Congratulations for choosing one of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle

securityandconveniencesystemsavailabletoday,theExcaliburAL-1810-EDP by

Omega Research and Development. To enjoy the most from your new system,

please take a few moments to learn about the principal user components, and the

basic operation of the system. These subjects are found in next several pages,

followed by more detailed specifics of complete operations and features.

Page - 4

Introduction to the System

• The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with

thevehicle’s ignition key, toperforman emergency disarming ofthe security

systemintheeventthetransmitterortransceiverislostorbecomesinoperable.

This is referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.

• The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational

features and also for encoding transmitters and transceivers to the system.

A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages 17-19.

The multicolored Status Lights report the operational

statusofthe system at alltimes,and also serves as avisual

deterrenttobreak-insandtheft. Specificdescriptionofthe

Status Light operation may be found on pages 20-21.

The Valet Switch has three main functions:

• The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security

functions, including any automatic arming or locking

features (if used), and/or remote engine starting

functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet

Mode”; the later is “Starting Valet Mode” .

The system can operated by two types of devices: the 2-Way Controller and the

1-Way Transmitter. Your system comes with one of each of these, pre-learned

to operate the system. The controller, in addition to operating your system, also

receives signals from the system, and displays a variety of system conditions on its

LCDscreen. ThisisthepatentedEcho2-waytechnology. Thetransmitterwillfully

operatethesystem, but it cannotreceive signals nor reporteventsfrom the vehicle.

Your system can be operated by as many as four controllers and/or transmitters.

Oneof thecomponents,typically mountedon thewindshield, is theWindow Unit

module which contains the Status Lights and the Valet Switch. The window

unit also receives and transmits the Echo technology

communications for the system’s 2-way operation.

Thecontroller andthe transmitterboth sharethesamefouroperational buttons,and

their use to operate the Excalibur system is the same. These buttons and a brief

description of what they do are:

this is done will the system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle must

remain undisturbed until that point. The complete instructions for remote starting,

including Stick Shift Remote Starting, starts on page 40.

This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of

this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s

parking brake. Please refer to the Installation Instructions manual for proper

connection of this wire.

Note: Feature #4, Turbo Timer, and Feature #5, Stick Shift Remote Starting, may

both be used together in the AL-1810-EDP.

Feature #7 Extended Starter Cranking Time

Factory Default Setting Minimum (.7 Second)

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Medium Lo (1.25 Second) (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Medium Hi (1.75 Second) (press “II” button to program)

Maximum (2.5 Second) (press “III” button to program)

ExtendedStarterCrankingTimeoperatesinconjunctionwiththepreviousfeature’s

“Tachless” setting. The AL-1810-EDP processor is capable of detecting the

running engine by two separate methods- the use of the vehicle’s tachometer

(“tach”) wire for a direct engine RPM input, or by monitoring the vehicle’s

fluctuating voltage levels caused by the starting process. This feature sets the

duration of the starter output’s base timing for the voltage sensing type of starter

output operation. There are four different base starter output settings. While the

default-setminimumissufficientfor most vehicles; the Extended Starter Cranking

Page - 41

Feature #6 “Tach Wire” or “Tachless” Starter Operation

Factory Default Setting Tachless (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Tach Wire (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

ThisfeatureselectstheAL-1810-EDPprocessor’smethodofdeterminingthestatus

of the engine running during remote start operation. As explained in the previous

feature’s description, “Tachless” mode has an associated base starter output time

duration. However,ifthevoltagefluctuationisdetectable,theprocessoradjuststhe

starteroutputtimeaccordingly. Whenthisfeatureis setfor “TachWire” operation,

the base starter output increases to 3 seconds, but the processor adjusts the actual

starterengagementtimeaccordingly. Connectingand useofthe“TachWire” isthe

most reliable form of engine running information input, and its use is recom-

mended. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.

Important: Before this feature is programmed, please refer to the “Installation

Manual” for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learning Procedure, both of

which are required for use of this feature.

