Feature #13 2nd Channel Also Disarms System
Factory Default Setting
On (

“arm/lock” button to program
)
Option:
Off (
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
“2nd channel” is most commonly used to remotely open the
vehicle’s trunk, in
which case the alarm should also disarm. This feature, turned on, configures the
system to disarm when the 2nd channel is used. If turned off, the 2nd channel output
will still occur, with 2 chirps, but without the parking light flashes; and if armed, the
system will not disarm.
Feature #14 3 or 45 Second Arming Delay
Factory Default Setting
3 Seconds

When the system is armed, whether by the controller, transmitter or by an automatic
feature, there is a brief period of time in which a system activation, or alarm, cannot
occur. This Arming Delay allows the system to completely process its sensory
parameters, which allows the vehicle to stabilize. In some cases more time is needed
than the factory-set 3 seconds, and this feature offers three longer delay options.

It is important to understand that the Excalibur has a primary audible output, for
the electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable output which among its
applications is being used 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 with an added relay to either reverse the polarity to (-) Negative or as
a higher (+) Positive amperage which can be connected directly to the vehicle
horn.
The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic

time. If this feature is turned off, the parking lights flash once only, and do not
illuminate. This feature only affects the Excalibur’s parking light operation, and not
the interior light operation.

Secondary Wiring Harness
(8-Wire Connector)
Brown Wire - (Positive Siren Output):
The Brown wire is a 1 Amp
Positive output designed to operate the electronic siren for audible confirmations,
and to sound if the alarm is triggered.
SIREN CONNECTION:
The Brown wire may be connected directly to the
siren's Red wire, and the siren's Black wire is connected to (-) Ground.
SIREN MOUNTING:
Find a location in the engine compartment away from the
extreme heat of the engine and manifold. A suitable location will offer a firm
mounting surface, will also allow sound dispersion out of the engine compartment,
and not be accessible to a thief. The siren must be pointed downward to avoid
moisture getting inside it and to enhance sound dispersal.
SIREN CHIRPS:
The siren itself can be set for loud or less loud confirmation
chirps- cut the short Black wire loop on the siren for louder confirmation chirps.
The confirmation chirps volume may also be adjusted to four different volume
levels by User Programmable Feature #10. User Programmable Feature #9 turns
the chirps off completely, or it can also set the system to only chirps in valet mode,
or to chirp except when the system is in valet mode.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the output capacities of either wire-
the Brown siren wire is 1 Amp, Positive output; and the
Black/Brown programmable horn wire output is Negative 250mA.
HORN CONNECTION:
Both Excalibur models can sound the vehicle’s
existing horn in addition to, or in place of, the electronic siren.
Sounding the horn alone can be accomplished by one of these means:
1)
Use the Brown/Black wire on the orange 2 pin connector. It is a 250ma
negative output. If the vehicle’s horn circuit requires more current, you will
need to wire a relay to up the amperage.
2)
If the Brown/Black wire is being used for one of its other programmable
options, use the Brown wire. Change Feature #15 to one of the “Pulsed”
output settings, and typically use a relay to convert the Brown wire to
Negative, or higher output, to connect to the vehicle’s horn relay wire or horn
wire directly. See the Universal Relay Diagram on page 34.
HORN & SIREN CONNECTION:
Both Excaliburs can also sound the siren
and horn together. Connect the Brown wire to the siren and connect the Brown/
Black wire to vehicle horn as described above.
