for the voltage sensing type of starter output operation. 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 pro-

grammed by the installer.

Note: “Base timing” is the maximum time period that the MAX-EDP will

engage the starter, but only if it does not detect the engine has started

running.

Feature #10 Gasoline Or Diesel Engine

Factory Default Setting Gasoline (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Diesel (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This feature changes the system's timing of the ignition and starter output

sequence for remotely starting vehicles with a diesel engine. This feature

should only be programmed by the installer.

Welcome to the convenience and protection which is offered by your

MAX-EDP vehicle security system. The MAX-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. This sophisticated, state-of-

the-art product deters theft of your vehicle, and its contents. 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 MAX-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 an optional electronic siren is used for the system’s audible

output; the MAX-EDP operating the vehicle's existing horn is also

an available option.

- That the Programmable Features are in the default settings;

the operations of these features are also explained.

Your MAX-EDP system has three principal user components: the

multicolored LED Status Light, the Valet Switch, and the Remote Trans-

mitter.

Introduction

Page - 4

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 an armed and activated system. The Valet Switch

TheRed and GreenLED StatusLight informsyouata glancewhich

of the different conditions the security system is in, and also serves as a

visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific operations of this light are

described on pages 22-23.

is also used when programming remote transmitters and system features.

See “Using the Valet Switch” on pages 19 and 20.

Transmitters are used to operate the MAX-EDP. Each system is

capableofbeingoperatedbyuptofourdifferentremoteTransmitters,which

are described on the following page. The remote transmitter has four push-

press the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons at the

same time, which keeps the engine running after removing the ignition key.

After exiting, the user must then arm the system, locking the vehicle doors,

by pressing the “arm/lock” button. Only after 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 14.

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.

Feature #7 Extended Starter Cranking Time

Factory Default Setting Minimum (.7 Second)

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Medium Lo (1.25 Second) (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Medium Hi (1.75 Second) (press “OPTION”button to program)

Maximum (2.5 Second) (press red “panic”button to program)

Extended Starter Cranking Time operates in conjunction with the previous

feature’s “Tachless” setting. The MAX-EDP processor is capable of

detecting the running engine by two separate methods- the use of the

vehicle’s tachometer (“tach”) wire for a direct engine RPM input, or by

monitoring the vehicle’s fluctuating voltage levels caused by the starting

process. This feature sets the duration of the starter output’s base timing

Feature #6 “Tach Wire” or “Tachless” Starter Operation

Factory Default Setting Tachless (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Tach Wire (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

ThisfeatureselectstheMAX-EDP’smethodofdeterminingthestatusofthe

engine running during remote start operation. As explained in the previous

feature’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 3

seconds, but the processor adjusts the actual starter engagement time

accordingly. Connectinganduseofthe“TachWire”isthemostreliableform

of engine running information input, and its use is recommended. This

feature should only be programmed by the installer.

Important: Before this feature is programmed, please refer to the “Instal-

lation Manual” for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learning Proce-

dure, both of which are required for use of this feature.

button switches, each being labeled with an icon as to function.

However, a popular upgrade option supplementing the standard trans-

mitter 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 MAX-EDP with the Echo.

The Status Light and the Valet Switch

The location of the Valet Switch and the Status Light is determined by

the installer of the MAX-EDP system. While the location of the Status Light

should be obvious, the Valet Switch should not. The Valet Switch is

important to the user’s operation of the Omega MAX-EDP system. It may

have been mounted separately from the Status Light in a hidden, yet

accessible location.

By itself, the Valet

Switch is a small,

round button, about

the size of a dime.

Please ensure that you and others who use your vehicle are

aware of the location of the Valet Switch and its uses.

Or, the Valet Switch and Status

Light may have been mounted

in special holder, which is usu-

ally located below the dash.

This holder has the system’s

Status Light on front (upper im-

age) and the Valet Switch on its

bottom (lower image).

Feature #5 Stick Shift Remote Starting

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature changes the parameters of the MAX-EDP’s remote start

operation to be suitable for manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a

“setup” procedure which must be followed upon exiting the vehicle. When

this feature is turned on, the operator must set the parking brake and then

Feature #4 Turbo Timer

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Run 1 Minute (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Run 2 Minutes (press “OPTION”button to program)

Run 3 Minutes (press red “panic”button to program)

This feature, the operation of which is described on page 17, when turned

on configures the MAX-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 Installation Instruc-

tions manual for proper connection of this wire.

