Introduction
Congratulations for choosing one of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle secu-
rity and convenience systems available today. Omega Research & Development has
been a leader in vehicle security products for nearly 4 decades. Please take the time
to read this manual thoroughly so you can fully enjoy the benets and features this
system offers.
In this manual, you will primarily learn about 5 user interface components and how
they work together in alerting you to system changes as well as how you can control
system operations. Keep in mind that the operations described in this manual are writ-
ten to only reect the default system settings. Be sure to discuss any customization
with your installer so you can remember any variations from this guide.
Controllers: The system has a 2-way controller that, in addition to controlling the
system, it will give you conrmations on system operations as well as violation alerts.
A 1-way transmitter is also included. It is a standard remote control that still gives
you control over all features but without conrmations. The next section covers the
controllers’ operations in detail.
The Status Lights: These lights are built into the system’s window-mounted
antenna. They give you a visual indication of the system’s current state and provide
troubleshooting indicators. The operations of the status lights are covered later in this
manual.
The Valet Switch: This push button gives you access to system programming,
transmitter/controller programming, and valet functions. It is also built into the sys-
tem’s window-mounted antenna. The valet switch’s operations are also covered later
in this manual.
Flashing Lights: The system is connected to your vehicle’s parking lights to
provide a 360 degree visual conrmation, warning, & deterrence in almost all system
operations. Each operation described in this manual also includes the corresponding
indicator from the ashing lights. The ashing lights primarily provide visual deter-
rence when the system is violated.
Siren and/or Horn Sounding: The system includes an electronic siren that offers
conrmation chirps during daily operations and programming. It is also the primary
means of alerting anyone near your vehicle that the system has been violated. The
system is capable of sounding the vehicle’s horn in addition to, or in place of, the
electronic siren. Most system functions have a corresponding audible alert that is
described throughout this manual. Becoming familiar with these alerts will help you to
instantly understand any changes in the system’s status.

Controller & Transmitter Functions (cont’d)
Other Remote Start Features
It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines
allow the engine to idle for after driving to cool the turbocharger. When this Installer
Programmable Feature (#4) is enabled, the system 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 system will keep the engine running for
the programmed time (1, 2, or 3 minutes), and then automatically turn it off.
• The system may be locked while the engine is running. Turbo Timer can be
prevented from engaging, or “bypassed” if desired, by turning the engine off before
engaging the parking brake, or if it’s already engaged, step on the brake pedal to turn
the engine off.
This feature will automatically start the engine if the vehicle battery drops below 11
volts or the interior temperature drop to 15 (or 32) degrees fahrenheit. You must acti-
vate these features each time you park your car to use them. They can be activated
one of two ways:
Method 1 - Valet Switch
• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within 7 seconds
press the valet switch twice. If there is a 2 second delay without additional valet but-
ton presses, the horn will honk 3 times activating low voltage start mode.
• To activate low temp starting, enter low voltage start mode as described above
but, before the horn honks, press the valet switch 1 time (15 degrees) or 2 times (32
degrees) within 5 seconds. The horn will honk to conrm your selection.
Method 2 - With The Controller (Low Volt + Low Temp - 15 Degrees Only)
• Within 5 seconds of pressing LOCK, press the START button. You will get one chirp
and the 2-way controller will alternate between “ARM” and “RS AUTO”.
NOTE: When low temp start mode is activated, low voltage start is also activated.
These features will operate once every two hours until the ignition key is turned “ON”.