Page - 40

Feature #5 Stick Shift Remote Starting

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature changes the parameters of the AL-1810-EDP’s remote start operation

to be suitable for manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a “setup” procedure

which must be followed upon exiting the vehicle. When this feature is turned on,

theoperatormust settheparkingbrakeand thenpressthecontrolleror transmitter’s

“arm/lock”and“disarm/unlock”buttonsatthesametime,whichkeepstheengine

running after removing the ignition key. After exiting, the user must then arm the

system, locking the vehicle doors, by pressing the “arm/lock” button. Only after

Feature #4 Turbo Timer

Options:

Run 1 Minute (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Run 2 Minutes (press “II” button to program)

Run 3 Minutes (press “III” button to program)

This feature, the operation of which is described on page 16, when turned on

configurestheAL-1810-EDPtoautomaticallykeeptheenginerunningbrieflyafter

it is turned off. This operation is designed specifically for vehicles having

turbocharged engines (the user may temporarily bypass the feature if desired).

This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of

this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s

parking brake. Please refer to the Installation Instructions manual for proper

connection of this wire.

Feature #3 Horn Output Functions

Factory Default Setting Horn Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Door Unlock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Ignition Output (press “II” button to program)

Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)

This is the second of two multi-use outputs which can be programmed to perform

severaldifferentfunctions. Theprimaryfunctionofthisoutput,isthatitisavailable

tooperatethevehicle’sexistinghorn;eitherinconjunctionwiththeelectronicsiren,

or in place of the siren. Using both the siren and the horn creates an extremely

effective security system with unique theft deterrence capabilities.

The “Echo” operation of the AL-1810-EDP is its 2-Way Controller

receivingandreactingtosignalsfromthesysteminthevehicle.It’s

functions are included in the following general system operation

descriptions; the Echo’s icons and its programming are detailed

on pages 22-24.

- IMPORTANT -

The AL-1810-EDP is one of the most versatile vehicle security/

convenience systems made. It has many programmable features

and includes built-in programmable relays, which can offer more

features and operations which are described in the basic system

instructions.

To a large degree, these extra features and operations are config-

ured at the installation of the system. Please read the sections of

this manual which explain programmable features, and please

consult your installer for specifics on how your system is config-

ured, and for installation options which may have used, or can be

added to system after installation.

EXAMPLE-the AL-1810-EDP can sound the vehicle’s horn inplace

oforinadditiontotheelectronicsirenwhichisincludedwithit. But

the operations are described with the siren only.

• The first setting (programmed by the “arm/lock” button) has the system

produce both the lock and unlock outputs as .8 second in duration. This is the

most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.

• The second setting (programmed by the “disarm/unlock” button) changes the

lockand unlockoutputsto bea longer3second pulseoutput. This isforcertain

vehicles which require a longer output pulse from the system’s control unit;

typicallycars havingvacuum pumpsystems,although thelonger settingisalso

more suitable in some newer vehicles.

• Somenewervehiclesrequireadoublepulseoutputtoremotelyunlockthedoors

and/or to disarm a factory-equipped security system, which is what the Double

Pulse Unlock setting provides (it is programmed by the “II” button ). The lock

output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.

• The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “III” button) may be used

with vehicles which are originally equipped with the total-closure feature.

Typically, a total closure feature is when locking the vehicle’s doors if the key

in the door is held to “lock” for a period of time the vehicle will close all

windows and the sunroof, in addition to locking the doors.

Selecting this feature setting changes the system’s door lock output pulse from

a .8 second to as long as a 28 second duration output. The unlock output is 3

seconds in this setting.

Note: When this feature is turned on, during the 28 second period after arm-

ing the system, the lock output can be stopped on demand by pressing the

“arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” button. Only the output will stop- pressing

either button again will normally operate the system, and at any time after the

28 second lock output period ends.

If either of the programmable relays are set for lock or unlock operation (the next

two Installer Programmable Features), the settings if this feature will operate the

programmable relays accordingly, in addition to the primary system doorlocking

outputs.