Feature #3 Horn Relay Functions

Factory Default Setting Horn Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Door Unlock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Ignition Output (press “OPTION”button to program)

Accessory Output (press red “panic”button to program)

This is the second of two built-in relays which can be programmed to

perform several different functions. The primary function of this second

relay, is that it is available to operate the vehicle’s existing horn; either in

conjunctionwith theelectronic siren, orin place ofthe siren. Using boththe

siren and the horn creates an extremely effective security system.

Optionally, if desired or needed, this relay can be programmed to be a

door unlock relay, or as additional medium-capacity ignition or accessory

outputs, if needed for remote starting use.

is the most common form needed, which interfaces most vehicles.

• The second setting (programmed by the “disarm/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

thedoors and/or todisarm a factory-equippedsecurity system, which is

whattheDouble PulseUnlock settingprovides (itisprogrammed bythe

“OPTION”button ). The lock output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.

• TheTotalClosureLockOutput(programmedbythe“panic”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

thedoors. Selectingthisfeaturesettingchangesthesystem’sdoorlock

Note: When this feature is turned on, during the 28 second period after

armingthe system, thelock output canbe stopped ondemand by press-

ingthe “arm/lock”or “disarm/unlock” button. Only the outputwill 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 pri-

mary system doorlocking outputs.

Options:

3 Second Lock & Unlock Output (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Double Pulse Unlock Output (press “OPTION”button to program)

Total Closure Lock Output (press red “panic”button to program)

This single feature gives the installer several needed options, to match the

MAX-EDP’s doorlocking outputs to suite different vehicle requirements.

Arming Using the Transmitter

Thesystem canalways bearmed fromthe transmitter,if theignition key

is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, exit the

vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press and release the “arm/

lock” button once.

Your MAX-EDP system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle

and its contents. “Arming” your system turns on its protection, disabling

thevehicle’s starter and locking the doors. Once thesystem isArmed, any

intrusion attempt will Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho

siren and flashing the parking and interior lights to attract attention. The

unique and patented “2-in-1” Psyren psycho siren actually produces the

sounds of two different sirens at once, ensuring that it won’t be ignored like

all of the other “common” car alarms. Disarming the system turns off the

protection, unlocking the doors and turning on the parking and interior

lights, allowing lighted access to, and normal use of, the vehicle.

There are two methods of arming the MAX-EDP:

1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing the

“arm/lock” button. The system must not already be armed or be in

Valet Mode, and the vehicle’s ignition key must be off.

2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system

to automatically arm itself every time you exit the vehicle. This method

of arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

Using the MAX-EDP System

Regardless of how it became armed, if the system is armed the system’s

Status Light flashes in the red color.

The system’s reaction: Theparking and interior lights willflash once, the

siren will chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash red, confirming

that the system is armed.* In addition, the doors will lock and the starter

interrupt will engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your

security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion

attempt is detected.

*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with

doorlocks connected, and he interior lights must be connected. The vehicle

horn may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.

design allows repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/ Page - 37

Feature #23 Steady/Flashing Lights During Remote Start

Factory Default Setting Steady (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Flashing (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This Feature configures the system's operation of the vehicle’s parking

lights when the engine is running after it has been remotely started. The

factory default setting has the parking lights illuminating steady during the

should NEVER be used when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed

structure or garage.

ArmingBypass:Uponarming,ifanysystemsensingcircuitisinoperable,

that circuit only will automatically be bypassed. When an unsecured

sensing circuit is in a bypassed state, all other normally operating circuits

will be protected. Should the bypassed circuit become secured, it will

automatically be reinstated for protection 5 seconds later. When certain

protectioncircuitsarebypassed,suchasthehood/trunkandimpactsensor,

and the system is armed, it will indicate this by chirping the siren three time

and flashing the parking lights three times instead of the normal arming

indication of one chirp and one flash.

Forexample,shouldthetrunkbeopen,youcanstillarmthe systemwith

the transmitter, and in this case the arming indicator will be 3 siren chirps

and 3 parking light flashes. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming

the system with the transmitter.

Sensor Bypass: When arming the MAX-EDP system with the

transmitter, you may conveniently and easily temporarily deactivate the

impact sensor without affecting the system’s other sensing circuits. To

deactivate the sensor, arm the system by pressing the “arm/lock” button,

then press and release the transmitter’s “OPTION”button within three

seconds. You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that the security

system has armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next time

the system is armed normally with one “arm/lock” button press, the sensor

will again be part of your protection.

