installation points to remember

This product represents many years of research and development. It is very sophisti-
cated and should be installed by experienced security installers only. Please do not
attempt installation of this product without reading this guide. The system has been de-
signed to provide the ultimate in security, coupled with limitless convenience and ex-
pansion options.

This product is not intended for consumer installation and will have NO WARRANTY
unless it is installed by an authorized dealer.

Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft coded radio. If equipped
with an airbag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible.

IMPORTANT! Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installa-
tion. The installation of this security system requires interfacing with many of the vehi-
cle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems which can
be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights or logic probes. Test
all circuits with a high-quality digital multi-meter before making the connections.

MPORTANT! Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warn-
IM
ing light after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be
erased, a procedure that can require a trip to the dealer.

before beginning the installation:

z Check with the customer to determine the LED and Valet switch locations.
z Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
z Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

after the install:

z Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s Guide is very
helpful when testing.
z When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry.
NPC™ can bypass both sensor zones, making them seem to stop working.
z Carefully reassemble the under-dash trim panels.
z Inspect the engine compartment for tools that may have been left behind.

tools required
This is a general list of tools required to complete the installation of this security sys-
tem in most vehicles. Some vehicles may require additional tools.

deciding on component location

control module
Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash panel to
access the starter and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the
driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.

When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require
you to extend the harnesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the
heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.

Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console,
above the underdash fuse box, above the radio, etc.

5
valet/program switch
Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has
sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should
be well hidden. It should be placed so passengers
or stored items (such as in a glove box or center
console) cannot accidentally hit it. The switch fits in
a 9/32" hole.

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch
is located and how to disarm the system with it.

status LED
Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:

• It should be visible from both sides and the

rear of the vehicle, if possible.
• It needs at least 1/2" clearance to the rear.
• It is easiest to use a small removable panel,
such as a switch blank or a dash bezel.
Remove it before drilling your 9/32" hole.
• Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if
the panel is removable. This allows mechan-
ics or other installers to remove the panel
without cutting the wires.

starter kill relay

If the Starter Kill Relay or it’s connections are immediately visible upon removal of the
underdash panel, they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its con-
nections difficult to discern from the factory wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do
not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason, routing the starter
kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

connecting your wires
Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to
find the wires in the car that the security system will be connected to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in
this manual is described using a digital multimeter.

obtaining constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery,
or the constant supply to the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of
this connection.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red (H1/11) wire. It ensures that
the control module has it’s own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many
accessories are added to the main power feed.

finding the 12V switched ignition wire

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is
because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the
fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires, on the other
hand, lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available
to the starter motor. Use the following procedure to find (+)12V with your multimeter.

© 2005 directed electronics, inc.

7
 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire.
The steering column harness or ignition switch harness is
an excellent place to find this wire.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your
meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe
another wire.
5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter dis-
play should stay steady, not dropping by more than a few
tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero,
go back to step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have
found an ignition wire.

finding a parking light wire

The parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built
into the turn signal lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the
steering column. The same wire is often available in the kick panel or running board.

(+) parking light wire

Use the following procedure to find (+) parking light wire with your multimeter.

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V

is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to
chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the
parking light wire. Usually, the area
near the headlight/parking light switch
is an excellent area to start, as is the
kick panel.
4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights
and make sure it goes back to zero.
5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light
dimmer control, turn the brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter

8
 changes more than a volt when using the dimmer, look for another wire. If it
stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.
(-) parking light wire

Use the following procedure to find (-) parking light wire with your multimeter.

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V

is fine).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to
+12V.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the
parking light wire. Usually, the area
near the headlight/parking light switch
is an excellent area to start, as is the
kick panel.
4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights
and make sure it goes back to zero.
5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light
dimmer control, turn the brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter
changes more than a volt when using the dimmer, look for another wire. If it
stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

finding the door pin switch circuit

The best places to find the door switch wire are:

At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees”
all the doors. Often, the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s
switch will not.