Feature #2 Light Output Functions

Factory Default Setting Dome Light Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Door Lock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Ignition Output (press “II” button to program)

Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)

TheExcaliburAL-1810-EDPhastwomulti-useoutputs,whichcanbeprogrammed

to perform several different functions. The primary function of this output, is to

operate the vehicle’s dome, or interior lighting as part of the system’s operations.

Optionally, if desired or needed, this output can be programmed to be a door lock

output, or as extra ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.

Arming Using the Controller or Transmitter

The system can always be armed from the controller or transmitter, if the

ignition key is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system,

exitthevehicle,closeallofthedoors,andsimplypressandreleasethe“arm/lock”

button once.

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

starterandlockingthe doors. OncethesystemisArmed,anyintrusionattempt will

Activateit, soundingthe electronic “Psyren”psycho sirenandflashing theparking

and interior lights to attract attention. The unique and patented “2-in-1” Psyren

psycho siren actually produces the sounds of two different sirens at once, ensuring

that it won’t be ignored like 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 controller* or transmitter, by pressing and

releasing the “arm/lock” 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

automaticallyarmitselfeverytimeyouexit thevehicle. Thismethodofarming

is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

Using the Excalibur System

Regardlessofhowitbecamearmed,ifthesystemisarmedthewindowunit’sStatus

Light flashes in the red color.

Thesystem’sreaction: Theparkingandinteriorlightswillflashonce,thesiren

will chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash red, confirming that the

system is armed.* In addition, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt will

engagetopreventanyattempttostartthevehicle. Yoursecuritysystemisnowfully

armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.

If the controller was used: Immediately after the system responds the con-

troller will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed), the “ARM” icon will

appear, the “locked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have locked, and the

number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.

*If the 2-way controller is used to operate the system, it will receive a signal

back and confirm that the operation was performed.

*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with

doorlocks connected, and he interior lights must be connected. The vehicle

horn may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.

The Installer Programmable Features

Thesecond group of features,the Installer Programmable Features,are accessed as

the second level of features’ programming, which is pressing the Valet Switch 10

times instead of 5 times when entering Programming Mode (page 28). Caution:

Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any system sensing circuit is inoperable,

thatcircuitonlywillautomaticallybebypassed. Whenanunsecuredsensingcircuit

isinabypassedstate,allothernormallyoperatingcircuitswillbeprotected. Should

the 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,andinthiscasethearming indicatorwill be3 sirenchirpsand3parking

light flashes. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming the system with the

transmitter.

If the controller was used for the arming, it will chirp three times instead of the

normal one time, and its display will also flash the icon of the zone which is

bypassed.

Sensor Bypass: When arming the Excalibur system with the controller or

transmitter,youmaytemporarilydeactivatetheimpactsensorwithoutaffectingthe

system’sothersensingcircuits.Todeactivatethesensor,armthesystembypressing

the “arm/lock” button, then press and release the transmitter’s “II” button within

three seconds. You will hear a second siren chirp confirming 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.

If the controller is used for the arming and then bypassing the sensor, let it

confirm the arming, then press the “II” button. The controller will then chirp twice

and turn on its “Impact” icons to indicate the bypassed sensor.

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 rapidly flashing red. Thirty seconds later

the siren will chirp again and the lights will flash again, the doors will lock (which

is separately programmable) and the Status Light will slow to a steady red flash,

confirming that the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened

beforethesingle sirenchirpat30seconds, theLastDoorArmingprocess stops,and

will reset to start over when the point of entry is again closed. All protected entries

The Excalibur system’s separate “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button

design allows repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/lock”

button will simply rearm the system, and vice versa when pressing the “disarm/

unlock” button. Controllers and transmitters both operate in this fashion.

itwillwaituntilthe door is closed, and at that time relock the doors. The automatic

relockingofthedoorsdeniesaccesstothethief,andisjustoneofthemanyexclusive

patented features of this system. The siren will sound and the parking and interior

lights will flash for 30 seconds unless you disarm the system first (60, 90 and 120

seconds activated periods are options- see Feature #11, page 34). If all protected

entriesare secureat theendof the30 seconds,thesystem willstop andrearm itself,

Once the Excalibur has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation

changes to make the user aware that it has done so.