Automatic “Last Door Arming” of the System

TheMAX-EDPcan alsobe programmedtoautomatically armitself, and

in this process, to lock or not lock the doors. When this feature is utilized,

closing the vehicle's last door will cause the siren to chirp once, the parking

and interior lights to flash once and the Status Light to start rapidly flashing

red. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp again and the lights will flash

again, the doors will lock (which is separately programmable) and the

Status Light will slow to a steady red flash, confirming that the security

system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened before the single siren

chirp at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming process stops, and will reset to

startoverwhen thepoint ofentryis againclosed. All protectedentriesmust

be closed to initiate the Last Door Arming sequence.

While the System is Armed, and should it Trigger

Whilethesecurity systemisarmed, theStatus Light flashesred incolor.

Shouldany intrusionattempt be detected,the systemwill instantly activate,

or "trigger". Once triggered, the MAX-EDP loudly sounds the siren and

flashes the parking and interior lights on and off.

When it is first triggered, the Status Light changes its red flash pattern,

and the doors will automatically relock. Should a door be open when the

system triggers, it will wait until the door is closed, and at that time relock

the doors. The automatic relocking of the doors denies access to the thief,

and is just one of the many exclusive patented features of the MAX-EDP.

The siren will sound and the parking and interior lights will flash for 30

seconds unless you disarm the system first (60, 90 and 120 seconds

activated periods are options- see Feature #11, page 34). If all protected

entries are secure at the end of the 30 seconds, the system will stop and

rearm itself, ready to detect further entry attempts. If there is a protected

entry still open or the impact sensor still in a violated state at the end of 30

seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 30 second cycles. In this

case the system will stop after a total of 3 cycles and rearm automatically,

and then ignore only the open entry or violated sensor. When the entry is

closed or the sensor is reset, protection will begin instantly for the formerly

affected circuit.

Anytimethesecuritysystemtriggers, theStatusLightwillindicate which

protected zone triggered the system by flashing two, three or four times

between pauses, in the red color which indicates “alarm” operations. This

“Zone Violation” code will continue to flash, even after disarming. The

system can hold two different violation codes in it's memory, which is

cleared by turning the ignition switch "on".

OncetheMAX-EDPhasbeenactivatedandreset,thedisarmingconfirmation

changes to make the user aware that it has done so (see the following

“Disarming the System” section).

you have these options: put the system into Alarm Valet Mode (page 19),

leavethe door open, or, in most cases turning on the dome light may cause

the system to detect that your door is still open. Leaving the ignition key

turned "on" is not recommended.

Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not have

to remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle,

and using it may entitle you to an insurance discount (please check with

your agent or carrier). Feature #15 Steady Siren or Pulsed Horn

Factory Default Setting Steady Siren

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Pulsed Horn Low (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Pulsed Horn Medium (press “OPTION”button to program)

Pulsed Horn High (press red “panic”button to program)

It is important to understand that the MAX-EDP has a primary audible out-

put, for the electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable relay

which among its applications is being used to sound the vehicle’s existing

horn. This feature changes only the primary audible output, so that it can

be utilized to sound the existing horn by itself. This is for cases when the

programmable relay is desired for other features, such as unlocking the

doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory output should it be needed

for the remote starting operation.

The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the

electronic siren requires. When programming this feature for using the

output for the vehicle’s horn, the optional setting produce pulsed output on

the system’s siren wire, in three different pulse timings, which allow a de-

gree of customizing the horn’s sound during the alarm activation.

Feature #16 Alarm Functions Bypass

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature converts the system into a strictly Remote Keyless Entry Sys-

tem by eliminating all antitheft alarm-oriented operations and features.

When this feature is programmed on, the MAX-EDP has remote keyless

entry and engine starting operation only.

Feature #17 Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by the ignition key being turned on.

The Anti-Carjacking protection, and the three ways to initiate it are de-

scribed on pages 24 & 25.

There are two methods of disarming the MAX-EDP:

Disarming the System

Disarming the System Using

the Transmitter

Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor is triggered by a light

impact or shock to the vehicle, the security system will respond by chirping

the siren 3 times and locking the doors. After this Prewarning circuit has

been triggered five times it will automatically shutdown until the alarm

system is disarmed, then armed.

Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding

the siren and flashing the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” button will

disarm the system, but not unlock the doors. This safety feature ensures

that the vehicle remain secure should the system require disarming due to

being activated from nuisance or malicious false sensory inputs, such as

typically produced by severe weather conditions. To remotely unlock the

doors if the system is disarmed while activated, simply repeat the disarm

operation by pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button again. If

disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present,

including the unlocking of the doors.

Automatic Rearming Feature: Automatic Rearming is a programmable

feature which ensures that your system is never inadvertently disarmed. It

is possible to accidentally or unknowingly operate the transmitter from a

pocketorpurse. Youmaynotevenbeawareofanaccidentaldisarmingdue

to the enhanced operating distance offered by the MAX-EDP’s extended

range. Automatic Rearming has the alarm rearm itself 90 seconds after it

is has been disarmed, unless a vehicle door is opened and the ignition key

turned on. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing Status Light

after the disarming, unless the system was triggered, in which case a Zone

Violation code will flash instead.

During the 90 second period, Automatic Rearming can be paused by

opening the door or stopped completely by turning the ignition key "on".

Also, Automatic Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm

Disarming the System by Emergency Override

Should the transmitter become lost, damaged, or its batteries become

exhausted, the Valet Switch and

the vehicle’s ignition key may be used to

disarm the system:

Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the

driver's door (be aware that the alarm will trigger when the door is

opened).

Step 3 Within5 secondspress andreleasethe Valet Switchonetime. The

system will disarm.

Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.

Options:

Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Chirps Excepting Valet Mode (press “OPTION”button to program)

Chirps in Valet Mode Only (press red “panic”button to program)

This feature removes the system’s 1 arming and 2 disarming confirmation

chirps. When this feature is used to remove these chirps, the system will

still have 3 chirps

upon arming if a protected zone is violated, and still have 4 chirps upon

disarming if the system was previously activated. Using this feature to turn

off the arm and disarming chirps will also not affect the Prewarning

operation, Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (if used), nor will it affect the

chirps used when programming.

The other two settings will have the confirmation chirps operate only

when the system is in Valet Mode, and not otherwise; or, the chirps will

operate except when the system is in Valet Mode.

Feature #10 Confirmation Chirp Volume

Factory Default Setting Medium High

(press “OPTION”button to program)

Options:

Low (softest) (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Medium Low (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

High (loudest) (press red “panic”button to program)

Thisfeature allows the choiceof four different volume levels of the system’s

confirmation chirps, and when programming it, the buttons can be repeat-

edly and sequentially pressed, thus making it easy to hear and choose the

setting with the best chirp volume.

This feature operates regardless of how feature #15, “Steady Siren” or

“Pulsed Horn” is set. Feature #15 sets “Steady”; or “Pulsed” as three dif-

ferent timings, for the activated alarm period output. This feature, #10,

affects only the confirmation chirps.

Additionally, the MAX-EDP system features an unique “enhanced” remote

Panic operation, regarding additional operations during Panic, and in

associationwiththetransmitterbuttonusedinit’sactivationordeactivation:

Remote Panic Feature

To disengage remote Panic, simply press and release any one of the same

three transmitter buttons, or, allow it automatically stop after 30 seconds.

• Activating Panic with the red “panic” button will not affect the system’s

armed or disarmed status; the doors locked or unlock condition; nor will

it affect the starter disable circuit.

• Activating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will unlock the doors,

disarm the system and does not engage the starter interrupt.

• Activating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will lock the doors, arm the

system and engage the starter interrupt.

• DeactivatingPanicwith the“arm/lock”button willstopPanic, andleave

the system armed with the starter interrupt engaged, and the doors

locked.

• Deactivating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will stop Panic, and

leave the system disarmed with the starter interrupt disengaged, and

the doors unlocked.

• If the system is allowed reset itself from remote Panic, it will enter the

armed state, locking the doors and engaging the starter interrupt,

regardless of which of the three buttons was used to activate it.

• DeactivatingPanicwith the“panic” buttonwillstopPanic, andleavethe

system in the same state it was in at the moment Panic started, without

locking or unlocking the doors.

Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by

simply turning the ignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s

activation. After 10 seconds, the Emergency Override must be performed

or the transmitter’s “disarm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the

system.

Feature #6 Doors Lock With Ignition On

Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Thisfeature configures the systemto automatically lock the vehicle’s doors

every time that the ignition switch is turned on. An exception to this would

unlock operations when the ignition is turned off, and it has more options

because of the MAX-EDP’s multiple unlocking outputs.

