Arming Bypass:
Upon arming, if any system sensing circuit is inoperable,
that circuit only will automatically be bypassed. When an unsecured sensing circuit
is in a bypassed state, all other normally operating circuits will be protected. Should
the bypassed circuit become secured, it will automatically be reinstated for
protection 5 seconds later. When certain protection circuits are bypassed, such as
the hood/trunk and impact sensor, and the system is armed, it will indicate this by
chirping the siren three time and flashing the parking lights three times instead of
the normal arming indication of one chirp and one flash.
For example, should the trunk be open, you can still arm the system with the
transmitter, and in this case the arming indicator will be 3 siren chirps and 3 parking
light flashes. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming the system with the
transmitter.
If the controller was used for the arming, it will chirp three times instead of the
normal one time, and its display will also flash the icon of the zone which is
bypassed.
Sensor Bypass:
When arming the Excalibur system with the controller or
transmitter, you may temporarily deactivate the impact sensor without affecting the
system’s other sensing circuits. To deactivate the sensor, arm the system by pressing
the “arm/lock” button, then press and release the transmitter’s “
II
” button within
three seconds.
You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that the security
system has armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next time the
system is armed normally with one “arm/lock” button press, the sensor will again
be part of your protection.
If the controller is used for the arming and then bypassing the sensor, let it
confirm the arming, then press the “
II
” button. The controller will then chirp twice
and turn on its “Impact” icons to indicate the bypassed sensor.
Automatic “Last Door Arming” of the System
The Excalibur can also be programmed to automatically arm itself, and in this
process, to lock or not lock the doors. When this feature is utilized, closing the
vehicle's last door will cause the siren to chirp once, the parking and interior lights
to flash once and the Status Light to start rapidly flashing red. Thirty seconds later
the siren will chirp again and the lights will flash again, the doors will lock (which
is separately programmable) and the Status Light will slow to a steady red flash,
confirming that the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened
before the single siren chirp at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming process stops, and
will reset to start over when the point of entry is again closed. All protected entries
The Excalibur system’s separate “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button
design allows repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/lock”
button will simply rearm the system, and vice versa when pressing the “disarm/
unlock” button. Controllers and transmitters both operate in this fashion.
