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 Time can be
used for difficult-to-start engines. This feature should only be pro-
grammed by the installer.
Note: “Base timing” is the maximum time period that the AL-1610-EDP will
engage the starter, but only if it does not detect the engine has started
running.
Feature #8 Programmable Remote Start Relay
Factory Default Setting Ignition Output
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:

Introduction
Welcome to the convenience and protection which is offered by your AL1610-EDP vehicle security system. The AL-1610-EDP is designed and
manufactured by Omega Research and Development, a world leader in
vehicle convenience and security since 1975. Your system offers easy,
carefree operation, and the modular design allows its many impressive
features to be customized to suit your needs. This sophisticated, state-ofthe-art product deters theft of your vehicle, and its contents. Omega
systems are designed for professional installation, and are available only
through new car retail outlets and selected mobile electronics specialist
dealers.
Please note that this guide is written to reflect:
- That a power doorlock interface is installed with your system
(the AL-1610-EDP also operates your power doorlocks). The type
of interface may vary from one vehicle to the other, and in some
cases may involve optional components.
- That an electronic siren is used for the system’s audible
output; the AL-1610-EDP operating the vehicle's existing horn is also
an available option.
- That the Programmable Features are in the default settings;
the operations of these features are also explained.
Your AL-1610-EDP system has three principal user components: the
multicolored LED Status Light, the Valet Switch, and the Remote Trans-
mitter.
The Red & Green Status Light informs you at a glance which of the
different conditions the security system is in, and also serves as a visual
deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific operations of this light are
described on pages 22-23.
The Valet Switch is used to access Valet Mode, which allows the
operator to suspend some of the security system's normal functions for as
long as desired. The Valet Switch may also be used, instead of the remote
transmitter, to override an armed and activated system. The Valet Switch
is also used when programming remote transmitters and system features.
See “Using the Valet Switch” on pages 19 and 20.
Transmitters are used to operate the AL-1610-EDP. Each system is
capable of being operated by up to four different remote Transmitters, which
are described on pages 6-7. The remote transmitter has four push-
Page - 4
press the 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 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 14.
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 #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 AL-1610-EDP’s method of determining the status
of the engine running during remote start operation. As explained in the
next 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 “||” button to program)
Maximum (2.5 Second) (press red “|||” button to program)
Extended Starter Cranking Time operates in conjunction with the previous
feature’s “Tachless” setting. The AL-1610-EDP 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
Page - 41
to be a door lock relay, or as medium-capacity ignition or accessory outputs,
if needed for remote starting use.
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 “||” button to program)
Accessory Output (press red “|||” 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 “||” button to program)
Run 3 Minutes (press red “|||” button to program)
This feature, the operation of which is described on page 17, when turned
on configures the AL-1610-EDP 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 AL-1610-EDP’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
Page - 40
button switches, each being labeled with an icon as to function.
However, a popular upgrade option supplementing the standard transmitter is the Echo 2-way controller. The Echo, in addition to operating your
system, also receives signals from the system, and displays a variety of
system conditions on its LCD screen. A section of this booklet describes
operating the AL-1610-EDP with the Echo.
The Status Lights & Valet Switch
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 the transmitter’s commands to
operate the system.
The 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
22-23.
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 19-20.

Remove the small screw from the lower
back case, and separate the transmitter
case halves. Replace the CR2016 coin-
type batteries (2)and reassemble the
transmitter.
• 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 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 “||” button ). The lock output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.
• The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “|||” button) may
be used with vehicles which are originally equipped with the totalclosure 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 stoppressing 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
Options:
Door Lock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Ignition Output (press “||” button to program)

- IMPORTANT -
The AL-1610-EDP 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 AL-1610-EDP 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.
Page - 7
Using the AL-1610-EDP System
Your AL-1610-EDP 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 AL-1610-EDP:
1- The first method is to use the 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 system’s
Status Light flashes in the red color.
Arming Using the Transmitter
The system can always be armed from the 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.
15 Minutes (press “||” button to program)
20 Minutes (press red “|||” button to program)
This feature sets the period of time that the engine will run after being
remotely started. If the engine is not stopped by transmitter command or a
safety circuit violation, the engine will automatically stop upon the expiration
of the selected time period. Caution: The remote engine starting feature
should NEVER be used when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed
structure or garage.
Feature #23 Steady/Flashing Lights During Remote Start
Factory Default Setting Steady (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Flashing (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
This Feature configures the system's operation of the vehicle’s parking
lights when the engine is running after it has been remotely started. The
factory default setting has the parking lights illuminating steady during the
engine run time; the other setting flashes the parking lights on and off during
the engine run time.
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.
*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with
doorlocks and the interior lights connected. The vehicle horn may used in place
of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.
The AL-1610-EDP’s separate “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button
design allows repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/

This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by a door being opened. The AntiCarjacking protection, including the three ways to initiate it are described on
pages 24 & 25.
Feature #19 Remote Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection
Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by a signal from the transmitter (or
optional 2-way controller). The Anti-Carjacking protection, including the
three ways to initiate it are described on pages 24 & 25.
Feature #20 Open Door Warning Upon Arming
Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
When this feature is turned on, if one of the vehicle's doors is open at the
time that the system is armed via the transmitter, the siren will chirp 3 times
and the parking lights will flash 3 times instead of once.
Feature #21 Red “|||” button Operation
Factory Default Setting Pa nic