How the controller reacts: If the controller was previously used to arm or

operate the system, it will react to an alarm activation, provided it is within range

ofthesystem. Uponreceivingasignalfromtheactivatedsystem,thecontrollerwill

start chirping, and an icon will start flashing, indicating which protected zone’s

violation caused the system’s alarm condition.

The controller will continue the chirping for 15 seconds, or until any of its buttons

applicationsisbeingused to sound the vehicle’s existing horn. This feature changes

only the primary audible output, so that it can be utilized to sound the existing

horn by itself. This is for cases when the programmable relay is desired for other

features, such as unlocking the doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory

output should it be needed for the remote starting operation.

The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic

sirenrequires. Whenprogrammingthis feature for using the output for the vehicle’s

horn, the optional setting produce pulsed output on the system’s siren wire, in

three different pulse timings, which allow a degree of customization of the horn’s

sound during the alarm activation.

There are two methods of disarming the Excalibur:

Disarming the System

Disarming the System Using

the Controller or Transmitter

2- The second method is an “Emergency Override” alternative, should the

controlleror transmitter becomelost or inoperable. Thismethod uses theValet

Switch, but the vehicle’s ignition key is also required.

1- The primary method is to use the controller or transmitter by pressing and

releasing its “disarm/unlock” button. This is the normal “daily use” method.

Press and release the controller or transmitter “disarm/unlock” button

oncetoinstantlydisarm thesystem,disengagingthestarterinterruptandunlockthe

doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature installed, then upon

disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the “disarm/unlock” button is

pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock.

Thesystem’sreaction: Disarmingisconfirmedbythesirenchirping twice,the

StatusLight turning off,andthe parkinglightsflashing twice, thenwith the interior

lights illuminating for 30 seconds for approach illumination. The lights will turn

off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on" before the 30 seconds expires.

If the controller was used: It will confirm by chirping twice (or four times if

the system was activated), showing “DISARM” icon and “unlocked lock”, and

is pressed. Which button being pressed has these effects upon the triggered

Excalibur system:

• Pressing “arm/lock” will rearm the system, stopping both system’s alarm

condition (leaving it armed), and stop the controller’s chirping.

• Pressing “disarm/unlock” will disarm the system, leaving the doors locked,

stopping both system’s alarm condition (leaving it disarmed) and the

controller’s chirping. Pressing the button a second time unlocks the doors.

• Pressing and releasing any of the three other buttons will simply stop the

controller’s chirping, but leave the security system still sounding in its

alarm state.

The controller will continue to display the flashing icon indicating the violated

zone, while the system is disarmed, until the ignition switch is turned on.

Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor is triggered by a light impact

orshocktothevehicle,thesecuritysystemwillrespondbychirpingthesiren3times

and locking the doors. After this Prewarning circuit has been triggered five times

it will automatically shutdown until the alarm system is disarmed, then armed.

Additionally, the Excalibur system features an unique “enhanced” remote Panic

operation,regardingadditionaloperationsduringPanic,and inassociation withthe

transmitter button used in it’s activation or deactivation:

Remote Panic Feature

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, disarm

the system and does not engage the starter interrupt.

• Activating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will lock the doors, arm the

system and engage the starter interrupt.

• 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.

• If the system is allowed reset itself from remote Panic, it will enter the armed

state, locking the doors 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.

Ifdesired, itispossible tohave the “III”button operate the3rd channeloutputor the

two optional further channel outputs, instead of remote Panic- see page 37.

All Doors Except Driver’s Door* (press “II” button to program)

Similar to the previous locking feature, except this feature controls the unlock

operations when the ignition is turned off, and it has more options because of the

AL-1810-EDP’s multiple unlocking outputs.

