Congratulations for your choice of a new Excalibur vehicle security and convenience system by
OmegaResearchandDevelopment. Youwillfindthatyournewsystemwillgiveyouyearsoftrouble-
free convenience and protection. To learn how to operate your system, please take a few moments to
become familiar with the following three principal user components: the Remote Transmitter, the
Status Light and the Valet Switch.
Page - 5
The Valet Switch is used to place the system into "Valet Mode”, which turns off any automatic
system functions, such as Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming, and also prevents arming the
system via the remote transmitter. The Valet Switch is also used, with the ignition key, to disarm the
security system in the event the transmitter becomes inoperable. It is also used for programming
features and transmitters.
The Remote Transmitter operates your system, and has four push-buttons, each having a
pictograph as to function. The basic operations are described on the facing page.
Each Excalibur system is capable of being operated by up to four different remote transmitters. In
addition, this system may be easily upgraded to 2-way control, with the Omega Echo. This option
allows you to both control your system’s operations, and to receive status pages from it, which are
audiblealertsandasavisualdisplayuponaneasy-to-understandLCDscreen. Programmingadditional
or replacement transmitters, and a description of the Echo’s operations, are in later sections of this
booklet.
The Status Light shows at a glance the various conditions that the security system can be in, and
also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. The Status Light may be either red or blue.
The Status Light and Valet Switch can be mounted together, within a special housing, or
independently custom-mounted by the installer. If the optional 2-way Echo controller is used,
the Status Light and Valet Switch are likely on the window-mounted Echo transceiver unit.

Arming the System Using the Transmitter
The system can always be armed from the transmitter, if the ignition 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
andreleasethe“arm/lock”buttononce. Theparkingandinteriorlightswillflashonce,thesirenwill
chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash, confirming that the system is armed. In addition,
thedoorswilllockandthestarterinterruptwillengage topreventanyattempttostartthevehicle. Your
Your Excalibur system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its contents. “Arming”
your system turns on its protection, disabling the vehicle’s starter and locking the doors. Once the
systemisArmed,anyintrusionattemptwillActivateit,soundingtheelectronic“Psyren”psychosiren
andflashing theparking andinterior lightsto attractattention. The uniqueand patentedPsyrenpsycho
sirenactually producesthesounds oftwodifferent sirensat once,ensuringthat itwon’tbe ignoredlike
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 Excalibur:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its “lock/arm” 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 Excalibur System

Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any system sensing circuit is inoperable, that circuit only will
automaticallybebypassed. Whenanunsecuredsensingcircuitisinabypassedstate,allothernormally
operatingcircuitswillbeprotected. Shouldthe bypassed circuit become secured, it will automatically
be reinstated for protection 5 seconds later. When certain protection circuits are bypassed, such as the
hood/trunk and impact sensor, 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.
For example, should the trunk be open, you can still arm the system with 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.

SensorBypass:WhenarmingtheExcalibursystemwiththetransmitter,youmayconveniently
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
releasethe transmitter’s“II”buttonwithinthreeseconds. Youwillhearasecondsirenchirpconfirming
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.
security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.
TheExcalibursystem’sseparate“arm/lock”and“disarm/unlock”buttondesignallowsrepetitive
operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/lock” button will simply rearm the system, and vice
versa when pressing the “disarm/unlock” button.
Automatic “Last Door Arming” of the System
The Excalibur can also be programmed to automatically arm itself, 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 flashing rapidly.
Thirtysecondslaterthesirenwill chirp again and the lights will flashagain,thedoorswill lock (which
is separately programmable) and the Status Light will slow to a steady flash, confirming that the

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).

While the System is Armed, and should it become Activated
While the security system is armed, the Status Light is always flashing. Should any intrusion
attempt be detected, the system will instantly activate, or "trigger". Once triggered,
the Excalibur loudly sounds the siren and flashes the parking and interior lights on and off. When it
is first triggered, the Status Light changes it 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 Excalibur.
The siren will sound and the parking and interior lights will flash for 30 seconds unless you disarm
thesystemfirst(60seconds,insteadof30,isaprogrammableoption). Ifallprotectedentriesaresecure
at the end of 30 seconds, the system will stop and rearm itself, ready to detect further entry attempts.

