There are two methods of disarming the Excalibur:
Disarming the System
Disarming the System Using
the Controller or Transmitter
2-
The second method is an “
Emergency Override
” alternative, should the
controller or transmitter become lost or inoperable. This method uses the Valet
Switch, but the vehicle’s ignition key is also required.
1-
The primary method is to use the
controller or
transmitter
by pressing and
releasing its “disarm/unlock” button. This is the normal “daily use” method.
Press and release the controller or transmitter “disarm/unlock” button
once to instantly disarm the system, disengaging the starter interrupt and unlock the
doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature installed, then upon
disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the “disarm/unlock” button is
pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock.
The system’s reaction:
Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice, the
Status Light turning off, and the parking lights flashing twice, then with the interior
lights illuminating for 30 seconds for approach illumination. The lights will turn
off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on" before the 30 seconds expires.
If the controller was used:
It will confirm by chirping twice (or four times if
the system was activated), showing “DISARM” icon and “unlocked lock”, and
is pressed. Which button being pressed has these effects upon the triggered
Excalibur system:
• Pressing “arm/lock” will rearm the system, stopping both system’s alarm
condition (leaving it armed), and stop the controller’s chirping.
• Pressing “disarm/unlock” will disarm the system, leaving the doors locked,
stopping both system’s alarm condition (leaving it disarmed) and the
controller’s chirping. Pressing the button a second time unlocks the doors.
• Pressing and releasing any of the three other buttons will simply stop the
controller’s chirping, but leave the security system still sounding in its
alarm state.
The controller will continue to display the flashing icon indicating the violated
zone, while the system is disarmed, until the ignition switch is turned on.
Prewarning Detection Circuit:
When the sensor is triggered by a light impact
or shock to the vehicle, the security system will respond by chirping the siren 3 times
and locking the doors. After this Prewarning circuit has been triggered five times
it will automatically shutdown until the alarm system is disarmed, then armed.
If the controller was used to arm the system and prewarning occurs, if in range it will
react by chirping 3 times and showing the “impact” starburst icon on its display.
Feature #12 Parking Light Illumination Upon Disarm
Factory Default Setting
On (
press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
Option:
Off (
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
This feature affects the parking light operation when the
system is disarmed. When
this feature is turned on, the parking lights flash once, and then turn back on for
external illumination for 30 seconds unless the ignition key is turned on during that
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.
Feature #13 2nd Channel Also Disarms System
Factory Default Setting
On (
press
“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
(
press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
Options:
15 Seconds
(
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
30 Seconds
(
press “
II
” button to program
)
45 Seconds
(
press
“
III
” button to program
)
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 can include 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.
Feature #15 Steady Siren or Pulsed Horn
Factory Default Setting
Steady Siren
(
press
“arm/lock” button to program
)
Options:
Pulsed Horn Low
(
press
“disarm/unlock” button to program
)
Pulsed Horn Medium
(
press “
II
” button to program
)
Pulsed Horn High
(
press
“
III
” button to program
)
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