lock” button will simply rearm the system, and vice versa when pressing the
“disarm/unlock” button.
Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any system sensing circuit is inoperable,
that circuit only will automatically be bypassed. When an unsecured
sensing circuit is in a bypassed state, all other normally operating circuits
will be protected. Should the bypassed circuit become secured, it will
automatically be reinstated for protection 5 seconds later. When certain
protection circuits are bypassed, such as the hood/trunk and impact sensor,
and the system is armed, it will indicate this by chirping the siren three time
and flashing the parking lights three times instead of the normal arming
indication of one chirp and one flash.
For example, should the trunk be open, you can still arm the system with
the transmitter, and in this case the arming indicator will be 3 siren chirps
and 3 parking light flashes. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming
the system with the transmitter.
Sensor Bypass: When arming the AL-1610-EDP system with the
transmitter, you may conveniently and easily temporarily deactivate the
impact sensor without affecting the system’s other sensing circuits. To
deactivate the sensor, arm the system by pressing the “arm/lock” button,
then press and release the transmitter’s “
||” button within three seconds.
You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that the security system has
armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next time the system
is armed normally with one “arm/lock” button press, the sensor will again
be part of your protection.
Automatic “Last Door Arming” of the System
The AL-1610-EDP can also be programmed to automatically arm itself,
and in this process, to lock or not lock the doors. When this feature is
utilized, closing the vehicle's last door will cause the siren to chirp once,
the parking and interior lights to flash once and the Status Light to start
rapidly flashing red. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp again and the
lights will flash again, the doors will lock (which is separately programmable) and the Status Light will slow to a steady red flash, confirming that
the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened before the
single siren chirp at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming process stops, and
will reset to start over when the point of entry is again closed. All protected
entries must be closed to initiate the Last Door Arming sequence.
To temporarily prevent the system from automatically Last Door Arming,
Page - 9Page - 36
you have these options: put the system into Alarm Valet Mode (page 19),
leave the door open, or, in most cases turning on the dome light may cause
the system to detect that your door is still open. Leaving the ignition key
turned "on" is not recommended.
Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not have
to remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle,
and using it may entitle you to an insurance discount (please check with
your agent or carrier).
While the System is Armed, and should it Trigger
While the security system is armed, the Status Light flashes red in color.
Should any intrusion attempt be detected, the system will instantly activate,
or "trigger". Once triggered, the AL-1610-EDP loudly sounds the siren and
flashes the parking and interior lights on and off.
When it is first triggered, the Status Light changes its red flash pattern,
and the doors will automatically relock. Should a door be open when the
system triggers, it will wait until the door is closed, and at that time relock
the doors. The automatic relocking of the doors denies access to the thief,
and is just one of the many exclusive patented features of the AL-1610EDP. The siren will sound and the parking and interior lights will flash for
30 seconds unless you disarm the system first (60, 90 and 120 seconds
activated periods are options- see Feature #11, page 34). If all protected
entries are secure at the end of the 30 seconds, the system will stop and
rearm itself, ready to detect further entry attempts. If there is a protected
entry still open or the impact sensor still in a violated state at the end of 30
seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 30 second cycles. In this
case the system will stop after a total of 3 cycles and rearm automatically,
and then ignore only the open entry or violated sensor. When the entry is
closed or the sensor is reset, protection will begin instantly for the formerly
affected circuit.
Anytime the security system triggers, the Status Light will indicate which
protected zone triggered the system by flashing two, three or four times
between pauses, in the red color which indicates “alarm” operations. This
“Zone Violation” code will continue to flash, even after disarming. The
system can hold two different violation codes in it's memory, which is
cleared by turning the ignition switch "on".
Once the AL-1610-EDP has been activated and reset, the disarming
confirmation changes to make the user aware that it has done so (see the
following “Disarming the System” section).
a system activation, or alarm, cannot occur. This Arming Delay allows the
system to completely process its sensory parameters, which can include
allowing the vehicle to stabilize. In some cases more time is needed than
the factory-set 3 seconds, and this feature offers three longer delay options.
Feature #15 Steady Siren or Pulsed Horn
Factory Default Setting Steady Siren
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
Pulsed Horn Low (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Pulsed Horn Medium (press “||” button to program)
Pulsed Horn High (press red “|||” button to program)
It is important to understand that the AL-1610-EDP has a primary audible
output, for the electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable relay
which among its applications is being used to sound the vehicle’s existing
horn. This feature changes only the primary audible output, so that it can
be utilized to sound the existing horn by itself. This is for cases when the
programmable relay is desired for other features, such as unlocking the
doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory output should it be needed
for the remote starting operation.
The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the
electronic siren requires. When programming this feature for using the
output for the vehicle’s horn, the optional setting produce pulsed output on
the system’s siren wire, in three different pulse timings, which allow a degree of customizing the horn’s sound during the alarm activation.
Feature #16 Alarm Functions Bypass
Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
This feature converts the system into a strictly Remote Keyless Entry System by eliminating all antitheft alarm-oriented operations and features.
When this feature is programmed on, the AL-1610-EDP has remote keyless entry and engine starting operation only.
Feature #17 Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection
Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by the ignition key being turned on.
The Anti-Carjacking protection, and the three ways to initiate it are described on pages 24 & 25.

