Installation Considerations

Before Starting The Installation: This entire booklet should be read

before starting the installation. An understanding of which control module wires
are to be used and their functions is essential. Installations will vary from car to car
, as some control module wire connections are required, while others are optional.
Before starting the installation, it should be determined which control module
wires will be used. Most installers will list these wires, then "map out" the instal­lation by locating and noting the target wires in the vehicle. This will also deter­mine the best location for the control module, which is mounted upon completion
of the installation and testing of the system.

Some of the wiring connections, such as power, ignition and starter interrupt, are
best made at the ignition switch harness, located around the steering column area.

The AL-1010-EDP is a 1-way security system,
and the AL-1510-EDP is the same, except it is
prepackaged as a 2-way system. This installation
booklet describes both models; please carefully
read these instructions before starting the
installation. The numerous wiring connections
required, and the options offered by several of
the programmable features makes pre-planning
the installation critical.

- IMPORTANT -

More complete instructions for programming
transmitters and features may be found in the
Operation Guide manual.

Other typical connection points may be behind the dash or in the kick panel areas,
for parking and/or interior lights, trigger circuits and power doorlocks. Soldering
or proper use of crimping terminals for all wiring connections are recommended.

CAUTION! Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any harness
or wires encased in Y ellow or Red tubing or sleeves. Do not use
a standard test light, as it can deploy an airbag or damage on­board computers and sensors if the wrong circuits are probed. A
Digital Multimeter (DMM) should be used.

Mounting The Control Module: The Control Module contains the

necessary electronics required for the system's operation. Always mount this mod­ule in the vehicle's interior compartment, in a secure location that is not easily
accessible. Ensure that moisture, vibration and temperature extremes are mini­mized. Acceptable locations include mounting behind the dash, behind the glovebox
or other interior panels.

Mounting The Electronic Siren: The electronic “2-n-1 Psycho Siren”

must be mounted external to the vehicle but not accessible or vulnerable to tam­pering. Locations in the engine compartment typically offer the best mounting
opportunities. See page 9 for specific mounting and connection details.

1) Contained within the 2-way transceiver unit, as with the AL-1510-EDP.

2) Or as separate items, as with the AL-1010-EDP, which can be mounted

independently or mounted in an included combination holder.

The separate Status Light and Valet Switch may be used with the AL-1510-EDP as
optional parts (not included), and the transceiver unit hidden, if desired; and simi­larly the AL-1010-EDP may be upgraded to 2-way operation, which adds the trans­ceiver to the system. It is important to understand this flexible compatibility, both
ways, between the two security systems, and with the two forms of Status Light
and Valet Switch.

Transceiver- (AL-1510-EDP) Using the transceiver -mounted items requires

no special installation considerations; this places the Status Light in a good posi­tion to be seen, both inside and outside of the vehicle, and the Valet Switch at a
convenient location to the user. The user may customize the switch presses re­quired to perform an Emergency Override with Programmable Feature #1 (the
factory setting is the most convenient “1 press”).

The transceiver unit may be mounted directly to an interior glass by utilizing
the attached adhesive pad (clean and prepare the glass before adhering). The best
operating range performance is obtained by mounting the transceiver placed as
high as possible in the vehicle. Avoid mounting this unit close to metal parts or
structure of the vehicle.

Separate- (AL-1010-EDP) In the case of the AL-1010-EDP, or as optional
parts for the AL-1510-EDP, the separate Status Light and Valet Switch may be
custom-mounted inside the vehicle. For the Status Light drill a 9 / 32” hole in a
suitable interior panel; be sure to carefully ensure that the area behind the location
has an unobstructed depth of at least 1/2”. Then route the wiring harness through
the hole to the control module, and snap the light in place. Mount the V alet Switch,
using its adhesive pad, in a hidden location which is accessible to the operator;
carefully route the wires to the control module.

Or, use the combination holder for the Status Light and Valet Switch. Mount

The Status Light and Valet Switch are in two forms:

Programming Features

Step 6 If there are more features to be programmed, within 10 seconds of

the previous action Press & Release the Valet Switch the same
number of times as the next desired feature’s number.

• Again the siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash as many
times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the new feature number

which is now accessed. Then use the controller or transmitter as described
in Step 5 to change the newly accessed feature as desired.

To Access and Change further Features:

Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &

Release the appropriate controller or transmitter button.

• Pressing the “arm/lock” button typically turns the feature on; or sets the

feature’s first option. The siren will chirp once when this button is pressed.

• Pressing the “disarm/unlock” button also typically turns the feature off;

or, sets the feature’s second option. The siren will chirp twice.

• Many features have third, and even fourth setting options. Pressing the

“II” and “III” buttons select these options. Confirmation chirps when
these buttons are pressed are three and four chirps respectively.

Change the Feature:

Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same

number of times as the desired feature’s number.

