Introduction
Congratulations for choosing your Remote Starter and enjoy the luxury of starting your
vehicle's engine from the comfort of your home or office.
Excalibur has a complete series of convenience and security systems; this version is
“remote starting only”, although the flexibility of its design allows its use in two distinct
forms:
The system utilizes a Status Light for visual indicators, and a Valet Switch to turn the
system off and to program it. The unit has a small window-mountable receiver piece, in
addition to its single-button transmitter.

Safety Considerations
• This unit is for vehicles with an automatic transmission only. Installation in a vehicle
equipped with a manual transmission can result in property damage or personal injury.
• This unit is for fuel injected gasoline or diesel engines.
• Children should not be left unattended in, or be allowed to play with the activating
trans-mitter device of any remote starter equipped vehicle.
• Do not use the remote starter feature in an enclosed garage or other structure.
This unit is a very flexible system. It has capabilities and features which may or may not
be utilized in your installation. It also has programmable features which can affect its
operation. While these are explained as thoroughly as possible in this guide, your Omega
dealer or installer is the best source for information about your system.

• The parking lights will flash 3 times.
• The unit will turn on the ignition circuit, turn the parking lights back on steady, and the
system’s interior Status Light will also start flashing.
• Within a few seconds the parking lights will turn off and the starter will engage.
• The engine will start, run, and the starter will be disengaged.
• The parking lights will turn back on and remain on while the unit is controlling
the engine. The status light will pause, and then continue to flash slowly.
• Should the engine stall, the unit will make two attempts to restart it.
To Activate Remote Start:
diagrams. The correct wire will show 12 Volts only when the headlight switch is in
the "Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions. This wire can usually be found at
the headlight switch, and various other locations within the vehicle, such as the rear body
harness or firewall connector.
Caution: When such a wire is located, be sure to also test that it is non-rheostated:
While metering the wire, operate the dash light dimmer control. The correct wire will show
no change in voltage when the dimmer is operated. Some vehicles have a parking-light
relay which is triggered by a Negative signal from the headlight switch. In these vehicles,
the White wire must be connected after the relay, usually at the Fuse/Junction Block. Do
NOT connect the White wire directly to the vehicle’s headlights. An external relay is required. Vehicles having a split parking
light system must be diode-isolated,

provided that all safety circuits are in the proper status. After the engine has been started
by remote control, another Negative pulse on the Pink wire will turn the unit off, stopping
the engine.
The Pink/Black wire can be connected to an available auxiliary output of an existing Remote Security System, and the unit's remote control may also be used to activate the
remote start operation.

• Stepping on the brake pedal will turn the engine off.
• To stop the engine by remote control, simply press the same button(s) used to start it.
• Otherwise, after the preset programmable time the unit will turn the engine off.*
• Opening the hood will turn the engine off. If the hood is open when an activation attempt
is made, the unit will only flash the parking lights 4 times, but will not start the engine.
• Pressing the Valet Switch will also stop the engine.
* The preset engine running time is 10 minutes, and 20, 30 and 40 minutes are optional.
Valet Mode
The unit may be placed into a “valet mode” which prevents the remote start feature
from being activated. Valet Mode should always be used when you do not wish for the
remote starter to be operated, such as when you have your vehicle serviced or leave it with
someone else. The Valet Switch, a small push-button, is used (check with the installer for
the location of this switch).
• At any time simply press the Valet Switch for 5 seconds; the Status Light will light steady,
to indicate Valet Mode, and stay illuminated continuously while the system is in Valet
Mode.
Once the unit is in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will instead be ac-

