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 0.8
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.
Feature #7 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-EDP 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-EDP keyless entry & remote start system. The RS-310-EDP 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-EDP 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-EDP 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-EDP system has three principal user components: the Blue LED Status Light, the Valet Switch, and the Remote Transmitter.
The Blue LED Status Lights 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.
The Valet Switch is used to access Valet Mode, which allows the
operator to suspend some of the security 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 page 8.
Transmitters are used to operate the RS-310-EDP. Each system is
capable of being operated by up to four different remote Transmitters. The remote transmitter has four push-button switches, each being labeled with an icon as to function.
However, a popular upgrade option is the Echo 2-way controller. The Echo, in addition to operating your system, also receives signals from the system, and displays a variety of system conditions on its LCD screen. A section of this booklet describes operating the RS-310-EDP with the Echo.

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. 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 9-10.
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the
Status Light
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
Valet
Switch
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 page 8.

Transmitter battery replacement:
Remove the small screw from the
lower back case, and separate the
transmitter case halves. Replace the
CR2032 (or 2 CR2016 batteries) coin-
type battery and reassemble the transmitter.
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 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 #2’s “Tachless” setting. When the system is set for “Tachless”, this feature sets the duration of the starter output 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 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-310­EDP’s doorlocking outputs to suit different vehicle requirements.
The first setting (programmed by the “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.
Feature #2 “Tach Wire” , “Tachless”, or “Data Tach” Starter Operation
Factory Default Setting: Tachless (press lock” button to program) Options: Tach Wire (press unlock” button to program)
Data Tach (press trunk” button to program)
This feature selects the RS-310-EDP 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.
Feature #3 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 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. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Feature #4 Satellite Relay Port Green Wire Function:
Factory Default Setting: Starter (press lock” button to program) Options:
Pulse After Engine Start (press unlock” button to program) Pulse After Engine Stop (press trunk” button to program) Accessory (press start” button to program)

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. 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 Valet Mode, and stay 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 Status Light will turn off.
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.
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 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 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.
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).

• 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.
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.
Other Remote Start Features
Low Battery Automatic Starting Feature
Setting this feature to operate has the RS-310-EDP 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 starting 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 RS­310-EDP 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-EDP 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.

3) Flashing Slow = The system is locked, programming functions are disabled and the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
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 Green 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-310-EDP 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-EDP’s Code Jumping renders such “code grabbing” devices useless by randomly changing each signal that the transmitter sends.
Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM (ATV) 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.
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert
may be turned on by the user for added security (see “How to Program Transmitters”). When this feature is utilized, a warning consisting of a brief series of horn chirps sounds every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The warning will operate for 48 hours. ATV also extends to 90 seconds.

How to Program Transmitters
The RS-310-EDP 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 horn 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 horn honk.
If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a transmitter to the system will activate the “UTA” warning and the extended Status Light indication. For the next 48 hours, the horn will sound a brief series of chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition key is turned 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.
Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the warning will sound for 48 hours after any transmitter programming, including the programming session which was used to turn it on. This feature can only be turned off again by sending the system back to Omega for a reset.