•The siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash off the same
number of times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature
number accessed.

Power Doorlock Options: The AL-1010-EDP and AL-1510-EDP have

flexibility of these options for interfacing the vehicle power doorlocks.

DLS Port- This option is the traditional “DLS” port, which can direct-wire

basic 3-wire Negative pulse doorlocking systems, and accept all Omega analog
doorlocking accessories (dual, triple relay sockets, or the modular clip-on add-on
relay packs). All Omega doorlocking data bus module accessories can be driven by
this port. The DLS port offers two unlocking outputs, so that driver’s door priority
unlocking can be configured. See pages 16-21 for basic wiring diagrams.

Data Port for IntelliKit & OmegaLink Modules & Bypasses: Omega

IntelliKit & OmegaLink data bus interface modules and bypass kits simply plug into
this port. These data-to-data (D2D) accessory products save time, and in many
cases offer the only acceptable interface means for many newer vehicle’s doorlocking
system and/or for the OEM-antitheft bypass when adding an alarm or an optional
accessory remote start module with the Excalibur. Omega offers the industries most
comprehensive line of these products (go to www.caralarm.com for latest application
guide), and each includes its own vehicle-specific instructions. Also see page 22.

Backup Battery: Both models have backup battery capability. If the system

loses vehicle power it will revert to operating with basic security functions, if the
backup battery is installed. See page 21 for installation details.

the assembly in a location where it can easily be seen by the driver, and preferably
where it can be seen from outside. Two mounting methods are provided: double­sided adhesive tape, and two screws. If using the adhesive tape, properly prepare
the mounting surfaces to ensure good adhesion. If using the screws for a more
permanent mounting, carefully separate the housing halves, install the screws
(avoid overtightening), then snap the assembly halves back together. Carefully
route the wiring harness to the control module to avoid any chances of it being
chafed or pinched.

Programmable Outputs: Both models also have two additional Negative

outputs which are programmable. As received they are dedicated “negative parking
light” and “horn honk” outputs, but if desired these can be used for a OEM alarm
arm, OEM alarm disarm or 4th and 5th remote channel outputs.

Auxiliary Sensor Port: Both models include an impact sensor which

conveniently plugs directly into an auxiliary sensor port. All Omega sensors are
fully compatible with the Excalibur’s sensor port. An available Sensor Expansion
Module (AU-EXP) allows plug-in usage of multiple sensors. See page 21.

See page 22 for instructions regarding the AL-1510-EDP Widow-Mounted

Transceiver Unit; and for the AL-1010-EDP’s Coaxial Antenna Cable.

Wiring Connections

The following sections detail connections for each wire, of
each system’s wiring harnesses. Always insure that the
Black ground wire is grounded, and that the secondary
wiring harness is plugged in, before connecting power
circuits to the control module. The best installation proce­dure is to make all connections, and only then plug the
individual wiring harnesses into the system control module.

- NOTE -

Page - 6

Main Wiring Harness

(5-Wire Connector)

Red Wire - (Constant Power Input): The Red wire's function is to

supply Constant Positive 12 Volts for security system's operation. When 12 Volts
is first applied to the Red wire, the system will revert to the state in which it was in
when power was taken away. If the vehicle is to be serviced, especially if it involves
the battery, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. This will prevent the system
from being activated if the battery is disconnected and reconnected. The Red wire
also supplies 12 Volt Positive to the module's internal relay for flashing the parking
lights.

CONNECTION: Connect the Red wire to a Constant Positive 12 Volt source.

This source should have Positive 12 Volts with at least a 15 Amp capacity at all times
and in all ignition key positions. Connection locations can be at the supply wire at

Black Wire - (Ground): The Black wire provides Negative ground for the

system; proper connection of this wire is very important.

CONNECTION: Using the correctly sized crimp-on ring terminal, connect the

Black wire to the metal frame of the vehicle, preferably using an existing machine­threaded fastener. Make sure that the ring terminal attached to the Black wire has
contact with bright, clean metal. If necessary, scrape any paint, rust or grease away
from the connection point until the metal is bright and clean. If the control module
has an insufficient ground connection, the security system can find partial ground
through the wires that are connected to other circuits, and function, but not
correctly. As the system can partially operate, a bad ground wire connection would
not likely be suspected, and in many cases a poor ground is difficult to diagnose.

pressing the “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” button. Only the output itself
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 outputs are set for lock or unlock operation (the next
two Programmable Features), the settings if this feature will operate the program­mable outputs accordingly, in addition to the system’ s primary DLS port doorlocking
outputs.