*Multipleunlockoutputsofferthecapabilityofunlockingonlythedriver’s

door when the system is disarmed (Driver Door Priority Unlocking), and

then the option of unlocking all doors with a second press of the “disarm/

unlock” button. The driver’s door unlocking differently from the other

doors must be configured when the system is installed!

If the system is installed without the Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking

interface, this feature unlocks all of the doors when the ignition switch is

turned off.

If Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking is installed, this feature can control only

the driver’s door unlocking when the ignition is turned, all doors unlocking,

or all doors except the driver’s. The following feature provides for an

override of this automatic unlocking if a door is open when the ignition is

turned off. Page - 32

If desired, it is possible to have the “panic” button operate the 3rd channel

output or the two optional further channel outputs, instead of remote Panic-

see “Feature #21” on page 36.

Your Omega MAX-EDP system offers the ultimate in comfort and

convenience- remote engine starting. This feature allows the vehicle’s

interiortobewarmed in thewinterorcooled inthesummerbefore youenter

the vehicle. Simply leave the climate controls set to the desired settings

when leaving the vehicle prior to using the remote starting feature.

The following pages explain the remote engine starting operations. If

the vehicle has a manual transmission, a special procedure is required

whenexitingthe vehicletoenable theabilityto remotestart. Otherwise,the

actual activation of remote start is the same for automatic or manual

transmission vehicles.

Remote Engine Starting

Press and release together the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “disarm/

unlock” buttons.

How to Activate Remote Starting

The system’s reaction: The system will respond first by rapidly flashing

the Status Light in green color, then by turning on the ignition and flashing

the parking lights once. Then the starter will engage until the engine runs;

10 seconds later the parking lights will illuminate steady during the period

that the engine is running from being remotely started. (having them flash

instead is an option- see the User Programmable Features section).

• When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the

climate controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.

The remote engine starting feature should not be used when

the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!

Page - 14

• If desired, the system’s alarm function may be armed or disarmed as

needed during remote start operations (the system must be disarmed

before entering the vehicle).

The engine will run for 10 minutes (the factory-set period). 5, 15 and 20

minute run times may be programmed, if desired, by referring to the

“Programming Features” section. Once the engine has been remotely

started, to remotely stop it on demand, before it times out, again press and

releasetogetherthetransmitter’s“arm/lock”and“disarm/unlock” buttons.

The system will stop the engine, and extinguish the parking lights.

This feature turns that operation on or off, and with options of having Last

DoorArmingoperatewithorwithoutalsolockingthedoorswhenthesystem

does arm.

Feature #3 Automatic Rearming

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

On with doors locking (press “OPTION”button to program)

“Automatic Rearming”, described on page 12, prevents the system from

becoming accidentally disarmed by having it arm itself after being dis-

armed, if a door is not then opened or the ignition turned on. Options are

to have Automatic Rearming operate with or without also locking the doors

when the system does rearm.

Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions

Factory Default Setting Alarm Only

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Automatic (press “OPTION”button to program)

Alarm & Anti-Grind (press red “panic”button to program)

This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its

default setting, “Alarm Only”, the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever

the alarm is armed. The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the

accidental grinding of the starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is

already running by remote starting (as when the ignition key is turned to

“run” to drive the vehicle).

The “Automatic” option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to auto-

matically engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and

also 90 seconds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement

will occur even if the security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in

Valet Mode. Once the Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must

bearmed, then disarmed with the transmitter, orplaced into the ValetMode

by pressing and holding the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it.

There are no Status Light indications with this automatic form of Starter

Interrupt.

Programming this feature off completely eliminates the Starter Inter-

rupt output, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.

Page - 15

Should the engine fail to start on the first remote attempt, the system will

subsequently make as many as three further attempts, as needed. Please

note that each starting attempt takes approximately 20 seconds for the

system to check the vehicle’s status, cycle the ignition and starter circuits,

and then monitor vehicle status again before the next attempt.

Safety Features: Certainconditionswill preventthe engine fromremotely

starting, or if remotely started already, will stop the running engine. These

conditions are:

✓A pressed brake pedal.

✓The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position, or

alternatively, the parking brake not being set.

✓An open hood.

✓If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the

setup procedure was performed.

An open door will not prevent the system from starting the engine; if the

engine has already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the

running engine, unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the

engine running by remote control and the system armed will result in

activating the system, which will stop the running engine.

