Introduction to the System
Congratulations for your choice of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle security and convenience system available today, the Crime Guard 850i5 by Omega Research and Development. To enjoy the most from your new system, please take a few moments to learn about the principal user components, and the basic operation of the system. These subjects are found in next several pages, followed by more detailed specifics of complete operations and features.
One of the components, typically mounted on the windshield, is the Window Unit module which contains the Status Lights and the Valet Switch. The window unit also receives and transmits the Echo technology communications for the system’s 2-way operation.
The multicolored Status Lights report the operational status of the system at all times, and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific description of the Status Light operation may be found on pages 20-21.
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security functions, including any automatic arming or locking features (if used), and/or remote engine starting functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet Mode”; the later is “Starting Valet Mode” .
The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security system in the event the transmitter or transceiver is lost or becomes inoperable. This is referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.
The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational features and also for encoding transmitters and transceivers to the system.
A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages 17-19.
The system can operated by two types of devices: the 2-Way Controller and the 1-Way Transmitter. Your system comes with one of each of these, pre-learned to operate the system. The controller, in addition to operating your system, also receives signals from the system, and displays a variety of system conditions on its LCD screen. This is the patented Echo 2-way technology. The transmitter will fully operate the system, but it can not receive signals nor report events from the vehicle. Your system can be operated by as many as four controllers and/or transmitters.
The controller and the transmitter both share the same four operational buttons, and their use to operate the Crime Guard system is the same. These buttons and a brief description of what they do are:

Switch
this is done will the system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle must remain undisturbed until that point. The complete instructions for remote starting, including Stick Shift Remote Starting, starts on page 40. This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s parking brake. Please refer to the Installation Instructions manual for proper connection of this wire.
Note: Feature #4, Turbo Timer, and Feature #5, Stick Shift Remote Starting, may both be used together in the 850i5.
Feature #6 “Tach Wire” or “Tachless” Starter Operation
Factory Default Setting Tachless (press arm/lock” button to program) Option: Tach Wire (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
This feature selects the 850i5 processor’s method of determining the status of the engine running during remote start operation. As explained in the previous feature’s description, “Tachless” mode has an associated base starter output time duration. However, if the voltage fluctuation is detectable, the processor adjusts the starter output time accordingly. When this feature is set for “Tach Wire” operation, the base starter output increases to 3 seconds, but the processor adjusts the actual starter engagement time accordingly. Connecting and use of the “Tach Wire” is the most reliable form of engine running information input, and its use is recom­mended. This feature should only be programmed by the installer. Important: Before this feature is programmed, please refer to the “Installation Manual” for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learning Procedure, both of which are required for use of this feature.
Feature #7 Extended Starter Cranking Time
Factory Default Setting Minimum (.7 Second)
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Medium Lo (1.25 Second) (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Medium Hi (1.75 Second) (press “II” button to program) Maximum (2.5 Second) (press “III” button to program)
Extended Starter Cranking Time operates in conjunction with the previous feature’s “Tachless” setting. The Crime Guard 850i5 processor is capable of detecting the running engine by two separate methods- the use of the vehicle’s tachometer (“tach”) wire for a direct engine RPM input, or by monitoring the vehicle’s fluctuating voltage levels caused by the starting process. This feature sets the duration of the starter output’s base timing for the voltage sensing type of starter output operation. There are four different base starter output settings. While the default-set minimum is sufficient for most vehicles; the Extended Starter Cranking

Feature #3 Horn Relay Functions
Factory Default Setting Horn Output
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Door Unlock (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Ignition Output (press “II” button to program) Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)
This is the second of two built-in relays which can be programmed to perform several different functions. The primary function of this second relay, is that it is available to operate the vehicle’s existing horn; either in conjunction with the electronic siren, or in place of the siren. Using both the siren and the horn creates an extremely effective security system.
Optionally, if desired or needed, this relay can be programmed to be a door
unlock relay, or as additional medium-capacity ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.
Feature #4 Turbo Timer
Factory Default Setting Off
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Run 1 Minute (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Run 2 Minutes (press “II” button to program) Run 3 Minutes (press “III” button to program)
This feature, the operation of which is described on page 16, when turned on configures the 850i5 to automatically keep the engine running briefly after it is turned off. This operation is designed specifically for vehicles having turbocharged engines (the user may temporarily bypass the feature if desired). This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s parking brake. Please refer to the Installation Instructions manual for proper connection of this wire.
Feature #5 Stick Shift Remote Starting
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This feature changes the parameters of the 850i5’s remote start operation to be suitable for manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a “setup” procedure which must be followed upon exiting the vehicle. When this feature is turned on, the operator must set the parking brake and then press the controller or transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons at the same time, which keeps the engine running after removing the ignition key. After exiting, the user must then arm the system, locking the vehicle doors, by pressing the “arm/lock” button. Only after