Feature #24 Horn Honk Output Functions

Factory Default Setting Horn Honk Output

(press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Options:
OEM Alarm Disarm Output (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Channel 5 Latch Output (press “II” button to program)
Channel 5 On Demand Output (press “III” button to program)

The default setting of this feature is to operate the vehicle’s existing horn; either in
conjunction with the electronic siren, or in place of the siren. Using both the siren
and the horn creates an extremely effective security system, and be configured in
many vehicles without further parts. The remaining options are OEM alarm disarm,
and Channel 5, with the same operation parameters as described above for Channel
4, except that the “disarm/unlock” and “III” buttons operate it, and Feature #21 can
also change this channel’s button assignment.

Feature #23 (-) Parking Light Output Functions

Factory Default Setting Parking Light Flash Output

(press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Options:
OEM Alarm Arm Output (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Channel 4 Latch Output (press “II” button to program)
Channel 4 On Demand Output (press “III” button to program)

The default setting of this feature is to provide a negative flashing light output.
Options for this output are a (-) OEM alarm arm output, which is more frequently
encountered in newer vehicles. Other options are an additional remote output,
operated by the transmitter’s “arm/lock” and “II” buttons together, and in two forms
of operation: “Latch”, in which the output toggles (i.e.- turns on and turns off) with
each buttons press, and “On Demand” which is output occurring while the buttons
are being pressed. Feature #21 can change this channel’s button assignment.

Page - 31

CAUTION! Do not exceed the output capacities of either wire­both outputs are rated at (-) Negative 250mA.

Options:
Panic (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
4th Channel (press “II” button to program)
5th Channel (press “III” button to program)

This feature changes how the controller’s or transmitter’s “III” button operates.
Normal operation, or the default setting, has the “III” button operate the 3rd Channel
output (press the button twice within 5 seconds). This feature allows changing it to
instead operate panic or either of the two other optional channel outputs (see the
Complete Programmable Features Matrix on page 33). Panic can always be
operated, by the alternative methods of pressing either the “arm/lock” and “disarm/
unlock” button for 3 seconds.

Page - 30

Feature #22 Doorlocking Functions

Factory Default Setting .8 Second Lock & Unlock Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
3 Second Lock & Unlock Output (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Double Pulse Unlock Output (press “II” button to program)
Total Closure Lock Output (press “III” button to program)

This single feature gives the installer several needed options, to match the security
system’s doorlocking outputs to suite different vehicle requirements.

• 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 arm­ing the system, the lock output can be stopped on demand by the user by

the ignition switch, the supply wire behind the fuse block or the fuse/junction block.
Never just insert the Red wire or any other security system wire behind a fuse. Also,
please note that connecting directly to the battery's Positive terminal will expose this
connection to failure due to a corrosive environment unless the connection has a
protective coating.

Yellow Wire - (Ignition Input): The Yellow wire is an ignition "on"

input to the security system. This connection is critical to the proper operation of
many of the security system's features.

CONNECTION: This wire supplies Positive 12 Volts to the control module

whenever the ignition switch is "on". This connection should be made at the ignition
switch harness, to the primary ignition circuit. Primary ignition has 0 Volts when
the ignition key is in the "Lock", "Off" and "Accessory" positions; and Positive 12
Volts in the "Run"

and "Start" positions. Locate the correct wire at the ignition

switch harness and securely splice the Yellow wire to it.

Orange Wire - (Negative Output While Armed); Includes the
thick Red & White Wires attached to the relay socket - (Starter
Interrupt): The Orange wire is a starter interrupt output, which is active when

the security system is in an armed state; the relay that it is attached to the Orange wire
prevents the starter from engaging, if a starting attempt is made while the system is
armed.

CONNECTION: The typical starter interrupt is shown here-

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 allows a degree of customizing of the horn’s
sound during the alarm activation.

Page - 29

Feature #16 Alarm Functions Byp ass

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature converts the system into a strictly Remote Keyless Entry System by
eliminating all antitheft alarm-oriented operations and features. When this feature
is programmed on, the Excalibur has remote keyless entry operation only.

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by the ignition key being turned on. All
3 forms of Anti-Carjacking protection are described in the Operation Guide.

Feature #19 Remote Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by a signal from the controller or
transmitter. All 3 forms of Anti-Carjacking protection are described in the
Operation Guide.

Feature #18 Door Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by a door being opened. All 3 forms of
Anti-Carjacking protection are described in the Operation Guide.

Feature #20 Open Door Warning Upon Arming

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

When this feature is turned on, if one of the vehicle's doors is open at the time that
the system is armed via the controller or transmitter, the siren will chirp 3 times and
the parking lights will flash 3 times instead of once.

Feature #17 Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection

Feature #21 “III” Button Operation

Factory Default Setting 3rd Channel

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

The starter wire must be located and cut. Cutting the vehicle's starter wire will result
in two sides- the "ignition switch" side and the "starter solenoid" side. It is
recommended that this connection be done as close to the ignition switch as
possible. Use a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to find the correct wire.

