Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Excalibur security system and on
joining over 8 million people worldwide who have trusted their vehicle's security to
thedesignersofOmegaResearch&Development,Inc. Tolearnhowtooperateyour
security system, please become familiar with the following three principal user
components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Indicator and the Easy
ValetSwitch.
The Remote Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned
transmitters, but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. The transmitter has three
buttons: one large button in the middle and two smaller buttons. This system is pre-
programmed,throughabuilt-inlearningroutine,tohavethetransmitterbuttonswork
inthefollowingconfiguration:
The large button is used to arm, disarm and panic the security system.
Thesmallleftbuttonisused,inconjunctionwiththelargebutton,tooperateremote

The small right button can be used to operate the trunk release feature.
Thisadvancedtransmitterdesign,featuringSurfaceAcousticalWaveTechnology
offers almost twice as much range as conventional systems. This helps overcome
problems encountered in urban areas due to excessive amounts of interference.

Small Right Transmitter
Button- If this button is
pressed and held for 3 sec-
onds, the security system
will activate the trunk re-
lease function.

Small Left Transmitter
Button- If this button is
pressed and then the large
button is pressed within 3
seconds, the security system
will arm or disarm without
siren confirmation chirps. If
this button is pressed within
3 seconds after arming the
system, Auxiliary sensor #1
will be turned off and Auxil-
iary sensor #2 will only have
an instant trigger. If this but-
ton is pressed within 3 sec-
ondsafterdisarming,thesys-
tem will enter Remote Valet.
Pressing the small left trans-
mitter button may be used to
activate other optional mod-
ules through the 3rd channel
output (Example: car start-
ing equipment or power win-
dow roll up units).
Large Transmitter But-
ton- Pressing and releasing
thisbuttonwill armanddis-
arm the security system. If
the optional doorlock inter-
face is installed, the doors
will lock upon arming, and
unlock upon disarming. If
you have the optional un-
lock driver's door feature,
then upon disarming only
the driver's door will un-
lock, and if the large button
is pressed again within 5
seconds,allofthedoorswill
unlock. Pressing and hold-
ingthisbuttonfor3seconds
will "Panic" the system-
which will sound the siren,
flash the exterior and inte-
rior lights and also lock the
doors.

Instantlytheexteriorandinteriorlightswillflashonce,thesirenwill chirp once and
the LED Status Indicator will begin to flash confirming that the system is armed.
Further, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt relay will prevent any attempt
tostart thevehicle.Yoursecuritysystemisnowfullyarmed,andisreadyto respond
if an intrusion attempt is detected.
Arming By-Pass: Upon arming, if any sensor circuit is inoperable, that circuit
will be bypassed. For example, if the trunk is left open, you can still arm the system
normallyfromthe transmitter. Thebypassedcircuitwill automaticallybereinstated

When a triggered circuit is in a bypassed state, all other operating circuits will be
protectednormally.

of temporarily deactivating the auxiliary sensor (see page 20) without affecting any
other trigger circuit. To deactivate the auxiliary sensor, simply press and release

Note: Arming By-Pass (page 7) does not operate with the Automatic Last Door
Armingfeature.Thisbypassfeatureisdesignedto workonlywhen armingfromthe

transmitter, because all protected entries must be closed prior to the Automatic Last
Door Arming sequence to start. Note: To prevent the system from automatically
arming while the vehicle is being refueled you should put the system in Valet Mode
(page 14), keep your door open or turn on your dome light switch so that the system

While the security system is armed, the LED Status Indicator will be flashing.
Should any intrusion attempt occur, your system will instantly "trigger". Once
triggered, thesecurity system will respond by:
1) The electronic siren will be activated. Once activated, it will change siren
sounds every 5 seconds to attract more attention to the vehicle.
2) The exterior and interior lights will flash.
3) Thedoorswillrelock.Thisfeatureissouniquethatthesecuritysystemeven

The siren and lights will stay activated for 60 seconds, unless you disarm your

are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will rearm automatically to protect
against another entry attempt. However, if there is a protected entry still open or a

the LED Status Indicator will indicate which zone activated the system. This is
accomplished by the status indicator flashing one to four times between pauses, as
defined on page 15, until the ignition key is turned "on".
