Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this convenience system
by Omega Research & Development, Inc., a world leader in
vehicle security and conveince products since 1975. This system
is designed to offer ease of use and it’s modular design allows for
many features to be customizable to suit your needs.
Please note that this manual is written to refl ect the full capabil-
ity of this system though some features may not be available to
you because of vehicle limitations and/or chosen options at the
time of installation. It is also written to refl ect the operations in
their default confi gurations.
This system has three principal user components that you
should familiarize yourself with:
The Status Lights which indicate the current system status
and helps in troubleshooting failed remote start attempts as well
as in customizing the programmable features. The specifi c opera-
tions of the lights are described on page 8.
The Valet Switch is used to access transmitter and feature
3
programming. It is also used to place the system in valet mode
which temporarily bypasses the remote start feature. See “Using
the Valet Switch” on page 8.
The remote Transmitters are used to operate the system on a
daily basis. This system is capable of being operated by up to 4
different transmitters. Each transmitter has 1 button.
Installer Programmable Features (cont’d)

Installer Programmable Features (cont’d)
Pulse After Engine Start (press the brake pedal 2 times to program)
Ignition/Status Output (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
Feature #3 Gasoline Or Diesel Engine
Gasoline (press the brake pedal 1 time to program) - DEFAULT
Diesel (press the brake pedal 2 times 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 gasoline, 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.
Feature #4 Satellite Relay Port Green Wire Function
Accessory (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
Starter (press the brake pedal 1 time to program) - DEFAULT
13
This feature changes the operation of the Green wire (negative) on the satellite relay
port. This gives you the fl exibility to accomodate certain vehicles that require any
out-of-the-ordinary pulses or remote start timing.
Starter setting operates as a secondary START output. This will have the same
pulse timing as the large Violet wire on the main harness.
Pulse After Start setting will give a 0.8 second pulse immediately after the engine
starts and is running.
Ignition/Status Output setting will behave like the ignition output except it turns on
1.5 seconds earlier than the primary ignition output..
Accessory setting operates as a secondary ACCESSORY output. This will have the
same operation as the large Orange wire on the main harness.
Feature #5 Extended Starter Cranking Time
0.7 Second (press the brake pedal 1 time to program) - DEFAULT
1.00 Second (press the brake pedal 2 times to program)
1.5 Seconds (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
2.25 Seconds (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
This feature determines the crank time of the 1st start attempt when in “Tachless”
mode. If the engine doesn’t start on the fi rst attempt, it will retry up to 3 more times
extending the crank time by an additional 0.2 second with each attempt..

Installer Programmable Features
Feature #1 Remote Start Activation
1 button presses (press the brake pedal 1 time to program)
2 button presses (press the brake pedal 2 times to program) - DEFAULT
3 button presses (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
4 button presses (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
This feature allows you to choose the number of button presses AND pulses
required on the White/Blue activation wire to activate the remote start feature. All of
the settings must occur within a 5 second window of the previous pulse.
Feature #2 Engine Detection Method
Tachless Hi (press the brake pedal 1 time to program) - DEFAULT
Tachless Lo (press the brake pedal 2 times to program)
Tach Wire (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
Data Tach (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
Crank Only (press the brake pedal 5 times to program)
This feature selects the method in which the remote start monitors the engine’s run-
ning condition in remote start mode.
“Tachless Hi” sensitivity mode has an associated base starter output time duration
(see installer feature #5) and monitors the vehicle’s voltage level to determine if the
engine is running. This setting looks for a voltage increase of 0.3v after cranking.
“Tachless Lo” sensitivity mode operates like the “Tachless Hi” setting but looks for

second level of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the
system’s operations related to the installation and vehicle type AND SHOULD ONLY

a voltage increase of 0.5v after cranking.
“Tach Wire” Before this setting is programmed, refer to the “Violet/White wire” sec-
tion of the installation manual for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learn Pro-
cedure. It will crank the engine for up to 3 seconds or until a tach signal is detected.
“Data Tach” mode operates just like the “Tach Wire” setting except it takes its
reading from the D2D data port instead of using the Violet/White wire. Before using,
make sure this function is supported by the Databus Interface module.
“Crank Only” AKA “blind start” is similar to the “Tachless” settings however, it only
makes one start attempt and does not monitor engine running conditions. This is
useful for many “push-to-start” vehicles.

Other Remote Start Features (cont’d)
MANUAL TRANSMISSION STARTING
Remote starting with a manual transmission requires a different installation
method and installer feature #8 must be turned on. Also, a setup procedure that
ensures the transmission was left in neutral must be performed each time you leave
your vehicle and intend to use remote start later. Perform these steps:
1) With the engine running, hold the brake pedal, apply the parking brake, then
release the brake pedal.
2) Use the transmitter as if you were activating remote start (default: press START
twice). The status light will start to fl ash slow.
3) Turn off the ignition key and exit the vehicle.
4) Press LOCK on the transmitter. The engine will shut down (unless turbo timer is
on) and the status light will fl ash every 2 seconds to indicate it is ready to be remote
started.
NOTE: Manual transmission starting is canceled if you enter the vehicle after per-
forming the setup procedure. During remote starting, you have 20 seconds to turn
on the ignition key AFTER opening a door.

Using The Valet Switch
Valet Mode
Valet mode prevents the remote start feature from being activated. It also dis-
ables horn honks when unlocking the doors. Valet Mode should be used when you
do not wish for remote starting to be operated, such as when you have your vehicle
serviced. To engage Valet Mode:
• With the system “unlocked”, press and hold the Valet Switch for 3 seconds; the
Status Light will turn on and stay on to indicate Valet Mode. The lights will fl ash
twice. Once in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will result in no response.
Keep this in mind if remote start stops functioning.
• To turn off Valet Mode, simply press & release the Valet Switch once. The Status
Light will turn off.
The Status Light
The Status Light helps to visually confi rms 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 remote starter system is off, in standby mode.
2) On Constant = The system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote starter system
disabled.
Starting System Status
The Status Light also indicates the remote start status:
3) Flashing Slow (once per second): Remote start is on.
4) Flashing Fast (after activating remote start): The system is in the process of start-
ing the engine.
Remote Starting Diagnostics
Whenever the system is placed into Valet Mode, the Status Light illuminates
solid. However, when this fi rst occurs, the Status Light will fl ash 1 to 6 fl ashes be-
fore resuming solid illumination. This indicates why the engine stopped running from
the last previous remote starting attempt.
5) 1 Flash = Programmed run time expired.
6) 2 Flashes = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
7) 3 Flashes = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
10) 6 FLashes = Low voltage.
