duration of the starter output’s for the 1st start attempt. If the engine doesn’t start
on the first attempt, the system will retry up to 3 more times. With each attempt, the
output will be extended by 0.2 seconds. 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 programmed by the installer.
Feature #6 Unlocking Functions
Factory Default Setting 0.8 Second Unlock Output
(press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options:
3 Second Unlock Output (press brake pedal 2x to program)
Double Pulse Unlock Output (press brake pedal 3x to program)
This single feature gives the installer several needed options, to match the RS-210DP’s doorlocking outputs to suite different vehicle requirements.
• The first setting (programmed by pressing the brake 1x) has the system
produce the unlock output as 0.8 second in duration. This is the
most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.
• The second setting (programmed by pressing the brake 2x ) changes the
unlock output 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 pressing the brake 3x ).
Feature #7 Turbo Timer
Factory Default Setting Off
(press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options:
Run 1 Minute (press brake pedal 2x to program)
Run 2 Minutes (press brake pedal 3x to program)
Run 3 Minutes (press brake pedal 4x to program)
This feature when turned on configures the RS-210-DP 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 “Black/White wire” in the installation manual for
the proper connection of this important wire.
Introduction
Welcome to the convenience which is offered by your RS-210-DP
keyless entry & remote start system. The RS-210-DP 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. 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 RS-210-DP also operates your power unlock function). The type
of interface may vary from one vehicle to the other, and in some
cases may involve optional components.
- That the Programmable Features are in the default settings;
the operations of these features are also explained.
Your RS-210-DP system has three principal user components: the Blue
LED Status Light, the Valet Switch, and the Remote Transmitter.
The Blue LED Status Light informs you at a glance which of the
different conditions the system is in. Specific operations of this light are
described on pages 7-8.
The Valet Switch is used to access Valet Mode, which allows the
operator to suspend the remote start functions for as long as desired. The
Valet Switch is also used when programming remote transmitters and
system features. See “Using the Valet Switch” on page 6.
Transmitters are used to operate the RS-210-DP. Each system is
capable of being operated by up to four different remote Transmitters. The
remote transmitter has one push-button switch, which is labeled with an
icon as to indicate its primary function.
The Window Unit With Status Light & 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 communications from the system’s
remote transmitters.
Page - 3Page - 14
The Blue 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
7-8.

Light
Valet
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
Switch
• The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the
remote engine starting functions of the system placing
it in “Remote Start Valet Mode”.
• The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational
features and also for encoding transmitters to the system. A complete
description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on page 6.
The Transmitter & Basic Functions
“start” / “unlock”
button
Transmitter battery replacement:
Transmitter part number:
111-03 one button, long-range transmitter
”start”/”unlock” button (red)
• Pressing & releasing the “start” button twice within 5 seconds will
activate the remote start feature. Pressing it twice again, during remote
start, will stop the engine.
• Pressing the “start” button for three seconds will activate the “unlock”
output (for vehicles that disable the factory keyless entry while the
engine is runnning).

Remove the small screw from the
lower back case, and separate the
transmitter case halves. Replace the
27A (or MN27 battery) battery and
reassemble the transmitter.
Feature #3 Gasoline Or Diesel Engine
Factory Default Setting Gasoline (press brake pedal 1x to program)
Option: Diesel (press brake pedal 2x to program)
This feature changes the system's timing of the ignition and starter output sequence
for remotely starting vehicles with gas or diesel engines. When set for gasonline, the
starter output will occur 3 seconds after the ignitions turn on. Also, when the system
is in “Tachless” mode, the engine running status will be determined 10 seconds after
cranking. When set for diesel, the starter output will occur 20 seconds after the
ignitions turn on to allow for glow plug warming. Also, when the system is running
in “Tachless” mode, the engine running status will be determined 40 seconds after
cranking. This allows the vehicle battery(s) to recharge properly and show normal
voltage levels due to the heavy drain diesel engines have on the electrical system
during cranking. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Feature #4 Satellite Relay Port Green Wire Function:
Factory Default Setting Starter (press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options:
Pulse After Engine Start (press brake pedal 2x to program)
Pulse After Engine Stop (press brake pedal 3x to program)
Accessory (press brake pedal 4x to program)
This feature changes the operation of the Green wire (negative) on the satellite relay
port. This gives you the flexibility to accomodate certain vehicles that require any
out-of-the-ordinary pulses or remote start timing.
• The first setting operates as a secondary START output. This will have the same
pulse timing as the large Violet wire on the main harness.
• The second setting will give a 0.8 second pulse immediately after the large
Violet wire’s output stops.
• The third setting will give a 0.8 second pulse immediately after the remote start
shuts down by any means.
• The fourth setting operates as a secondary ACCESSORY output. This will have
the same operation as the large Orange wire on the main harness. This fea-
ture should only be programmed by the installer.
