The Excalibur also has a
3rd channel output
which is similar to the 2nd
channel, but it does have some special operational design differences. To operate
it, press and hold the controller or transmitter “
II
” and “
III
” buttons together for 1
second. Or, a programmable feature allows the pressing of the “
III
” button only to
operate this output.
The differences are that 3rd channel output will operate regardless of the
ignition switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual confirmation.
Connection of the 3rd channel will vary, depending upon the chosen application,
and may require extra parts or installation.
interior lights for 30 seconds, unlocking the doors, and disarming the system if it
was armed. The 2nd channel output will not operate when the ignition switch is "on"
unless the vehicle's door is open. If desired, the security system can be programmed
to remain armed when this feature is used, and connection of the 2nd channel may
require extra parts or installation.
There are also
optional 4th channel and 5th channel outputs
, which are
available if more remote control functions are desired. These outputs can be
repurposed from two other system outputs, the factory arm and disarm outputs, by
an Installer Programmable Feature #9 (see page 42).
When these outputs are programmed to operate, pressing the transmitter or
controller “arm/lock” and “
II
” buttons together will activate the 4th channel output.
Pressing the “disarm/unlock” and “
III
” buttons will activate the 5th channel. Or,
if desired, the controller or transmitter “
III
” button can be programmed by User
Programming Feature #21 to operate any of these channels.
The Valet Switch is located in the Window Unit, or optionally, the installer may
have mounted a separate Valet Switch in a hidden, yet accessible location. Please
ensure that you and others who use your vehicle are aware of the location of the
Valet Switch and its uses. The Valet Switch has several functions:
Using the Valet Switch-
Alarm Valet Mode & Starting Valet Mode
•
It is also used in the procedures for programming features and programming
controllers or transmitters to operate the Excalibur system. See the “Programming
sections of this manual for details on these uses.
•
Should your controller or transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the Valet
Switch, and the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system with an
Emergency Override
.
•
Placing your system into
Alarm Valet Mode
, which prevents it from arming.
•
Placing it into
Starting Valet Mode
, which prevents it from remote starting.

To a large extent the Excalibur AL-1810-EDP’s versatility is due to an incredible
array of programmable features- 33 main-system programmable features which
offer almost 100 choices of operational and interfacing options.
How to Program Features
To Enter Programing Mode and Change Features:

For easier management of the programmable features, they are divided into two
separate accessibility levels. Features which allow the user to customize the
system’s operation according to their own choice are in one group, and the features
which are installation related, or intended for the installer’s use are in a second
group. The AL-1810-EDP system has 23
User Programmable Features
, and there
are 10
Installer Programmable Features
.
The vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the Programming
Mode, then the controller or transmitter is used to change features. Once the system
is in Programming Mode, a 10 second period without programming activity will
cause the system to automatically exit Programming Mode. Features can be
selected in any order as desired.
The same basic “
Features Programming Mode
” is the means for changing any
of the features; the mode itself can be accessed as either the User level, or the
Installer level.
•The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will
flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.
•In the case of accessing the Installer Mode, the siren chirp then brief
sounding will be heard at the fifth valet press, and then again at the
tenth valet switch press.
•The Status Light shows red color for User Programming, and Green
color for Installer programming.
•In either Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming
activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Program-
ming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or pressing a trans-
mitter button once a feature is accessed.