Options:
60 Seconds (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
90 Seconds (press “||” button to program)
120 Seconds (press red “|||” button to program)
This feature allows four choices of the Alarm Duration, which is the period
of time for which the system sounding the siren (and/or horn, optionally) and
flashes the parking lights when it is triggered. Caution: Before lengthen-
ing the Alarm Duration you should always check and determine if there
are any local anti-noise or nuisance ordinances in your area, to avoid
the possibility of receiving a violation citation.
Feature #12 Parking Light Illumination Upon Disarm
Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
This feature affects the parking light operation when the system is disarmed. When this feature is turned on, the parking lights flash once, and
then turn back on for external illumination for 30 seconds unless the ignition
key is turned on during that time. If this feature is turned off, the parking
lights flash once only, and do not illuminate. This feature only affects the
AL-1610-EDP’s parking light operation, and not the interior light operation.
Feature #13 2nd Channel Also Disarms System
Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
“2nd channel” is most commonly used to remotely open the vehicle’s trunk,
in which case the alarm should also disarm. This feature, turned on,
configures the system to disarm when the 2nd channel is used. If turned off,
the 2nd channel output will still occur, with 2 chirps, but without the parking
light flashes; and if armed, the system will not disarm.
Feature #14 3 or 45 Second Arming Delay
Factory Default Setting 3 Seconds
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
15 Seconds (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
30 Seconds (press “||” button to program)
45 Seconds (press red “|||” button to program)
When the system is armed, whether by the transmitter, optional 2-way
controller or by an automatic feature, there is a brief period of time in which
Page - 34
Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor is triggered by a light
impact or shock to the vehicle, the security system will respond by chirping
the siren 3 times and locking the doors. After this Prewarning circuit has
been triggered five times it will automatically shutdown until the alarm
system is disarmed, then armed.
Disarming the System
There are two methods of disarming the AL-1610-EDP:
1- The primary method is to use the transmitter by pressing and releasing
its “disarm/unlock” button. This is the normal “daily use” method.
2- The second method is an “Emergency Override” alternative, should
the transmitter become lost or inoperable. This method uses the Valet
Switch, but the vehicle’s ignition key is also required.
Disarming the System Using
the Transmitter
Press and release the transmitter’s “disarm/unlock” button once to
instantly disarm the system, disengaging the starter interrupt and unlock the
doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature installed, then
upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the “disarm/unlock”
button is pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock.
The system’s reaction: Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice,
the Status Light turning off, and the parking lights flashing twice, then with
the interior lights illuminating for 30 seconds for approach illumination. The
lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on" before the 30
seconds expires.
If the AL-1610-EDP was activated and reset itself: The disarming
confirmation will no longer be 2 siren chirps, and the parking lights flashing
twice before staying on with the interior lights. Instead, the system will
respond with 4 siren chirps and the parking and interior lights flashing 4
times before staying on for 30 seconds. The Status Light will change to
flashing two to four times in red between pauses as a “Zone Violation” code
to indicate which protection circuit triggered the system (2 flashes, hood/
trunk; 3 flashes, doors; 4 flashes , impact sensor). These special audible
and visual disarming indications, and Zone Violation code, will remain this
way until the ignition key is turned “on”.
Page - 11
Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding
the siren and flashing the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” button will
disarm the system, but not unlock the doors. This safety feature ensures
that the vehicle remain secure should the system require disarming due to
being activated from nuisance or malicious false sensory inputs, such as
typically produced by severe weather conditions. To remotely unlock the
doors if the system is disarmed while activated, simply repeat the disarm
operation by pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button again. If
disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present,
including the unlocking of the doors.
Automatic Rearming Feature: Automatic Rearming is a programmable
feature which ensures that your system is never inadvertently disarmed. It
is possible to accidentally or unknowingly operate the transmitter from a
pocket or purse. You may not even be aware of an accidental disarming due
to the enhanced operating distance offered by the AL-1610-EDP’s extended
range. Automatic Rearming has the alarm rearm itself 90 seconds after it
is has been disarmed,
unless a vehicle door is opened and the ignition key
turned on. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing Status Light
after the disarming, unless the system was triggered, in which case a Zone
Violation code will flash instead.
During the 90 second period, Automatic Rearming can be paused by
opening the door or stopped completely by turning the ignition key "on".
Also, Automatic Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm
Mode feature; if the system is disarmed while triggered, Automatic Rearming
will not occur.
Feature #8 Open Door Bypass of Ignition Locking
Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
This feature cancels the automatic locking or unlocking of the vehicle’s
doors should one of the doors is open when the ignition switch is turned on
or off.
Feature #9 Confirmation Chirps
Factory Default Setting O n
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Chirps Excepting Valet Mode (press “||” button to program)
Chirps in Valet Mode Only (press red “|||” button to program)
This feature removes the system’s 1 arming and 2 disarming confirmation
chirps. When this feature is used to remove these chirps, the system will
still have 3 chirps
upon arming if a protected zone is violated, and still have 4 chirps upon
disarming if the system was previously activated. Using this feature to turn
off the arm and disarming chirps will also not affect the Prewarning
operation, Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (if used), nor will it affect the
chirps used when programming.
The other two settings will have the confirmation chirps operate only
when the system is in Valet Mode, and not otherwise; or, the chirps will
operate except when the system is in Valet Mode.
Disarming the System by Emergency Override
Should the transmitter become lost, damaged, or its batteries become
exhausted, the Valet Switch
disarm the system:
Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the
driver's door (be aware that the alarm will trigger when the door is
opened).
Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch one time. The
system will disarm.
The number of Valet Switch presses which are required for the
and the vehicle’s ignition key may be used to

