While the System is Armed, and should it Trigger
While the security system is armed, the Status Light flashes red in color. Should
any intrusion attempt be detected, the system will instantly activate, or "trigger".
Once triggered, the Excalibur loudly sounds the siren and flashes the parking and
interior lights on and off.
must be closed to initiate the Last Door Arming sequence.
To temporarily prevent the system from automatically Last Door Arming, you have
these options: put the system into Valet Mode (page 14 and 15), leave the door open,
or, in most cases turning on the dome light may cause the system to detect that your
door is still open. Leaving the ignition key turned "on" is not recommended.
Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not have to
remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle, and using it
may entitle you to an insurance discount (please check with your agent or carrier).
When it is first triggered, the Status Light changes its red flash pattern, and the
doors will automatically relock. Should a door be open when the system triggers,
it will wait until the door is closed, and at that time relock the doors. The automatic
relocking of the doors denies access to the thief, and is just one of the many exclusive
patented features of the Excalibur. 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 30). If all protected
entries are secure at the end of the 30 seconds, the system will stop and rearm itself,
ready to detect further entry attempts. If there is a protected entry still open or the
impact sensor still in a violated state at the end of 30 seconds, the system will
reactivate for two more 30 second cycles. In this case the system will stop after a total
of 3 cycles and rearm automatically, and then ignore only the open entry or violated
sensor. When the entry is closed or the sensor is reset, protection will begin instantly
for the formerly affected circuit.
Anytime the security system triggers, the Status Light will indicate which
protected zone triggered the system by flashing two (hood/trunk), three (door) or
four (sensor) times between pauses. This “Zone Violation” code will continue to
flash, even after disarming. The system can hold two different violation codes in it's
memory, which is cleared by turning the ignition switch "on". Once the Excalibur
has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation changes to make the user
aware that it was activated.
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
of the system. Upon receiving a signal from the activated system, the controller will
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
Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override

press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by simply
turning th
e i
gnition 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.
Feature #6 Doors Lock With Ignition On
Factory Default Setting
On (
press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
Option:
Off (
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
This feature configures the system to automatically lock the vehicle’s doors every
time that the ignition switch is turned on. An exception to this would be if feature
#8 is turned on, and a door being open when the ignition switch is turned on. The
following feature #7 controls the automatic unlocking operations, and feature #8
provides for an override of this automatic locking if a door is open when the ignition
is turned on.

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
Excalibur’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!
If the system is installed without the Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking interface,
this feature unlocks all of the doors when the ignition switch is turned off.
If Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking is installed, this feature can control only the
driver’s door unlocking when the ignition is turned, all doors unlocking, or all doors
except the driver’s. The following feature provides for an override of this automatic
unlocking if a door is open when the ignition is turned off.
