Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Excalibur Gold security system and on joining over 8 million people worldwide who have trusted their vehicle's security to the designers of Omega Research & Development, Inc. Your Excalibur Gold system combines state-of-the-art security technology with practical, user-friendly convenience features. You will have increased peace of mind knowing that your vehicle, and its contents, are protected. The added convenience features will also enhance the enjoyment and satisfaction of the dayto-day use of your vehicle. To learn how to operate your security system, please become familiar with the following three principal user components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Indicator and the Valet Switch.

The Remote Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned transmitters, but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. The transmitter has three buttons: one large button at the top, near the LED* and two smaller buttons below. This system is pre-programmed, through a built-in learning routine, to have the transmitter buttons work in the following configuration:

The large upper button is used to arm, disarm and panic the security system.

The small center button may be used to operate the trunk release feature; or, in

conjunction with the large button, for silent arming or disarming of the system, to operate

remote sensor bypass, and temporary remote valet.

The small lower button is used to operate the 3rd Channel Output. The remote transmitter's operation is explained in more detail on Pages 7-9.

* LED is the abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode, which is used as a visual indicator.

The Valet Switch: This switch is used to place the system into Valet Mode, which prevents

manual arming and any automatic system functions which may have been programmed to operate. The Valet Switch is also used, in conjunction with the ignition key, to perform an Override function, which will allow you to disarm the security system in the event the transmitter becomes inoperable. And finally, the Valet Switch is also used as part of the Programmable Features and Transmitter Programming procedures.

The Red LED Status Indicator: Informs you of the possible conditions the security system

can be in; and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. The LED Status Indicator is also used as the visual indicator for the Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM Feature.

The Valet Switch and the Red LED Status Indicator are supplied with a consolidated mounting enclosure, which places them together for ease of operation, or, if desired, they may be located separately and mounted by alternative methods. Please spend time reviewing this guide to become familiar with your Excalibur Gold vehicle security system. We trust that you will find the new Excalibur Gold vehicle security system performs to your highest expectations, and will provide you with years of trouble-free convenience and protection.

Please note that your new Excalibur Gold vehicle security system has 10 user and installer Programmable Features, described in detail in a later section, which allows customizing the system's operations, some to suit your personal needs, and others which adapt the system to a particular vehicle's installation parameters.

Excalibur Gold Advanced System Features

Automatic Transmitter Verification

protected against a weakness which is shared by all other remote security systems, even factory-equipped Remote Keyless Entry systems: a thief's ability to code his own, unauthorized transmitter to operate your system for the purpose of stealing your vehicle or it's contents.

: Your Excalibur Gold vehicle security system is

The Patented Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM feature is the industry's first response addressing the growing problem of a professional thief defeating a vehicle security system by coding his own transmitter to operate the system. Previously, garage door openers were commonly duplicated by burglars to gain home entry. Now when you leave your vehicle and keys with any individual for any reason, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that only your transmitters will operate the security system and that no other person has coded extra transmitters to steal your vehicle.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For the first 48 hours after your new system

is installed, every time the ignition switch is turned "on", the siren

will chirp rapidly (or the horn will honk rapidly) for two seconds, and

the LED Status Light will flash for 90 seconds. This will also occur

the event of a new transmitter code being entered into the system.

Also, in normal operation, every time the ignition switch is turned "on", the LED Status Indicator will flash and pause for ten seconds, the number of flashes between each pause being equal to, and confirming, the number of transmitters encoded to operate your system. For example: two flashes and a pause indicate that only two transmitters are coded to operate your system. In the event the system alerts you to a recent transmitter addition, or if the LED Status Indicator flashes a total different from the number of transmitters you have programmed to operate your system, you can now immediately reprogram your transmitters, effectively erasing any unauthorized transmitters.

Transmitter Operations

Small Center Button-

If this button is held for 3 seconds, the security system will activate the trunk release function. If this button is pressed and then the large button is pressed within 3 seconds, the security system will arm or disarm without audible confirmation. If this button is pressed within 3 seconds after arming the system, the Auxiliary sensor will be deactivated. If this button is pressed within 3 seconds after disarming, the system will enter Remote Valet.

Red LED Light- Illuminates and confirms transmission when a button is pressed.

Small Lower Button-

Pressing this button for 3 seconds may be used to activate other optional equipment, such remote car starting units; or the programmable Anti-Carjacking feature (Page 26).

Page - 7

Large Upper Button- Pressing and releasing this button will arm and disarm the security system. If the optional doorlock interface is installed, the doors will lock upon arming, and unlock upon disarming. Pressing and holding this button for 3 seconds will "Panic" the system- which will sound the siren (or horn), flash the exterior lights, and also lock the doors.

Transmitter Code JumpingTM: When the remote control transmitter is operated, a switch

upon it is pressed so that it may transmit an encoded Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The word "frequency" denotes the wavelength of the signal, and the encoding is a digital message within the signal which ensures the correct command is followed by the proper receiving system. A common analogy used to illustrate this is a common pocket radio - the frequency denotes where to turn the radio's dial to hear a particular program, and the encoding is the language and words which, if correct, are understood by the listener.