Feature #10 Confirmation Chirp Volume
Factory Default Setting Medium High
(press “||” button to program)
Options:
Low (softest) (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Medium Low (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
High (loudest) (press red “|||” button to program)
This feature allows the choice of four different volume levels of the system’s
confirmation chirps, and when programming it, the buttons can be repeatedly and sequentially pressed, thus making it easy to hear and choose the
setting with the best chirp volume.
This feature operates regardless of how feature #15, “Steady Siren” or
“Pulsed Horn” is set. Feature #15 sets “Steady”; or “Pulsed” as three different timings, for the activated alarm period output. This feature, #10,
affects only the confirmation chirps.
Page - 33
Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override
Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by
simply turning the ignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s
activation. After 10 seconds, the Emergency Override must be performed
or the transmitter’s “disarm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the
system.
Feature #6 Doors Lock With Ignition On
Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
This feature configures the system to automatically lock the vehicle’s doors
every time that the ignition switch is turned on. An exception to this would
be if feature #8 is turned on, and a door being open when the ignition switch
is turned on. The following feature #7 controls the automatic unlocking
operations, and feature #8 provides for an override of this automatic locking
if a door is open when the ignition is turned on.
Feature #7 Doors Unlock With Ignition Off
Factory Default Setting On (all doors will unlock)*
(press red “|||” button to program)
Options:
Off (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Driver’s Door Only* (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
All Doors Except Driver’s Door* (press “||” button to program)
Similar to the previous locking feature, except this feature controls the
unlock operations when the ignition is turned off, and it has more options
because of the AL-1610-EDP’s multiple unlocking outputs.
*Multiple unlock outputs offer the capability of unlocking only the driver’s
door when the system is disarmed (Driver Door Priority Unlocking), and
then the option of unlocking all doors with a second press of the “disarm/
unlock” button. The driver’s door unlocking differently from the other
doors must be configured when the system is installed!
If the system is installed without the Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking
interface, this feature unlocks all of the doors when the ignition switch is
turned off.
If Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking is installed, this feature can control only
the driver’s door unlocking when the ignition is turned, all doors unlocking,
or all doors except the driver’s. The following feature provides for an
override of this automatic unlocking if a door is open when the ignition is
turned off.
Page - 32
Emergency Override is custom-programmable! This is the SecureCode
feature, which is described on page 21. The above Emergency Override
instructions reflect the “as received from the factory” default setting.
Remote Panic Feature
Should you feel threatened, or the need to attract attention, you can
activate your system's remote “Panic” feature at any time by pressing and
holding for 3 seconds the transmitter’s “arm/lock”, the “disarm/unlock”, or
the “|||” button. Your system will respond by sounding the siren and flashing
the parking lights for the normal activated alarm period of 30 seconds.
Additionally, the AL-1610-EDP system features an unique “enhanced”
remote Panic operation, regarding additional operations during Panic,
and in association with the transmitter button used in it’s activation or
deactivation:
• Activating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will lock the doors, arm the
system and engage the starter interrupt.
• Activating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will unlock the doors,
disarm the system and does not engage the starter interrupt.
• Activating Panic with the red “|||” button will not affect the system’s
armed or disarmed status; the doors locked or unlock condition; nor will
it affect the starter disable circuit.
To disengage remote Panic, simply press and release any one of the same
three transmitter buttons, or, allow it automatically stop after 30 seconds.
• Deactivating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will stop Panic, and leave
the system armed with the starter interrupt engaged, and the doors
locked.
• Deactivating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will stop Panic, and
leave the system disarmed with the starter interrupt disengaged, and
the doors unlocked.
• Deactivating Panic with the “|||” button will stop Panic, and leave the
system in the same state it was in at the moment Panic started, without
locking or unlocking the doors.
• If the system is allowed to reset itself from remote Panic, it will enter the
armed state, locking the doors and engaging the starter interrupt,
regardless of which of the three buttons was used to activate it.
Page - 13
If desired, it is possible to have the “|||” button operate the 3rd channel
output or the two optional further channel outputs, instead of remote Panicsee “Feature #21” on page 36.
This feature turns that operation on or off, and with options of having Last
Door Arming operate with or without also locking the doors when the system
does arm.
Remote Engine Starting
The remote engine starting feature should not be used when
the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!
Your Omega AL-1610-EDP system offers the ultimate in comfort and
convenience- remote engine starting. This feature allows the vehicle’s
interior to be warmed in the winter or cooled in the summer before you enter
the vehicle. Simply leave the climate controls set to the desired settings
when leaving the vehicle prior to using the remote starting feature.
The following pages explain the remote engine starting operations. If
the vehicle has a manual transmission, a special procedure is required
when exiting the vehicle to enable the ability to remote start. Otherwise, the
actual activation of remote start is the same for automatic or manual
transmission vehicles.
• When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the
climate controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.
• If desired, the system’s alarm function may be armed or disarmed as
needed during remote start operations (the system must be disarmed
before entering the vehicle).
How to Activate Remote Starting
Press and release together the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “disarm/
unlock” buttons.
The system’s reaction: The system will respond first by rapidly flashing
the Status Light in green color, then by turning on the ignition and flashing
the parking lights once. Then the starter will engage until the engine runs;
10 seconds later the parking lights will illuminate steady during the period
that the engine is running from being remotely started. (having them flash
instead is an option- see the User Programmable Features section).
The engine will run for 10 minutes (the factory-set period). 5, 15 and 20
minute run times may be programmed, if desired, by referring to the
“Programming Features” section. Once the engine has been remotely
started, to remotely stop it on demand, before it times out, again press and
release together the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons.
The system will stop the engine, and extinguish the parking lights.

Feature #3 Automatic Rearming
Factory Default Setting Off
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
On with doors locking (press “||” button to program)
“Automatic Rearming”, described on page 12, prevents the system from
becoming accidentally disarmed by having it arm itself after being disarmed, if a door is not then opened or the ignition turned on. Options are
to have Automatic Rearming operate with or without also locking the doors
when the system does rearm.
Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions
Factory Default Setting Alarm Only
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Automatic (press “||” button to program)
Alarm & Anti-Grind (press red “|||” button to program)
This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its
default setting, “Alarm Only”, the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever
the alarm is armed. The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the
accidental grinding of the starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is
already running by remote starting (as when the ignition key is turned to
“run” to drive the vehicle).
The “Automatic” option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to automatically engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and
also 90 seconds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement
will occur even if the security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in
Valet Mode. Once the Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must
be armed, then disarmed with the transmitter, or placed into the Valet Mode
by pressing and holding the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it.
There are no Status Light indications with this automatic form of Starter
Interrupt.
Programming this feature off completely eliminates the Starter Interrupt output, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.

