• The second setting (programmed by the “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 “trunk” button ). The
lock output pulse, in this setting, is 0.8 second.
• The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “start” button) may be
used with vehicles which are originally equipped with the total-closure 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 0.8 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
“lock” or “unlock” button. Only the output will stop- pressing
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 #6 Turbo Timer
Factory Default Setting Off
(press “lock” button to program)
Options:
Run 1 Minute (press “unlock” button to program)
Run 2 Minutes (press “trunk” button to program)
Run 3 Minutes (press “start” button to program)
This feature when turned on configures the RS-310 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-310 keyless
entry & remote start system. The RS-310 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-310 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 the RS-310 operating the vehicle's existing horn is
an available option.
- That the Programmable Features are in the default settings;
the operations of these features are also explained.
Your RS-310 system has two principal user components: the Valet
Switch, and the Remote Transmitter. An LED Status Light can be added
to the system by your installing dealer.
The Valet Switch is used to access Valet Mode, which allows the
operator to suspend some of the system's normal functions for as long as
desired. The Valet Switch may also be used, instead of the remote
transmitter, to override a locked system. The Valet Switch is also used when
programming remote transmitters and system features.
See “Using the Valet Switch” on pages 19-20.
Transmitters are used to operate the RS-310. Each system is capable
of being operated by up to four different remote Transmitters, which are
described on the following page. The remote transmitter has four pushbutton switches, each being labeled with an icon as to function.
The OPTIONAL LED Status Light informs you at a glance which of
the different conditions the system is in, and also serves as a visual
deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific operations of this light are
described on pages 9-10. A status light is not included with your system. If
you do not have one and would like one, contact your installing dealer for
more information.
Page - 3Page - 18
The Valet Switch
One of the components, mounted in the vehicle’s interior, is the Valet
Switch which is used for a variety of functions including transmitter and
feature programming.
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
• 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 can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s
ignition key, to perform an emergency override when the system is in a
“locked” state. This is used in the event the transmitter 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 to the system.
A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages
19-20.
The Transmitter
“lock”
button
“unlock”
button
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 #4 Extended Starter Cranking Time
Factory Default Setting Minimum (.7 Second)
(press “lock” button to program)
Options:
Medium Lo (1.25 Second) (press “unlock” button to program)
Medium Hi (1.75 Second) (press “trunk” button to program)
Maximum (2.5 Second) (press “start” button to program)
Extended Starter Cranking Time operates in conjunction with the feature #1’s
“Tachless” setting. When the system is set for “Tachless”, this feature sets the
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.
“trunk” button
Transmitter part number: 146-07B

type battery and reassemble the transmitter.
“lock”
• Pressing and releasing the “lock” button locks the doors.
• Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will first lock, then
activate the Panic feature.
Page - 4 Page - 17
Feature #5 Doorlocking Functions
Factory Default Setting 0.8 Second Lock & Unlock Output
(press “lock” button to program)
Options:
3 Second Lock & Unlock Output (press “unlock” button to program)
Double Pulse Unlock Output (press “trunk” button to program)
Total Closure Lock Output (press “start” button to program)
This single feature gives the installer several needed options, to match the RS-310’s
doorlocking outputs to suite different vehicle requirements.
• The first setting (programmed by the “arm/lock” button) has the system
produce both the lock and unlock outputs as 0.8 second in duration. This is the
most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.
Use the step-by-step instructions on page 12 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.
Feature #1 “Tach Wire” or “Tachless” Starter Operation
Factory Default Setting Tachless (press “lock” button to program)
Options: Tach Wire (press “unlock” button to program)
This feature selects the RS-310 processor’s method of determining the status of the
engine running during remote start operation. As explained in feature 4’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. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Feature #2 Gasoline Or Diesel Engine
Factory Default Setting Gasoline (press “lock” button to program)
Option: Diesel (press “unlock” button 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.
“unlock”
• Pressing and releasing the “unlock” button unlocks the doors
• Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will first unlock,
then activate the Panic feature.
”trunk” / ”||”
• Pressing the “trunk” button for two seconds can be used to activate
an extra output, known as the “2nd channel”, for an optional function
such as trunk release.
• Pressing and releasing this button twice locks or unlocks the system
without the confirmation chirps.
”start” / ”|||” button (red)
• Pressing and holding the “start” button once will activate the
remote start feature. Pressing during the remote start operation will stop
the engine from running.