knowledged by the parking lights turning on, then flashing rapidly, then 3 slow
flashes, but no engine starting attempt will occur.
• To turn off Valet Mode, simply press the Valet Switch until the Status Light turns off, and
the parking lights flash once to confirm exiting valet mode.
Programming Transmitters
factory alarm system. Connect the Yellow/Green wire to the wire in the vehicle
which is connected to one of the doorlock key cylinders. The typical OEM alarm
has an electrical switch in the key cylinders which switches -Ground when the key unlocks
the door. This wire can usually be located in the vehicle in either kick panel area, in the
wiring harness which is routed into the cab from the door. The Yellow/Green wire has a
-Ground pulse whenever the unit has an unlock output or its remote start operation is
activated.
The unit can be operated by additional transmitters, up to four total. Additional or replacement
transmitters must be programmed to operate the unit.
• Have present all of the transmitters which are to operate the unit. Whenever a
transmitter is programmed to the system, any existing ones are automatically erased for
security. Therefore, all of the transmitters which are to operate the system must be
programmed at the same time.
1) Turn the ignition key “On” (and leave it “on”).
2) Within 7 seconds press the Valet Switch 5 times.
The parking lights flash once, and the system Status Light turns on steady.
3) Within 15 seconds press the first transmitter’s button.
The unit will acknowledge the transmission by momentarily turning off the
Status Light, and flashing the parking lights once.

the vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory Power circuit, this output can be used to
“spike” the door pin switch wire, which will turn off the Retained Accessory Power circuit.
To arm a factory alarm after remote start engine run stops, connect the Yellow/Red wire
to the vehicle's factory arm wire. This wire will show Negative polarity when a key is held in
the "lock" position in the door key cylinder. This wire can usually be located in either kick
panel, in the wiring harness from the door, as it is routed between the door key cylinder and
the factory alarm.
To use this wire to turn off Retained Accessory Power, locate a vehicle wire within the
door or doorjamb which shows Negative when the door is open. Should such a wire be
found which is positive, a relay is needed to reverse the Yellow/Red wire’s Negative output
to Positive. The Yellow/Red wire produces a Negative pulse output whenever the system
turns off the engine after it has been remotely started.

Connect the Green/Red wire to the wire in the vehicle which powers the glow plugs, or the
wire which illuminates the “Wait To Start” light on the instrument panel. When connected,
the unit will not engage the starter if the Green/Red wire has +12 Volts; in other words,
using this wire simply delays the unit’s engagement of the starter. If the “Wait To Start”
light in the vehicle has a Negative switching circuit, change the position of the White “Glow

Programming Features
The unit has 5 “programmable features” which are “installation”-related, in that they set
parameters, or make allowances, for certain conditions which may be set by the vehicle
the system is installed in, or by the remote start activation means. There is only one
programmable feature, feature #1 “Engine Run Time”, which is of any benefit or interest to
the vehicle owner or system user. Otherwise, the programmable features should not be
changed after installation.

Smart Start sensing is more commonly used, for its ease of installation. The unit as
received has Smart Start selected. Smart Start “reads” the vehicle’s battery voltage level
via the Black/Yellow wire to determine engine running status. To use Smart Start:
1) Connect the Black/Yellow wire to constant “Battery” 12 volts. This may done at the
ignition switch harness, or at the battery itself for better sensitivity.
2) Switch the selector slide switch on the unit’s control module to the left toward the
module corner (see the wiring diagram and the markings on the control module).
3) Adjust Smart Start by starting the engine and turning the left adjustment screw on the
control module slowly clockwise until the indicator LED starts flashing. Turn the adjustment until the LED is flashing in a consistent and regular manner.
4) Test the operation by remote starting and checking that the indicator LED shows the
same consistent flashing (good voltage signal learned), and that the starter engagement is long enough for the engine to start, but without grinding. Turn clockwise for
more crank time and counterclockwise for less crank time.
Tach Wire sensing is generally more reliable, and preferable in cases were the engine
normally starts inconsistently, or is hard to start . With this method the Black/Yellow wire
reads the engine speed (tach) information directly from a wire in the vehicle. To use the

Carefully install the included pin switch so that it is open (pin down) when the hood is shut
and closed (pin up) when the hood is open. Connect the Blue wire to the pin switch and
carefully route this wire through the firewall, using an added or existing grommet, avoiding
any hot or moving parts. Instead of using a pin switch to monitor the hood's open or shut
status, an Omega AU-46 Mercury Tilt Switch may used. Connect one of the AU-46's wires
to Negative Chassis Ground and connect the remaining wire to the Blue wire.

