Directed Electronics VSM200 Quick Reference Install Manual

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

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.

of the
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.
