Installation Procedure

This product is compatible with all Directed Electron-

ics Security, Remote Start and hybrid systems that are

ESP2 compatible (3 or 4-pin).

CAUTIONS

The white plug is

ONLY

for RSR (Remote Start

Ready) applications

For systems with combined 4-pin ESP/D2D ports,

you

CANNOT

use an interface module in D2D

mode when using a SmartStart module. You must

use W2W on the bypass module

There should

NEVER

be more than one data plug

connected from the 3-way harness

DO NOT

cut any of the loops on the SmartStart

Module (unless used for RSR applications)

DO NOT

connect the black 3-pin ESP connector to

white Door Lock port on Directed systems

Customer Information required:

• Record the customer information requested

in step 5a of this procedure. The module ID

# is provided on a sticker which can be af-

fixed to the space provided in step 5a.

• Is this a new account or one being added to

an existing account? Check box(es) in 5a.

This information is required for final verifi-

cation/activation of the VSM200/250 or

DSM200/250.

2.

Installation Points:

• Install and test the security/remote start sys-

tem first using the associated guides and

wiring diagram. If using an existing system,

verify it is fully functional before installing the

Directed SmartStart module.

• For 3000-series Remote Start systems with

no supplied remote control, test the installed

system using the functional commands in the

SmartStart activation portal.

• Mount the SmartStart module as high as pos-

sible in the vehicle (side with color label and

model number facing down). Mount with

minimal obstructions that can affect commu-

nications and within reach of the main Di-

rected system using the provided cables (do

not extend).

• DO NOT connect the SmartStart module un-

til the final programming of the Remote Start

main unit and verification of security/remote

start system operations are completed.

Signal Strength (RSSI)
The module's signal strength (RSSI) can be viewed in the

activation portal after a successful transmission test. This field is

displayed on the webpage as "RSSI: XX dB" with XX being the

numeric variable. Use the range guide (at right) to determine

the signal strength. Monitor this signal during installation to

ensure the device is mounted in a location which maximizes

signal strength with minimal interference.

GPS location accuracy should also be checked on the activa-

tion portal when activating DSM/VSM250 modules.

Quick Reference

VSM200/250, DSM200/250

-50 to -90 dB

-91 to -100 dB

> -100 dB

= good signal strength

= borderline/inconsistent signal strength

= weak, insufficient signal strength
