Introduction to the System

Congratulations for choosing one of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle
security and convenience systems available today, the Excalibur AL-1810-EDP by
Omega Research and Development. 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.

One of the components, typically mounted on the windshield, is the Window Unit
module which contains the Status Lights and the Valet Switch. The window
unit also receives and transmits the Echo technology
communications for the system’s 2-way operation.

The multicolored Status Lights report the operational
status of the system at all times, and also serves as a visual
deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific description of the
Status Light operation may be found on pages 20-21.

The Valet Switch has three main functions:

• The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security
functions, including any automatic arming or locking
features (if used), and/or remote engine starting
functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet
Mode”; the later is “Starting Valet Mode” .

• The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with
the vehicle’s ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security
system in the event the transmitter or transceiver is lost or becomes inoperable.
This is referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.

• The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational
features and also for encoding transmitters and transceivers to the system.

A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages 17-19.

The system can operated by two types of devices: the 2-Way Controller and the
1-Way Transmitter. Your system comes with one of each of these, pre-learned
to operate the system. The controller, in addition to operating your system, also
receives signals from the system, and displays a variety of system conditions on its
LCD screen. This is the patented Echo 2-way technology. The transmitter will fully
operate the system, but it can not receive signals nor report events from the vehicle.
Your system can be operated by as many as four controllers and/or transmitters.

The controller and the transmitter both share the same four operational buttons, and
their use to operate the Excalibur system is the same. These buttons and a brief
description of what they do are:

this is done will the system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle must
remain undisturbed until that point. The complete instructions for remote starting,
including Stick Shift Remote Starting, starts on page 40.
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 Installation Instructions manual for proper
connection of this wire.

Note: Feature #4, Turbo Timer, and Feature #5, Stick Shift Remote Starting, may
both be used together in the AL-1810-EDP.

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-1810-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 “Installation
Manual” for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learning Procedure, both of
which are required for use of this feature.

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-1810-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 - 41

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 multi-use 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 with unique theft deterrence capabilities.

Optionally, if desired or needed, this output can be programmed to be door

unlock, or as additional ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting
use.

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, the operation of which is described on page 16, when turned on
configures the AL-1810-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 Installation Instructions manual for proper
connection of this wire.

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-1810-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 controller or 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. Only after

• The controller has a fifth button, “P”, which will illuminate the LCD screen
when pressed. This is also the “Programming” button; it is used to customize
controller operations, which is explained on pages 22-24.

- IMPORTANT -

The AL-1810-EDP is one of the most versatile vehicle security/
convenience systems made. It has many programmable features
and includes built-in programmable relays, which can offer more
features and operations which are described in the basic system
instructions.
To a large degree, these extra features and operations are config­ured at the installation of the system. Please read the sections of
this manual which explain programmable features, and please
consult your installer for specifics on how your system is config­ured, and for installation options which may have used, or can be
added to system after installation.
EXAMPLE- the AL-1810-EDP can sound the vehicle’s horn in place
of or in addition to the electronic siren which is included with it. But
the operations are described with the siren only.

The “Echo” operation of the AL-1810-EDP is its 2-Way Controller
receiving and reacting to signals from the system in the vehicle. It’s
functions are included in the following general system operation
descriptions; the Echo’s icons and its programming are detailed
on pages 22-24.

• 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-1810-EDP has two multi-use outputs, which can be programmed
to perform several different functions. The primary function of this output, 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 door lock
output, or as extra ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.

The Installer Programmable Features

Installer Programmable Features should only be used by the original
or other qualified installer, AND individual Installer Features should
only be used, where applicable, with the correct wiring connections.

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 28). 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.

The companion Installation Instructions booklet should be consulted for wiring
connections associated with these features.

Using the Excalibur System

Your Excalibur system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its
contents. “Arming” your system turns on its protection, disabling the vehicle’s
starter and locking the doors. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will
Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho siren and flashing the parking
and interior lights to attract attention. The unique and patented “2-in-1” Psyren
psycho siren actually produces the sounds of two different sirens at once, ensuring
that it won’t be ignored like all of the other “common” car alarms. Disarming the
system turns off the protection, unlocking the doors and turning on the parking and
interior lights, allowing lighted access to, and normal use of, the vehicle.

There are two methods of arming the Excalibur:
1- The first method is to use the controller* or transmitter, by pressing and

releasing the “arm/lock” button. The system must not already be armed or be

in Valet Mode, and the vehicle’s ignition key must be off.
2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to

automatically arm itself every time you exit the vehicle. This method of arming

is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.
Regardless of how it became armed, if the system is armed the window unit’s Status

Light flashes in the red color.

*If the 2-way controller is used to operate the system, it will receive a signal
back and confirm that the operation was performed.

Arming Using the Controller or Transmitter

The system can always be armed from the controller or transmitter, if the
ignition key is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system,
exit the vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press and release the “arm/lock”
button once.

The system’s reaction: The parking and interior lights will flash once, the siren
will chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash red, confirming that the
system is armed.* In addition, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt will
engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully
armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.

If the controller was used: Immediately after the system responds the con­troller will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed), the “ARM” icon will
appear, the “locked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have locked, and the
number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.

*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with
doorlocks connected, and he interior lights must be connected. The vehicle
horn may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.