*Multiple unlock outputs offer the capability of unlocking only the driver’s

door when the system is disarmed (Driver Door Priority Unlocking), and then the

option of unlocking all doors with a second press of the “disarm/unlock” button.

The driver’s door unlocking differently from the other doors must be config-

ured when the system is installed!

Your Excalibur AL-1810-EDP system offers the ultimate in comfort and

convenience- remote engine starting. This feature allows the vehicle’s interior to

be warmed in the winter or cooled in the summer before you enter the vehicle.

Simplyleavetheclimatecontrolssettothedesiredsettingswhenleavingthevehicle

prior to using the remote starting feature.

The following pages explain the remote engine starting operations. If the

vehiclehasa manual transmission, aspecial procedure is requiredwhenexiting the

vehicle to enable the ability to remote start. Otherwise, the actual activation of

remote start is the same for automatic or manual transmission vehicles.

Remote Engine Starting

Press and release together the controller or transmitter “arm/lock” and “disarm/

unlock” buttons.

How to Activate Remote Starting

The system’s reaction: The system will respond first by rapidly flashing the

Status Light in green color, then by turning on the ignition and flashing the parking

lights once. Then the starter will engage until the engine runs; 10 seconds later the

parking lights will illuminate steady during the period that the engine is running

from being remotely started. (having them flash instead is an option).

Theenginewillrunfor10minutes(thefactory-setperiod). A20minutesettingmay

be programmed, if desired, by referring to the “Programming Features” section.

Once the engine has been remotely started, to remotely stop it again press and

release together the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” buttons. The

system will stop the engine, and extinguish the parking lights.

If the controller was used: If the controller is used to activate remote engine

starting, to confirm the operation it will first play a musical melody, and display

the “start” icon, which are puffs of smoke and appear behind the vehicle (5 differ-

ent musical melodies are programmable). Once the engine has started, when the

vehicle’s parking lights come back on the “start” icon’s puffs of smoke will change

to appearing sequentially.

When the engine stops running, whether by safety condition or controller com-

mand, a different musical melody is played, and the “start” icon disappears. If a

• When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the climate

controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.

• If desired, the system’s alarm function may be armed or disarmed as needed

during remote start operations (the system must be disarmed before entering

the vehicle).

The remote engine starting feature should not be used when

the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!

Feature #3 Automatic Rearming

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)

“Automatic Rearming”, described on page 11, prevents the system from becoming

accidentally disarmed by having it arm itself after being disarmed, if a door is not

then opened or the ignition turned on. Options are to have Automatic Rearming

operate with or without also locking the doors when the system does rearm.

Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions

Factory Default Setting Alarm Only

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Automatic (press “II” button to program)

Alarm & Anti-Grind (press “III” button to program)

This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its default

setting,“AlarmOnly”, the Starter Interrupt is operable wheneverthealarm is armed.

The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the accidental grinding of the

starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is already running by remote starting

(as when the ignition key is turned to “run” to drive the vehicle).

The “Automatic” option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to automati-

cally engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and also 90 sec-

onds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement will occur even if the

security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in Valet Mode. Once the

Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must be armed, then disarmed with

the controller or transmitter, or placed into the Valet Mode by pressing and hold-

ing the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it. There are no Status Light

indications with this automatic form of Starter Interrupt.

Programming this feature off completely eliminates the Starter Interrupt out-

put, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.

Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by simply

turning the ignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s activation. After

10 seconds, the Emergency Override must be performed or the controller or trans-

mitter “disarm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the system.

Should the engine fail to start on the first attempt, the system will subsequently

make as many as three further attempts, as needed. Please note that each starting

attempttakesapproximately20secondsforthesystemtocheckthevehicle’sstatus,

cycle the ignition and starter circuits, and then monitor vehicle status again before

the next attempt.

Safety Features: Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely

starting, or if remotely started already, will stop the running engine. These

conditions are:

A pressed brake pedal.