PIT-STOP FEATURE
This feature allows you to leave your engine running for making quick errands. To
use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch and your
foot off the brake pedal. Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will ash and
the horn chirps 5 times. Turn the key off and the engine will remain running for the
programmed run time.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION STARTING
Remote starting with a manual transmission requires a different installation method
and installer feature #5 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 green status light will start to 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 ash green every 2 seconds to indicate it is ready to be
remote started.
NOTE: Manual transmission starting is canceled if you enter the vehicle after
performing the setup procedure.
Other Remote Start Features (cont’d)
Security System Features
LAST DOOR ARMING
This system can be congured to arm automatically when all the vehicle’s doors
are closed (see user feature #2). When this feature is utilized, the siren/horn will chirp
once when all of the doors are closed. At that point, it will start a 30 second count-
down (indicated by a fast ashing status light). After 30 seconds, the system will arm
(and lock the doors if congured to do so). During the 30 second arming delay, if a
point of entry is opened, the countdown will pause until all entry points are closed
again. Turning ON the ignition key will cancel the last door arming sequence until the
key is turned off and the doors are all closed once again.
AUTOMATIC REARMING
This automatically rearms the alarm if the system is disarmed from the remote.
(see user feature #3 to enable). When disarmed by remote, the system will start a 90
second countdown (fast ashing status light) to arm the system. This is useful if the
controller may accidentally disarms the system when it’s kept in a purse or pocket
where other items could potentially press the buttons. ENHANCED AUTO REARM
allows you to cancel the countdown by pressing UNLOCK a second time within 5
seconds of the rst press to disarm the alarm.
PRE-WARN DETECTION
This system’s impact sensor is designed, in addition to detecting a full impact, will
warn away potential violators when it detects a light impact to the vehicle. The system
will respond by chirping the siren/horn 3 times and locking the doors. This is very use-
ful when an intruder attempts to unlock the door with “slim jim” types of devices.
![](/img.php?id=1846617&img=bgc.png)
11
WHEN THE SYSTEM TRIGGERS
If the system were to be compromised while armed, it will trigger sounding the
siren/horn and ashing the parking lights for 30 seconds (programmable). At this point
you will also be notied on the controller as to which zone is violated (if in range of the
system). When disarming the system after a trigger event, the siren/horn will chirp 4
times and the parking lights will ash 4 times instead of the standard 2 times.
LOCK ON TRIGGER: If a door is opened when the system is triggered, it will wait
until the door is closed again, then lock the doors. This patented feature is useful to
further deny a thief of further access to the vehicle.
STORM SAFE MODE: When the system is triggered, pressing the “UNLOCK” button
will stop the alarm from sounding but will leave the doors locked. This function is use-
ful if you have a false triggering situation due to violent weather.
ZONE VIOLATION RECALL: The system is capable of telling you which zones were
triggered last. In addition to the controller’s trigger history log (discussed later in this
manual), the system’s status light will ash to indicate which zone was triggered. This
occurs during the alarm cycle AND after disarming. The system will store the last trig-
gered zone until the vehicle’s ignition key is turned on. See “The Status Light” section
of this manual for further explanation of this feature.
NUISANCE PREVENTION: If the system prewarns 5 times within 15 minutes, it will
bypass the zone for the remainder of the 15 minutes before rearming the pre-warn
zone. Additionally, if a full trigger zone is left open, the system will trigger a total of 3
times before bypassing the zone. Once the zone is closed again, it will re-arm that
zone.
Security System Features (cont’d)
Using The Valet Switch
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
If you were to lose your controller or if the battery were to die while the system is
armed, you’d need to perform an emergency override to disarm the system and use
your vehicle. To perform an emergency override, use the following steps:
STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle (the alarm should trigger)
STEP 2 - Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position
STEP 3 - Press the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) once
NOTE: Enter your SecureCode at this time if programmed via user feature #1
STEP 4 - Turn the ignition “OFF”.
You can now use the vehicle as normal. It is advised to place the system in valet
mode until you have a functioning controller once again.
VALET MODES
ALARM VALET MODE, while active, completely disables all security functions.
Keyless entry and remote start are still operable. To enter valet mode, perform the
following steps:
STEP 1 - Disarm the system either with the controller or by performing an emergency
override (make sure not to hold the brake pedal).
STEP 2 - Press and hold the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna)
for 2 seconds. The system will chirp once and the RED status light will turn on. The
controller will reect on the status page that the system is in alarm valet mode.
![](/img.php?id=1846617&img=bgd.png)
12
Using The Valet Switch (cont’d)
REMOTE START VALET MODE, while active, disables remote start. Keyless entry
and alarm functions are still operable. To enter remote start valet mode, perform the
following steps:
STEP 1 - Disarm the system either with the controller or by performing an emergency
override and hold the brake pedal.
STEP 2 - Press and hold the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) for
2 seconds. The system will chirp once and the GREEN status light will turn on. The
controller will not reect remote start valet mode.
FULL VALET MODE combines both alarm & remote start valet modes. To acti-
vated full valet mode, follow these steps:
STEP 1 - Enter remote start valet. You will hear a chirp.
STEP 2 - Release the brake pedal but continue holding the valet switch. After 2 sec-
onds, you will hear a second chirp.
STEP 3 - Immediately release the valet switch. The status light will alternate between
RED and GREEN every second.
EXITING VALET MODES is as simple as just pressing and releasing the valet
switch once. The status light will turn off. This procedure is the same for all forms of
valet mode.
SECURECODE
SecureCode allows you to customize the number of valet presses required to per-
form an emergency override. This is an extra layer of security that prevents anyone
from overriding the alarm even if they have a key to the vehicle. SecureCode has 2
stages with the rst requiring 1-9 button valet presses and the second requiring 0-9
valet button presses. This gives you 99 possible combinations. To program a custom
SecureCode, please refer to user feature #1. To perform an emergency override with
SecureCode, use the following steps:
STEP 1 - With the system armed, enter the vehicle (the alarm will trigger).
STEP 2 - Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
STEP 3 - Within 5 seconds of step 2, press the valet switch to enter the rst digit of
your programmed code.
STEP 4 - After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding and chirp once (conrming
stage 1). The siren will then continue sounding.
STEP 5 - Now, within 5 seconds of step 4, press the valet switch to enter the second
digit of your code. If the code is correct, the alarm will disarm.
If the code is entered incorrectly, you must turn the ignition key OFF, then back
ON to try again. Additionally, if 2 failed attempts are made, the alarm will ignore any
further attempts for 2 minutes.
The Status Light
The status lights, located in the window-mount antenna, provide a visual indication
of the system’s status via GREEN (remote start status) and RED (alarm status) lights.
SECURITY SYSTEM STATUS (RED LIGHT):
OFF: The alarm is disarmed and not performing any automatic functions.
ON CONSTANT: The alarm is in valet mode.
FLASHING SLOW: The alarm is armed and monitoring all entry points.
FLASHING FAST: One of the automatic arming features is in progress.