Feature #5 Extended Starter Cranking Time
Factory Default Setting Minimum (.7 Second)
(press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options:
Medium Lo (1.25 Second) (press brake pedal 2x to program)
Medium Hi (1.75 Second) (press brake pedal 3x to program)
Maximum (2.5 Second) (press brake pedal 4x to program)
Extended Starter Cranking Time operates in conjunction with the feature #2’s
“Tachless” setting. When the system is set for “Tachless”, this feature sets the
Feature #1 Remote Start Activation Pulses
Factory Default Setting:
1 pulse (press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options:
2 pulses (press brake pedal 2x to program)
3 pulses (press brake pedal 3x to program)
4 pulses (press brake pedal 4x to program)
This feature allows you to choose the number of pulses required on the White/Blue
activation wire to activate the remote start feature. This allows you to activate the
remote start with external devices. For example, you can connect this wire to a
factory installed keyless entry system. You can repurpose the factory lock button so
that multiple presses will activate the remote start. With any of the optional settings,
each 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pulse must occur within a 5 second window of the previous
pulse. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Feature #2 “Tach Wire” , “Tachless”, or “Data Tach”
Starter Operation
Factory Default Setting Tachless (press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options: Tach Wire (press brake pedal 2x to program)
Data Tach (press brake pedal 3x to program)
This feature selects the RS-210-DP processor’s method of determining the status of
the engine running during remote start operation. As explained in feature 5’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 a maximum of 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. Important: Before this feature is programmed, please refer to the
“Violet/White wire” section of the installation manual for proper wiring connection, and the Tach Learning Procedure. The “Data Tach” setting operates just like
the “Tach Wire” setting except it takes its reading from the D2D data port. Use of
this setting is determined by whether or not this feature is provided by the Databus
Interface module. If so, the Violet/White wire is not needed nor is the Tach Learning
Procedure Required. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Using The RS-210-DP System
To Activate/Deactivate Remote Start:
Press & Release the transmitter “start” button twice
THE PARKING
LIGHTS WILL TURN
ON
THE ENGINE WILL CRANK
• The parking light s will turn on and the Status Light
will flash fast to confirm that starting has begun.
• The sytem will then turn on the ignition circuit.
• Within a few seconds the lights will turn of f and the
starter will engage.
• The engine will start, run, and the starter will be
disengaged.
• The lights will turn back on and remain on while the system is controlling the engine. The status light will then continue to flash slowly.
• If the engine stalls, the system will make 3 more attempts to restart it.
Upon entering the vehicle place the ignition key in the switch and turn it
to the "On" position, pressing the brake pedal will deactivate the remote
start operation. Do not turn the key to the "Start" position!
If you decide not to drive your car after remote starting, you can simply
press & release the “start” button again to deactivate the remote start.
Otherwise, the system will “time-out” and turn off automatically after 10
minutes. NOTE: If there is no response when attempting to remote start
(and the system is not in valet mode), the system might be indicating that
a safety circuit is violated. This could mean that the hood is open, the gear
selector is not in park, or that the brake pedal is being pressed. Check
these safety circuits and retry.
When you leave your vehicle after driving, simply set the climate controls for what you would like to have operating upon remote starting - the
heater, defroster or air conditioning.
To Unlock the Vehicle's Doors:
Press & Hold the transmitter START button for 3 seconds
THE PARKING
LIGHTS WILL FLASH
TWICE THEN TURN
ON FOR 30 SECONDS
THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK
• The parking lights flash twice then stay on for 30
seconds to confirm unlocking. The Status Light will turn
off to indicate that the system is in an UNLOCKED state.
Page - 5Page - 12
Using The Valet Switch
Valet Mode
The system may be placed into a “valet mode” which prevents the
remote start feature from being activated. It also disables confirmation
chirps when unlocking the doors. V alet Mode should always be used when
you do not wish for remote starting to be operated, such as when you have
your vehicle serviced.
The Valet Switch, is used to engage Valet Mode:
• With the system in an unlocked state, press and hold the Valet Switch
for 3 seconds; the Status Light will light steady, to indicate V alet Mode, and
stay illuminated continuously while the system is in V alet Mode. The lights
will flash twice.
Once in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will result in no response
from the system. Keep this in mind if remote start stops functioning. The
system may have accidentally been placed in valet mode.
• To turn off Valet Mode, simply press & release the Valet Switch once.
The Status Light will turn off.
Pit-Stop Feature
This feature allows you to leave your vehicle and keep the engine running for quick errands. 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 V alet Switch twice; the parking lights
will illuminate; 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.
Feature #1 Remote Start Run Time
Factory Default Setting 10 Minutes (press brake pedal 1x to program)
Options:
5 Minutes (press brake pedal 2x to program)
15 Minutes (press brake pedal 3x to program)
20 Minutes (press brake pedal 4x 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 controller/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 #2 Steady/Flashing Lights During Remote Start
Factory Default Setting Steady (press brake pedal 1x to program)
Option: Flashing (press brake pedal 2x to program)
This Feature configures the operation of the vehicle’s parking lights during the
remote start operation. The default setting turns on the parking lights during remote
start; the other setting flashes the parking lights on and off during remote start.
