Note: Features #23 and #24 involve two outputs of the Excalibur control unit
which give the installer greater flexibility. These outputs can be programmed to
perform several different functions. The primary function, or default setting, of
these outputs are designed to control the vehicles parking light circuit and honk
the vehicle’s horn.
But there are also several other functions of these two outputs which may
be programmed to operate, and more importantly, they must be configured by
the installer to perform the desired operations.
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.
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.

Introduction to the System
Congratulations for your choice of a new Excalibur vehicle security and
convenience system by Omega Research and Development. You will find that your
new system will give you years of trouble-free convenience and protection. To
enjoy the most from your new system, please take a few moments to learn about the
principal user components, and the basic operation of the system. These subjects
are found in next several pages, followed by more detailed specifics of complete
operations and features.
The Transmitter
The Transmitter operates the system. It has four buttons, and a small green
light between the two large buttons, which illuminates whenever a button is pressed
to transmit a command.
“arm/lock”
button
“II” button
“arm/lock”
• Pressing and releasing the “arm/lock” button arms the security system and
locks the doors.
• Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will first arm, and then
activate the Panic feature, locking the doors.
“disarm/unlock”
• Pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button disarms the system and
unlocks the doors unless the alarm is triggered, in which case it will disarm the
activated alarm, but not unlock the doors unless the button is pressed again.
• Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will first disarm, and then
activate the Panic feature, unlocking the doors.
• The unlock operation may be optionally configured during the system’s
installation so that pressing this button once disarms the system and unlocks
only the driver's door, and pressing a second time unlocks all of the doors.
“disarm/unlock”
button
“III” button
The final 3 Programmable Features are for the installer’s use.
These features are described to explain their function; as these
features are dependent upon the installation configuration within the
vehicle, they should not be changed except by the original dealer or
qualified installer.
Feature #22 Doorlocking Functions (installer feature)
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, typically cars having
pneumatic doorlocking systems, although the longer setting is also more
suitable in some newer-model 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 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.
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
pressing the “arm/lock” OR the “disarm/unlock” button. Only the output
itself will stop- pressing either button again will normally operate the sys-
tem, and at any time after the 28 second lock output period ends.
The following two features, when they are set for factory alarm “arm” or “disarm” output operation, will follow the setting of this feature.

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. The AntiCarjacking protection, including the three ways to initiate it are described on page
17.
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. The AntiCarjacking protection, including the three ways to initiate it are described on page
17.
“II”
• Pressing the “
II” button for two seconds can be used to activate an extra output,
known as the “2nd channel”, for an optional function such as trunk release.
• Pressing and releasing this button twice arms or disarms the system without the
confirmation chirps.
• Pressing this button immediately after arming will leave the alarm armed, but
with the shock sensor feature bypassed.
“III”
• Pressing and releasing the “
III” button 2 times in 5 seconds will activate the
3rd channel output. This will also activate a factory remote start if your vehicle
is equipped and the AL-1510-EDP is configured to do so.
• The “III” button can be reprogrammed for additonal operations. See programmable
feature #21.
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 transmitter, the siren will chirp 3 times and the parking
lights will flash 3 times instead of once.
Feature #21 “III” Button Operation
Factory Default Setting 3rd Channel
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
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. This feature allows changing it to instead operate the panic function or either
of the two other optional channel outputs. Panic can always be operated, by the
alternative methods of pressing either the “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button
for 3 seconds. This feature can also assign the 4th and 5th channels to the “III” button,
in the same manner as the 3rd channel.

The Status Light
The Status Light shows the armed / disarmed / Valet Mode status of the
security system at all times, and it also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and
theft. Should the security system trigger, sounding an alarm and flashing the lights,
it will indicate which protected zone was violated. The Status Light will also show
the number of operating transmitters every time the ignition key is turned on.
The Valet Switch
The Valet Switch is a small push-button, and it has three main functions:
1- The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security operation of the system,
including the Last Door Arming feature (if used). This is “placing the system
into Valet Mode”.
2- The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s ignition
key, to disarm the security system in the event the transmitter is lost or becomes
inoperable. This is “performing an Emergency Override”.
3- The Valet Switch is used in the procedures for programming operational
features and also for programming transmitters to operate the system.
- IMPORTANT -
The Excalibur AL-1010-EDP is one of the most versatile vehicle
security systems made. It has many programmable features which
can offer more functions and operations which are described in the
basic system instructions.
To a large degree, these extra features and operations are config-
