Pink Wire - (Ignition #1 Input/Output):
This connection is critical to
the proper operation of many of the security system's features. The Pink wire is an
ignition "on" input to the security system and it is an output, as during remote
starting operations it supplies 12 Volts Positive to the vehicle's ignition circuit.
When remote starting, this output stays active while the starter is engaged, and
continues to supply power to the ignition circuit for the duration of the remote start
engine run period. If the system detects a violated safety circuit, receives a
transmitter command to stop running, or if the programmed run time expires, this
output will stop supplying power, which stops the running engine.
CONNECTION:
This wire must be connected to the vehicle's Ignition #1 (also
known as Primary Ignition) wire. The proper vehicle wire will measure Positive 12
Volts when the ignition key is in the "Run" and "Start" positions and no voltage in
the "Off" and "Accessory" positions. This wire is found in the ignition switch
wiring harness. If two or more Primary Ignition wires are present, an optional dual
relay socket and one or two relays may be used on the additional wire(s). If more
than three Primary Ignition wires are present, use the system’s Pink/White Ignition
(programmable) output wire for the second vehicle ignition. If more than two
vehicle primary ignition circuits are present, additional optional relays may be used,
which are plugged into the Satellite Relay Port(s).
In most cases the electrical part of
the Ignition Switch is joined directly
to the mechanical key cylinder.
But in some vehicles, a
linkage rod connects the
key cylinder to the
electrical
ignition
switch.
Orange Wire - (Accessory Output):
The Orange Accessory wire's
operation differs from the Pink Ignition #1 wire's operation. When remote starting,
this output supplies 12 Volts Positive to the vehicle's chosen circuit as soon as
remote starting is activated, but stops while the starter is engaged. Once the engine
starts and the starter disengages, this wire returns to having 12 Volts Positive output.
From this point in the remote starting cycle the Orange wire continues to

•
The first setting (programmed by the “arm/lock” button) has the system
produce both the lock and unlock outputs as .8 second in duration. This is the
most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.
•
The second setting (programmed by the “disarm/unlock” button) changes the
lock and unlock outputs to be a longer 3 second pulse output. This is for certain
vehicles which require a longer output pulse from the system’s control unit;
typically cars having vacuum pump systems, although the longer setting is also
more suitable in some newer vehicles.
•
Some newer vehicles require a double pulse output to remotely unlock the doors
and/or to disarm a factory-equipped security system, which is what the Double
Pulse Unlock setting provides (it is programmed by the “
II
” button ). The lock
output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.
•
The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “
III
” button) may be used
with vehicles which are originally equipped with the total-closure feature.
Typically, a total closure feature is when locking the vehicle’s doors if the key
in the door is held to “lock” for a period of time the vehicle will close all
windows and the sunroof, in addition to locking the doors.
Selecting this feature setting changes the system’s door lock output pulse from
a .8 second to as long as a 28 second duration output. The unlock output is 3
seconds in this setting.
Note:
When this feature is turned on, during the 28 second period after arm-
ing the system, the lock output can be stopped on demand by pressing the
“arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” button. Only the output will stop- pressing
either button again will normally operate the system, and at any time after the
28 second lock output period ends.
If either of the programmable relays are set for lock or unlock operation (the next
two Installer Programmable Features), the settings if this feature will operate the
programmable relays accordingly, in addition to the primary system doorlocking
outputs.

The Excalibur AL-1610-EDP has two 250mA negative outputs, which can be
programmed to perform several different functions. The primary function is to
operate the vehicle’s dome, or interior lighting as part of the system’s operations.
Optionally, if desired or needed, this output can be programmed to be a 2nd door
lock output, or as negative ignition or accessory outputs.
