Douglasville, Georgia – May 31th, 2017 – Omega Research & Development Technologies, Inc. is now shipping the BRACKET-COMP-1-KIT & BRACKET-COMP-2-KIT. When installing a Train Horn & Air-Tank/Compressor set, mounting these large components can be a challenge, so Omega has developed two brackets to help out.

Both of these brackets are made of 100 percent pure 3/8 think aluminum, so they are tough, but very lightweight, and are power coated Black to match the vehicle undercarriage. They are pre-drilled to receive our Omega Air-Tank/Compressor units, and include the necessary hardware to mount the compressor on the bracket. An access hole on the bracket bottom allows access to the Air-Tank's drain cock for easy maintenance. 

The BRACKET-COMP-1-KIT is designed to carry a fully assembled AC-1.5, AC-2.0, or AC-200PSIAir-Tank/Compressor unit.

The BRACKET-COMP-2-KIT is designed to carry a "separated" AC-1.5.  (By "separated" we mean that you separate the compressor motor from the Air-Tank, so you can install with a much lower profile). This kit includes an braided air-hose extension, and necessary fittings.

Douglasville, Georgia – March 29th, 2018 –Omega's product development team announces Enhancements to the AL-100DP. Enhanced units are already in distribution.

The AL-100DP is an OEM Keyless Entry Upgrade System that adds additional layers of security to your factory keyless entry, allowing you to convert it into a fully featured alarm system, while still using the factory remote controls. These layers include cabin entry protection, shock sensor (AU-84TN), programmable anti car-jacking, etc. These units also work with other Omega add-on sensors such as proximity sensor (AU-94TM), glass break detection sensor (AU-85TN), and tilt/towing sensor (AU-46TD). The AL-100DP is also equipped with a dataport to make interfacing with most vehicles even simpler.

Enhancements:

  • Improved Integration for Low Voltage Doorlock Systems like you find on Newer GM vehicles.
  • Enhanced Remote Start Monitoring System – This feature prevents false sensor triggering when the AL-100DP is used with a remote start system (Factory or Aftermarket).
  • Programmable Arm & Disarm Pulse-width Inputs to improve compatibility with OEM systems that have “short pulse” doorlock systems.
  • Enhanced Parking Light Arm and Disarm Override with auto learn upon power up. This feature gives the installer additional installation options when interfacing with the factory keyless to arm and disarm the AL-100DP.
  • Analog Lock/Unlock Outputs Control to work with additional locking systems. E.g. tailgate locks, tool box locks, or additional doors (like in cargo vans) or compartments not controlled by the OEM keyless.

Douglasville, Ga. – September 10th, 2019 – Omega releases new waterproof PowerSports alarm system. Excalibur’s unmatched legacy of high performance vehicle security is now expanding to the powersports market with their all new AL-1070-PS waterproof alarm system.

Primary Features:

  • The main unit’s features waterproof (IP 66 water resistance) & vibration/shock resistant construction.
  • Two two-button water resistant remotes included (cannot be submerged)
  • Vehicle horn honk control with adjustable output for Low, Medium, High volume or “Human Panic” modes
  • Onboard Tilt/Shock sensor with fully programmable sensitivity – can enable/disable shock for tilt-only mode.
  • Normally closed wire loop trigger to protect accessories like helmets, coolers, sound equipment, and more.
  • Water resistant siren included – siren/horn output compatible with LINKR-LT alarm notification input.
  • Omega’s exclusive Limited Lifetime Warranty on ALL components

Under The Hood:

The AL-1070-PS is another wonderfully unique offering from the makers of Excalibur. Product Development Manager, Mike Thompson said, “We made sure this system is extra focused on all the powersports fans out there. I love the shock disable because I can dock my jet ski for lunch and arm it with tilt only sensing. I don’t have to worry about the shock triggering from bumping the dock. I can also use the wire loop trigger through my dock lines so it’ll go off if unhooked. It’s really nice. And if someone does trigger it, it will send a notification to my phone through the LINKR-LT2 smartphone interface.”

The AL-1070-PS also features one Auxiliary output for activating remote start, turning on LED lights, whatever you can think of. It has a dedicated trigger input wire as well for adding external switches/sensors to storage compartments, coolers, etc. You can select between driving the included siren or by using one of 4 horn honk modes to control the vehicle’s factory horn. “Human Panic is one of my favorite newer features. I designed the timing after old horror movies where a driver gets strangled from behind and is mashing the horn uncontrollably. It never fails to get attention when activated.” Says Mike Thompson. The system also includes anti-hijacking technology, passive starter interrupt that engages automatically after the ignition is turned off whether or not the alarm is armed.

Douglasville, Georgia – March 13th, 2018Omega's tech support team will be introducing the OMEGALINK OL-RS-BA Integrated Digital Starter platform, and T-Harness library at the Indy KnowledgeFest Dealer training sessions this weekend!

The Linkr-LT1 offers easy Set-Up and activation, and a year of included consumer service, its very easy.

DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA – AUGUST 17, 2016 - Omega's tech support team will be presenting the 70-Series product line at it’s first ever KnowledgeFest Dealer training session.  The 70-Series is Omega’s most advanced Remote-Start line ever.

Packed with very high-end features, but priced at a tremendous value, Omega focused on refining the installer experience by adding a very comprehensive vehicle learn routine, and on the user experience by adding a BUILT-IN 3D accelerometer for manual transmission starting without the complicated exit routine, as well as Cold-Temperature start at the "entry units".

All "3D" units are 2-way Ready, so to upsell a sale, just learn in a compatible 2-way controller. Also, every single remote starter has a built in Alarm Suite, again offering upsell potential with little or no additional install. With Omega, every Starter is a COMBO.

Omega will also be introducing the Linkr Mobile Control platform: In our opinion, the most versatile Smartphone hardware/APP platform available. Built as a Global platform, it supports 6 languages, and can be installed stand-alone, or plugged into an Omega host unit via the data port. All 3 analog outputs can be configured to your needs, even if you’re using a data connection. This doubles the simultaneous functionality of other units.

Very importantly, EVERY service plan gives the user full functionality!!! This includes GPS tracking, 2 Geo-Fences, Speed alerts, & a Security Fence. Other included features are a Built-In battery backup,

Multiple "Skin" options, personal Avatar selection from your camera-roll, the ability to control dozens of devices from the same APP, a full featured "High Risk" PANIC routine that sends alerts and a bread crumb trail to 5 pre-set recipients, and more. One can even monitor their home or business alarm panel with Linkr.