Feature #1 SecureCode
Factory Default Setting 1 Press
Options:
1 to 9 presses, in each of two stages
SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select
the number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1
press”, which would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override.
If any of the three anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized
SecureCode would also be required to turn it off once it is fully activated.
The SecureCode operation is described on page 21.
To custom program a new SecureCode:
Step 1 Follow Steps 1 to 4 in the previous “How to Program Features”
instructions; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and
released once (the siren chirps once) to access “feature #1”.
Step 2 Within 10 seconds slowly press and release the transmitter’s
“arm/lock” button the number of times equal to thedesired
SecureCode for stage 1, allow the system to respond to each
transmitter button press with a siren chirp before pressing the
button again.
Step 3 After entering the first stage by pressing the “arm/lock” button the
desired number of times, and receiving a chirp for each press, wait
for the system, after the final button press, to chirp the siren again
the total number of times that the button was pressed.
Step 4 Continue to configure stage 2 of the SecureCode by now pressing
and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button the number of times
desired for the stage 2. This should be done in the exact same
fashion as the stage 1 entry- press the “disarm/unlock” button,
wait for a single chirp before pressing the button again, and then
when final button press is done, wait after the single chirp for the
siren to chirp the total number entered Valet Switch entry.
Feature #2 Last Door Arming
Factory Default Setting Off
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
On with doors locking (press “||” button to program)
“Last Door Arming” has the system automatically arm itself every time you
exit the vehicle (the complete operation is described on pages 9 & 10).
Page - 30
Should the engine fail to start on the first remote attempt, the system will
subsequently make as many as three further attempts, as needed. Please
note that each starting attempt takes approximately 20 seconds for the
system to check the vehicle’s status, cycle the ignition and starter circuits,
and then monitor vehicle status again before the next attempt.
To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if
needed) open the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition
switch and turn the switch to “on” or “run” position (not “start”!). Then press
the brake pedal or remove the gear selector from “park”; now the engine is
no longer running from the system, but rather from the ignition key. To
indicate this, the system will briefly sound the siren. Pressing the Valet
Switch will also turn off the system’s running the engine, but without the
violated safety circuit siren sounding.
Safety Features: Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely
starting, or if remotely started already, will stop the running engine. These
conditions are:
A pressed brake pedal.
The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position, or
alternatively, the parking brake not being set.
An open hood.
If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the
setup procedure was performed.
An open door will not prevent the system from starting the engine; if the
engine has already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the
running engine, unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the
engine running by remote control and the system armed will result in
activating the system, which will stop the running engine.
If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the above
conditions are present, the system will not attempt to start the engine and
will instead have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety
circuit. The violated safety circuit conditions which can produce this
indication are the gear selector not in the “park” position, an open hood or
trunk, or a pressed brake pedal.
“Stick Shift” Remote St arting Setup Procedure: When the Omega AL1610-EDP is installed into a manual transmission vehicle,
Installer Programmable Feature #5 must be turned on. Then, whenever remote starting will be desired at a later time the following procedure must be performed before exiting the vehicle:
Page - 15
Step 1 With the engine running and foot on the brake, apply the parking
brake, put the transmission shifter in “neutral”, and remove your foot
from the brake.
Step 2 Press and release the transmitter “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock”
buttons together. The Status Light will begin flashing green, as the
AL-1610-EDP is now keeping the engine running. Do not press the
brake pedal from this point, and the parking brake must remain on.
Step 3 Within 2 minutes, turn off the ignition key, exit the vehicle and then
press the transmitter’s “arm/lock” button to lock the vehicle. The
alarm will arm, and the previously running engine will stop. The
Status Light also changes to show the “armed” indication, flashing
slowly red, but every fourth flash will be green, indicating that the
system is “armed, and ready for remote starting”.
From this point, the vehicle may be remote started provided that it is not
disturbed. When ready to remote start, the activation of remote starting is
the same as previously described: press and release the transmitter’s “arm/
lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons together.
During the setup procedure, the parking brake must remain set, and the
regular brake pedal must not be pressed when and after the transmitter’s
“arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons are pressed. After exiting the
vehicle, the transmitter’s “arm/lock” button
only must be used to secure the
vehicle. Using any other transmitter button will produce the appropriate
system response, but the remote starting setup will be voided.
Once the system is fully setup for remote starting, it will start the engine
if the next transmitter operation is pressing the “arm/lock” and “disarm/
unlock” buttons together. If any other transmitter button is pressed the
remote starting setup will be voided. If the armed alarm should be triggered
during this period, the remote starting setup condition will be voided.
Pit-Stop Feature: This feature allows you to turn off the ignition switch,
remove your keys, leave the vehicle and lock your doors while leaving the
engine running. To use this feature, have the engine running normally
from the ignition switch, have the gear selector in “park”, and your foot off
of the brake pedal. Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will
flash once and the siren chirps 5 times; then turn the ignition off. The
engine will remain running for the programmed run time, or it will turn off if
another transmitter signal is received, a safety circuit is violated, or if the
Valet Switch is pressed.
This feature may be used anytime; it does not have to be specially
programmed to operate.

Each of the Programmable Features is described in detail in the
following pages. The User Programmable Features are described as
a first group, and the Installer Programmable Features as a second
group. It is important to note that programmable features affect the
exact operation of the system, and that the descriptions of any
features utilized should be used to supplement the basic system
operations which were described in previous sections of this booklet.