The starter wire will read Positive 12 Volts

only when ignition key is in "start"
position (cranking the engine). Cut this wire at a suitable location. Confirm that this
is the correct wire by turning the ignition switch to the "start" position; the starter
should not engage.

Connect the starter disable socket's Red wire to the ignition switch side. Con­nect the starter disable socket’s White wire to the starter solenoid side. Be sure
that good, solid electrical connections are made.

CAUTION! Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any harness
or wires encased in Y ellow or Red tubing or sleeves. Do not use
a standard test light, as it can deploy an airbag or damage on­board computers and sensors if the wrong circuits are probed. A
Digital Multimeter (DMM) should be used.

Gray Wire - (2nd Channel or Negative Trunk Release Out­put): The Gray wire is an optional output operated by the controller/transmitter

“II” button; typically the primary use is for trunk release.

CONNECTION: If the vehicle's existing trunk release switch operates as

switching Negative to activate trunk release, and draws 250mA or less, the Gray
wire may connected directly to the vehicle’s switch output wire. If the target wire
is Positive switching, and/or draws more than 250mA, an optional relay must be
used. To configure a relay to the Gray wire, connect it to relay pin (85), and
connect Constant Positive 12 Volts to relay pin (86). Connect pin (30) to power, or
ground, as needed. Pin (87) is then connected to the vehicle's trunk wire. See the
Universal Relay Diagram on page 34.

Page - 8

See page 22 for instruction regarding the control module’s
antenna cable or window-mounted transceiver.

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 allows 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 output which among its
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 with an added relay to either reverse the polarity to (-) Negative or as
a higher (+) Positive amperage which can be connected directly to the vehicle
horn.

The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic

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.

Page - 9

Secondary Wiring Harness

(8-Wire Connector)

Brown Wire - (Positive Siren Output): The Brown wire is a 1 Amp

Positive output designed to operate the electronic siren for audible confirmations,
and to sound if the alarm is triggered.

SIREN CONNECTION: The Brown wire may be connected directly to the

siren's Red wire, and the siren's Black wire is connected to (-) Ground.

SIREN MOUNTING: Find a location in the engine compartment away from the

extreme heat of the engine and manifold. A suitable location will offer a firm
mounting surface, will also allow sound dispersion out of the engine compartment,
and not be accessible to a thief. The siren must be pointed downward to avoid
moisture getting inside it and to enhance sound dispersal.

SIREN CHIRPS: The siren itself can be set for loud or less loud confirmation

chirps- cut the short Black wire loop on the siren for louder confirmation chirps.
The confirmation chirps volume may also be adjusted to four different volume
levels by User Programmable Feature #10. User Programmable Feature #9 turns
the chirps off completely , or it can also set the system to only chirps in valet mode,
or to chirp except when the system is in valet mode.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the output capacities of either wire­the Brown siren wire is 1 Amp, Positive output; and the
Black/Brown programmable horn wire output is Negative 250mA.

HORN CONNECTION: Both Excalibur models can sound the vehicle’s

existing horn in addition to, or in place of, the electronic siren.

Sounding the horn alone can be accomplished by one of these means:

1) Use the Brown/Black wire on the orange 2 pin connector. It is a 250ma

negative output. If the vehicle’s horn circuit requires more current, you will
need to wire a relay to up the amperage.

2) If the Brown/Black wire is being used for one of its other programmable

options, use the Brown wire. Change Feature #15 to one of the “Pulsed”
output settings, and typically use a relay to convert the Brown wire to
Negative, or higher output, to connect to the vehicle’s horn relay wire or horn

wire directly. See the Universal Relay Diagram on page 34.

HORN & SIREN CONNECTION: Both Excaliburs can also sound the siren
and horn together. Connect the Brown wire to the siren and connect the Brown/
Black wire to vehicle horn as described above.

When this feature is used to remove these chirps, the system will still have 3 chirps
upon arming if a protected zone is violated, and still have 4 chirps upon disarming
if the system was previously activated. Using this feature to turn off the arm and
disarming chirps will not affect the Prewarning operation, Unauthorized Transmit­ter Alert (if used), nor will it affect the chirps used when programming.

The other two settings will have the confirmation chirps operate only when the
system is in Valet Mode, and not otherwise; or, the chirps will operate except when
the system is in Valet Mode.

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

Feature #10 Confirmation Chirp V olume

Factory Default Setting Medium High

(press “II” button to program)

Options:
Low (softest) (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Medium Low (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
High (loudest) (press “III” button to program)

This feature allows the choice of four different volume levels of the system’s con­firmation chirps, and when programming it, the buttons can be repeatedly and
sequentially pressed, thus making it easy to hear and choose the setting with the
best chirp volume. This feature operates regardless of how feature #15, “Steady
Siren” or “Pulsed Horn” is set.