To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if

needed) open the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition

switch and turn the switch to “on” or “run” position (not “start”!). Then press

the brake pedal or remove the gear selector from “park”; now the engine is

no longer running from the system, but rather from the ignition key. To

indicate this, the system will briefly sound the siren. Pressing the Valet

Switch will also turn off the system’s running the engine, but without the

violated safety circuit siren sounding.

If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the above

conditions are present, the system will not attempt to start the engine and

will instead have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety

circuit. The violated safety circuit conditions which can produce this

indication are the gear selector not in the “park” position, an open hood or

trunk, or a pressed brake pedal.

“Stick Shift” Remote Starting Setup Procedure: WhentheOmega MAX-

EDP is installed into a manual transmission vehicle, Installer Program-

mable Feature #5 must be turned on. Then, whenever remote starting will

be desired at a later time the following procedure must be performed be-

fore exiting the vehicle:

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 parking lights will

flash once and the siren 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. Page - 16

The User Programmable Features

Page - 29

Each of the Programmable Features is described in detail in the

following pages. The User Programmable Features are described as

a first group, and the Installer Programmable Features as a second

group. It is important to note that programmable features affect the

exact operation of the system, and that the descriptions of any

features utilized should be used to supplement the basic system

operationswhichweredescribedinprevioussectionsofthisbooklet.

This group of 23 User Programmable Features are all accessed as a

group in the first level of features’ programming. These features have a

direct affect upon the system’s operations, so the programming and

operation of each are described following the list.

Turbo Timer Feature: It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped

with turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle for a few minutes be-

foreturning itoff. When thisInstaller ProgrammableFeature isprogrammed

on, the MAX-EDP will automatically keep the engine running as follows:

This feature must be programmed by the installer, and turning it on offers

three run time choices- 1, 2, or 3 minutes. The alarm may be armed 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.

• With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking

brake. When the brake pedal is released, the MAX-EDP will keep the

engine running for the selected time, and then automatically turn it off.

Low Battery Automatic Starting Feature: This feature may be used

anytime. Setting this feature to operate has the MAX-EDP automatically

start the engine should the vehicle battery voltage drop to 11 volts. This

feature is very useful if the vehicle is to parked unattended for a long pe-

riod of time, such as extended parking at the airport while away. Low

Battery automatic starting must be activated for each occasion which it is

desired to operate, as follows:

• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within

7 seconds press the brake pedal. The system will chirp 6 times. Then,

openthe door,exit the vehicleand closethe door, pressthe transmitter’s

“arm/lock” button to lock the vehicle (arming the system).

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 drop-

ping to 11 volts, it will automatically start the engine.

To Access a Feature:

Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same

number of times as the desired feature’s number.

•The siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash as

many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the

feature number which is now accessed.

•This and the following steps apply for both of the programming

levels- User Programming or Installer Programming.

To Change a Feature:

Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press

& Release the appropriate transmitter or controller button.

•Pressing the “arm/lock” button typically turns the feature on;

or sets the feature’s first option. The siren will chirp once when

this button is pressed.

•Pressing the “disarm/unlock” button also typically turns the

feature off; or, sets the feature’s second option. The siren will

chirp twice when this button is pressed.

•Many features have third, and even fourth setting options.

Pressing the “OPTION”and “panic” buttons select these op-

tions. Confirmation chirps when these buttons are pressed are

three and four chirps respectively.

•Generally speaking, the Status Light will light solid when a se-

lected feature is programmed “on”, and not light when the fea-

ture is set for “off”. Some features have more than one “on”

option, in which case the Status Light will remain on for all of

the feature “on” settings.

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 siren will chirp 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.

•Usethe transmitteror controlleras describedin Step5 tochange

the newly accessed feature as desired.

•Repeat this Step 6 for each additional feature until all features

are programmed.

Step 7 Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming

actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition on.

•The siren will sound briefly and the Status Indicator Light will go

out to confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.

Other Transmitter Operations

The2ndchanneloutput,whichisoperatedbypressingandholdingthe

transmitter “OPTION”button for 1 second, is designed specifically to

operate your vehicle’s

electric

power trunk release. Your vehicle will

respond by releasing the trunk lid or rear hatch, chirping the siren twice,

turning on your parking and interior lights for 30 seconds, unlocking the

doors, and disarming the system if it was armed. The 2nd channel output

will not operate when the ignition switch is "on" unless the vehicle's door is

open. If desired, the security system can be programmed to remain armed

when this feature is used, and connection of the 2nd channel may require

extra parts or installation.

