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 Alarm Valet Mode (page 18), 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 this system. 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 34). 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, three or four times between
pauses, in the red color which indicates “alarm” operations. 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 has done so.
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 buttons
applications is being used to sound the vehicle’s existing horn. This feature changes
only the primary audible output, so that it can be utilized to sound the existing
horn by itself. This is for cases when the programmable relay is desired for other
features, such as unlocking the doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory
output should it be needed for the remote starting operation.
The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic
siren requires. When programming this feature for using the output for the vehicle’s
horn, the optional setting produce pulsed output on the system’s siren wire, in
three different pulse timings, which allow a degree of customization of the horn’s
sound during the alarm activation.
