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.

For remote starting operation, the Excalibur AL-1610-EDP duplicates, with
on-board microprocessor control circuitry and relays, the same actions that occur
within the ignition switch as when the key is used to start the engine. Because of
this, most of the main wiring harness connections will be made at the ignition

Please carefully read these instructions before
starting the installation of the Excalibur AL­1610-EDP. 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 Manual.

The remote engine starting feature should not
be used when the vehicle is parked in an en­closed structure or garage!

If this unit is installed on a manual transmission
vehicles, the installation instructions and oper­ating procedure MUST be followed as described.

The included hood pin switch MUST be installed.

Programming Features

•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 switch 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.

5 times for User Programming (Red Status Light)

OR

10 times for Installer Programming (Green Status Light)

Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switchch either:

Step 2 Turn the ignition off.

Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.

Access a Feature:

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

ber of times as the desired feature’s number.

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

Change the Feature:

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

Release the appropriate 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.

To Access and Change further 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 transmitter as described in

Step 5 to change the newly accessed feature as desired.

switch harness. This will be located around the steering column area.

The ignition switch wires typically are high amperage circuits, which means that
high reliability connections must be made! Proper soldering of all connections is
recommended.

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.

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

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

must be mounted external to the vehicle, but not vulnerable. The engine compart­ment typically offers the best mounting location opportunities. See page 12 for
specific mounting and connection details.

The Status Light and Valet Switch are contained within the receiver

unit, and therefore require no special installation considerations. This places the 2­color 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”).
Optional Valet Switch Mounting: Should it be desired, an optional extra Valet
Switch which may substituted for the one built into the transceiver unit, and
mounted in another location.

Mounting The System Transceiver: The AL-1610-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, with the smaller rod-like end pointed upwards. Avoid mount­ing this unit close to metal parts or structure of the vehicle.

Optional Vehicle Horn Connection: The Excalibur AL-1610-EDP has a
programmable onboard output which allows the vehicle’s existing horn to used in

Feature #10 Gasoline Or Diesel Engine

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

This feature changes the system's timing of the ignition and starter output sequence
for remotely starting vehicles with a diesel engine. This feature should only be
programmed by the installer.

Feature #8 Programmable Remote Start Relay

Factory Default Setting Ignition Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Accessory Output (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Starter Output (press “II” button to program)

The Excalibur AL-1610-EDP features 4 dedicated remote start output relays, one
of which is programmable (this is the unit’s large pink/white output wire).
Operation choices are ignition, accessory or starter power output. This feature
should only be programmed by the installer.

Feature #9 Arm, Disarm or Additional Channels

Factory Default Setting Arm / Disarm

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

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

The AL-1610-EDP has outputs designed for arming and/or disarming a factory­equipped security system. These wires may be used instead to provide further
system outputs, which are remotely operated by the transmitter. These outputs are
in addition to the 2nd channel and 3rd channel outputs, the operation of all of these
outputs is explained on page 20, and in the Operation Guide.

As shown in the programming assignment, the arm, disarm, channel 4 and
channel 5 are programmable as various combinations. For example, if the disarm
output is needed, but not the arm output, then channel 4 may be made available for
use.

Time can be used for difficult-to-start engines. This feature should only be
programmed by the installer.
Note: “Base timing” is the maximum time period that the AL-1610-EDP will engage

the starter, but only if it does not detect the engine has started running.

conjunction with, or in place of, the electronic 2-n-1 psycho siren. The connections
for this output is on pages 18 and 19.

Power Doorlock Port: The AL-1610-EDP is equipped with Omega’s

standard means of interfacing with the vehicle’s power door locking system. This
is via the Omega “DLS” port, which can accept all Omega analog doorlocking
accessories (dual, triple relay sockets, or the modular clip-on add-on relay packs)
and direct-wire basic 3-wire Negative pulse doorlocking systems. All Omega
doorlocking data bus module accessories can be driven by either this port, as well
as D2D via the Data Port.

The DLS port offers two unlocking outputs, so that driver’s door priority

unlocking can be configured. The internal relay options are lock and unlock only.

Remote Start Relay Capability & Satellite Port: The AL-1610-

EDP features 4 dedicated, built-in high-amperage relays; one of these is even
programmable. And there are two further forms of additional remote starting output
capability- a plug-in port for optional outboard relays (start and ignition operation);
and. See page 28 for specifics.

