Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-4LX Deluxe Modular Remote Car Starter.
The RS-4LX
will allow you to start your vehicle's engine from the comfort of your home
or office, allowing your vehicle to warm up in winter and cool down in summer. When
you leave your vehicle, simply set the climate controls for what you desire to be operating
upon remote start - heater, defroster or air conditioning.
Omega Research and Development, Inc. has been a leader in vehicle security and ve-
hicle convenience products since 1970. Your RS-4LX is quality engineered, micropro-
cessor controlled and manufactured in the U.S.A. It is an extremely sophisticated system
with multiple built-in safety and security features. We highly recommend that this system
be professionally installed, as the complexity of the modern automobile and the nature of
circuits to be accessed is often beyond the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
The RS-4LX is an "add on" unit designed to be used in conjunction with another re-
mote control unit such as a remote vehicle security system, a keyless entry device or a
remote receiver unit. Because the host activating unit will vary from application to appli-
cation, the proper button or buttons to press to activate the remote starter can only be
determined by the installer.
Please take time to review this manual, which is divided into two parts. The first
section will explain the operation of your RS-4LX
Deluxe Remote Car Starter, and the
second section provides instructions for the installer.

Other OEM Anti-Theft Systems: There are other OEM antitheft systems which will
require attention when installing a remote starter. In General Motors vehicles, an ad-
vanced form of VATS known as PASSLOCK will require an optional bypass. In certain
Ford vehicles, a transponder-based Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) will also require an
optional bypass. Both of these bypasses are available from Omega, and complete instruc-
tions are included with each.
The RS-4LX And REC-2
ATV
Modular Remote Keyless Entry/Starting System:
The RS-4LX can be used with the REC-2
ATV
keyless entry receiver in an easy-to install
modular fashion. The RS-4LX control module has a Black 5-pin port which supplies the
necessary circuits for the REC-2
ATV
's operation, and also the return circuit which activates
the RS-4LX. An optional wiring harness (H-RS5) is all that is required for the direct
connection of the two control modules.
Please note that the operation of the "Trunk"
and "3rd Channel" differ- "the "trunk" button
must be pressed for 2 seconds to obtain the
output while pressing the "Option" button
produces an instant output. Both of these
wires are connected on the H-RS5
wiring harness; this allows the installer
to choose the timing for remote starting.
Use this diagram to configure a relay
for remote trunk release.
