Page 3: Introduction & Safety Considerations
The RS-3A is an “add-on” unit designed to be used in conjunction with an additional remote control vehicle accessory such as a security alarm or keyless entry system. -
Page 4: Remote Starting
Remote Starting To Remote Start The Vehicle: Press the necessary button or button com- bination on the host system’s transmitter. 1) The parking lights will turn on to confirm the starting process. 2) The ignition circuit will turn on. 3) Within a few seconds the parking lights will turn off and the starter will en- gage. -

- Stepping on the brake pedal will turn the engine off. - Opening the hood will turn the engine off. If the hood is open when an ac- tivation attempt is made, the RS unit will not respond, and will not start the engine. -
Page 6: Installation Cautions And Warnings
Installation Cautions and Warnings Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual transmission vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property damage, personal injury, and will void all warranties! Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that an installer will not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe injury may occur in an accidental airbag deployment! The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) -
Page 7: Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions IMPORTANT! After reading this manual, start the installation by affixing the WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment! Installation Considerations: This entire booklet should be read before starting the installation. An understanding of which control module wires are to be used and their functions is essential. - Page 8 W I R I N G - 5 Wire Connector Red Wires: Constant +12 (Two 12-Gauge) Volts Input Connection Required Connect both Red wires to constant 12 Volts. The source used must supply adequate amperage. The most common sources are the battery’s Positive terminal and the ignition switch wiring harness.
- Page 9 Green Wire: Starter Output 12-Gauge Con- nection Required Connect the Green wire to the vehicle’s Starter wire. This wire will show +12 Volts only when the ignition key is in the “Start” position. This wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness (see diagram on previous page).
- Page 10 Yellow Wire: Accessory Output 12-Gauge Connection Required Connect the Yellow wire to the vehicle’s Accessory wire. This circuit supplies power to the Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. This wire will show 12 Volts when the ignition key is in the “Run” and “Accessory”...
- Page 11 Yellow/Black Wire: (+) Brake Input 22-Gauge Connection Required- The Yellow/Black wire must be connected. It is part a critical safety feature which disables the RS unit whenever the brake pedal is pressed. Connect the Yellow/Black wire to the brake switch wire which shows +12 Volts when the brake pedal is pressed.

- Page 18 Typical Parking Lights Connection Dash Board Control Lights Module Light Switch directly to the vehicle’s headlights. An external relay is required. Vehicles having a split parking light system must be diode isolated, requiring the Right Side Circuit use of two IN4006 diodes: Two IN4006 Diodes.
- Page 19 Input Connection Required. The Pink wire is how the RS-3A is activated for remote start operation. This wire is to be connected to an alternative device such as an existing keyless entry or alarm system. If the Pink wire receives a Negative pulse, the RS unit will start the vehicle’s engine, provided that all safety circuits...
- Page 20 Orange Wire: Anti-Grind Output 22-Gauge Connection If Desired. The function of the Orange wire is to provide a 250mA Negative auxiliary output which may be used to operate a starter motor “Anti-Grind” relay, which prevents accidental starter grind should the key be turned while the remote starter is in operation.
- Page 21 Input Connection If Needed. The Green wire allows the RS-3A to be used with diesel engines. Connect the Green wire to the wire in the vehicle which pow- ers the glow plugs, or the wire which illuminates the “Wait To Start” light on the instrument panel.

This harness, which plugs into the Red 3-pin port on the control module, can be used, if needed, to configure optional relays to energize additional Ignition or Starter circuits. Also, Omega OEM security bypass interfaces use the Red Blue Wire:... - Page 23 Circuit Optional Re- as needed. This Red 3-pin port 12 Volts lay Configuration also is used for certain optional Omega bypass modules for OEM security systems utilizing Optional resistors in the ignition Relay switch or transponders in the ignition key.