Auxiliary Sensor Port: The AL-1610-EDP has a port, for easy plug-in

of the included impact sensor. The port is dual-zoned: the first zone will respond
by chirping the siren only; and the second zone will fully trigger the system. The
included dual-zone impact sensor is packaged with its own instruction sheet, as are
all optional Omega sensors which can be added. The optional plug-in accessory,
AU-EXP, can be used to add 2 more auxiliary sensor ports.

Data Port for OmegaLink & IntelliKit Modules & Bypasses:

Omega’s 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 remote starting. Omega
offers the industry’s most comprehensive line of these products (go to
www.caralarm.com for latest application guide), and each includes its own vehicle­specific instructions.

Only after this is done will the system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle
must remain undisturbed until that point. See the Operation Guide for complete
instructions for remote starting, including Stick Shift Remote Starting.
This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of
this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s
parking brake. Please refer to the “Black/White wire” on pages 10 and 11 for the
proper connection of this important wire.

Note: Feature #4, Turbo Timer, and Feature #5, Stick Shift Remote Starting, may
both be used together in the AL-1610-EDP.

Feature #7 Extended Starter Cranking Time

Factory Default Setting Minimum (.7 Second)

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Medium Lo (1.25 Second) (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Medium Hi (1.75 Second) (press “II” button to program)
Maximum (2.5 Second) (press “III” button to program)

Extended Starter Cranking Time operates in conjunction with the previous feature’s
“Tachless” setting. The AL-1610-EDP processor is capable of detecting the running
engine by two separate methods- the use of the vehicle’s tachometer (“tach”) wire
for a direct engine RPM input, or by monitoring the vehicle’s fluctuating voltage
levels caused by the starting process. This feature sets the duration of the starter
output’s base timing for the voltage sensing type of starter output operation. There
are four different base starter output settings. While the default-set minimum is
sufficient for most vehicles; the Extended Starter Cranking

Page - 40

Feature #6 “Tach Wire” or “Tachless” Starter Operation

Factory Default Setting Tachless (press “arm/lock” button to program)
Option: Tach Wire (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This feature selects the AL-1610-EDP processor’s method of determining the status
of the engine running during remote start operation. As explained in the previous
feature’s description, “Tachless” mode has an associated base starter output time
duration. However, if the voltage fluctuation is detectable, the processor adjusts the
starter output time accordingly. When this feature is set for “Tach Wire” operation,
the base starter output increases to 3 seconds, but the processor adjusts the actual
starter engagement time accordingly. Connecting and use of the “Tach Wire” is the
most reliable form of engine running information input, and its use is recom­mended. This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Important: Before this feature is programmed, please refer to the “Violet/White
wire” on page 11 for proper wiring connection, and the Tach Learning Procedure
on page 12.

Wiring Connections

Page - 6

Red & Red/White Wires - (Constant Power Input): The Red and

Red/White wires supply constant Positive 12 Volts for the system's operation.
These wires must be supplied sufficient amperage.

CONNECTION: Connect these wires to Positive battery voltage; both wires

must be connected. One source is the battery's Positive terminal, and another
potential source is the power supply wires at the ignition switch.

If the battery is selected as the power source, and the Red and Red/White wires
must extended, the added wire must be at least the same gauge, or preferably
heavier, than the Red and Red/White wires. Carefully route the wires through the
firewall, using an added or existing grommet. Avoid any hot or moving parts.

Some vehicles have a single Constant 12 Volt circuit supplying the ignition
switch, while others have multiple supply circuits. A schematic of the car's
electrical system will show which of these is the case. The Red and Red/White wires
may both be connected to a single supply wire, or distributed between multiple
supply circuits.

In either case, the included fuse holders and 30 amp fuses must be used.
The fuse holders should always be close to the power source connection, not the
control module. Remove the 30 amp fuses before making the holders’ connections,
and only reinsert them after all of the other wiring connections have been made.

Caution! The use of the 30 amp fuses and the fuse holders are required!
Failure to properly install the fuse holder and the 30 amp fuse will void all
warranties.

Main Wiring Harness

(LARGE 6-Wire Connector)

The following sections detail connections for each wire, of

each the 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 pro-

cedure is to make all connections, and only then plug the

individual wiring harness into the system control module.