- IMPORTANT -
The Crime Guard 850i5 is the most versatile vehicle security system made. It has many programmable features and includes built-in programmable relays, which can offer more features and opera­tions which are described in the basic system instructions. To a large degree, these extra features and operations are config­ured at the installation of the system. Please read the sections of this manual which explain programmable features, and please consult your installer for specifics on how your system is config­ured, and for installation options which may have used, or can be added to system after installation. EXAMPLE- the 850i5 can sound the vehicle’s horn in place of or in addition to the electronic siren which is included with it. But the operations are described with the siren only.
The “Echo” operation of the 850i5 the 2-Way Controller receiving and reacting to signals from the system in the vehicle, is included in the following general system operation descriptions; the Echo’s icons and its programming are detailed on pages 22-24.
Page - 6
The first setting (programmed by the “ arm/lock” button) has the system
produce both the lock and unlock outputs as .8 second in duration. This is the most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.
The second setting (programmed by the “disarm/unlock” button) changes the
lock and unlock outputs to be a longer 3 second pulse output. This is for certain vehicles which require a longer output pulse from the system’s control unit; typically cars having vacuum pump systems, although the longer setting is also more suitable in some newer vehicles.
Some newer vehicles require a double pulse output to remotely unlock the doors and/or to disarm a factory-equipped security system, which is what the Double Pulse Unlock setting provides (it is programmed by the “II” button ). The lock output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.
The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “III” button) may be used with vehicles which are originally equipped with the total-closure feature. Typically, a total closure feature is when locking the vehicle’s doors if the key in the door is held to “lock” for a period of time the vehicle will close all windows and the sunroof, in addition to locking the doors. Selecting this feature setting changes the system’s door lock output pulse from a .8 second to as long as a 28 second duration output. The unlock output is 3 seconds in this setting.
Note: When this feature is turned on, during the 28 second period after arm­ing the system, the lock output can be stopped on demand by pressing the “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” button. Only the output will stop- pressing either button again will normally operate the system, and at any time after the
28 second lock output period ends. If either of the programmable relays are set for lock or unlock operation (the next two Installer Programmable Features), the settings if this feature will operate the programmable relays accordingly, in addition to the primary system doorlocking outputs.
Feature #2 Light Relay Functions
Factory Default Setting Dome Light Output
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Door Lock (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Ignition Output (press “II” button to program) Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)
The Crime Guard 850i5 has two built-in relays, which can be programmed to perform several different functions. The primary function of this relay, is to operate the vehicle’s dome, or interior lighting as part of the system’s operations. Option­ally, if desired or needed, this relay can be programmed to be a door lock relay, or as medium-capacity ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.

Using the Crime Guard System
Your Crime Guard system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its contents. “Arming” your system turns on its protection, disabling the vehicle’s starter and locking the doors. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho siren and flashing the parking and interior lights to attract attention. The unique and patented “2-in-1” Psyren psycho siren actually produces the sounds of two different sirens at once, ensuring that it won’t be ignored like all of the other “common” car alarms. Disarming the system turns off the protection, unlocking the doors and turning on the parking and interior lights, allowing lighted access to, and normal use of, the vehicle.
There are two methods of arming the Crime Guard: 1- The first method is to use the controller* or transmitter, by pressing and
releasing the “arm/lock” button. The system must not already be armed or be
in Valet Mode, and the vehicle’s ignition key must be off. 2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to
automatically arm itself every time you exit the vehicle. This method of arming
is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired. Regardless of how it became armed, if the system is armed the window unit’s Status
Light flashes in the red color.
*If the 2-way controller is used to operate the system, it will receive a signal back and confirm that the operation was performed.
Arming Using the Controller or Transmitter
The system can always be armed from the controller or transmitter, if the ignition key is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press and release the “arm/lock” button once.
The system’s reaction: The parking and interior lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash red, confirming that the system is armed.* In addition, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt will engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.
If the controller was used: Immediately after the system responds the con­troller will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed), the “ARM” icon will appear, the “locked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have locked, and the number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.
*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with doorlocks connected, and he interior lights must be connected. The vehicle horn may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.