Thegearselector not being in the “park” or“neutral”position,or alternatively,

the parking brake not being set.

An open hood.

If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the setup

procedure was performed.

Anopen door will notpreventthe system from startingtheengine; if theenginehas

already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the running engine,

unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the engine running by remote

control and the system armed will result in activating the system, which will stop

the running engine.

To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if needed) open

the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn the

switchto“on”or“run”position(not“start”!). Thenpressthebrakepedalorremove

thegear selectorfrom “park”;now theengine isnolongerrunningfrom thesystem,

but rather from the ignition key. To indicate this, the system will briefly sound the

siren. Pressing the Valet Switch will also turn off the system’s running the engine,

but without the violated safety circuit siren sounding.

Ifastartcommandissentfromthecontrollerortransmitter,butanyofthefollowing

conditionsarepresent,thesystemwillnotattempttostarttheengineandwillinstead

have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety circuit. The violated

safety circuit conditions which can produce this indication are the gear selector not

in the “park” position, an open hood or trunk, or a pressed brake pedal.

“Stick Shift” Remote Starting Setup Procedure: When theAL-1810-EDP

is installed into a manual transmission vehicle, Installer Programmable Feature #5

must be turned on. Then, whenever remote starting will be desired at a

safety circuit stops the engine, the “crossed out key” icon will momentarily appear

(but not if the transceiver’s command stops the engine).

If a safety circuit prevents the starting attempt, the “engine stopped” melody

will play, and the “crossed out key” icon will appear.

SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select the

number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1 press”, which

would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. If any of the three

anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would also be

required to turn it off once it is fully activated. The SecureCode operation is

described on pages 19 and 20.

Step 2 Press and release the controller or transmitter “arm/lock” and “disarm/

unlock” buttons together. The Status Light will begin flashing green, as

the AL-1810-EDP is now keeping the engine running. Do not press the

brake pedal from this point, and the parking brake must remain on.

Step 3 Within 2 minutes, turn off the ignition key, exit the vehicle and then press

the transmitter’s “arm/lock” button to lock the vehicle. The alarm will

also arm, and the previously running engine will stop. The Status Light

also changes to show the “armed” indication, flashing slowly red, but

every fourth flash will be green, indicating that the system is “armed, and

ready for remote starting”.

later time the following procedure must be performed before exiting the vehicle:

From this point, the vehicle may be remote started provided that it is not

disturbed. When ready to remote start, the activation of remote starting is the same

as previously described: press and release the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and

“disarm/unlock” buttons together.

During the setup procedure, the parking brake must remain set, and the regular

brake pedal must not be pressed when and after the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and

“disarm/unlock” buttons are pressed. After exiting the vehicle, the transmitter’s

“arm/lock” button only must be used to secure the vehicle. Using any other

transmitter button will produce the appropriate system response, but the remote

starting setup will be voided.

Once the system is fully setup for remote starting, it will start the engine if the

nexttransmitteroperationispressingthe“arm/lock”and“disarm/unlock”buttons

together. Ifanyothertransmitterbuttonispressed the remote starting setup will be

voided. If the armed alarm should be triggered during this period, the remote

starting setup condition will be voided.

Pit-Stop Feature: This feature allows you to turn off the ignition switch, re-

move your keys, leave the vehicle and lock your doors while leaving the engine

running. To use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition

switch, have the gear selector in “park”, and your foot off of the brake pedal.

Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will flash once and the siren chirps

5 times; then turn the ignition off. The engine will remain running for the pro-

grammed run time, or it will turn off if another controller or transmitter signal is

received, a safety circuit is violated, or if the Valet Switch is pressed.

This feature may be used anytime; it does not have to be specially programmed

to operate.

Each of the Programmable Features is described in detail in the

following pages. The User Programmable Features are described as

a first group, and the Installer Programmable Features as a second

group. It is important to note that programmable features affect the

exact operation of the system, and that the descriptions of any

features utilized should be used to supplement the basic system

operationswhichweredescribedinprevioussectionsofthisbooklet.

