The system may be "Armed" by any of 3 methods:
1) Remote Control Arming: Press & Release the “Arm” button
Arming the Alarm
Upon Arming: • The siren will chirp one time.
• The parking lights will flash once.
•Thestarter interruptwillengage.
• The LED Status Indicator will begin to flash slowly.
2)AutomaticArming: Turn Ignition “Off”.
“Automatic Arming” is a programmable feature which allows the alarm to arm
itselfifdesired.
If on, anytime the ignition is turned off:
•TheSirenwill chirp oncetoconfirm arming countdownhasbegun.
• The LED Status Indicator will begin to flash rapidly.
Thirty seconds later:
• The siren will chirp & the lights will flash once.
• The LED Status Indicator will begin to flash slowly.
• The starter interrupt will engage.
-Thealarm is nowfullyarmed
- Once it is disarmed it will not automatically arm again.
Thisfeatureis turnedoffby default.Seepage8 forprogramminginstructions.
3) Automatic Rearming: Press & Release “Disarm” button
“Automatic Rearming” is a programmable feature which ensures that your sys-
temisneverinadvertentlydisarmed. It ispossible toaccidentallyor unknowingly
operatethecontrollerortransmitterfroma pocketorpurse. AutomaticRearming

Thisfeatureis turnedoffby default.Seepage8 forprogramminginstructions.

The system may be "Disarmed" by any of 2 methods:
1)Remote ControlDisarming: Press&Release the“Disarm”button
Upon Disarm: • The siren will chirp twice. (4 chirps if alarm has activated & reset)
• The parking lights will flash twice. (4 times if alarm has activated)
•Thestarter interruptwilldisengage.
• TheLEDStatusIndicator turnsoff

tures “Panic Mode”, which allows you to activate “Panic” from the “Arm or Dis-
arm”buttons.
To Activate Remote Panic:
Press & Hold the “Arm or Disarm” Button for 3 seconds, with the
ignition “Off”.
The Auxiliary Channel may be used to operate an optional function. Please
seeyourOmega dealerfordetails onavailableoptions.
To Activate the Auxiliary Channel:

How to Program Remote Controls to the Alarm
Step 1: Turn"On"theignition.
Step 2: Within 7 seconds press the Valet Switch 5 times. The alarm will chirp
thesirenonce to confirmentryinto RemoteControlProgramming Mode.
Step 3: Within 10 seconds, press the “Arm” Button on each remote to be pro-
grammed. The siren will chirp to confirm each time a remote has been pro-
gramed.
If10seconds expirewithoutanyprogrammingactivity,or iftheignition isturned
“Off”, the system will automatically exit Remote Control Programming Mode.
The siren will emit 2 long chirps to confirm exit.
NOTE: Upto4 remote controlscanbe programedtooperatethe alarm.When-
ever a remote control, new or existing, is programmed to the alarm, all existing
codes are erased for security. So, all remote controls which are to operate the
alarm must be programmed at the same time.
How to Program Features
To access Features Programming Mode:
Step 1: Turn theignition"On" then"Off".
Step 2: Within 10secondsof turningtheignition "Off",press theValet Switch5
times.ThesirenwillchirponceconfirmingentrytoFeaturesProgrammingMode.
Step 3: Within10seconds of enteringFeaturesProgramming Mode, pressthe
Valet Switch the number of times equal to the number of the feature to be pro-
grammed. Thesirenwill repeat thefeaturenumber with chirpstoconfirm.
Step 4:After the system acknowledges the feature to be programmed:
Press the transmitter button that corresponds to the desired setting.
Note: Once the feature to be programed is selected, you can toggle the
feature between its settings by pressing the “Arm”, “Disarm” & “••”
buttons on the remote control.
- To program more features, simply repeat Steps 3 and 4.
-If 10seconds expirewithoutanyprogrammingactivity,orifthe ignitionis turned
“On”, the alarm will automatically exit Features Programming Mode. The siren
will confirm exit.

6 Pin Connector:
RedWire- (ConstantPowerInput): TheRed wiresuppliesconstantPositive
12 Volts for the system's operation.
CONNECTION: ConnectthiswiretoaPositivebatteryvoltage;bothwires
mustbeconnected. Onesourceisthebattery'sPositiveterminal,andanother
potential source is the power supply wires at the ignition switch.
If the battery is selected as the power source, and the Red wire must
extended, the added wire must be at least the same gauge, or preferably
heavier,thantheRed wire.
SomevehicleshaveaConstant12Voltcircuitsupplyingtheignitionswitch,
while others have multiple supply circuits. A schematic of the vehicles
electrical system will show which of these is the case.
In either case, the included fuse holder and a 15 amp fuse must be used.
Thefuseholdersshouldalwaysbeclosetothepowersourceconnection,not
the control module. Remove the 15 amp fuse before making the holders’
connection, and only reinsert it after all of the other wiring connections have
beenmade. Caution!Theuseof the15ampfuseandthefuseholderare
required! Failuretoproperlyinstallthefuseholderandthe15ampfuse
will void all warranties.
20gaBlackWire- (Ground): TheBlackwireprovidesNegativegroundforthe
system; proper connection of this wire is very important.
CONNECTION: Usingthecorrectlysizedcrimp-onringterminal,connect
the Black wire to the metal frame of the vehicle, preferably using an existing
machine-threadedfastener. Makesurethattheringterminalattachedtothe

Volts when the ignition key is in the "Run" and "Start" positions and no voltage
in the "Off" and "Accessory" positions. This wire is found in the ignition switch
wiringharness.
18ga Black Wires - These wires are used to interupt the starter wire on the
vehicle.
CONNECTION: Cut the start wire on the vehicle and attach one Black
wire to each end. This will disable the starter when the alarm is in an armed
state.

next step is to connect the Brown/White wires to the parking lights or the horn
wire. The 10 amp fuse and fuse holder must be used. Failure to do so
will void all warranties.

Brown/White Wires (2) - (Parking Light/ Horn Outputs): Thisis anoutputto
flash the vehicle's parking lights for visual arming/disarming confirmation, or

CONNECTION: Connect these wires to the vehicle's parking light circuit,
which can usually be found at the at the headlight switch or at the light itself.
SomeMotorcycleshavealeftandarightparkinglightcircuitwhichiswhenboth

Pink Wire - Negative Auxiliary Output: The Pink wire is an optional output
operated by the remotes “••” button.
CONNECTION: If the target wire is Positive switching, and/or draws more
than 250mA, an optional relay must be used. To configure a relay to the Pink
wire,connectittorelaypin(85), andconnect afusedConstantPositive 12Volts