Ifthereisaprotectedentrystillopenortheimpactsensorstillinaviolatedstateattheendof30seconds,
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.
Anytimethesecurity systemtriggers,the StatusLightwill indicate whichprotected zone triggered
the system by flashing two, three or four times between pauses. 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".
Once the Excalibur has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation changes to make the
user aware that it has done so. This is explained in the next section.

There are two methods of disarming the Excalibur:
Disarming the System
Disarming the System Using the Transmitter
2- Thesecondmethodisan“EmergencyOverride”alternative,shouldthetransmitterbecomelost
or inoperable. This method uses the Valet Switch, but the vehicle’s ignition key is also required.
1- The primary method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its “unlock/disarm”
button. This is the normal “daily use” method.
Press and release the transmitter’s “disarm/unlock” button once to instantly disarm the
system,disengagingthe starter interrupt andunlockthe doors. If you havetheoptionalunlock driver's
door feature, then upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the transmitter’s “disarm/
unlock” button is pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock.

Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice, the Status Light turning off, and the parking
lightsflashingtwice,thenwiththeinteriorlightsilluminatingfor30secondsforapproachillumination.
The lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on" before the 30 seconds expires.
SafetyDisarm/StormMode: Whilethesystemisactivated,i.e.soundingthesirenandflashing
the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” transmitter 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” transmitter button
again. If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present, including the
unlocking of the doors.
AutomaticRearmingFeature:AutomaticRearmingisaprogrammablefeaturewhichensures
thatyour systemisneverinadvertentlydisarmed. Itispossibletoaccidentallyorunknowinglyoperate

in which case a Zone Violation code will flash instead.
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 system will activate to an alarm condition when the door is opened).
Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch one time. The system will disarm.
Should you feel threatened, or the need to attract attention, you can activate your system's remote
“Panic”feature atanytimebypressingandholdingfor3secondsanyofthesethreetransmitterbuttons:
“arm/lock”, “disarm/unlock” or the red “III” button. Your system will respond by sounding the siren
and flashing the parking lights for the normal activated alarm period of 30 seconds. Further, the
Excalibur system features an unique “enhanced” remote Panic operation, regarding additional

operations during Panic, and in association with the transmitter button used in it’s activation or
deactivation:
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 “III” 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, disarming the system and
disengaging the starter interrupt, which will allow the engine to be started.
• Activating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will first lock the doors, arming the system and
engaging the starter interrupt, preventing the engine from being started.
• Deactivating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will stop Panic, and leave 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.
• IfthesystemisallowedresetitselffromremotePanic,itwillenterthearmedstate,lockingthedoors
and engaging the starter interrupt, regardless of which of the three buttons was used to activate it.
• Deactivating Panic with the “III” button will stop Panic, and leave the system in the same state it
was in at the moment Panic started, without locking or unlocking the doors.
Finally,enhancedremotePanic’s flexibility makes itpossibletomove the 3rd channel outputfromthe
“lock/arm” and “unlock/disarm” buttons together to the red “III” button. When taking advantage
of this programmable feature, the “III” button’s Panic operation moves to the “lock/arm” and
“unlock/disarm” buttons. Page - 12

Using the Valet Switch
The Valet Switch has several functions:
• Itisalsousedintheproceduresforprogrammingfeaturesandprogrammingtransmitterstooperate
the Excalibur system. These uses of the Valet Switch are described in the programming sections.
• Should your transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the Valet Switch, and the ignitionkey, can
be used to disarm the system with an Emergency Override.
• Placing your Excalibur security system into Valet Mode, which prevents it from arming.
Valet Mode: Anytime that the system is disarmed, simply press and hold the Valet Switch for
2secondstoactivatetheValetMode.ThesystemwillconfirmthatitisenteringValetModebychirping
the siren twice, flashing the parking lights twice, and the Status Light will illuminate and stay on. The
system will remain in Valet Mode until it is removed. While in Valet Mode, although the system will
not arm, the transmitters will still lock and unlock the doors, operate the remote Panic feature, 2nd
channel and 3rd channel outputs. The doors will also lock when the ignition key is turned "on" and
unlock when it is turned "off"'. While the security system is in the Valet Mode, every time the ignition
key is turned "off", the siren will chirp once as a reminder.
To turn off Valet Mode, simply press the Valet Switch; the Status Light will turn off confirming
the system’s exit from Valet Mode.
Emergency Override: If the system is in the armed state or activated condition, however, it
cannot be placed into Valet Mode. Instead, an Emergency Override must used to disarm the system
(after which it may be placed into Valet Mode if desired). To perform an Emergency Override, as