Feature #11 Alarm Duration

Factory Default Setting 30 Seconds

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
60 Seconds (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
90 Seconds (press “II” button to program)

120 Seconds (press “III” button to program)

This feature allows four choices of the Alarm Duration, which is the period of time
for which the system sounding the siren (and/or horn, optionally) and flashes the
parking lights when it is triggered. Caution: Before lengthening the Alarm

Duration you should always check and determine if there are any local anti­noise or nuisance ordinances to avoid the possibility of the system user receiving
a violation citation.

White Wire - (Positive Flashing Light Output): This is a Positive

12 Volt output to flash the vehicle's parking lights for visual arming confirmation,
to illuminate them for disarming confirmation, to confirm remote starting, and to
attract attention while the system is activated.

CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle's Positive 12 Volt parking

light circuit, which can usually be found at the following locations: at the headlight
switch, at the fuse/junction block, or in the rear body harness in the driver kick panel.
Some vehicles have a parking light relay which is triggered by a Negative Ground
circuit from the headlight switch; for these vehicles, simply find the Positive output
side of the stock relay for a direct connection; or, instead of this White wire use the
Yellow/Red wire programmable output in its “parking light” setting.

The correct wire will show Positive 12 Volts when the headlight switch is in the
"Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions. When such a wire is located, also test
to ensure that it is non-rheostated: meter the wire operate the dash light dimmer
control; the correct wire will show no voltage change when the dimmer is operated.

Another cautionary note is that the halogen headlights found in modern vehicles
are not designed to be rapidly turned on and off, and if connected to the security
system, a reduction of their useful life may be occur. If flashing the headlights is
still desired, a relay

must be used, since the headlight's current draw exceeds the 10
amp rating of the built-in relay. If flashing headlights and parking lights are desired,
use two relays - configure one relay to supply the parking lights and the other relay
to supply the headlights.

Page - 10

Do not connect the White wire to a rheostated (dimmer) circuit!

This will backfeed the parking lights through the rheostat or illumination
control module, and possibly cause damage to the vehicle or security
system control unit. Flashing the headlights is not recommended.

Recommended Connection Points For The White Wire

Excalibur

Control
Module

Violet Wire - (Positive Door Trigger): The Violet wire is identical to

the Green Door Trigger wire, with the sole exception that it is an open door input
to the control module for vehicles having Positive 12 volt door pin switches.

Green Wire - (Negative Door Trigger): The Green wire is an "open

door" input to the control module for vehicles having Negative switching door pin
switches. This wire is most commonly connected to the vehicle interior light
system.

CONNECTION: Connect the Green wire to a wire in the vehicle that is

common to all the door pin switches; the correct wire in this type of interior or dome
light/door jamb pin switch system will have no voltage present and will also show
chassis ground when the doors are opened, and up to 12 volts when the doors are
closed.

time that the ignition switch is turned on. An exception to this would be if feature
#8 is turned on, and a door being open when the ignition switch is turned on. The
following feature #7 controls the automatic unlocking operations, and feature #8
provides for an override of this automatic locking if a door is open when the ignition
is turned on.

Feature #8 Open Door Bypass of Ignition Locking

Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This feature cancels the automatic locking or unlocking of the vehicle’s doors
should one of the doors be open when the ignition switch is turned on or off.

Feature #7 Doors Unlock With Ignition Off

Factory Default Setting On (all doors will unlock)*

(press “III” button to program)

Options:
Off (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Driver’s Door Only* (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
All Doors Except Driver’s Door* (press “II” button to program)

Similar to the previous locking feature, except this feature controls the unlock
operations when the ignition is turned off, and it has more options because of the
multiple unlocking outputs of the DLS port.

*Multiple unlock outputs offer the capability of unlocking only the driver’s

door when the system is disarmed (Driver Door Priority Unlocking), and then the
option of unlocking all doors with a second press of the “disarm/unlock” button.

The driver’s door unlocking differently from the other doors must be config­ured when the system is installed!

If the system is installed without the Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking interface,
this feature unlocks all of the doors when the ignition switch is turned off.
If Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking is installed, this feature can control only the
driver’s door unlocking when the ignition is turned, all doors unlocking, or all doors
except the driver’s. The following feature provides for an override of this automatic
unlocking if a door is open when the ignition is turned off.

Feature #9 Confirmation Chirps

Factory Default Setting On

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Chirps Excepting Valet Mode (press “II” button to program)
Chirps in Valet Mode Only (press “III” button to program)

This feature removes the system’s 1 arming and 2 disarming confirmation chirps.

Page - 26

Feature #3 Automatic Rearming

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)

“Automatic Rearming” prevents the system from becoming accidentally disarmed
by having it arm itself after being disarmed, if a door is not then opened or the
ignition turned on. Options are to have Automatic Rearming operate with or without
also locking the doors when the system does rearm.

Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions

Factory Default Setting On

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Automatic (press “II” button to program)

This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its default
setting, “On”, the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever the alarm is armed.

The “Automatic” option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to automati-

cally engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and also 90 sec-
onds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement will occur even if the
security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in Valet Mode. Once the
Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must be armed, then disarmed with
the controller or transmitter, or placed into the Valet Mode by pressing and holding
the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it. There are no Status Light indica­tions with this automatic form of Starter Interrupt.

Programming this feature “Off” completely eliminates the Starter Interrupt

output, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.

Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by simply
turning the ignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s activation. After
10 seconds, the Emergency Override must be performed or the controller or trans­mitter “disarm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the system.

The correct wire for a Positive switching type of dome light/door jamb pin
switch system will have 12 volts present when the doors are opened, and chassis
ground when the doors are closed.

CONNECTION: Connect the Violet wire to a wire in the vehicle that is
common to all the door pin switches; the correct wire for this type of dome light/door
jamb pin switch system will have 12 volts present when the doors are opened, and
chassis ground when the doors are closed.

Notes and Tips, both types of Interior Light or Door Trigger
circuits: The correct wire will show this change when

any of the doors are
opened. If the vehicle has delay-off or “fade away” interior lights, remember
to take this into account when testing the wire. If the pin switch is mounted in
the metal structure of the vehicle, and the interior lighting goes out when the
switch is removed, suspect a grounding switch-type lighting system.

Switches controlling interior lighting may be found in several locations­the front or rear door jamb area, as the traditional “pin switch” or sliding
switch; or as switches inside the doors, either connected to the exterior door
handles or to the latching mechanism. A vehicle which has the interior lights
illuminating when the outside door handle is lifted is an example of this type
of switching system.

Also be aware of vehicles which diode-isolate each door. Typically, this
is usually encountered with dash displays that indicate individual doors being
ajar. The proper wire to connect to in this type of system is the common wire
which is routed directly to an interior light that illuminates when any door is
opened.

Green/Violet - (Domelight Supervision Output) &
Black/Red - (Domelight Supervision Input) Wires:

Domelight Supervision offers an additional safety and security feature- upon
disarming the system the interior lights will turn on to illuminate the interior. The
Green/Violet wire is the output to turn on the lights, and the Black/Red wire is
input, connected to Positive or Negative polarity which is needed for operating the
interior light.

For reference, see the diagrams on the previous page 11 showing the basic
differences between Negative and Positive interior light circuits.

CONNECTION GREEN/VIOLET: The proper vehicle wire to connect the
Green/Violet wire to, the dome light activation wire, is common to all the door pin
switches. The correct wire will change polarity as the doors are opened and closed.

The dome light activation wire in the vehicle is typically the same wire that the

Feature #2 Last Door Arming

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)

“Last Door Arming” has the system automatically arm itself every time the operator
exits the vehicle and closes the door. This feature turns that operation on or off, and
with options of having Last Door Arming operate with or without also locking the
doors when the system does arm.

SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows the user to custom select the
number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1 press”, which
would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. If any of the three
anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would also be
required to turn the alarm off once it is fully activated. The SecureCode operation
is described in detail the Operations Guide.

Page - 24

Green or Violet wire is connected to, for the door trigger.

If the vehicle uses a Negative switching interior light system, the activation wire

will have no voltage present and show chassis ground when the doors are opened,
and up to 12 volts when the doors are closed. The correct wire for a Positive
switching type of interior light/door jamb pin switch system will have 12 volts
present when the doors are opened, and chassis ground when the doors are closed.
The correct wire will show these changes when any of the doors are opened. If the
vehicle has delay dome lights, remember to take this into account when testing.

CONNECTION BLACK/RED: The polarity of the dome light supervision

output must be selected by the connection of the Black/Red wire as Positive or
Negative. Connection of the Green/Violet should have determined which polarity
the vehicle uses to operate the dome light; this is either "Negative switching" or
"Positive switching" (see the diagrams on page 11). Once “Positive switching” or
“Negative switching” has been determined, connect the Black/Red wire to Negative
(for “Negative switching” interior lights) or to Positive (for “Positive switching”
interior lights).

Blue Wire - (Negative Instant Trigger): The Blue wire is a Negative

instant trigger used to detect entry into the hood or trunk area of a vehicle.

CONNECTION: The included pin switches may be installed to provide this
trigger circuit; or, if there are existing switches the Blue wire may be connected
directly, provided this is a negative ground switching circuit (examples: an OEM
antitheft hood switch, or in the case of the trunk or hatch a light in the luggage
compartment or a "Trunk Ajar" light in the dash).