At the dome light: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight
supervision, but it will work in vehicles with completely diode-isolated pin switches.

Often the door switch wires, described above, can also be found in the windshield pil-
lars, running boards or kick plates.

Use the following procedure to find the door pin switch wire with your multimeter.

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

9
2. In most cars, fasten the (+) probe of your meter to (+)12V constant.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads
(+)12V when any door is opened and the meter goes to 0 with the door closed,
you have found a trigger wire.

NOTE: Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer vehicles lack
standard-type pinswitches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door
handle is lifted. These usually have a wire coming out of the door into the kick panel
which will provide a (-) trigger for all doors.

main harness wiring guide
H1/1 ORANGE (-) 500 mA ground-when-armed output: This wire supplies a (-)
ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is
disarmed. This wire controls operation of the pre-wired starter kill relay and can be
used to control other optional accessories.

NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as a 529T or
530T window controller, a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required. Insert the
diode as shown below.

IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire.

H1/2 WHITE light flash output: As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+)
parking light wire. It will supply a (+) 10A output. If the light flash polarity fuse jumper
inside the unit is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Jumpers), this wire sup-
plies a (-) 10A output. This is suitable for driving (-)parking light wires.

NOTE: A dual diode harness assembly is provided (Viper model only) for European
vehicles which have parking light capability for illumination of only the parking lights
on the side of the vehicle to the road when parked.

H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input: Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits.
Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In
vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is
unaffected by the delay circuitry.

H1/6 BLUE (-) instant trigger: This input will respond to a negative input with an
instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will report on zone one.

H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input: This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive
(+) switched dome light circuit . Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V
when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed.

13
H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection: Connect this wire to bare metal,
preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. Screws tend to either
strip or loosen with time. All components, should be grounded to the same point
in the vehicle if possible.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input: Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This
wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during cranking. Take care
to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the vehicle chassis at any point.

14
H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output: Connect this to the red wire of the siren. Connect
the black wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground, preferably at the same point you con-
nected the control module’s black ground wire.

H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input: Before connecting this wire, remove the
supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply to
the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not
use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

H1/12 RED/WHITE (-) 200mA auxiliary channel/delayed accessory output: If pro-

grammed for an auxiliary output, this wire will provide a (-) pulse when the lock but-
ton on the factory transmitter is pressed twice within three seconds. This output can be
used to control optional accessories. If programmed for delayed accessory output, this
wire will provide (-) ground when the ignition is turned off and will continue to output
(-) ground until a door is opened then closed. This can be used to energize the acces-
sory circuit in the vehicle to keep the radio and other accessories on after the ignition
is turned off.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!
This transistorized output can only supply (-) 200 mA, and connecting directly to a sole-
noid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

NOTE: Sensors and other triggers can be bypassed if this output is used to open the
vehicle trunk while the alarm is armed. See H2/5 Gray zone shunting for program-
ming and connection descriptions.

auxiliary harness wiring guide

H2/1 BROWN (-) horn honk output: This wire supplies a 200 mA (-) output that can
be used to honk the vehicle’s horn. It provides a pulsed output when the security sys-
tem is armed/disarmed and in the triggered sequence or in panic mode. In most vehi-
cle’s with (-) horn circuits this wire can control the vehicle’s horn without adding a
relay. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, an optional relay must be used to interface
with the vehicle’s horn circuit.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!
This transistorized output can only supply (-) 200 mA, and connecting directly to a sole-
noid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

H2/2 GREEN for arm input: Connect this GREEN wire to a wire that changes state when
the doors are locked using the factory keyless entry transmitter. This wire can accept a
positive (+) or negative (-) input. The vehicle’s power door lock motor wire is ideal.