To Access a Feature:
Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same
number of times as the desired feature’s number.
• The siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash as
many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the
feature number which is now accessed.
•This and the following steps apply for both of the programming
levels- User Programming or Installer Programming.
To Change a Feature:
Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press
& Release the appropriate transmitter or controller button.
•Pressing the “arm/lock” button typically turns the feature on;
or sets the feature’s first option. The siren will chirp once when
this button is pressed.
•Pressing the “disarm/unlock” button also typically turns the
feature off; or, sets the feature’s second option. The siren will
chirp twice when this button is pressed.
•Many features have third, and even fourth setting options.
Pressing the “OPTION” and “|||” buttons select these options. Confirmation chirps when these buttons are pressed are
three and four chirps respectively.
•Generally speaking, the Status Light will light solid when a selected feature is programmed “on”, and not light when the feature is set for “off”. Some features have more than one “on”
option, in which case the Status Light will remain on for all of
the feature “on” settings.
To Access and Change further Features:
Step 6 If there are more features to be programmed, within 10 seconds
of the previous action Press & Release the Valet Switch the
same number of times as the next desired feature’s number.
•Again the siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash
as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the
new feature number which is now accessed.
•Use the transmitter or controller as described in Step 5 to change
the newly accessed feature as desired.
•Repeat this Step 6 for each additional feature until all features
are programmed.
Low Battery Automatic Starting Feature: This feature may be used
anytime. Setting this feature to operate has the AL-1610-EDP automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery voltage drop to 11 volts.
This feature is very useful if the vehicle is to parked unattended for a long
period of time, such as extended parking at the airport while away. Low
Battery automatic starting must be activated for each occasion which it is
desired to operate, as follows:
• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within
7 seconds press the brake pedal. The system will chirp 6 times. Then,
open the door, exit the vehicle and close the door, press the transmitter’s
“arm/lock” button to lock the vehicle (arming the system).
The feature is now turned on, and until the system is disarmed or the
ignition turned “on”, if the system detects the vehicle battery voltage dropping to 11 volts, it will automatically start the engine.
T urbo Timer Feature: It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped
with turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before turning it off to allow the turbo to cool down. This can help to greatly
increase the turbocharger’s lifespan. When this Installer Programmable
Feature is programmed on, the AL-1610-EDP will automatically keep the
engine running as follows:
• With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking
brake. When the brake pedal is released, the AL-1610-EDP will keep
the engine running for the selected time, and then automatically turn
it off.
This feature must be programmed by the installer, and turning it on offers
three run time choices- 1, 2, or 3 minutes. The alarm may be armed while
the engine is running. Turbo Timer can be prevented form engaging, or
“bypassed” if desired, by turning the engine off first and then engaging the
parking brake, or if it’s already engaged simply step on the brake pedal to
turn the running engine off.
Step 7 Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming
actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
•The siren will sound briefly and the Status Indicator Light will go
out to confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.

Other Transmitter Operations
To Silently Arm or Disarm the alarm, press and release the “||” button
twice. The siren’s confirmation chirps will not occur, and this operation
simply reverses, or “toggles” the armed and disarmed status that the
system.
The sensor may be temporarily bypassed. When arming the alarm
with the transmitter, within 3 seconds after the arming chirp press the “
button. The system will respond with another single chirp, confirming that
the sensor is bypassed.
The 2nd channel output, which is operated by pressing and holding
the transmitter “||” button for 1 second, is designed specifically to operate
your vehicle’s electric power trunk release. Your vehicle will respond by
releasing the trunk lid or rear hatch, chirping the siren twice, turning on your
parking and interior lights for 30 seconds, unlocking the doors, and
disarming the system if it was armed. The 2nd channel output will not
operate when the ignition switch is "on" unless the vehicle's door is open.
If desired, the security system can be programmed to remain armed when
this feature is used, and connection of the 2nd channel may require extra
parts or installation.
The AL-1610-EDP also has a 3rd channel output which is similar to
the 2nd channel, but it does have some special operational design
differences. To operate it, press and hold the transmitter “
red “|||” buttons together for 1 second. Or, a programmable feature allows
the pressing of the “|||” button only to operate this output.
The differences are that 3rd channel output will operate regardless of
the ignition switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual
confirmation. Connection of the 3rd channel will vary, depending upon the
chosen application, and may require extra parts or installation.
There are also optional 4th channel and 5th channel outputs, which
are available if more remote control functions are desired. These outputs
can be repurposed from two other system outputs, the factory arm and
disarm outputs, by an Installer Programmable Feature #9 (see page 42).
When these outputs are programmed to operate, pressing the transmitter
“arm/lock” and “||” buttons together will activate the 4th channel output.
Pressing the “disarm/unlock” and red “|||” buttons will activate the 5th
channel. Or, if desired, the transmitter “|||” button can be programmed by
User Programming Feature #21 (page 36) to operate any of these channels.

OPTION” and
How to Program Features
To a large extent the Omega AL-1610-EDP’s versatility is due to an
incredible array of programmable features- 33 main-system programmable
features which offer almost 100 choices of operational and interfacing
options.
For easier management of the programmable features, they are
divided into two separate accessibility levels. Features which allow the
||”
user to customize the system’s operation according to their own choice are
in one group, and the features which are installation related, or intended
for the installer’s use are in a second group. The AL-1610-EDP system
has 23 User Programmable Features, and there are 10 Installer
Programmable Features.
The same basic “
Features Programming Mode” is the means for changing
any of the features; the mode itself can be accessed as either the User level,
or the Installer level.
The vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the
Programming Mode, then the transmitter or optional controller is used to
change features. Once the system is in Programming Mode, a 10 second
period without programming activity will cause the system to automatically
exit Programming Mode. Features can be selected in any order as desired.
To Enter Programing Mode and Change Features:
Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
Step 2
Turn the ignition off.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch either:
5 times for User Programming ( Red Status Light)
OR
10 times Installer Programming (Green Status Light)
•The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will
flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.
•In the case of accessing the Installer Mode, the siren chirp then
brief sounding will be heard at the fifth valet press, and then
again at the tenth valet switch press.
• The Status Light shows red color for User Programming, and
Green color for Installer programming.
•In either Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming
activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Programming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or pressing a transmitter button once a feature is accessed.
When the desired Programming Mode is accessed, select a Feature > > >

Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or
replacement transmitters and/or optional 2-way controllers does not turn on
or otherwise affect the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (UTA) feature.
Step 1 Have all transmitters and/or optional controllers which are to
operate the system at hand. Turn the ignition “on”.
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch
5 times. The siren will briefly sound, confirming that for the next 10
seconds the system is ready to learn a transmitter/controller code.
To enter a code, simply press and release the “arm/lock” button
(the button which is designed to arm the system). When the first
code is learned all existing stored codes will be erased.
Step 3 Press the “arm/lock” button on each remaining transmitter or
optional controller. The system will chirp the siren once to confirm
that each was learned. The transmitter or controller’s other three
button's functions will automatically be assigned when the “arm/
lock” button is learned. If a code is not received within a 10 second
period, the learning process will automatically terminate, as indicated
by another siren burst.
If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a
transmitter or optional controller to the system will activate the
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert warning and the extended Status
Light visual display; for the next 48 hours the siren will sound a brief
series of chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition key is turned on.
The following special procedure programs the transmitter/controllers
and also turns the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature on.
Special Programming procedure to turn On the UTA feature: Using this
method to program transmitters or optional controllers, and to turn on or turn
off the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature.
Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any
transmitter/controller being programmed instead of pressing the “arm/
lock” button, press the “arm/lock” and the “disarm/unlock” buttons together.
This action turns on the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature and at the
same time programs the transmitter or controller to operate the system.
Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the
warning will sound for 48 hours after any transmitter or controller
programming, including the programming session which was used to turn
it on.

Using the Valet Switch-
Alarm Valet Mode & Starting Valet Mode
The Valet Switch has several functions:
• Placing the system into Alarm Valet Mode, which prevents it from
arming.
• Placing it into Starting Valet Mode, which prevents it from remote
starting.
• Should your transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the Valet Switch,
and the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system with an
Emergency Override.
• It is also used in the procedures for programming features and
programming transmitters to operate the system. See the
“Programming “ sections of this manual for details on these uses.
Alarm Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all of the “alarm” operations
of the security system while retaining the remote convenience features
such as keyless entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs. Remote starting
is still operable, and has its own valet mode (below). The system may only
be placed into Alarm Valet Mode when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before placing into Alarm Valet Mode.
Once the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from the
transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.
Alarm Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different
procedures, although both operations use the Valet Switch, . Emergency
Override disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the ignition
key. Alarm Valet Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed
system, but without the need of the ignition key.
Alarm Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient
for the security portion of the system to be operational, such as during
extended stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking,
washing, etc.
To Enter Alarm Valet Mode:
pressing the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Sta-
tus Light will illuminate solid red, then a series of green flashes, then
return to solid red. The green flashes, numbering from 1 to 6 times, is a
remote starting diagnostic code (see page 23).
With the system disarmed, and without
Page - 19
• To indicate that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the Status Light
remains solid red whenever the system is in Alarm Valet Mode.
• To remind the user that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the siren will
chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.
If desired, User Programmable Feature #21 can be used to have the AntiCarjacking engage by pressing only the red “|||” button (remote “Panic” still
operates with the “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons), and “Panic”
without doorlocks moves to the “OPTION” and red “|||” buttons together
Starting Valet Mode: This feature is similar to Alarm Valet Mode, but its
purpose is turn off the remote starting operations of the system.
may be placed into Starting Valet Mode and Alarm Valet Mode independently, or into both modes at the same time. Please note that the only
difference in obtaining either mode is whether or not the brake pedal is being
pressed.
To Enter Starting Valet Mode With the system disarmed,
ing the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the
Status Light will illuminate solid green to confirm that the system is in
Starting Valet Mode.
• There is no audible reminder that the system is in Starting Valet mode.
To Enter both Modes (Full Valet Mode): With the system disarmed,
press and hold the Valet Switch for 4-6 seconds
both conditions. For example, start pressing the Valet Switch with the
brake pedal unpressed; as soon as the two chirps are heard, press the
brake pedal but do not release the Valet Switch. As soon as a second set
of two chirps is heard, the Valet Switch may be released. The system is
now in Full Valet Mode. It does not matter in what order the pressed or
unpressed brake pedal occurs.
• Once the system is in Full Valet Mode the Status Indicator Light will slowly
alternate green and red to confirm that the system is in Full Valet Mode.
This indication is present whenever the system is in Full Valet Mode.
• There will be the single chirp reminder every time the ignition turns off.
This is for the Alarm Valet Mode part of the Full Valet Mode condition.
To Exit any of the 3 forms of Valet Mode, simply Press & Release the
Valet Switch at any time.
• The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from either Alarm
Valet Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or both.

Transmitter Protection
The Omega AL-1610-EDP features several security safeguards in one
of the most vulnerable areas of any remotely controlled system. These
apply with both 1-way transmitters and optional 2-way controllers.
Code JumpingTM It is quite easy, with the proper equipment, to record an
alarm or keyless entry system’s transmitter signal, and simply play the
captured signal back to the system to defeat it. The AL-1610-EDP’s Code
Jumping renders such “code grabbing” devices useless by randomly
changing each signal that the transmitter sends.
Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM shows the total number of
transmitters which can operate the system, by flashing the Status Light with
this number for 10 seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on.
Unauthorized Transmitter AlertTM (UTA) is a protection feature which
may be turned on by the user (see the next section, “How to Program
Transmitters”). When this protection feature is utilized, whenever a transmitter
(or optional 2-way controller) is added to operate the system, for 48 hours
afterward a warning consisting of a brief series of siren chirps sounds every
time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on.
Also during this 48 hour warning period, the 10 second Automatic
Transmitter Verification visual display will increase to being displayed for
90 seconds instead of 10 seconds. When this feature is used and activated,
after 48 hours the warning chirps disappear and the Status Light flashing the
number of transmitters returns to being displayed for 10 seconds.
How to Program Transmitters
The AL-1610-EDP system is capable of being operated by as many as
four 1-way transmitters or optional 2-way controllers; these can be in any
combination of transmitters or optional controllers. Regardless of which,
the transmitter or controller must be encoded, or programmed, to the
system in order to operate it (excepting the originals, which were programmed
at the factory).
The programming procedure is identical for a transmitter or for a
controller. Also, it is during the programming procedure that the Unauthorized
Transmitter Alert feature may be turned on.
Page - 25
Anti-Carjacking Protection
The Omega AL-1610-EDP features three separate Anti-Carjacking
protection features, whose operation may be selectively activated by the
ignition, by an open door, or by the transmitter. All three are programmable,
and must be turned on to operate. Once activated, the user has 53 seconds
to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection process by pressing the Valet
Switch once. If Anti-Carjacking is not cancelled, 53 seconds after being
activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that the
system is about to enter into an alarm condition. The Valet Switch may still
be pressed once during this period to cancel the Anti-Carjacking process.
If the Anti-Carjacking process is not cancelled before the 60 second
countdown expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the
siren and flashing the parking lights. 30 seconds after this occurs, or
should the ignition be turned off in the meantime, the stater interrupt will
engage.
to the transmitter, nor will the system reset automatically after 60 seconds,
and it can only be disengaged by:
Step 1 Turning the vehicle’s ignition off.
Step 2 Turning the ignition back on.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the Valet
The three types of Anti-Carjacking protection features are:
Anti-Carjacking protection activated by the vehicle’s ignition has the
process start every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The Valet Switch
must be pressed within 60 seconds every time the vehicle is started to
cancel Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #17 (see
pages 27,28, and 35).
Anti-Carjacking protection activated an open door has the process start
should a door be opened after the vehicle is started and the engine is
running. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after the door
is opened to cancel Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature
#18 (see pages 27,28, and 36).
Anti-Carjacking protection activated using a transmitter has the process
start by pressing and holding the “
for 3 seconds, but only if the vehicle’s ignition is on. The Valet Switch must
be pressed within 60 seconds after this is done to cancel Anti-Carjacking.
This is User Programmable Feature #19 (pages 27,28, and 36).
Once the system enters the alarm condition, it will not respond

