cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized DEI dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the authorized
DEI dealer to fix the problem.
■ After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized DEI dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE

Arming
You can arm the system by pressing of your transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately twice per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system 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 detects that you have left 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. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate that the system is armed.
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 programmed on. See Programming Options section.)
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Arming your security system protects your vehicle as follows:
■ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away
® signal. When triggered, the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
9
■ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
■ 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 system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).
■ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive 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 system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing (only in Standard Configuration) again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-Level
Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a different security level is selected. The different security levels are selected as follows:
■ Pressing once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
10
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
■ Pressing a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed.
■ Pressing a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed.
■ Pressing a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed.
■ Pressing 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.
NOTE: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle.
Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again.
Arming While Driving
Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle!
Simply press on the transmitter while the vehicle is running.
The siren will chirp once to indicate that the security system is armed, and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond to any input except the door triggers, and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once you have arrived at your destination, the system will disarm when the ignition is turned off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will then stop flashing. The system can also be disarmed at any time by pressing .
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
11
Disarming
To turn off, or disarm the security system, press again. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also unlock. The siren chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics
Section of this guide.
High Security Disarm
Your security system includes a High Security Disarm feature. After
6 seconds of trigger sequence, using the transmitter to disarm the security system will only stop the trigger sequence (the siren will stop and the parking lights will stop flashing). However, the system will remain armed and the doors will stay locked. This is extremely useful if you must stop the system from sounding, but are unable to visually check the vehicle. This feature allows you to silence and reset the security system when it is triggered, without having to disarm the system.
Disarming Without a Transmitter
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet ® switch is located. Be sure to check with your installer at the time of installation for both the location and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet ® switch.
12
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition key on and press the Valet ® switch the preset number of times within
15 seconds. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition off and repeat the process.
DRW-35
IMPORTANT! The Valet ® switch can be programmed to respond to 1-5 presses for the disarm function. You must check with the installer to verify the programming for your individual unit.
LOCATION OF VALET ® SWITCH_____________________________
Silent Mode
Use the Silent Mode to temporarily turn off the arm or disarm confirmation chirps by briefly pressing before either arming or disarming the security system. The confirmation chirp(s) will then be eliminated for that one operation only. To permanently turn off the arm and disarm confirmation chirps, contact your installation dealer.
NOTE: The Warn Away ® Response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using the Silent Mode. This ensures that the siren does not chirp in an environment where you don't want chirps to be emitted. The system is still capable of being triggered by heavier impacts; only the
Warn Away ® Response generated by light impacts is bypassed.

Remote Start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.
IMPORTANT! (1) Never remote start your vehicle when the keys are in the ignition, except when performing Valet ® Take-Over, and (2) Never start the vehicle if it is not in either PARK or NEUTRAL.
Pressing and at the same time will begin the remote start sequence. The parking lights will flash to warn that the motor is about to start. It is important to release the transmitter buttons as soon as the parking lights flash. If the buttons are pressed longer than two seconds, the remote start sequence will stop.
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
15
About three seconds after the parking lights flash, the system will engage the starter until the vehicle is successfully running. If the motor is not running after six seconds, the system will stop cranking the starter. After three seconds, the system will attempt to start the motor again. If your motor is not running after three attempts, the system will stop the remote start sequence. It is not necessary to disarm your system before remote starting the vehicle. The shock sensor will be bypassed whenever the system is running the motor.
IMPORTANT! It is unsafe to operate a vehicle’s motor in a garage or other closed off area. Breathing the exhaust from the vehicle is hazardous to your health. Never activate the remote start in an enclosed space.
Once the remote start system has successfully started the motor, it will turn the climate controls on. The motor will run for the selected period of time and the parking lights will flash or light solid while the motor is running. (See Programming Options Section of this guide.)
Shutting Down The Remote Start System
Pressing and again, during remote start operation, will shut down the remote start system and the motor will turn off. You can also shut down the remote start system by pressing on the brake pedal.

The vehicle engine will shut down and the parking lights will flash four times to confirm that Timer Mode has been exited.
If the vehicle has already been remote started, you may skip
Step One.
Disabling the Remote Start System
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the supplied shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations.

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
Your system has DEI'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: The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor or switch is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within
60 minutes of each other. NPC ™ will interpret this pattern of 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).
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC ™ differently. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.
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 disarming, NPC ™ has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC ™ memory, turn the ignition on.