The Status Light (cont’d)
AUTOMATIC TRANSMITTER VERIFICATION (RED LIGHT):
Every time you turn on the ignition key, the status light will ash a number of times
equal to the number of controllers/transmitters programmed to the system. This
unique security feature protects you from a potential thief (valet attendant, mechanic,
installer, etc.) from adding their own transmitter without your knowledge and access-
ing your vehicle and it’s contents at a later time (the perfect crime!).
ZONE VIOLATION RECALL:
If the security system is triggered, the RED status lights will ash a number of times
to indicate exactly which zone(s), has been violated. It will store the last 2 violated
zones and continually repeat the ash pattern until the system is disarmed and the
vehicle’s ignition key is turned ON.
2 FLASHES: Hood trigger
3 FLASHES: Door trigger
4 FLASHES: Sensor port trigger
REMOTE START STATUS (GREEN LIGHT):
OFF: The remote start is off and in standby mode.
ON CONSTANT: The remote start is in valet mode.
FLASHING SLOW: The engine was started successfully and is running.
FLASHING FAST: The remote start sequence has begun and is in process of starting
the vehicle’s engine.
REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS (GREEN LIGHT):
The remote start system can also indicate which zone caused the last remote
start cycle was ended. To see this indicator, place the system into alarm valet mode.
Immediately after the chirp, the GREEN status light will ash to indicate what caused
remote start to end.
1 FLASH: Run time expired.
2 FLASHES: Brake pedal was pressed.
3 FLASHES: Engine stalled or a bad tach signal.
4 FLASHES: Received transmitter command to stop.
5 FLASHES: Gear selector was moved from park(or the parking brake was released).
6 FLASHES: The alarm was triggered or low battery voltage.
COMBINATION INDICATIONS:
This indication reect combinations of functions involving the security system AND
remote start.

Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or replace-
ment transmitters does not turn on or otherwise affect the Unauthorized Transmitter
Alert (UTA) feature. Before you begin, have all transmitters which are to operate the
system at hand and make sure the correct vehicle prole (see page 14) is selected on
the controller(s)*.
Step 1 Then, turn the ignition “on”.
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of Step 1, press the Valet Switch 5 times. The siren/horn will
briey sound, conrming that the system is ready to learn a transmitter code.
Anti-Carjacking Protection
The system is equipped with two separate Anti-Carjacking protection features (igni-
tion, open door, or both). All are programmable, and must be turned on to operate.
Once activated, the user has 53 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection
process (described below). If Anti-Carjacking is not cancelled, 53 seconds after being
activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that the system
is about to enter into an alarm condition. The Valet Switch may still be pressed once
during this period to cancel the Anti-Carjacking process.
If the Anti-Carjacking process is not cancelled before the 60 second countdown
expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the siren and ashing the
parking lights. 30 seconds after this occurs, or should the ignition be turned off in the
meantime, the stater interrupt will engage. Once the system enters the alarm condi-
tion, it will not respond to the transmitter, nor will the system reset automatically after
60 seconds, and it can only be disengaged by:
Step 1 Turning the vehicle’s ignition off.
Step 2 Turning the ignition back on.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the Valet Switch. If
the SecureCode has been customized, the correct number of Valet Switch presses
must be made.
The different types of Anti-Carjacking protection are:
Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking activates every time the vehicle’s ignition is
turned on. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds of activating to can-
cel Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #15.
Door Anti-Carjacking activates when a door is opened after the vehicle is started
and the engine is running. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after
activation to cancel Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #15.