To Silently Arm or Disarm the alarm, press and release the “OPTION”

button twice. The siren’s confirmation chirps will not occur, and this opera-

tion simply reverses, or “toggles” the armed and disarmed status that the

system.

The sensor may be temporarily bypassed. When arming the alarm

with the transmitter, within 3 seconds after the arming chirp press the

“OPTION”button. The system will respond with another single chirp,

confirming that the sensor is bypassed.

TheMAX-EDPalsohasa3rdchanneloutputwhichissimilartothe2nd

channel, but it does have some special operational design differences. To

operateit,pressand hold thetransmitter“OPTION”andred“panic”buttons

together for 1 second. Or, a programmable feature allows the pressing of

the “panic” button only to operate this output.

The differences are that 3rd channel output will operate regardless of

the ignition switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual

confirmation. Connection of the 3rd channel will vary, depending upon the

chosen application, and may require extra parts or installation.

There are also optional 4th channel and 5th channel outputs, which

are available if more remote control functions are desired. These outputs

can be repurposed from two other system outputs, the factory arm and

disarm outputs, by an Installer Programmable Feature #9 (see page 42).

Whentheseoutputsareprogrammedtooperate,pressingthetransmitter

“arm/lock” and “ buttons together will activate the 4th channel output.

Pressing the “disarm/unlock” and red “panic” buttons will activate the 5th

channel. Or, if desired, the transmitter “panic” button can be programmed

by User Programming Feature #21 to operate any of these channels.

To a large extent the Omega MAX-EDP’s versatility is due to an incredible

array of programmable features- 33 main-system programmable features

which offer almost 100 choices of operational and interfacing options.

How to Program Features

To Enter Programing Mode and Change Features:

Page - 27

Foreasier managementof theprogrammable features,they aredivided

into two separate accessibility levels. Features which allow the user to

customize the system’s operation according to their own choice are in one

group, and the features which are installation related, or intended for the

installer’s use are in a second group. The MAX-EDP system has 23 User

Programmable Features, and there are 10 Installer Programmable Features.

The vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the

Programming Mode, then the transmitter or optional controller is used to

change features. Once the system is in Programming Mode, a 10 second

period without programming activity will cause the system to automatically

exitProgrammingMode. Features canbe selectedinany orderas desired.

•The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will

flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.

•In the case of accessing the Installer Mode, the siren chirp then

brief sounding will be heard at the fifth valet press, and then

again at the tenth valet switch press.

•The Status Light shows red color for User Programming, and

Green color for Installer programming.

•In either Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming

activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Pro-

gramming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or press-

ing a transmitter button once a feature is accessed.

10 times Installer Programming (Green Status Light)

When the desired Programming Mode is accessed, select a Feature > > >

Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch either:

Step 2 Turn the ignition off.

Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.

The Valet Switch has several functions:

Using the Valet Switch-

Alarm Valet Mode & Starting Valet Mode

• It is also used in the procedures for programming features and

programming transmitters to operate the system. See the

“Programming “ sections of this manual for details on these uses.

• Should your transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the ValetSwitch,

and the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system with an

Emergency Override.

• Placing the system into Alarm Valet Mode, which prevents it from

arming.

• Placing it into Starting Valet Mode, which prevents it from remote

starting.

Alarm Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all of the “alarm” operations

of the security system while retaining the remote convenience features

such as keyless entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs. Remote starting

is still operable, and has its own valet mode (below). The system may only

be placed into Alarm Valet Mode when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emer-

gency Override must be performed before placing into Alarm Valet Mode.

Once the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from the

transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.

AlarmValetModeandEmergencyOverridearetwosimilar,butdifferent

procedures, although both operations use the Valet Switch, . Emergency

Override disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the ignition

key. Alarm Valet Mode turns off the alarm operations of the

disarmed

system, but without the need of the ignition key.

AlarmValet Mode is designed for situationsin which it is not convenient

for the security portion of the system to be operational, such as during

extended stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking,

washing, etc.

To Enter Alarm Valet Mode: With the system disarmed, and without

pressing the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.

• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Sta-

tus Light will illuminate solid red, then a series of green flashes, then

return to solid red. The green flashes, numbering from 1 to 6 times, is a

remote starting diagnostic code (see page 23).

Step 1 Have all transmitters and/or optional controllers which are to

operate the system at hand. Turn the ignition “on”.