Only Features
• Feature #1 is “Engine Running Time”. When it remotely starts the engine, the
run time before automatic shut-off is adjustable. A 10 minute run time is the factory
setting, with options of 20, 30 or 40 minutes. When programming press the brake pedal
1 time for the default-set 10 minute run time; or press the brake 2 times for 20 minutes;
3 times for 30 minutes; or 4 times for 40 minutes.
• Feature #2 is “Starter Cranking Time”, which sets the base starter cranking time
for the Smart Start voltage sensing engine detection method (page 34). When using
Smart Start, a longer st arter cranking time may be used for engines which do not st art on
the first remote start attempt. Programming choices are: .5 second (1 brake press, the
default setting); .75 second (2 brake presses); 1.25 second (3 brake presses); and 1.5

• Feature #3 is “Single or Double Pulse Activation”. The “Double Pulse”
option allows the unit, in certain vehicles, to activate remote starting by
locking the vehicle doors two times with the original keyless entry transmitter. Exact
operations and vehicle suitability varies; consult with the installer for specific details.
• Feature #4 is “Gasoline or Diesel Engine”. When programming, press brake pedal
once for the “Gasoline” setting. Diesel engines have three options: pressing the brake
twice selects “Monitor Glow Plug Wire”, by which the unit delays engaging the starter
until its glow plug input wire detects the glow plugs turning off; and two preset delay
periods before starter engagement: 10 seconds (press brake 3 times) and 20 seconds
(press brake 4 times).
• Feature #5 is “Reset”, and returns all Programmable Features to their factory default
settings. To do this, enter programming mode, select Feature #5, and press the brake
pedal once. The unit will acknowledge resetting the features turning off the parking
lights, flashing the Status Light once, and then immediately exiting programming mode
with the normal confirmation of 2 short and 1 long St atus Light flashes and turning off the
parking lights.
Note: When a Programmable Features Reset is used, any feature which needs to be in
a setting different from the default setting will have to be reprogrammed.

Installation Instructions
After reading this manual, start the installation by affixing the WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment!
Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual transmission
vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property damage, personal injury,
and will void all warranties!
Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that an installer
may not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe injury may occur in
an accidental airbag deployment!
The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) instead of a
standard testlight is required. This can greatly reduce the risk of an accidental airbag deployment or on-board computer damage.
Battery gases are explosive! Avoid sparks and do not smoke while working
near the vehicle's battery!
Always protect wires routed through the firewall from sharp metal edges and
the 3-pin Red port to energize the second Starter wire.
Note: If a security system is present which utilizes a starter interrupt circuit,
the Green wire must be connected to the Starter Motor side of the interrupt.

known as a "Cold Start" wire. When this is encountered, two options are available: program
the Yellow/Green wire as a second starter output, or use an optional relay configured to

mined which control module wires will be used. Most installers will list these
wires, then "map out" the installation by locating and noting the target wires in
the vehicle. This will also determine the best location for the unit’s control module,

The remote starting unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition switch
when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the main wiring
harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness. The ignition switch wires
usually are high amperage circuits, which means that high reliability connections must be
made- soldering of all connections is recommended.
Caution!

Main Module:
The Main Module should be mounted in a location close to the ignition switch (where
many of the wiring connections are made); typically, hidden behind the driver’s side
dash.
Valet Switch and Status Light:
Carefully select locations in which the Valet Switch may be easily reached, and the Status
Light may be easily seen, by the driver. Both locations will need clear space behind the
panel. Drill a 15/64” hole for the Status Light, and a 17/64” hole for the Valet Switch. Mount
these items and carefully route their wires to the Main Module.