SecureCode
“SecureCode” allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch
presses which are required to successfully perform an Emergency Override.
The basic Emergency Override procedure is described on pages 12-
13. Instead of a single “1 press” of the Valet Switch which would be required
in order to perform an Emergency Override, two stages of Valet Switch
presses must be made. In each of the two stages, the Valet Switch will need
to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as programmed by the user. This is the
Emergency Override procedure if the system has programmed with a
customized SecureCode:
Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the
driver's door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm
condition when the door is opened).
Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.
Step 3
Step 4 After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding, chirp once, and
Step 5 Now,
and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to place the system into Valet Mode.
Should a mistake be made entering the SecureCode, after a failed attempt
to achieve SecureCode, the ignition switch must be turned off, then on again
before another attempt is made.
Should two failed SecureCode attempts be made, the system will ignore
any further presses of the Valet Switch for two minutes.
features are utilized, a correct customized SecureCode would also be
required to turn off anti-carjacking once it has become fully activated. How
to program your own customized SecureCode is explained on page 30.
Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same

then resume sounding.
within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same
number of times that have been programmed for stage #2. Within
a few seconds the siren will stop sounding, and the unit will disarm.
Once the system is disarmed, if Alarm Valet Mode is desired, just press

The Status Light
The Status Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides
a high level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security
operations, and Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both
colors are seen when the two operations are occurring together. The Status
Light is located in the vehicle interior, built into the window-mount antenna
module (see page 5).
Security System Status: The Red colored operations of the Status Light
indicate the status of the security system:
1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing automatic
functions. The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.
2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the
remote starter system off and in standby mode.
3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote
starter system off and in standby mode.
4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in
progress, with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the Status Light will flash Red a number of
times that equal the number of transmitters that are capable of operating the
system:
5) 1 Red Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.
6) 2 Red Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.
7) 3 Red Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.
8) 4 Red Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed.
Zone Violation: If the system enters an alarm condition, the Status Light will
stop flashing slow Red and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which
protected zone caused the alarm condition. The Status Light will flash and
pause to indicate which protected zone was violated while the system is still
armed, after it’s disarmed, and until the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The
system’s Zone Violation feature’s memory can store two consecutive zone
violations. If there have been multiple violations, the Status Light will show
the two most recent violations in the order in which they occurred.
9) 2 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by open hood or trunk.
10) 3 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by an open door.
11) 4 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by the sensor.
Page - 22
Starting System Status: The Status Light uses the color Green to indicate
the status of the remote starting part of the system:
12) Off = The remote starter system is off and in standby mode. The security
system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
13) Flashing Slow Green = The engine is running via the remote starting
system.
14) Flashing Fast Green = A remote start command has been received, and
the system is in the process of starting the engine.
Remote Starting Diagnostics: Whenever the system is placed into Alarm
Valet Mode, the Status Light illuminates solid Red. However, when this first
occurs, the Status Light will flash Red, then 1 to 6 Green flashes before
resuming solid Red. This indicates why the engine stopped running from the
last previous remote starting.
15) Red / 1 Green Flash / Red = Programmed run time expired.
16) Red / 2 Green Flashes / Red = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
17) Red / 3 Green Flashes / Red = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
18) Red / 4 Green Flashes / Red = Received transmitter command to stop.
19) Red / 5 Green Flashes / Red = Gear selector removed from “park”.
20) Red / 6 Green Flashes / Red = Security system triggered or low voltage.
Combination Indications: These indications occur when security and
remote starting operations are, or have been, simultaneous.
21) Slowly Alternates Red & Green = Full Valet Mode (page 20).
22) Solid Green w/ Red Flash = Security Armed with Starting Valet Mode.
23) Solid Red w/ Green Flash = Remote starter system engaged with
security system in Valet Mode.
24) Rapidly Alternates Red & Green = Remote starter system engaged with
security system armed.
25) Slow Flashing Green w/ 1 to 4 Red Flashes = This indication is during
remote start operation after disarming the alarm,
and shows that the previously Armed alarm was
activated and reset prior to the remote starting.
The Red flashes are the Zone Violation (previous
page), occurring with the “engine running” indicator.
26) Slowly Flashing Red 3 Times, Green 1 Time = The system is programmed
for manual transmission remote starting, and is
armed and ready for starting.