An indication of such a circuit is the wire having no voltage present when the
hood or trunk is open, and up to 12 volts when the hood or trunk is closed. This wire

may be used with a mercury type of tilt switch, by itself, but it cannot be used with
existing hood or trunk lights which have an internal mercury switch. If the vehicle
is equipped with a usable trunk or hood circuit, locate the proper wire and splice the
Blue wire directly to the vehicle's wire. If not, then you can install a pin or mercury
switch and carefully adjust and test it.

Multiple use of the Blue wire: When wiring more than one of the vehicle's

circuits and/or additional circuits to this wire, diode-isolation is usually required to
maintain each circuit's proper independent operation. An example would be wiring
a hood pin switch and trunk light switch together. Without isolating, the trunk light
will illuminate whenever the hood is raised. Also, diode-isolation is necessary when
combining electronic sensors together, or when adding a sensor in the same circuit
as the pin switches.

Omega data bus interface modules, and remote start bypass modules, are
available as analog-operated, and as direct data-to-data (D2D) devices. The former
may be operated by connection to the DLS port. The later are the Omega IntelliKit
data bus interface modules and bypass kits, which simply plug into this Green port.
Either type of Omega accessory module includes its own vehicle-specific instructions.
Please refer to the Omega website, www.caralarm.com, for the latest vehicle­specific application guide. Although other brands of data bus modules may

physically plug into the Excalibur’s data port, only genuine Omega IntelliKit
and OmegaLink modules offer the highest consistent quality and dependable
operation. Always choose Omega databus products for use with this port.

Data Port

(Green 4-Pin Port)

(-) Light Flash/Horn Honk, Options Port

(Orange 2-Pin Connector)

This Orange 2-pin port has a pair of outputs, (-) Parking Light Flash and Horn
Honk, which are also programmable for several other functions (see Features #23
and #24). These are 250mA (-) Negative outputs. If needed, Use a relay to increase
these outputs or reverse their polarity; see the Relay Diagram on page 34.

Mounting The System Transceiver

(AL-1510-EDP)

The AL-1510-EDP two-way system has a remotely-mounted transceiver sec­tion for superior range. The transceiver unit may be mounted directly to an inte­rior glass by utilizing the attached adhesive pad (clean and prepare the glass before
adhering). The best operating range performance is obtained by mounting the
transceiver placed as high as possible in the vehicle. Avoid mounting this unit
close to metal parts or structure of the vehicle.

Coaxial Antenna

(AL-1010-EDP)

The AL-1010-EDP has a coaxial antenna lead instead of the AL-1510-EDP’s
window-mounted transceiver. For the AL-1010-EDP, unbind this coaxial cable,
and route the exposed inner end high in the dash or behind pillar trim for the best
operating range. Do not place the exposed end too close to metal structural parts
of the vehicle.

The AL-1010-EDP can be upgraded to be a two-way system, in essence mak­ing it identical to the AL-1510-EDP, by the addition of an optional Echo 2-way kit.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the output capacities of either wire­both outputs are rated at (-) Negative 250mA.

Pink Wire - (Negative 3rd Channel or Option Output): The 3rd

Channel Pink wire is an optional output similar to the 2nd Channel Gray trunk or
hatch release wire; however, this output is not capable of disarming the system when
it is used and therefore has no audible or visual confirmation.

ENHANCED 3rd CHANNEL OPERATION:

Most Omega keyless entry/ alarm systems have a unique operation that
automatically bypasses the sensor ports, ACC input (yellow wire), and starter
interrupt in remote start applications. When 3rd channel is activated, the system
looks for the vehicle’s ignition to turn on via the YELLOW wire on the main 5 pin
harness. If the ignition turns on within 10 seconds of activating the 3rd channel
output, the system will consider this a remote start operation and automatically
bypass the sensor port, ACC input, and turn off the starter interrupt to allow for
proper remote start operation. In case of the AL-1510-EDP or AL-1010-EDP w/
ECHO 2-way, the hand held controller will even indicate a remote start operation
by showing smoke from the vehicle’s tailpipe. Also, if using the D2D port and

doorlock interface module on a vehicle with OEM remote start, this alarm
system is capable of activating the OEM remote start. These functions are

automatic and do not require any programming.

CONNECTION: For some applications an optional relay will be needed;
typical connection is the Pink wire to relay pin #85, and connect Constant Positive
12 Volts to relay pin #86. Connect pin #30 to power, or ground, as needed. Pin #87
is the output, and connected to the target wire. See the Universal Relay Diagram
on page 34.

Accessory Wiring Harness - DLS Port

(Red 4-Pin Connector)

Plug-In DLS Power Doorlock Interface Port: The Red 4 pin port on the

system's control module produces a negative pulse output for locking the doors, a
constant 12 volt pin for the optional relay coils only, a first negative pulse output
for driver door unlock, and a second negative pulse output for unlocking all other
doors. Do not plug the Red doorlock connector into the White sensor port.