- NOTE -

Feature #5 Stick Shift Remote Starting

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

This feature changes the parameters of the AL-1610-EDP’s remote start operation
to be suitable for manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a “setup” procedure
which must be followed upon exiting the vehicle. When this feature is turned on,
the operator must set the parking brake and then press the transmitter’s “arm/lock”
and “disarm/unlock” buttons at the same time, which keeps the engine running after
removing the ignition key. After exiting, the user must then arm the system, locking
the vehicle doors, by pressing the “arm/lock” button.

Feature #4 Turbo Timer

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Run 1 Minute (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Run 2 Minutes (press “II” button to program)
Run 3 Minutes (press “III” button to program)

This feature when turned on configures the AL-1610-EDP to automatically keep the
engine running briefly after it is turned off. This operation is designed specifically
for vehicles having turbocharged engines (the user may temporarily bypass the
feature if desired).
This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of
this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s
parking brake. Please refer to the “Black/White wire” on pages 10 and 11 for the
proper connection of this important wire.

Feature #3 Horn Output Functions

Factory Default Setting Horn Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Door Unlock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Ignition Output (press “II” button to program)
Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)

This is the second of two 250mA outputs which can be programmed to perform
several different functions. The primary function of this output, is that it is available
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.

Optionally, this output can be programmed as a 2nd door unlock pulse, or as an

ignition or accessory output, if needed for remote start.

Page - 7

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 Ignition Switch

• 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 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.

Feature #2 Light Output Functions

Factory Default Setting Dome Light Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Door Lock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Ignition Output (press “II” button to program)
Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)

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.

Page - 8

Violet Wire - (Starter Output): When remote starting, this output

supplies 12 Volts Positive to the vehicle's starter circuit. The Violet wire is best
connected when installing the starter interrupt circuit. Its connection point must
be on the starter side of the interrupt relay, not the Ignition Switch side. This is
easily accomplished when installing the starter interrupt by combining the Violet
Starter Output wire with the starter interrupt's White wire and then connecting
both of these wires to the starter side of the cut vehicle wire. This is explained in
further detail on the next page.

CONNECTION: The Violet wire connects to the vehicle's Starter wire, after
the starter interrupt. See pages 9 & 10 for specific instructions. The vehicle
starter wire will show Positive 12 Volts when the ignition key is in the "Start"
position only. This wire is found in the ignition switch wiring harness, and it is
important to make this connection on the ignition switch side of, and not on the
starter side of, the neutral safety switch.

Some vehicles have a second Starter wire known as a "Cold Start" wire. When
this second wire is present, there are several options. If the two Starter wires are
the same circuit, both of them may be connected to the AL-1610-EDP Violet wire.
If the two Starter wires are separate circuits, an additional relay may be config­ured, from the Satellite Relay Port; or the Pink/White ignition output may be re­programmed as a start wire and used.

supply power to the chosen vehicle circuit for the duration of the remote start engine
run period.

CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle's Accessory wire. This
circuit in the vehicle can vary in its function. Typically, its primary function is to
supply power to the Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. The
connection point for this wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness.
In some cases the correct vehicle wire will show Positive 12 Volts in the "Run"
and "Accessory" ignition key positions but in other vehicles it will show the volt­age only in the "Run" ignition key position. This output should not be used if the
vehicle's wire also shows voltage when the ignition key is in the "Start" position.

Pink/White Wire - Programmable Relay Output (default:
Ignition; options: Starter or Accessory): This large Pink/White wire is

the fourth of 4 onboard relays which are dedicated remote starting outputs.
However, this output is different, in that it is programmable, by Installer Feature #8.
This output is factory default-set for Ignition operation, or, it may be reprogrammed
to operate as an Accessory output or as a Start output.

CONNECTION: As needed. If used as its default Ignition setting, connection
is similar to that of the Pink ignition output wire. If it is changed, if set as an
Accessory output connection is similar to the Orange wire; and if set as a Start output
connection is similar to the that of the Violet wire.

The Installer Programmable Features

The second group of features, the Installer Programmable Features, are accessed as
the second level of features’ programming, which is pressing the Valet Switch 10
times instead of 5 times when entering Programming Mode (page 42). Caution:

These features have a critical affect upon the system’s operations, and in many
cases, also upon the system’s wiring connections. These features should
NEVER be changed, except by the installer or other qualified professional.

This booklet should be consulted for the proper wiring connections, as associated
with these programmable features.

