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, exit the
vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press and release the “arm/lock” button
once.
Your Excalibur system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its
contents. “Arming” your system turns on the protection, disabling the vehicle’s
starter and locking the doors. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will
Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho siren and flashing the parking
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
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
Regardless of how it became armed, if the system is armed the window unit’s Status
Light flashes in the red color.
The system’s reaction:
The parking lights will flash once, the siren 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 engage to
prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully armed,
and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.
If the controller was used:
Immediately after the system responds the control-
ler 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 controllers is briefly displayed.

*If the 2-way controller is used to operate the system, it will receive a signal
back and confirm that the arming operation was performed.
*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with
doorlocks connected, and the interior lights connected. Also, the vehicle horn
may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.