3 Wire Negative Pulse Systems are typically indicated by the presence of

three wires at the switch. Of these, one will show constant ground, regardless of
whether the switch is being operated or not (at rest); one will show ground when the
switch is pushed to the "lock" position, and the other wire will show ground when
the switch is pushed to the "unlock" position. With the switch at rest, these two wires
will read voltage, usually 12 volt positive but in some cases less. The wires from the
switches operate doorlock relays or a doorlock control unit with built-in relays;
make the connections between the switches and the relays.

CONNECTION: The included harness (DLP-N4) can allow direct connection

between the security system and a 3-Wire Negative Pulse system. If more than the
500mA Ground output that the security module can provide is required, use the
optional model DLS and two relays. When driver's door unlock priority is desired,
use the optional DLS-3.

The vast majority of power doorlocks are found as three system types: 3 wire
negative pulse, 3 wire positive pulse and 5 wire reversal, rest at ground. Other power
doorlock systems which may be encountered are the vacuum pump types found in
older Mercedes vehicles and the single wire, dual-voltage which has appeared in
some late model vehicles. The best way to identify a doorlock system is to examine
the doorlock switch's wiring.

Page - 21

The two later wires are both routed to the doorlock actuators and are connected
to either end of the actuator's motor winding. When the switch is pushed to one
position, one of these two wires will have 12 volts. This voltage flows through the
wire to the actuator's motor winding, and since the other wire is still resting at
ground an electrical circuit is completed. When the switch is pushed to the opposite
position the electrical flow is reversed.

Once determined, the correct wires must be cut. Notice in the diagram that the
driver's switch is the primary switch and referred to as the "switch" wires. The wires
that go to the secondary switch are referred to as the "motor" wires. Even though
the cut is made between the switches, the two sides are still correctly called the
"switch" and the "motor" sides, with consideration of "Primary" and "Secondary"
switch.

Both Excalibur models feature backup battery capability. Included with each is
a slide-on clip mounting bracket and a snap-cap wiring harness for an optional
alkaline 9 volt battery. If the alkaline 9-volt battery is used, it should be replaced
with a fresh battery about every year for best system backup performance.

Also available is an optional rechargeable battery pack, which if used would be
a permanent backup power supply, not requiring occasional replacement.

Backup Battery Port, Harness and Bracket

(White 2-Pin Connector)

To add the backup battery feature:

1) Assemble the backup pack (instructions are with the bracket and harness)

with an optional alkaline 9-volt battery, slide the assembly onto the alarm
control module, and then plug the 2-pin wiring harness into the White 2-pin
port on the module.

OR

2) Or if the optional rechargeable pack is chosen (part no. BATP ACK-R), it is

pre-assembled and be attached to the alarm control module in the same
fashion, by sliding it onto the control module. Insert the battery pack’s 2­pin plug into the alarm’s White backup battery port, and connect its remain­ing single Red wire directly to Constant (+) Positive 12 volts.

Install the included impact sensor according to the instruction sheet included
with it, and then plug its wiring harness into the alarm control module’s White 4­pin port (be cautious to not plug the White sensor connector into the Red DLS
doorlock output port).

5 Wire Reversal Rest At Ground Systems differ from the Negative and

Positive Pulse systems as there are no relays or doorlock control unit. In this type
of system, the switches themselves supply the positive voltage directly to the
doorlock actuators, and, more importantly, provide the return ground path. The
important thing to remember is the wires in this system rest at ground, which means
that the wires must be "opened", or cut, to make the connections.

Examine the wires on the back of the switch. Normally five wires will be found­one will be constant 12 volts positive, regardless of the switch's position; two wires
will be grounded regardless of the switch's position. Of the two remaining wires,
one will show 12 volts positive when the switch is pushed to "lock", and the other
will show 12 volts positive when the switch is pushed to "unlock".

Cutting only one of two wires can cause
misleading test results. For example, if
only the “lock” wire is cut, the “switch”
side of the cut will show (+)12 Volts when
the primary switch is pushed to the "lock"
position and the “motor” side of the cut

3 Wire Positive Pulse Systems are very similar to the Three Wire Negative

Pulse system except the vehicle's doorlock switches use 12 volt positive pulses to
operate the vehicle's doorlock relays or control unit. Examine the three wires on the
back of the switch; if more than three, suspect a 5 Wire Reversal system. One will
be constant 12 volt positive, regardless of the switch's position. Of the two
remaining wires, one will show Positive when the switch is pushed to "lock", and
the other will show Positive when the switch is pushed to "unlock".

CONNECTION: Several options are available for connecting to 3 Wire

Positive Pulse doorlocking systems- the DLP-P3 polarity reversal interface, the
DLS and two relays or the DLR-C or DLR-U. If driver's door unlock priority is
desired, use the optional DLS-3. The following diagrams show how to connect
either of the optional DLP-P3 or the DLS and 2 relay interfaces.