Interrupt): The Orange wire is a starter interrupt output, which is active when

the security system is in an armed state, and it is also active during remote start
operation as an anti-starter grind feature (if programmed- see User Feature #3).

CONNECTION: Make the starter interrupt and starter output (thick Violet wire)
connections together- both connections points are

related, as shown below-

Secondary Wiring Harness -

(18-Wire Connector)

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.

Feature #22 Remote Start Run Time

Factory Default Setting 10 Minutes

(press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Options:
5 Minutes (press “arm/lock” button to program)
15 Minutes (press “II” button to program)
20 Minutes (press “III” button to program)

This feature sets the period of time that the engine will run after being remotely
started. If the engine is not stopped by transmitter command or a safety circuit
violation, the engine will automatically stop upon the expiration of the selected time
period. Caution: The remote engine starting feature should NEVER be used

when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage.

Feature #23 Steady/Flashing Lights During Remote Start

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

This Feature configures the system's operation of the vehicle’s parking lights when
the engine is running after it has been remotely started. The factory default setting
has the parking lights illuminating steady during the engine run time; the other
setting flashes the parking lights on and off during the engine run time.

Connect the 18-pin connector’s Orange wire to the Orange wire of the starter
interrupt relay socket. Then make the connections which interrupt the vehicle's
starter circuit- 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. As

mentioned in the previous section, connect both the Starter Output V iolet wire and
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 Yellow or Red tubing or sleeves. Do not
use a standard test light, as it can deploy an airbag or damage
on-board computers and sensors if the wrong circuits are probed.
A Digital Multimeter (DMM) should be used.

Brown/Red Wire - (Positive Brake Input): The Brown/Red wire

must be connected. It is a critical safety feature which disables remote starting
operations whenever the brake pedal is pressed.

CONNECTION: Connect the Brown/Red wire to the brake switch wire that

shows Positive 12 Volts when the brake pedal is pressed. The brake switch is
typically located above the brake pedal, and usually mounted to the brake pedal
support bracket. Always make this connection in a fashion ensuring its long-term
reliability; soldering is highly recommended.

Black/White Wire - (Safety Input): This circuit performs a critical

safety function for remote start operations. It’s connection depends on whether
the vehicle has an automatic or manual transmission, as well as the use of the
Turbo Timer feature and Manual Transmission Remote Starting feature.

AUTO TRANSMISSION CONNECTION: The target wire will show Nega-

Always perform this test before testing the safety input (next section).

Upon completing the installation, always test the Brown/Red wire's op­eration. Attempt to remotely start the vehicle while holding the brake
pedal depressed; the system should respond with one long and four
short chirps. Release the brake pedal and remotely start the engine.
Once running, pressing the brake pedal should stop the engine.

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 output 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 customizing of the horn’s
sound during the alarm activation.

Feature #16 Alarm Functions Bypass

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 AL-1610-EDP has remote keyless entry and engine starting
operation only.

Factory Default Setting Off ( “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 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)

Feature #17 Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection

tive Ground whenever the gear selector is in the "Park" or "Neutral" positions, and
have voltage or be neutral when it is not. The target wire is typically at an electri­cal switch at the shifter base or on its linkage, and once it is located and verified
securely connect the Black/White wire to it.

Some vehicles do not have a grounding-type neutral safety switch, but instead
route the starter circuit through a switch that is closed only when the gear selector
is in the "Park" or "Neutral" positions; in other gear positions the switch is open,
preventing the starter from engaging. In this type of vehicle, the Black/White wire
may be connected to the parking brake warning circuit.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND/OR TURBO TIMER CONNECTION:

The target wire must have Ground when the parking brake is applied, and either
has voltage or is neutral when the parking brake is not applied. This wire is typi­cally at a switch on the base of the parking brake lever, or on the bracket above or
about the parking brake foot pedal. Securely splice the Black/White wire to the
vehicle wire having the described characteristics. Be sure to program as soon

possible the Installer Feature #5 “Manual T ransmission Remote S tarting” and/
or Installer Feature #4 “Turbo Timer”. The AL-1610-EDP will allow these

two features to be used together.