H2/3 RED disarm defeat input: This wire is used to prevent the interior door lock
switches from disarming the system. To determine the best location to interface this
wire, first test the operation of the remote keyless entry system. When unlocking the
doors with the factory remote transmitter, does the driver’s door unlock first? Most

16
vehicles operate this way. If this is the case connect the RED wire to the passenger
unlock motor wire. When testing this wire be sure that it shows 12V (+) ONLY when
the unlock button on the factory transmitter is pressed the second time to unlock the
passenger doors. If the factory keyless entry system unlocks all of the doors at the
same time, it is recommended that the H2/7 YELLOW/BLACK wire be used for dis-
arm defeat input.

NOTE: The H2/3 wire connection is not required if using H2/7 YELLOW/BLACK as a
disarm defeat wire.

H2/4 BLUE disarm input: Connect the BLUE wire to a wire that changes state when the
doors are unlocked using the factory keyless entry transmitter. If the factory transmitter
unlocks the driver’s door first, the BLUE wire must be connected to the wire that changes
state when the driver’s door is unlocked by itself. In this case, find the driver’s door
unlock motor wire. In most vehicle’s this wire can be found in the driver’s kick panel.

NOTE: Some vehicles (some of the Honda, GM and Ford) have long door lock puls-
es. These long pulses may interfere with the disarm function of this system when unlock-
ing all doors using the factory OEM remote. Use the supplied door unlock pulse
adapter for these vehicles. Refer to the diagram below.

H2/5 GRAY trunk release/sensor shunt input: This input is used to bypass the sensor
inputs when the trunk is opened using the factory keyless entry system or trunk release
relay while armed. When the system receives a (+) input on this wire, zones 1, 2 and
4 are bypassed for 3-seconds. If during that 3-seconds, ground is applied to the H1/6

17
BLUE wire then the alarm zones are bypassed (See Feature menu 1/8) and will
remain bypassed until the ground input is removed. This means that when the trunk is
open with the factory transmitter the only triggers that remain active while the trunk is
open are the doors and ignition. 3-seconds after the trunk is closed the bypassed
zones again become active.

H2/6 VIOLET/BLACK no function.

H2/7 YELLOW/BLACK light flash monitor input: This input monitors the factory sys-
tem light flash output and can be used as a disarm defeat wire. Connect this wire to
the light flash wire that flashes when the factory transmitter is used. This may be a sta-
tus LED, parking lights, reverse lights, etc., depending on the vehicle type and manu-
facturer. This wire can accept a (+) positive or (-) negative input.

keyless entry systems—three types

There are three main types of keyless entry systems. Systems that unlock the driver’s
door first and have internal relays, systems that unlock the driver’s door first but have
external relays, and systems without driver’s priority door unlock.

external relays—driver’s door unlock
This system is used in many four-door GM sedans. To test for this type of system, probe
the unlock wire from the interior switch (black or white). Unlock the driver’s door, by
itself, using the factory remote. If the switch wire shows (+) 12V, then use the follow-
ing diagram:

NOTE: It is often easy to access the passenger unlock wire going to the rear door
motor on the driver’s side.

19
no priority—driver’s door unlock
This type of keyless entry system is common in import vehicles as well as many Jeep
vehicles. When unlocking the doors with the transmitter all doors unlock at the same
time. It is recommended to use H2/7 YELLOW/BLACK wire for Disarm Defeat instead
of the H2/3 RED wire. This input wire monitors the factory system light flash output.
Connect this wire to the light flash wire that flashes when the factory transmitter is
used. This may be a status LED, parking lights, reverse lights, etc., depending on the
vehicle type and manufacturer. Do NOT connect this wire to the domelight. This wire
can accept a (+) positive or (-) negative input.

For installation, please refer to the diagram below.

The super bright LED operates at (+) 2 volt DC and plugs into the two-pin WHITE port.
Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged.
Multiple LED’s can be used, but they must be wired in series. The LED fits into a 9/32-
inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling the mounting hole.

NOTE: Never use a BLUE LED in combination with a RED LED.

transmitter, the button can be well hidden. Consider how the button will be used
before choosing a mounting location. Check for rear clearance before drilling a
9/32-inch hole and mounting the button.The GRAY wire in the two-pin plug may also
be used as a (+) ghost switch input and can be connected to any (+) switch in the vehi-
cle. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.)

