is in operation. Additionally, the Orange wire also provides the vehicle immobilizing feature for the Anti-Carjacking operation. Connection instructions are included with optional starter interrupt socket and relay.

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, with two IN4006 diodes as shown:

existing keyless entry or alarm system to activate the remote start operation. If the

Pink/Black wire receives a Negative pulse, the unit will start the vehicle's engine, 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.

tion,

Deactivation

• 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.