Violet/White Wire - (Tach-Sensing Input): The Violet/White wire

is an engine speed or tachometer sensing wire. The system can use one of two
different methods of monitoring the engine's starting/running status during the
remote starting process- the Violet/White tach wire, and “tachless”, or voltage
sensing. The tach wire is typically more accurate in monitoring the engine status,
and thus its use is recommended. If tach wire sensing is desired, make the proper
wire connection, upon powering the unit and programming features Installer
Feature #6 must be set for “Tach Wire”, and then the tach wire “learn” procedure

Regardless of the type of connection, the vehicle must be tested to
ensure that it cannot be remotely started in forward or reverse gears.

Before returning the vehicle to the owner, place the vehicle in a parking
lot or other open area. Sit in the driver's seat and be ready to apply the
brake. Automatic- Engage the remote starter in each gear position. If
this safety feature is connected properly, remote starting will only be
possible if the gear selector is the "Park" or "Neutral" positions; in all
other positions the system will instead respond with one long and one
short chirp and the starter will not engage. Manual- First program In­staller Feature #5, and then ensure that remote starting will not occur
unless the presetting, exiting, lock the doors with the transmitter opera­tion is done (see Operation Guide for the special procedure).
Never fail to perform this test! If a fault is found in the safety circuit
operation, it must be corrected before returning the vehicle to the owner.

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
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.

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 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 can include 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

Page - 34

must be performed.

CONNECTION: Connect the Violet/White wire to the vehicle's tach wire,

which is typically found in the engine compartment, although in some cases it may
also be located inside the vehicle. Caution! Route this wire carefully to prevent
its possible shorting to ground. To use a multimeter to verify the correct tach wire,
set it for AC Volts scale. The correct wire will read 1 to 6 volts AC with the engine
idling, and the reading will increase when engine speed (RPM) increases.

TACH LEARNING PROCEDURE:

As mentioned, the tach wire method is typi­cally more accurate in monitoring the engine status, and a special “learning procedure”
programs the tach signal to the AL-1610-EDP. The tach learning procedure should
be performed after the installation has been completed, but before activating the
remote start feature. To perform the procedure:

Step 1 Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off”.
Step 2 Within 5 seconds, press the brake pedal 5 times.
Step 3 Start the engine; the siren will chirp to indicate the unit is in tach learning mode.
Step 4 When the Status Light turns Green the tach signal is learned. Turning the

ignition “off” or pressing the brake removes the unit from tach learning mode.

Note: This unit must learn the normal idle RPM. If the engine RPM level is above normal
idle after initially starting, it may be necessary to disconnect the tach wire until after Step
3 AND after the engine has settled at a normal idle (around 700 RPM). Reconnect the tach
wire at this point to ensure ideal tach learning.

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.

Page - 12

HORN CONNECTION: The Excalibur AL-1610-EDP can sound the vehicle’s

existing horn in addition to, or in place of, the electronic siren. Sounding the horn
is accomplished by one of the programmable outputs; see pages 18 and 19.

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.
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 also 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.

Page - 33

Feature #10 Confirmation Chirp Volume

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. The AL-1610-EDP also has a

Negative version of this wire- see the following White/Black wire description.

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, use the White/Black
Negative Flashing Parking Light output wire instead..

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.

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.

Feature #6 Doors Lock With Ignition On

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

This feature configures the system to automatically lock the vehicle’s doors every
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)

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
AL-1610-EDP’s multiple unlocking outputs.

*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

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 Alarm Only

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:
Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
Automatic (press “II” button to program)
Alarm & Anti-Grind (press “III” button to program)

This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its default
setting, “Alarm Only”, the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever the alarm is armed.
The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the accidental grinding of the
starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is already running by remote starting
(as when the ignition key is turned to “run” to drive the vehicle).

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 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 out-

put, 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 transmitter “dis-
arm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the system.

Gray Wire - Negative Instant Trigger: The Gray wire is a Negative

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

The Gray wire is also an important safety circuit for remote starting operations
so installation of a hood pin switch is required.

CONNECTION: The included pin switch may be installed to provide this

trigger circuit; or, if there are existing switches the Gray 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 continuity to ground 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
Gray wire directly to the vehicle's wire. If not, then you must install a pin or mercury
switch, for open hood safety, and carefully adjust and test it.

Multiple use of the Gray 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 turn 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.

“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 you 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 it off once it is fully activated. The SecureCode operation is
described in the Operations Guide.

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.

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.

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

“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 Red/
White 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 Red/White 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.

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.