The Installer Programmable Features
The second group of features, the Installer Programmable Features, are accessed as
the second level of features’ programming, which is pressing the Valet Switch 10
times instead of 5 times when entering Programming Mode (page 9). Caution:
These features have a critical affect upon the system’s operations, and in many
cases, also upon the system’s wiring connections. These features should
NEVER be changed, except by the installer or other qualified professional. This
booklet should be consulted for the proper wiring connections, as associated with
these programmable features.
Use the step-by-step instructions on page 9 to change any of the Installer
Programmable Features, along with the feature’s option choices and related
programming controller/transmitter button assignment found in the following
individual feature descriptions.
Page - 6 Page - 11
Change the Feature:
Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &
Release the brake pedal equal to the option desired.
• Pressing the brake pedal once typically turns the feature on; or sets the
feature’s first option. The Status Light and the parking lights will
flash once when this option is chosed.
• Pressing brake pedal twice also typically turns the feature off; or,
sets the feature’s second option. The Status Light and the parking lights will
flash twice.
• Many features have third, and even fourth setting options. Pressing the brake
pedal 3 or 4 times will select these options. Status Light & parking lights
flash three or four times respectively.
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 Status Light and parking lights will flash as many times as the V alet
Switch was pressed to indicate the new feature number which is now accessed.
Then press the brake pedal as described in Step 5 to change the newly
accessed feature as desired.
Step 7 Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming
actions, or turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
• The Status Light & parking lights will turn off.
- SEE PAGE 9 FOR PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS Each of the Programmable Features is described in detail on the following
pages. The User Programmable Features are described as this first group,
and the Installer Programmable Features as a second group. Installer
Programmable Features should only be used by the original or other
qualified installer, AND individual Installer Features should only be used
with the correct wiring connections.
The User Programmable Features
This group of User Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the first
level of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the
system’s operations, so the programming and operation of each are described.
Use the step-by-step instructions on page 9, and the complete features matrix on
page 15, to change any of the programmable features. Each feature, the option
choices and related programming transmitter button assignment are described in
detail in the following pages.
Other Remote Start Features
Turbo 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.
When this Installer Programmable Feature is programmed on, the RS210-DP 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 RS-210-DP will keep the
engine running for the selected time, and then automatically turn it off.
The turbo timer feature must be programmed by the installer, and turning it on offers three run time choices- 1, 2, or 3 minutes. The system may
be locked while the engine is running. Turbo T imer can be prevented from
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.
The Status Light
The Status Light helps to visually confirms the status of the system and
provides a high level of visual deterrence. The Status Light is located in the
window mount receiver unit.
Normal System Status
1) Off = The system is unlocked and the remote starter system is off, but
in standby mode.
2) On Constant = The system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote starter
system disabled.
Page - 7Page - 10
Starting System Status
The Status Light also indicates the remote start status:
4) Off = The remote starter system is off and in standby mode.
5) Flashing Slow (after sending the remote start command) = The engine
is running via the remote starting system.
6) Flashing Fast (after starting the remote start sequence) = 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 Valet Mode, the Status Light
illuminates solid. However, when this first occurs, the Status Light will flash
1 to 6 flashes before resuming solid illumination. This indicates why the
engine stopped running from the last previous remote starting attempt.
7) 1 Flash = Programmed run time expired.
8) 2 Flashes = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
9) 3 Flashes = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
10) 4 Flashes = Received transmitter command to stop.
11) 5 Flashes = Gear selector removed from “park”.
12) 6 FLashes = Low voltage.
Transmitter Protection
The Omega RS-210-DP features several security safeguards in one of
the most vulnerable areas of any remotely controlled system.
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 RS-210-DP’s Code
Jumping renders such “code grabbing” devices useless by randomly
changing each signal that the transmitter sends.

How to Program Transmitters
The RS-210-DP system is capable of being operated by as many as four
transmitters. Additional transmitters must be programmed to the system in
order to operate it (the originals, were programmed at the factory).
Transmitter Programming:
Step 1 Have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand.
Then, turn the ignition “on”.
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch
5 times. The parking & status lights will illuminate, confirming that
for the next 10 seconds the system is ready to learn a transmitter
code. Simply press and release the “start” button. When the first
code is learned, existing stored codes will be erased.
Step 3 Press the “start” button on each remaining transmitter one at a
time. The system will turn off the lights once to confirm that each was
learned. If a code is not received within a 10 second period, the
learning process will automatically terminate, as indicated by the
lights turning off.
Programming Features
Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
Step 2 Turn the ignition off.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switchch either:
5 times for User Programming (Solid Status Light)
OR
10 times for Installer Programming (Solid Status Light)
•The Status Light & parking lights will turn on to confirm that the system has
entered Programing Mode.
•In the case of accessing the Installer Mode, the lights will turn on at the fifth
valet switch press, immediately turn off at the sixth valet press, and then turn
on again at the tenth valet switch press.
•In either Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming activity
occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode.
Access a Feature:
Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same num-
ber of times as the desired feature’s number.
•The Status Light & parking lights will flash equal to the number of the
selected feature. The Status Light will continue to flash in the same manner
with a brief pause between each flashing sequence.
