Please spend time reviewing this guide to become familiar with your new Excalibur ATV-1000 vehicle security and convenience system. You will find that your new system will give you years of trouble-free convenience and protection. To learn how to operate your system, please become familiar with the following three principal user components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Light and the Valet Switch.

The Remote Transmitter: Each system is capable of being operated by up to four different remote transmitters. The remote transmitter has four push-button switches, each having a pictograph as to function. The basic operations are:

- The “arm/lock” button arms the security system, which can also lock the doors.* This

button is also used to operate the “remote panic" feature with locking doors.

- The “disarm/unlock” button disarms the security system, and can unlock the doors.*

This operation can be configured to unlock the driver's door only upon one press of the

button; then, if desired, all of the doors upon a second press of the button. This button

also operates the “remote panic" feature with unlocking doors.

- The “channel 2” button is used to operate an additional remote control function such as

trunk release, and to also silently arm or disarm the system.

- The “panic” button operates the remote “Panic” feature without locking or unlocking

the doors.

* Please note that the vehicle must have power doorlocks. In some vehicles, direct power doorlock connections may made, and in other vehicles an optional power doorlock interface may be required.

Remote Transmitter Operations

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.

Pressing the “channel 2” button for two seconds can be used to activate an output for an optional function such as trunk release. Pressing and releasing this button twice arms or disarms the system without the confirmation chirps.

Pressing and releasing the “disarm/

unlock” button disarms the system

and unlocks the doors unless the system is activated. The unlock operation may be configured 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. Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will

first disarm, and then activate the Panic feature, unlocking the doors.

Pressing the “panic” button for

three seconds will activate the Panic feature, but without locking or unlocking the doors.

Transmitter part number: #143-03

The Red LED Status Light: Informs you of the different conditions the security system

can be in and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.

The Valet Switch: In “every day” operation, the Valet Switch is used to place the system

into "Valet Mode". Valet Mode can be used to turn off automatic functions, such as Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming, and also prevents arming the system via remote transmitter. The Valet Switch is also used, with the ignition key, to disarm the security system in the event the transmitter becomes inoperable, and this switch is also used in the procedure for programming features and programming transmitters.

Arming The System Using The Transmitter

Arming The Security System Using The Transmitter: The security system can always

be armed from the transmitter, provided the ignition key is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, after you exit the vehicle and close all of the doors, simply press and release the “arm/lock” button once. The parking and interior lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once and the LED Status Light will begin to flash, 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.

Please note that the Excalibur’s separate “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button design allows repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/lock” button will simply rearm the system, and vice versa when pressing the “disarm/unlock” button.

Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any sensing circuit is inoperable, that circuit only will

automatically be bypassed. When an unsecured system circuit is in a bypassed state, all other operating circuits will be protected normally. For example, should the trunk be open, you can still arm the system with the transmitter. Should the bypassed circuit become secured, it will automatically be reinstated for protection 5 seconds later. When certain protection circuits are bypassed, such as the hood/trunk and optional sensor, when the system is armed, it will indicate this by chirping the siren three time and flashing the parking lights three times instead of the normal arming indication of one each. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming the system with the transmitter.

Sensor By-Pass: Your security system provides you with the convenience of temporarily

deactivating any added optional auxiliary sensor without affecting the other trigger circuits. To deactivate the sensor, simply press and release the transmitter’s “channel 2” button within three seconds after pressing the “arm/lock” button when arming the system. You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that the security system has armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next time the security system is armed normally with one “arm/ lock” button press, the sensor will again be part of your protection.

Passively Arming The System

Automatically Arming The Security System Using “Last Door Arming”: For

maximum protection, the Excalibur can also automatically arm itself and lock or not lock the doors. This feature is programmable, and may be configured to operate if desired.

Page - 7

When the vehicle's last door is closed the siren will chirp once, the parking and interior lights flash once and the LED Status Light will begin to flash rapidly. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp and the lights will flash again, the doors will lock (which is separately programmable) and the LED Status Light will slow to a steady flash, confirming that the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened before the single siren chirp at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming process stops, and will reset to start over when the point of entry is again closed. All protected entries must be closed to initiate the Automatic Last Door Arming sequence. Automatic Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not have to remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle, and may entitle you to an insurance discount (please check with your agent or carrier).

To temporarily prevent the system from automatically Last Door Arming, you have these options: put the system in Valet Mode (page 13-16), leave the door open, or, in most cases turning on the dome light may cause the system to detect that your door is still open. Leaving the ignition key turned "on" is not recommended.

Security System Armed, & Triggered

While the security system is armed, the LED Status Light is always flashing. Should any intrusion attempt occur, the system will instantly "trigger", and once triggered, will respond by sounding the electronic siren; flashing the parking and interior lights on and off; and relocking the doors when the system is first triggered. Should a door be opened, the system will wait until the door is closed, and at that time relock the doors so that a thief cannot easily regain entry to the vehicle.

