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.

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.

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 thetrunkbutton 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.

REPEATEDLY
OR
THE DOORS WILL LOCK or UNLOCK
The horn will sound, the parking lights will flash and the doors will lock or unlock, depending on the trans­mitter button used. To deactivate Panic, simply press 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.
Page - 9Page - 12
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.