either the LOCK or UNLOCK button again- Panic stops
with either locked doors or unlocked doors, depending on which button is used.
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 locking or unlocking the doors. Valet Mode should always be
used when you do not wish for remote starting to be operated, such as
when you have your vehicle serviced or leave it with someone else. The
Valet Switch, is used to engage Valet Mode:
• With the system in an unlocked state, simply press and hold the Valet
Switch for 3 seconds; the optional Status Light will light steady, to indicate
Valet Mode, and st ay illuminated continuously while the system is in Valet
Mode. The horn will chirp once and 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 check for
valet mode, turn the ignition key to the RUN/ON position, then back OFF.
If the system is in valet mode, the horn will chirp once.
• To turn off Valet Mode, simply press & release the Valet Switch once.
The optional Status Light will turn off.
Valet Mode only prevents the remote starting operation; the lock, unlock,
and trunk release functions all continue to operate when in Valet Mode.
Emergency Override
If the system is in a locked state, you cannot perform some functions
like transmitter or feature programming. If the system is locked and you do
not have a transmitter to unlock the system, you can perform an emergency override to access the programming functions.
Page - 7Page - 14
• With the system in a locked state, simply turn the ignition key to the
RUN/ON position.
• Press and release the valet switch once.
You should now be able to access programming functions.
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 p arking lights will flash once and the horn 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.
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 horn will chirp, the parking lights, (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. Then use the controller or transmitter
as described in Ste p 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 horn will sound briefly (and the Status Indicator Light will go out).
The User Programmable Features
Other Remote Start Features
Low Battery Automatic Starting Feature
This feature may be used anytime. Setting this feature to operate has
the RS-310 automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery voltage drop to 10.5 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 st arting must be activated for each
occasion in which you desire it to operate, as follows:
• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within
7 seconds press the brake pedal twice. The system will chirp 6 times.
Then, within 5 seconds, exit the vehicle and press the transmitter’s
“lock” button to lock the vehicle.
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 10.5 volts, it will automatically start the engine.
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 RS-310
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-310 will keep the
engine running for the selected time, and then automatically turn it off.

ber of times as the desired feature’s number.
•The horn will chirp, the parking light output will flash, (and the Status
Indicator Light will flash) as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to
indicate the feature number accessed.
Release the appropriate controller or transmitter button.
• Pressing the “lock” button typically turns the feature on; or sets the
feature’s first option. The horn will chirp once and the parking lights will
flash once when this button is pressed.
• Pressing the “unlock” button also typically turns the feature off; or,
sets the feature’s second option. The horn will chirp twice and the lights will
flash twice.
• Many features have third, and even fourth setting options. Pressing the “trunk”
and “start” buttons select these options. Confirmation chirps when these
buttons are pressed are three and four chirps respectively.
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 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.
The Optional Status Light
When this option is added, the Status Light helps to visually confirms the
status of the system and provides a high level of visual deterrence. The
Status Light is typically located in the vehicle interior, mounted in the dash
panel.
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.
3) Flashing Slow = The system is locked, programming functions are
disabled and 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:
4) 1 Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.
5) 2 Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.
6) 3 Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.
7) 4 Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed.
Starting System Status
The Status Light also indicates the status of the remote starting part of
the system:
8) Off = The remote starter system is off and in standby mode.
9) Flashing Slow (after sending the remote start command) = The engine
is running via the remote starting system.
10) 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 Green flashes before resuming solid illumination. This indicates why
the engine stopped running from the last previous remote starting attempt.
11) 1 Flash = Programmed run time expired.
12) 2 Flashes = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
13) 3 Flashes = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
14) 4 Flashes = Received transmitter command to stop.
15) 5 Flashes = Gear selector removed from “park”.
16) 6 FLashes = Low voltage.
Transmitter Protection
The Omega RS-310 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-310’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. An
Optional Status Light needs to be added to the system to utilize this
feature.
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
is added to operate the system, for 48 hours afterward a warning consisting
of a brief series of horn 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 RS-310 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).
It is during the programming procedure that the Unauthorized Transmitter
Alert feature may be turned on.
Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or
replacement transmitters does not turn on or otherwise affect the
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (UTA) feature.
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 horn 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 “lock” button. When
the first code is learned all existing stored codes will be erased.
Step 3 Press the “lock” button on each remaining transmitter one at a time.
The system will chirp the siren once to confirm that each was
learned. The transmitter’s other three button's functions will
automatically be assigned when the “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 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 transmitters 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 “lock”
button, press the “lock” and the “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.
