN: (-/+) Siren trigger close input
This wire will roll up the windows when it receives a negative or positive (programmable via dip
switch 5) from the security system’s siren output (programmable via dip switch 6 for warnaway
or full trigger) when the security system has been armed with the windows in the down position.
Connect this wire to the siren output of the security system.
NOTE: This wire is an option and it is not mandatory to connect.

Factory Control Modules (Description)
Some windows use either a central control module, or control modules in each door. These systems
are less common than direct wired systems. These can be found in many newer Volkswagens,
BMWs, Isuzus, Maximas, Grand Cherokees, and many Ford vehicles. If the vehicle has one of
these systems, the 535T must be interfaced between the window switch and the window motor,
effectively eliminating the factory window control module. This often requires the wires to be run
into each door. The 535T monitors the AC “noise” generated by the motion of the motor. For this
reason the 535T cannot drive relays or control modules in the system.

535T Programming
When installation is complete the 535T will need to be programmed to learn the window threshold
of the vehicle.
To program the 535T make sure that dipswitch 1 is in the OFF (2 window) position.
Enter Learn Routine (2 window mode)
1. With the vehicle’s ignition on, temporarily connect the Aux channel input (H2/3 Red/White)
wire to ground. This wire must remain grounded during the entire learn procedure.
2. While the H2/3 Red/White is receiving a ground input, attempt to roll the driver window up
from the master window switch. The window should not roll up. If you have wired the 535T
so that one-touch functionality can operate from each door, this step must be performed at
that door (if installed for rear window control).
3. Continue holding the driver side window “up” switch until the window starts to close, this
should take two to three seconds. If the window does not begin to move, verify that the H2/1
Brown input is receiving (+) or (-) when you press the switch and that the polarity dip switch
is set to the appropriate position.
4. The windows now begin to close and then open a few times one by one while the 535T
attempts to learn the “fully opened” and “fully closed” positions.
5. Once the learn procedure has completed both windows close and then vent to indicate a
successful learn routine.
Exit Learn Routine
The learn routine is immediately canceled and stops window travel under any of the following
conditions:
• H2/3 Red/White ground ceases
• Any window switch is pressed after learn routing has begun
• If the window learn procedure detects a window failure or is unable to detect the “fully
opened” or “fully closed” positions.

16 © 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.
Vent Learn Routine
The Learn Routine must be completed before Vent Learn Routine can be performed.
1. Roll both windows up all the way by holding both switches.
NOTE: The 535T needs to see BOTH switch inputs at the same time to enter programming.
2. Once the windows are all the way up; press and release the driver UP switch six times.
3. Press and hold the driver window DOWN switch until the window reaches the desired vent
position, and then release the switch. Use caution not to activate any OEM “AUTO” down
feature during this step!
4. The 535T records the time the output was active and sets it to memory as the vent time.
5. Two seconds after the vent time is set to memory the 535T rolls up the driver window and
then vents both windows using the learned vent time indicating that the learn routine was
successful.
Exit Vent Learn Routine
Either of the learn routines are exited if any of the following occurs:
• There is no activity on the inputs for more than 15 seconds.
• Incorrect switch input order.
• Any switch input is seen during the learn routine.
• Current threshold exceeds the units capabilities.
• Power loss.

Type A Systems (Description)
The window switch outputs rest at ground. When the switch is not being used, both wires will
show ground when tested. One wire is connected to (+) 12V when the switch is in the up position,
and the other is connected to (+) 12V when the switch is in the down position. This is the most
common type for Domestic and Asian vehicles.

Type B Systems (Description
This system will have a switched wire that goes to (-) ground as the switch is operated, and another
wire which will remain at (+) 12V with ignition. The wire you want to cut and interrupt is the
wire that does not change state, but remains at (+) 12V ignition when the switch is operated in the
desired direction. Remember that using the relay as shown in the diagram effectively changes the
Type B circuit to a Type A circuit only during module activation.

Switch outputs rest open, and both (+) 12V and (-) ground are switched for each direction of
operation. This type of circuit requires 2 relays for each set of windows to supply ground to each
motor circuit. The type is rare, but is found in Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird and also newer
GM pickups and SUVs.