BLUE, GREEN wires

The blue and green wires are multiplex inputs. They are both tied to the same zone.
If an input of less than 0.8 seconds is supplied to either wire the Warn-Away®
response will occur. An input longer than 0.8 seconds to either wire will initiate the
triggered sequence and report zone 4. This port can be used for optional sensors such
as: the 506T—glass breakage sensor, or the 504D—field disturbance sensor.

door lock learn routine

Before the unit will respond to the factory remote keyless system, it must learn the
polarity of the door lock wires. To learn the lock polarity:

NOTE: It is important that all the INPUT signals to the control module are in the rest sta-
tus state (no activity) before entering the learn routine.

23
to learn lock:

NOTE: Make sure the doors, hood and trunk are closed so the factory RKE system oper-
ates as it would when the user is using it.

1. With all the doors, hood and trunk closed: Press and HOLD the Valet® button.

2. Within 5-seconds: Turn the ignition On and then Off (leave for less than 2-seconds
in the on position).

3. Within 5-seconds: Release the Valet® button.

4. Within 5-seconds: Press and release the Valet® button once.

5. Within 5-seconds: Press and HOLD the Valet® button. The LED will flash to indicate

on-board dual stage shock sensor

Less Sensitive More Sensitive

There is a dual-stage shock sensor inside the control module. Adjustments are made via
the rotary control as indicated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when
mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module. The
full trigger of the onboard shock sensor reports zone 2. See Table of Zones.

NOTE: When adjusting the sensor, it must be in the same mounting location that it will
be after the install is completed. Adjusting the sensor and then relocating the module
requires readjustment.

example, if zone 2 and 3 were the last two zones to be triggered, the LED will flash
two times followed by a pause and then flash three times followed by a pause.

NOTE: The Warn Away® response does not report on the LED.

The Long Term Event History will exit if the ignition is turned off or there is no activity
for 60-seconds.

rapid resume logic

The current state of the alarm will be stored in non-volatile memory. If power is lost
and then reconnected, the system will recall the stored state from memory (arm, dis-
arm, and Valet® mode).

B-1 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: These settings control whether the system
arms passively in the event a door is left open accidentally by the user. Passive
arming must be programmed on for this feature to work.
• Forced passive arming ON (Default): in this setting if passive arming is pro-
grammed on and a zone is active (door open) after the ignition is turned off, the
system will bypass the zone after 1 hour, then arm and monitor the rest of the
security zones.
• Forced passive arming OFF: in this setting the system will not passive arm if
any zone is left open after the ignition is turned off.

B-2 NUISANCE PREVENTION CIRCUITRY™ (NPC™) ON/OFF: These settings con-

trol the number of times a sensor can trigger the system within a given time peri-
od.
• NPC ON (Default): in this setting any sensor that triggers more than 3 times
within a 1 hour period will be bypassed for a minimum of 1 hour. If within that
1 hour the system sees the same sensor trigger again it will not activate the siren
and will restart the 1 hour timer.
• NPC OFF: in this setting the sensors will trigger repeatedly until the system is
disarmed.
B-3 DEALER SECURITY FEATURES ON/OFF. This feature is not available on this
model.
B-4 TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING UNLOCKED/LOCKED: This feature is not
available on this model.
B-5 FEATURE PROGRAMMING UNLOCKED/LOCKED:
• Unlocked (default): In this setting the features can be changed using the Valet
switch and the vehicle OEM transmitter.
• Locked: in this setting the features can not be changed using the Valet switch
and the vehicle OEM Transmitter. If locked, the unit will emit 1 long chirp when
trying to enter feature programming.

menu #1
1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: These settings control the systems mode of arming.
• Active arming mode (default): the system will only arm when the transmitter is
used.
• Passive arming mode: the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the
last door is closed or can be armed anytime using the transmitter.