Programming Controllers/Transmitters (cont’d)
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 siren/horn will sound a brief series of chirps every time the
vehicle’s ignition key is turned on.
Step 3 Press the “lock” button on each transmitter one at a time. The system will
chirp the siren/horn once to conrm that each was learned. When programming the
2-way controller, the system’s ID is sent to the controller. Wait for the controller to
beep twice, indicating it has learned the system’s ID*. If a code is not received within
10 seconds of Step 2, the learning process will automatically exit.
* If you are changing which vehicle prole is programmed to your system (ie. it was
originally programmed for car1 and you want it to be car2), you will need to erase the
system ID from the controller before programming controllers/transmitters. To do so:
Step 1 Press LOCK, UNLOCK, TRUNK, & START simultaneously for 1 second (if
done correctly, the controller’s buttons will not illuminate). The controller will give a
short beep/vibration. Release the buttons.
Step 2 Press LOCK, UNLOCK, TRUNK, & START simultaneously for 1 second again.
The controller will give a long beep/vibration. Release the buttons, the system ID is
now erased.
Special Programming procedure to turn on the UTA feature: Using this method
to program transmitters or optional controllers, and to turn on the Unauthorized Trans-
mitter Alert feature.
Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any transmitter/con-
troller 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.
Step 1 Turn the ignition key “ON”, then “OFF”
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of step 1, press the valet switch 5 times to access user
features (10 times to access installer features).
~ The siren/horn will sound and the status light will turn on.
Step 3 Within 10 seconds of step 2, press the valet switch the number of times cor-
responding with the desired feature’s number.
~ The siren/horn will chirp, the status lights, and the parking lights will ash equal
to the selected feature.
Step 4 Change the feature by pressing the transmitter button that corresponds with
the desired setting. The siren/horn will chirp to correspond with the chosen setting.

Data Tach (press “start” button to program)
Crank Only (press “lock” & “unlock” to program)
This feature selects the method in which the remote start monitors the engine’s running condition
in remote start mode.
“Tachless Hi” sensitivity mode uses a preset crank time (see installer feature #7) 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 a voltage
increase of 0.5v after cranking.
“Tach Wire” Before this setting is programmed, refer to the “Violet/White wire” section of the
installation manual for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learn Procedure. 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 sup-
ported 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.
Feature #5 - Manual Transmission Mode
Off (press “unlock” button to program) - DEFAULT

the starter output will occur 15, 20, or 30 seconds after the ignitions turn on (allows for glow plug
warming). When in “Tachless” mode, the engine running status will be determined 40 seconds
after cranking.

200ms (press “unlock” button to program) - DEFAULT
300ms (press “trunk” button to program)
400ms (press “start” button to program)
When the vehicle’s interior temperature is below freezing, this feature adds extra crank time to the
base timing (see installer feature #7). It applies to tachless modes only (installer feature #6)
Feature #13 Data Port Protocol
ADS (iData) (press “unlock” button to program)
D2D (Trilogix) (press “lock” button to program) - DEFAULT
This feature determines which data protocol is used on both data ports. Choose this based on
the accessory being connected to the port. NOTE: When a BLADE is inserted, this feature
automatically switches to the ADS protocol.
Feature #14 Lock On Prewarn
On (press “lock” button to program) - DEFAULT
Off (press “unlock” button to program)
By default, if the prewarn zone is triggered, the system will automatically lock the doors to combat
unauthorized entry from lock picking. If this causes conict with OEM vehicle functions, you can
turn it off.
Feature #15 Blue Satellite Port, Blue Wire Function
Status (press “lock” button to program) - DEFAULT
Pulse Before Start (press “unlock” button to program)
Pulse After Start (press “trunk” button to program)
Pulse After Engine Off (press “start” button to program)
This determines the function of the Blue wire on the Blue satellite relay port.
The Status setting turns on briey before the Ignition output and stays on during remote start
mode. The other settings give a 0.8 second pulse under the selected condition.
Feature #16 Low Current / Motorcycle Mode
On (press “lock” button to program)
Off (press “unlock” button to program) - DEFAULT
This feature, when on, reduces the system’s current draw by as much as 40% to maximize the
vehicle’s battery life while the alarm is armed. It causes the starter interrupt output to only oper-
ate when the ignition is turned on and reduces the frequency of the “armed” ashing status light
signicantly. This is ideal when the system is to be used on vehicles that have limited battery
capacity and/or may sit for extended periods without charging the battery.
