• The “DISARM” also shows
“ARM”; to indicate the Armed
or Disarmed status of the sys-
tem. Neither icon is present
when the system is in Valet
Mode.
Controller Icons:
The LCD screen on the controller has various icons which
indicate system status. When the controller is used to operate the system, it receives
back a signal which causes it to chirp (emulating the siren) and display the
appropriate icons. Brief descriptions of the icons are:
The 2-Way Controller
The four system- operating buttons are described on pages 4-7. This section
explains the controller’s icons, and how to program the controller’s features.
• The digit readout is a clock, with AM and PM indication. This readout also
shows how which vehicle is
selected (1 or 2) and is used for
the timer functions (page 20).
• When “BAT LOW” appears the transceiver’s 1.5 volt AAA battery should be
replaced with a new battery.
• The locked or unlocked padlock (windshield) reflects the locked or unlocked
doors status as last operated by the Excalibur system (certain programmable
features can automatically arm the system, but not lock the doors). Arming
with the controller or transmitter always locks the doors; when disarming they
will unlock unless the system is activated and sounding.
• “VALET” indicates alarm Valet Mode, replacing the “ARM” or “DISARM”
icons. A musical tone occurs when placing the system into Valet Mode.
• The “crossed-out key” icon, on the hood area, only appears when the controller
is used with systems having built-in remote starting. This icon indicates an
aborted remote starting due to a violated safety circuit. The AL-1510-EDP can
• “HOOD/TRUNK” indicates that this vehicle zone is or has been violated. If
associated with the system being activated, the controller also emits chirps,
until any button is pressed. In this case, the icon remains flashing until the
ignition switch is turned on.
• The “3” within a circle appears when the 3rd Channel Output is operated.
• The controller’s chirps and musical tones may be turned off, which makes the
unit vibrate instead; “MUTE” indicates this state.

mode can be exited at any point within the menu by simply not pressing any
buttons for 12 seconds. The Echo chirps once when it exits programming mode.

CAR
Timer Functions:
The ECHO 2-way controller has 2 timer functions. A parking
timer for timing how long you’ve parked in a limited parking zone or at a parking
meter. Also, if this system is used to activate an optional remote start system, the
controller has a remote start timer to keep track of how long the vehicle’s engine
has been running.
Parking Timer: Press the
“LOCK”
button twice within 5 seconds to activate.
The digital clock display will change to “0:00” to indicate the timer has started.
The timer is in hours/minutes format and can be canceled by pressing the
“UNLOCK”
button. Press the “P” button during the timer to see the clock
display. It will display for 5 seconds then return to the timer.
Remote Start Timer: Using the 3rd channel output to activate a remote start
system will automatically start the timer. The digital clock display will change
to “0:00” to indicate the timer has started. The timer is in hours/minutes format
and can be canceled by deactivating the remote start system. Press the “P”
button during the timer to see the clock display. It will display for 5 seconds
then return to the timer.
Multi-Vehicle Operation:
The ECHO 2-way controller is capable of operating
up to 2 separate systems in separate vehicles. This is indicated by seeing “CAR1”
or “CAR2” in place of the clock display. Select “CAR1” by pressing “LOCK” and
“P” for 1 second. Select “CAR2” by pressing “UNLOCK” and “P” for 1 second.
Every alert to the controller will also indicate which “CAR” sent the alert.