1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This setting controls the systems arming & disarming chirps.
• Chirps ON (default): the system will emit chirps when arming and disarming.
• Chirps OFF: the system will NOT emit chirps when arming and disarming.

1-3 DOOR TRIGGER ERROR CHIRP ON/OFF: These settings control the warning
chirp that is generated if the system is armed with the door trigger input active,
either due to an open door or factory delayed dome light circuit.
• Error chirp ON (default): The siren will emit a single chirp and bypass the
active input when arming the system.
• Error chirp OFF: The siren will NOT emit a chirp due to an active input when
arming and will bypass the active input. This setting is helpful for vehicles with
factory delayed dome lights.
A few seconds after the input stops (delay dome light off, door closed) the system
will again monitor the door trigger input.

1-4 IGNITION-CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT ON/OFF: These settings control whether

or not the dome light illuminates when turning the ignition off.
• IGN dome light ON (default): The dome light will illuminate for 30 seconds
each time the ignition is turned off
• IGN dome light OFF: The dome light will only turn on when disarming the
system and turn off when the ignition is turned on.

1-5 PANIC/AUXILIARY OUTPUT ENABLED: These settings change the systems abili-
ty to activate panic mode or the Channel 2 output.
• Panic mode enabled (Default): in this setting if the system sees the vehicle doors
lock 2 times rapidly the Panic mode will be activated for the programmed siren
duration.
• Auxiliary channel output: in this setting the auxiliary channel output described
in Feature #6 will be activate as programmed.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc.
34
1-6 AUXILIARY/DELAYED ACCESSORY OUTPUT: These settings change Red/white
auxiliary output operation.
• Auxiliary output (default): in this setting if the system sees the vehicle doors lock
2 times rapidly the red/wht auxiliary channel will activate for 800mS. This is
useful for adding trunk release option.
• Delay accessory output: In this setting the red/wht auxiliary channel will turn
on a few seconds after the ignition is turned on and remain on until a door is
opened/closed, the system is armed or 1 hour lapses.

1-7 DELAYED/INSTANT DOOR TRIGGER: These setting control the siren output
when the system is set off by the door trigger input.
• Delay ON (default) in this setting if the door is opened while the system is
armed the siren will chirp 10 times prior to the constant siren output. This is still
an instant trigger and closing the door quickly will not stop the trigger sequence.
• Delay Off: in this setting if the door is opened while the system is armed the
siren will emit a constant siren output immediately

1-8 SENSOR SHUNT ZONES 1, 2 AND 4/ALL ZONES: These settings define which
zones are bypassed when opening the trunk while the system is armed.
• Sensor zones 1, 2 & 4 (default): in this setting zones 1, 2 & 4 are shunted
when the H2/5 gray wire sees a +12V input moments before H1/6 blue sees a
ground input.
• All zones: in this setting ALL zones are shunted when the H2/5 gray wire sees
a +12V input moments before H1/6 blue sees a ground input. ALL zones will be
bypassed until 5 seconds after the ground ceases on the blue wire.

1-9 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS: These settings change the siren output
from 30 seconds to 60 seconds duration when in the panic mode and when the
system is fully triggered. The siren duration can also be programmed from 1-180
seconds in 1 second increments using the Bitwriter®.

1-10 VALET® PULSE COUNT 1-5 PULSES: These settings change the number of times
the valet switch must be pressed to disarm the system without a transmitter.
• 1 pulse (default): setting is 1 pulse.
• 2-5 pulses: these settings will make it more difficult for a thief to defeat the
system.

2-3 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: These settings control whether the doors lock when
the system arms passively. Passive arming must be programmed on for this fea-
ture to work.
• Passive locking OFF (default): in this setting the doors will not lock when the
system arms passively. They will only lock when the transmitter is used to arm the
system.
• Passive locking ON: in this setting the doors WILL lock when the system arms
passively. The doors can also be locked when using the transmitter to arm the
system.

NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds
after the last door is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until
30 seconds after the door has been closed.