Safety Features
This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components.
Over and Under Rev Protection
The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may cause the engine to race.
NOTE: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev protection to work.
Shut Down Inputs
This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake pedal will shut down the motor at any time during remote start operation, as well as preventing the remote start from activating while it is being pressed.

Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry will prevent the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.
NOTE: The starter anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is operating the motor and the Failsafe ® Starter Kill relay has been installed.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
Arming Diagnostics
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that the security system ignores the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after
22
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
that input ceases, the security system will resume normal monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal monitoring.
NOTE: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent
Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed by the installer not to sound.
Disarming Diagnostics
Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the
Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection Circuitry ™ has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The security system will retain this information in its memory and chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time that the ignition is turned on.
Table of Zones
A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches that have been installed.

If the Warn Away ® response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
NOTE: Your system stores the last two 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 two zones that were triggered. Contact your dealer for details.
Code Hopping
The receiver and transmitters use a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used.
This technology has been developed to increase the security 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 remote has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may fall out of sync with the con-
24

trol unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote simply press several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally.
High Frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range, even in areas with high radio interference.
Owner Recognition
Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only from DEI ® . Using a DEI ® Bitwriter, 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 without a Bitwriter and the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.

Rapid Resume Logic
This DEI ® 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, 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 operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle's battery and prevents the system from draining the 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 one hour period while the
26
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
system is in Valet ® Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet ® Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off.
Programming Options
Programming options control your system's normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold.
■ Active arming (transmitter only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed).
■ Arming/disarming siren chirps on or off.
■ The ignition controlled door lock feature on or off: When this feature is programmed on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. The system can also be programmed to prevent the door from locking when the ignition is turned on with any door open. If your installer is programming the security system with the DEI ® Bitwriter or a personal computer and the TechSoft ™ Programmer, ignition lock and unlock are independent features and can be programmed separately.

27
■ Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door
locking (only when arming with the transmitter). Passive locking allows the vehicle's doors to lock when the security system passively arms (after the 30-second countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been programmed.
■ Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on.
(Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.)
■ Forced passive arming on or off. If your security system is programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.
NOTE: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system are fully operational.
■ Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system can sound before it is considered a nuisance. If your installer is programming the security system with the DEI ® Bitwriter or a personal computer and the TechSoft ™ Programmer, the full triggered response can be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
■ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off. The purpose of this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
28
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled
30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter will be disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to arm the car with the remote and then disarm it with the remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the “run” position and pressing the Valet ® button the programmed number of times. AED is also disabled when the system is in Valet ® mode.
NOTE: This feature will only function if the FailSafe ® Starter Kill relay has been installed.
■ Siren tones and chirp volume. The output of the Revenger
™ Soft
Chirp ™ siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of these tones can be eliminated by a dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The chirps can be either full volume or 6 decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.
■ The engine can be programmed to run for any duration ranging from 1 to 60 minutes. 12 minutes is the default. After the programmed run time, the engine will shut down and will not restart, unless in Timer Mode.
■ While the remote start system is running the engine, the parking lights of the vehicle can flash on and off or come on and light steadily.

Security & Convenience
Expansions
Listed below are some of the many expansion options available.
Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is established by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can react to any intrusions into this field with the full triggered sequence.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm and keeps the starter kill active if main battery is disconnected.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
Mechanical Hood Lock: Prevents the vehicle’s hood from being opened, keeping thieves away from the system’s siren, the battery connections, and other components under the hood.
Power Trunk Release: The auxiliary output of the system can operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.
Although the on-board relay can control most power trunk releases, sometimes an optional relay is required. If the factory release is not power-activated, DEI's 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added.
30

Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other systems, additional parts may be required.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows, and can roll them up automatically when the system is armed, roll them down, or both up and down.
Glossary of Terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all the alarm's functions.
FailSafe ® Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet ® Mode, or should the starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
© 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
31
LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
Shock Sensor: This system is packaged with a Stinger ™
DoubleGuard ® shock sensor. This sensor is mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system.
Trigger or triggered sequence: This is what happens when the alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light flashing.
Valet ® Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet ® mode.
Warn Away ® response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warn Away ® response. It consists of several seconds of siren chirps and parking light flashes.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
