Valet
Switch
Status
Light
Congratulations for your choice of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle
security and convenience system available today, by Omega Research and Devel-
opment. To enjoy the most from your new system, please take a few moments to
learn about the principal user components, and the basic operation of the system.
These subjects are found in next several pages, followed by more detailed specifics
of complete operations and features.

Introduction to the System
•
The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with
the vehicle’s ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security
system in the event the transmitter or transceiver 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 and transceivers to the system.
A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages 17-19.
The multicolored 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 20-21.
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
•
The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security
functions, including any automatic arming or locking
features (if used), and/or remote engine starting
functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet
Mode”; the later is “Starting Valet Mode” .
The system can operated by two types of devices: the
1-Way Transmitters
or
the optional
2-Way Controller
sold seperately. Your system comes with
1-Way
Transmitters
pre-learned to operate the system. The transmitter will fully operate
the system, but it can not receive signals nor report events from the vehicle like when
using the optional
2-Way Controller
. Your system can be operated by as many
as four controllers and/or transmitters.
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 and transmits the Echo technology
communications for the system’s 2-way operation.
The transmitters share the same four operational buttons, and their use to operate
the system is the same. These buttons and a brief description of what they do are:
this is done will the system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle must
remain undisturbed until that point. The complete instructions for remote starting,
including Stick Shift Remote Starting, starts on page 36.
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 Installation Instructions manual for proper
connection of this wire.
Note: Feature #4, Turbo Timer, and Feature #5, Stick Shift Remote Starting, may
both be used together in the system.

Feature #6 Engine Detection Method
Default Setting: Tachless Hi Sensitivity (
press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
Option 1: Tachless Lo Sensitivity (
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
Option 2: Tach Mode (
press
“II” button to program
)
Option 3: Datatach Mode (
press
“III” button to program
)
Option 4: Crank Only (
press
“Lock + Unlock” buttons to program
)
This selects how the system monitors the vehicle’s engine during remote start.
Important: This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
• Tachless- High Sensitivity: This monitors the vehicle’s battery voltage and
looks for a 0.3 volt increase, after cranking, to determine if the engine is running. It
uses a fixed crank time (determined by feature #7) and will make up to 4 start attempts,
increasing the crank time by 0.2 seconds with each attempt.
• Tachless- Low Sensitivity: This is the same as the “High Sensitivity” setting but
it looks for a 0.5 volt increase to determine if the engine is running.
• Tach Mode: This setting is the most accurate way to detect the engine running.
It will read the engine’s RPM’s to determine if the engine is running and to determine
the appropriate crank time. This mode will crank the starter until the engine reaches
the programmed RPM’s for up to 3 seconds. Before using this setting, please
refer to the Violet/White wire’s description on page 11 for proper wiring and
refer to the TACH LEARNING procedure on page 12.
• Datatach Mode: This operates very much like the “Tach Mode” setting except
it reads the engine’s RPM’s from the D2D port on the module by interfacing with
the vehicle’s data network. Before using this setting, be sure that the databus interface
module being used is capable of this function.
• Crank Time Only: This setting provides a “blind start” function where the system
will only attempt to start once. It will use the crank time programmed by feature #7.
After cranking, the ignitions will stay on for the programmed run time. This setting
is useful for some push-to-start vehicles where the starter cranking is delayed from
the starter output on this system. These vehicles automatically determine the proper
crank time and already monitor the engine’s running condition making it unnecessary
for this system to do so.