If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a

transmitter or optional controller to the system will activate the

Unauthorized Transmitter Alert warning and the extended Status

Thefollowingspecialprocedureprogramsthetransmitter/controllers

and also turns the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature on.

Step 3 Press the “arm/lock” button on each remaining transmitter or

optional controller. The system will chirp the siren once to confirm

that each was learned. The transmitter or controller’s other three

button's functions will automatically be assigned when the “arm/

lock”button islearned. If a codeis not receivedwithin a 10 second

period,thelearningprocesswillautomaticallyterminate,asindicated

by another siren burst.

Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch

5 times. The siren 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 “arm/lock” button

(the button which is designed to arm the system). When the first

code is learned all existing stored codes will be erased.

SpecialProgramming proceduretoturnOntheUTAfeature: Usingthis

methodtoprogramtransmittersoroptionalcontrollers,andtoturnonorturn

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 “arm/

lock”button,pressthe“arm/lock”andthe“disarm/unlock”buttonstogether.

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 or controller

programming, including the programming session which was used to turn

it on.

Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or

replacementtransmittersand/oroptional2-waycontrollersdoesnotturnon

or otherwise affect the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (UTA) feature.

• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the

Status Light will illuminate solid green to confirm that the system is in

Starting Valet Mode.

Starting Valet Mode: This feature is similar to Alarm Valet Mode, but its

purposeisturnofftheremotestartingoperationsofthesystem. Thesystem

may be placed into Starting Valet Mode and Alarm Valet Mode indepen-

dently, or into both modes at the same time. Please note that the only

differenceinobtainingeithermodeiswhetherornotthebrakepedalisbeing

pressed.

To Enter Starting Valet Mode With the system disarmed, and depress-

ing the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.

• To remind the user that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the siren will

chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.

• To indicate that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the Status Light

remains solid red whenever the system is in Alarm Valet Mode.

To Enter both Modes (Full Valet Mode): With the system disarmed,

press and hold the Valet Switch for 4-6 seconds with the brake pedal in

both conditions. For example, start pressing the Valet Switch with the

brake pedal unpressed; as soon as the two chirps are heard, press the

brake pedal but do not release the Valet Switch. As soon as a second set

of two chirps is heard, the Valet Switch may be released. The system is

now in Full Valet Mode. It does not matter in what order the pressed or

unpressed brake pedal occurs.

• There is no audible reminder that the system is in Starting Valet mode.

To Exit any of the 3 forms of Valet Mode, simply Press & Release the

Valet Switch at any time.

• The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from either Alarm

Valet Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or both.

• There will be the single chirp reminder every time the ignition turns off.

This is for the Alarm Valet Mode part of the Full Valet Mode condition.

• Once the system is in Full Valet Mode the Status Indicator Light will slowly

alternate green and red to confirm that the system is in Full Valet Mode.

This indication is present whenever the system is in Full Valet Mode.

Unauthorized Transmitter AlertTM (UTA) is a protection feature which

may be turned on by the user (see the next section, “How to Program

Transmitters”). Whenthisprotectionfeatureisutilized,wheneveratransmitter

(or optional 2-way controller) is added to operate the system, for 48 hours

afterwarda warningconsisting ofa briefseries ofsiren chirpssounds 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

90secondsinsteadof10seconds. Whenthisfeatureisusedandactivated,

after48hoursthewarningchirpsdisappearandtheStatusLightflashingthe

number of transmitters returns to being displayed for 10 seconds.

Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM shows the total number of

transmitterswhichcanoperate thesystem,by flashingtheStatus Lightwith

this number for 10 seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on.

The Omega MAX-EDP features several security safeguards in one of

the most vulnerable areas of any remotely controlled system. These apply

with both 1-way transmitters and optional 2-way controllers.

Transmitter Protection

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 MAX-EDP’s Code

Jumping renders such “code grabbing” devices useless by randomly

changing each signal that the transmitter sends.

The MAX-EDP system is capable of being operated by as many as four

1-way transmitters or optional 2-way controllers; these can be in any

combination of transmitters or optional controllers. Regardless of which,

the transmitter or controller must be encoded, or programmed, to the

systeminordertooperateit(exceptingtheoriginals,whichwereprogrammed

at the factory).

The programming procedure is identical for a transmitter or for a

controller. Also,itisduringtheprogrammingprocedurethattheUnauthorized

Transmitter Alert feature may be turned on.

How to Program Transmitters