Page - 8

The siren will sound and the parking and interior lights will flash for 60 seconds unless you disarm the system with the transmitter or the Valet Switch and ignition key. If all protected entries are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will stop and rearm to detect further entry attempts. If there is a protected entry still open or if an optional sensor is still in a triggered state at the end of 60 seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 60 second cycles. In this case the system will stop after a total of 3 minutes and rearm automatically, while ignoring only the open entry or triggered sensor. When the entry is closed or the triggered sensor is reset, protection will begin instantly for the formerly affected circuit.

Once the security system has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation will no longer be 2 siren chirps, and the parking and interior lights staying on. Instead, the system will respond with 4 siren chirps and the parking and interior lights flashing 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. The LED Status Light will change to flashing one to four times between pauses to indicate which protection circuit triggered the system. These audible and visual indications will remain this way until the ignition is turned “on”.

Anytime the security system triggers, the LED Status Light will indicate which zone triggered the system by flashing one to four times, pausing between flashes. This code will continue to flash, even after disarming. The system can hold two different violation codes in it's memory, which is cleared by turning the ignition switch "on".

Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding the siren and

flashing the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” transmitter button will disarm the system, but not unlock the doors. This safety feature ensures that the vehicle remain secure should

the system require disarming due to being activated from nuisance or malicious false sensory inputs, such as typically produced by severe weather conditions. To remotely unlock the doors if the system is disarmed while activated, simply repeat the disarm operation by pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” transmitter button again. If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present, including the unlocking of the doors.

Disarming The System

Disarming The System Using The Transmitter: While the security system is in the

armed state, pressing and releasing the transmitter’s “disarm/unlock” button once will instantly disarm the system and unlock the doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature, then upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the transmitter’s “disarm/unlock” button is pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock. Whenever the system is disarmed, pressing the “disarm/unlock” button unlocks the doors.

Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice, and the parking and interior lights

turning on for 30 seconds. However, the lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on". If the system was triggered and reset while you are away, the disarm confirmation will change to 4 siren chirps, 4 light flashes, and then the lights will stay on for 30 seconds. The security system will have this response upon disarming until the ignition switch is turned "on", which clears the unit's memory.

Automatic Rearming Feature: Should you unknowingly press the transmitter button, which results in your system disarming, the system will automatically rearm itself 90 seconds later and once again lock the doors. This feature is programmable, and may be turned on if it is desired.

Automatic Rearming can be paused by opening the door or stopped by turning "on" the ignition switch. Also, Automatic Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm Mode feature; if the system is disarmed while triggered, Automatic Rearming will not occur. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing LED Status Light after disarming, unless the system was triggered, in which case a Zone Violation code will flash instead.

Remote Panic Feature

Remote Panic Activation From The Transmitter: Should you feel threatened, or the

need to attract attention, you can activate your system's remote “Panic” feature at any time by depressing and holding the “panic”, “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” transmitter button for 3 seconds. Your system will respond by sounding the siren and flashing the exterior and interior lights for the normal activated period of 60 seconds. Activating Panic with the “panic” button will not affect the doorlocks; activating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will unlock the doors; activating it the “arm/lock” button will lock the doors. To disengage Panic, simply press and release either the “panic”, “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” transmitter button.

Once remote Panic is activated, after 60 seconds, the system will stop and reset. Otherwise, if you wish to stop the Panic feature during the 60 second period, press the

Page - 11

“panic”, “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” button. When turning off Panic mode from the transmitter, pressing “arm/lock” to stop Panic will leave the system armed with locked doors, and pressing “disarm/unlock” will leave the system disarmed with unlocked doors, and pressing “panic” will leave the system in the same arm/disarm state it was in before Panic was activated, and not lock or unlock the doors.

Optional 2nd Channel and 3rd Channel Output

Optional 2nd Channel Output (Trunk Release): If your vehicle is equipped with

electric trunk release, your installing dealer can configure your system to perform trunk release from your transmitter. Use of the 2nd channel output is recommended to operate this option; simply press and hold the transmitter’s “channel 2” button for 2.5 seconds. Your vehicle will respond by releasing the trunk lid or rear hatch, chirping the siren twice, turning on your parking and interior lights for 30 seconds, unlocking the doors, and disarming the system if it was armed. The trunk release will not operate with the ignition switch "on" unless the vehicle's door is open. If desired, the security system can be programmed to remain armed when this feature is used.

Optional 3rd Channel Output: This output's operation is similar to the 2nd channel.

To operate it, press and hold the transmitter’s “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” buttons together for 2.5 seconds to activate the 3rd channel output. The 3rd channel output will operate regardless of the ignition switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual confirmation.