SecureCode: “SecureCode” allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch presses
whichare requiredtosuccessfully performan EmergencyOverride. ThebasicEmergencyOverride
procedure is described on page 11. Instead of a single “1 press” of the Valet Switch which would
be required in order to perform an Emergency Override, two stages of Valet Switch presses must be
made. In each of the two stages, the Valet Switch will need to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as
programmedbytheuser. ThisistheEmergencyOverrideprocedureifthesystemhasprogrammedwith

Security System Status:
All of these Status Light indicators refer to the system’s “alarm” operations:
•Off indicates that the alarm is disarmed, and also not in the process of Last Door Arming or
Automatic Rearming (both of which are programmable, and must be turned on to operate).
•On Constantly indicates that the system is in Valet Mode.
•Flashing Slow indicates that the alarm operation is fully armed.
•Flashing Fast indicates that Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress.
Zone Violation:
Once it is armed, should the system trigger and enter an alarm condition, the Status Light will change
from flashing slowly to flashing in a coded sequence which indicates which protected zone caused the
alarm condition.

Page - 16
•2 Flashes indicates that the system was triggered by the hood or trunk being opened.
•3 Flashes indicates that the system was triggered by a door being opened.
•4 Flashes indicates that the system was triggered by the sensor detecting a shock or impact to the
vehicle.
Once a Zone Violation code is set, the Status Light will continue to flash this code while the system
is still armed, after it’s disarmed, and until the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The system’s Zone
Violation memory can store two consecutive zone violations. If there have been multiple violations,
the Status Light will replay the two most recent violations in the order in which they occurred.

become operational 5 seconds later.
3) One siren chirp after the arming chirp previously mentioned: The auxiliary sensor circuit is
bypassed by pressing the “II” transmitter button within 3 seconds of pressing the “arm/lock”
transmitter button.
4) One siren chirp, and no light flash, but only at the moment the ignition switch is turned "off": The
system is in Valet Mode, and will not arm actively or passively.
5) Two siren chirps and the parking lights stay on for 30 seconds:
The system has just been disarmed or 2nd channel output has been activated.
6) Two siren chirps and two light flashes: The system has been placed into the Valet Mode.
7) Four siren chirps, four light flashes, and then lights stay on for 30 seconds: The system has just

until the ignition switch is turned "on".
8) Siren sounding, changing sounds every 5 seconds, and the parking lights flashing on and off: The
system is in an activated state. This will also relock the doors.
9) A series of siren chirps lasting two seconds after the ignition switch is turned "on": The
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature (page 20-21) has been activated.
10) Three siren chirps upon arming the system: The Zone Bypass feature is indicating that the system
is arming, but bypassing a violated protected zone.
11) Three siren chirps while the system is armed: The Prewarning feature has been activated.

The2ndchanneloutput,whichisoperatedbypressingandholdingthetransmitter’s“II”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.

Anti-Carjacking Protection
TheExcaliburisequippedwiththreeseparateAnti-Carjackingprotectionfeatures,whoseoperation
may be selectively activated by the ignition, by an open door, or by the transmitter. All three are
programmable, and must be turned on to operate. Once activated, the user has 53 seconds to cancel
the Anti-Carjacking protection process by pressing the Valet Switch once. If Anti-Carjacking is not
cancelled, 53 seconds after being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user
that the system is about to enter into an alarm condition. The Valet Switch may still be pressed once
during this period to cancel the Anti-Carjacking process.
If the Anti-Carjacking process is not cancelled before the 60 second countdown expires, the
system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the siren and flashing the parking lights. 30 seconds
after this occurs, or should the ignition be turned off in the meantime, the stater interrupt will engage.
Once the system enters the alarm condition, it will not respond to the transmitter, nor will the
system reset automatically after 60 seconds, and it can only be disengaged by:
Step 1 Turning the vehicle’s ignition off.