This group of User Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the first

level of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the

system’s operations, so the programming and operation of each are described.

Turbo Timer Feature: It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with

turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before turning it

off. When this Installer Programmable Feature is programmed on, the AL-1810-

EDP will automatically keep the engine running as follows:

This feature must be programmed by the installer, and turning it on offers three

run time choices- 1, 2, or 3 minutes. The alarm may be armed while the engine is

running. Turbo Timer can be prevented form engaging, or “bypassed” if desired,

by turning the engine off first and then engaging the parking brake, or if it’s al-

ready engaged simply step on the brake pedal to turn the running engine off.

• With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.

When the brake pedal is released, theAL-1810-EDP will keep the engine run-

ning for the selected time, and then automatically turn it off.

Low Battery Automatic Starting Feature: This feature may be used any-

time. Setting this feature to operate has the AL-1810-EDPautomatically start the

engine should the vehicle battery voltage drop to 11 volts. This feature is very

useful if the vehicle is to parked unattended for a long period of time, such as

extended parking at the airport while away. Low Battery automatic starting must

be activated for each occasion which it is desired to operate, as follows:

• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within 7

seconds press the brake pedal. The system will chirp 6 times. Then, open the

door, exit the vehicle and close the door, press the transmitter’s “arm/lock”

button to lock the vehicle (arming the system).

The feature is now turned on, and until the system is disarmed or the ignition

turned “on”, if the system detects the vehicle battery voltage dropping to 11 volts,

it will automatically start the engine.

To Access a Feature:

Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same num-

ber of times as the desired feature’s number.

•The siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash as

many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature

number which is now accessed.

•This and the following steps apply for both of the programming

levels- User Programming or Installer Programming.

To Change a Feature:

Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &

Release the appropriate controller or transmitter button.

•Pressing the “arm/lock” button typically turns the feature on; or sets

the feature’s first option. The siren will chirp once when this button

is pressed.

•Pressing the “disarm/unlock” button also typically turns the feature

off; or, sets the feature’s second option. The siren will chirp twice

when this button is pressed.

•Many features have third, and even fourth setting options. Pressing

the “II” and “III” buttons select these options. Confirmation chirps

when these buttons are pressed are three and four chirps respectively.

•Generally speaking, the Status Light will light solid when a selected

feature is programmed “on”, and not light when the feature is set for

“off”. Some features have more than one “on” option, in which case

the Status Light will remain on for all of the feature “on” settings.

To Access and Change further Features:

Step 6 If there are more features to be programmed, within 10 seconds of

the previous action Press & Release the Valet Switch the same

number of times as the next desired feature’s number.

•Again the siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash

as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the new

feature number which is now accessed.

•Use the controller or transmitter as described in Step 5 to change the

newly accessed feature as desired.

•Repeat this Step 6 for each additional feature until all features are

programmed.

Step 7 Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming

actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition on.

•The siren will sound briefly and the Status Indicator Light will go

out to confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.

The Excalibur also has a 3rd channel output which is similar to the 2nd

channel, but it does have some special operational design differences. To operate

it, press and hold the controller or transmitter “II” and “III” buttons together for 1

second. Or, a programmable feature allows the pressing of the “III” button only to

operate this output.

The differences are that 3rd channel output will operate regardless of the

ignition switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual confirmation.

Connection of the 3rd channel will vary, depending upon the chosen application,

and may require extra parts or installation.

when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before

placinginto AlarmValet Mode. Once thesystem isin AlarmValetMode, itcannot

become armed from the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.

Alarm Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different

procedures, although both operations use the Valet Switch, . Emergency Override

disarmsanarmedand activated system, and requires the ignition key. Alarm Valet

Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed system, but without the need

of the ignition key.

Alarm Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for

the security portion of the system to be operational, such as during extended

stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, washing, etc.

To Enter Alarm Valet Mode: With the system disarmed, and without pressing

the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.

• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status

Light will illuminate solid red, then a series of green flashes, then return to solid

red. The green flashes, numbering from 1 to 6 times, is a remote starting diag-

nostic code (see page 21).

• To indicate that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the Status Indicator Light

remains solid red whenever the system is in Alarm Valet Mode.

• To remind the user that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the siren will

chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.

UnauthorizedTransmitter AlertTM is a protectionfeature which maybeturned

onbytheuser (seethenextsection,“HowtoProgramControllersandTransmitters”).

When this protection feature is utilized, whenever a controller or transmitter is

added to operate the system, for 48 hours afterward a warning consisting of a brief

series of siren chirps sounds every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on.

Also during this 48 hour warning period, the 10 second Automatic Transmitter

Verification visual display will increase to being displayed for 90 seconds instead

of 10 seconds. When this feature is used and activated, after 48 hours the warning

chirpsdisappearandtheStatusLightflashingtransmitter/controllernumberreturns

to being displayed for 10 seconds.

Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM shows the total number of controllers

and/or transmitters which can operate the system, by flashing the Status Light with

this number for 10 seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on. When a

controller is used to operate the system, as part of its confirmation the number of

operating controllers and transmitters is also displayed on its icon screen.

TheExcalibur AL-1810-EDP features severalsecurity safeguards in oneof the

mostvulnerable areas of anyremotelycontrolled system. These features arefound

in both 2-way controllers and 1-way transmitters.

Controller and Transmitter Protection

Code JumpingTM It is quite easy, with the proper equipment, to record an alarm

or keyless entry system’s transmitter signal, and simply play the captured signal

back to the system to defeat it. Excalibur’s Code Jumping renders such “code

grabbing” devices useless by randomly changing each signal that the controller or

transmitter sends.

The Excalibur AL-1810-EDP system is capable of being operated by as many

as four controllers or transmitters; these can be any combination of 1-way

transmittersor2-waycontrollers. Regardlessofwhich,thetransmitterortransceiver

mustbe encoded,orprogrammed, tothe systeminorder tooperate it(exceptingthe

originals, which were programmed at the factory).

The programming procedure is identical for a transmitter or for a controller.

Also, it is during the controller/transmitter programming procedure that the

Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature may be turned on.

How to Program Controllers or Transmitters

Step 1 Have all controllers and/or transmitters which are to operate the system at

hand. Turn the ignition “on”.

controllers or transmitters does not affect Unauthorized Transmitter Alert.

Step 2 Turning the ignition back on.

Anti-Carjacking Protection

The Excalibur is equipped with three separate Anti-Carjacking protection

features, whose operation 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,53secondsafterbeingactivatedthesirenwillbegintochirpfor7seconds

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 count-

down 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 sys-

tem reset automatically after 60 seconds, and it can only be disengaged by:

Step 1 Turning the vehicle’s ignition off.

Step 3 Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the Valet

Anti-Carjacking protection activated an open door has the process start

Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after the door is opened to cancel

Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #18 (see pages 28,29, and

36).

Anti-Carjacking protection activated by the vehicle’s ignition has the

process start every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The Valet Switch must

be pressed within 60 seconds every time the vehicle is started to cancel Anti-

Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #17 (see pages 28,29, and 36).

ShouldtwofailedSecureCodeattempts bemade,the systemwillignoreanyfurther

presses of the Valet Switch for two minutes.

In addition to Emergency Override, if any of the three anti-carjacking features

are utilized, a correct customized SecureCode would also be required to turn off

anti-carjacking once it has become fully activated. How to program your own

customized SecureCode is explained on pages 29, 30 and 31.

The Status Light

The Status Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides a high

level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security operations, and

Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both colors are seen when

the two operations are occurring together. The Status Light is in the window unit,

and actually consists of two LED lights, with identical operation, for maximum

visibility.

Security System Status: The Red colored operations of the Status Light

indicate the status of the security system:

1) Off = Thesecuritysystem is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.

The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.

2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote

starter system off and in standby mode.

3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote starter

system off and in standby mode.

4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress,

with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
