How the 2-Way Echo controller reacts is included in the following
general system operation descriptions, and then a more detailed
description the Echo’s icons and instructions for its programming
are detailed on pages 17-20.
The Excalibur AL-1500-EDP is one of the most versatile vehicle
security systems made. It has many programmable features which
can offer more functions 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 Excalibur can sound the vehicle’s horn in place of
or in addition to the electronic siren which is included with it. But
the operations are described with the siren only.

It is important to understand that the Excalibur has a primary audible output, for
the electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable relay 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. 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
siren requires. When programming this 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 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 can include allowing 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.