Remote Start Satellite Relay Port: This port provides for even more

Ignition and Starter outputs, for remote starting use. These outputs are Negative
250mA, and the second pin is +12 Volts for the optional relay coils. A short non­terminated harness is included, to access the port, and available as an optional
service part is a socket and two relays (part # RS-RP) that converts these outputs into
high-amperage Positive voltage. Omega plug-in OEM antitheft bypasses can also
utilize the Red port. The pin-outs of the port is shown with the RS-RP wiring.

Install the included impact sensor according to the instruction sheet included
with it, and then plug its wiring harness into this port. The AU-EXP optional plug­in accessory will allow the addition of 2 more sensors if required.

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 AL-1610-EDP’s DLS port, or to its Satellite Relay
Ports. The later are the Omega IntelliKit data bus interface modules and bypass kits,
which simply plug into this Orange 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 vehicle-specific application guide. Although

other brands of data bus modules may physically plug into the AL-1610-EDP
data port, only genuine Omega IntelliKit modules offer the highest consistent
quality and dependable operation. Always choose Omega databus product for

use with this port.

Configuring An Optional Relay: The Blue/Black Horn output wire has a

250mA capacity , which, if exceeded, can damage the security system control mod­ule. In certain situations, such as a vehicle which lacks a horn relay or installing
multiple optional sirens, an optional SPDT relay is required. The diagram on the
following page shows how to configure the relay.

Blue/Black Wire - (Horn Honk Output; Programmable for

Unlock, Ignition, or Accessory): The Blue/Black wire is a Negative out-

put (at 250mA) for the system's audible output, and is defaulted to operate the
vehicle's existing horn. Installer Feature #3 can be used to change this output’s
operation. When used as a horn output, user feature #10 offers four settings for
adjusting the horn's confirmation chirps.

CAUTION! Avoid the airbag circuit! This is one of the few legitimate uses for
a standard test light in a modern vehicle; use a digital multimeter (DMM) to
identify the horn wire first.

Probing an airbag circuit with a standard test light can cause the Airbag to

deploy!

Horn CONNECTION: The Blue/Black wire may be connected directly to the

vehicle's horn switch wire, provided the circuit operates with 250mA of current or
less. The horn wire is typically found around the steering column; the correct wire
will show Positive 12 Volts normally, and continuity to ground when the horn is
being sounded. Once the vehicle's horn wire is identified using a digital multi­meter, you can probe the wire with a standard test light connected to Negative
chassis ground. If the horn sounds when probed, a direct connection may be made.
If not, use the diagram on the following page to configure an optional relay.

The horn chirp volume may set at one of four levels. When programming
user feature #10, press the remote transmitter's UNLOCK button for Softest
chirps, press the LOCK button for Medium Soft chirps, press the “||” button
for Medium Loud chirps, or press the “|||” button for the Loudest chirps.

Another alternative is to disconnect the horns, then operate the horn switch.
Typically, a "clicking" sound from the vehicle can heard as the horn button is
pressed, and released, which confirms the presence of an existing horn relay. Yet
another alternative is to consult a wiring schematic of the vehicle in question to
determine if an existing horn relay is present.

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".

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 following 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.

Green/Violet Wire - (Dome Light Output; Programmable for

Lock, Ignition, or Accessory): The Green/Violet wire is defaulted for

domelight supervision, which illuminates the interior lights of the vehicle upon
disarming. It has a 250mA maximum current output.

CONNECTION: The proper vehicle wire to connect the Green/V iolet wire to,
the dome light activation wire, will be any of the door pin switch circuits that turns
the dome light on. The correct wire will change polarity as the door is opened and
closed. If the vehicle uses a Negative switching domelight system, the activation
wire will have no voltage present and show chassis ground when a door is opened,
and up to 12 volts when the doors are closed. The correct wire will show this
change when any of the doors are opened. If it is a Positive switching system, the
above is reversed. If the vehicle has delay domelights, take this into account when
testing. Since the Blue/Black wire provides up to 250mA of current, it can typi­cally be connected to a pin switch circuit that is triggering a relay or lighting
control module. IT CANNOT BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE
INTERIOR LIGHTS. If the door pin switch directly feeds the light, an optional
relay is required. In this case, or if the circuit is positive switching, use the follow­ing relay diagram.

Auxiliary Wiring Harness -

(SMALL 6-Pin Connector)

Lt. Green/Black Wire - (Factory Disarm Output): The Lt. Green/

Black wire produces a Negative pulse output whenever the AL-1610-EDP is
disarmed or remotely starts the engine. This output may be used to disarm a factory­installed alarm, if the vehicle is so equipped.

CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle's factory disarm wire. Most

commonly, the desired wire will show Negative polarity when a key is held in the
"unlock" position in the door key cylinder. This wire can usually be located in
either kick panel, in the wiring harness from the door, as it is routed between the
door key cylinder and the factory alarm.

Lt. Green/Red Wire - (Factory Arm Output): The Lt. Green/Red

wire produces a Negative pulse output whenever the system turns off the engine
after it has been remotely started. This output may be used to arm a factory-installed
alarm, or, if the vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory Power circuit, this
output can be used to “spike” the door pin switch wire, which will turn off the
Retained Accessory Power circuit.

CONNECTION: To arm a factory alarm after remote start engine run stops,

connect the Yellow/Red wire to the vehicle's factory arm wire. This wire will
show Negative polarity when a key is held in the "lock" position in the door key
cylinder. This wire can usually be located in either kick
panel, in the wiring harness from the door, as it is routed between the door key
cylinder and the factory alarm.

To use this wire to turn off Retained Accessory Power, locate a vehicle wire
within the door or doorjamb which shows Negative when the door is open. Should
such a wire be found which is positive, a relay is needed to reverse the Yellow/Red
wire’s Negative output to Positive.

OPTION Lt. Green/Black Wire - (Remote 4th Channel

Output): Installer Programmable Feature #9 can change this wire to operate as an

additional remote channel output. The output obtained by this option is Negative,
250mA, and is operable by pressing and holding the transmitter “arm/lock” and
“II” buttons together. The AL-1610-EDP already has a 2nd channel (which can
disarm the alarm) and a 3rd channel output; this and the 5th channel outputs’ options
offer expanded versatility for complex or esoteric applications.

CONNECTION: Connect the Lt. Green/Black wire as a 4th channel as
desired.

OPTION Lt. Green/Red Wire - (Remote 5th Channel Output):

Installer Programmable Feature #9 can also change the Lt. Green/Red wire to
operate as an additional remote channel output. Th 5th Channel output is again

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 DLS-C, and the internal programmable relays (see pages 18
& 19). 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.

White Wire - (Negative Arm Input) &
Brown Wire (Negative Disarm Input): The White and Brown wires will

respectively arm and disarm the AL-1610-EDP when they receive Negative pulses.
These wires may be used to easily connect the AL-1610-EDP

to another device,

such as the Omega vehicle tracking system.

CONNECTION: T o have another device arm and/or disarm the AL-1610-EDP ,

the companion device must have available momentary Negative outputs. As an
example, connecting the AL-1610-EDP to the Omega tracking system’s doorlock
output wires would have the tracking unit arm and disarm the alarm system, which
in turn would operate the vehicle doorlocks. Similarly, the Pink/Black wiring
connection described above would have the companion device activate the AL­1610-EDP’s remote starting operation.

White/Blue Wire - (Remote Start External Activation Input): If the

White/Blue wire receives a Negative pulse the remote start operation will be
activated. Even if this wire is used to activate remote starting, the transmitter or
transceiver’s normal button assignment will also operate remote starting.

CONNECTION: Connect the White/Blue wire directly any output which gives

a Negative pulse. If using the AL-1610-EDP with another device such as an Omega
telematics tracking system, connect the White/Blue wire to the device’ s accessory
output wire.

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.

CONNECTION: For most 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.

Negative, 250mA, and is operable by pressing and holding the transmitter “disarm/
unlock” and “III” buttons together. The AL-1610-EDP as mentioned has an optional
4th channel output, in addition to the standard 2nd channel (for trunk or hatch release)
and a 3rd channel remote output.

CONNECTION: Connect the Lt. Green/Red wire as a 5th channel as desired.

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.

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.

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 AL-1610-EDP 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 AL-1610-EDP has great installation flexibility when interfacing it
to the vehicle’s power doorlocking system.

This Red DLS port can be directly connected to 3 Wire Negative
doorlocking systems, or optional interfaces such as the DLS and 2
relays, DLR-C , or others will be needed for other types of power
doorlocking systems. Omega also offers other specialty doorlocking
interfaces; all include their own detailed instructions.

This section describes the Red DLS port, and doorlock connections
with the included harness and optional interfaces.