Each time you transmit a code to the security system, the transmitter and security system will advance to another code to use for the transmission. The Code JumpingTM Transmitter prevents a thief from using a "code grabber" device to record and play back a transmission for the purpose of disarming your vehicle security system. Please note that pressing the transmitter's arm / disarm button many times while it is out of range of the security system can advance its codes beyond the range of recognition. If this occurs, simply press the arm / disarm button a few times within range of the system to re-synchronize the Code Jumping between the transmitter and the security system control module.

The Remote Transmitter

Transmitter Button Operation: The transmitter's three buttons individually control the system's functions; and certain other operations may be performed by first pressing and releasing one, then another button in sequence. Complete transmitter button operations are:

1) Arm / Lock: (System Disarmed) Press and release the Large Upper Button.

2) Disarm / Unlock #1: (System Armed) Press and release the Large Upper Button.

3) Remote Panic Feature: (At any time) Press and hold the Large Upper Button 3

seconds.

4) T runk Release Output: (At any time) Press and hold the Small Center Button 3

seconds. This operation also disarms the system (if armed).

5) 3rd Channel Output: (At any time) Press and hold the Small Lower Button for 3

seconds. If the Anti-Carjacking Feature is programmed to operate, it will be activated if the ignition switch is on and 3rd Channel Output is operated.

6) Silent Arm / Lock: (System Disarmed) Press and release the Small Center Button,

then press and release the Large Upper Button.

7) Silent Disarm / Unlock: (System Armed) Press and release the Small Center

Button, then press and release the Large Upper Button.

8) Arm and bypass the Auxiliary Sensor: (System Disarmed) Press and release the

Large Upper Button, then press and release the Small Center Button.

9) Disarm, then Remote V alet: (System Armed) Press and release the Large Upper

Button, then press and release the Small Center Button.

Please note that certain conditions will affect the previously described system operations

- if the ignition switch is "on", the security system cannot be armed, but pressing and holding the transmitter's Large Upper Button for 3 seconds will engage the Remote Panic Feature. The Trunk Release output will not operate with the ignition "on", unless a door is open. The 3rd Channel output may be operated regardless of the ignition switch's status. Also, while in Valet Mode, the system cannot become armed, but will still operate the vehicle's doorlocks, parking and dome lights, trunk release, and any function operated by the 3rd Channel Output.

Arming The System Using The Transmitter

To "arm" your security system is to place it into a state whereby it will respond to any detected intrusion attempt. The security system can always be armed from the transmitter provided the ignition switch is “off”, and the system is disarmed and 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 large transmitter button once, Instantly the exterior and interior lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once (or the horn will honk once) and the LED Status Indicator will begin to flash confirming that the system is armed. Further, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt circuit will prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Three seconds after the single siren chirp (or horn honk) and light flash, your security system is fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.

Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any sensor circuit is inoperable, that circuit is bypassed. For example, if the trunk is left open, you can still arm the system normally from the transmitter. When armed in this condition, the siren will chirp (or the horn will honk) three

Page - 9

times instead once. The bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for protection 5 seconds after that circuit becomes operative, i.e., when the trunk is closed. When a triggered circuit is in a bypassed state, all other operating circuits will be protected normally.

Sensor Bypass: Your Excalibur Gold system provides you with the convenient option of

temporarily deactivating the Auxiliary Sensor without affecting any other trigger circuit. To deactivate the Auxiliary Sensor, simply press and release the small center transmitter button within 3 seconds of pressing the large transmitter button to arm the system. You will hear a second siren chirp (or horn honk), confirming the security system has armed without the sensor circuit protecting the vehicle. The next time you arm the security system, the system will reset to its normal condition, and the Auxiliary Sensor will again be part of your protection. If desired, a second Auxiliary Sensor may be easily added to your system.

You may program your Excalibur Gold security system to automatically arm and, if desired, also lock the doors. This feature is described in the following section. Automatic Rearming is another method whereby the system can become armed. This is a Programmable Feature, which may be configured to operate if desired, and is described on Page 11.

Passive System Arming And Rearming

Last Door Arming: Your security system can be programmed to arm automatically when

the vehicle's last door is closed. The moment the last door closes the siren will chirp once (or the horn will honk once), the parking lights and dome lights flash once and the LED Status Indicator begins to flash rapidly. Thirty seconds later the siren again chirps once (or the horn will honk again), the lights flash once, the doors will lock (if the Last Door Lock

Page - 10

and Automatic Relock feature has also been chosen) and the LED Status Indicator will slow to a steady flash, confirming that the security system is fully armed. However, if a point of entry is reopened before the single siren chirp (or horn honk) and light flash at 30 seconds, this passive arming process stops, and resets to start over again when that point of entry is reclosed.

"Automatic Last Door Arming" offers a high level of security, since it does not require you to remember to arm the security system when you leave your vehicle. Additionally, Automatic Last Door Arming may entitle you to an insurance discount. Please note that the previously described Arming Bypass feature does not operate with Automatic Last Door Arming. The Arming Bypass is designed to operate only when arming from the transmitter, because all protected entries must be closed prior to the Automatic Last Door Arming sequence to start.

To prevent the system from automatically arming while the vehicle is being refueled, you should put the system in Valet Mode, keep your door open, or turn on your dome light switch so the system detects that your door is still open. We do not recommend leaving your ignition key turned "on". Last Door Arming does not effect the operation or use of the transmitter to arm the system - if desired, the transmitter may still arm the system at any time.

Automatic Rearming: Selecting the Last Door Arming Feature also adds Automatic

Rearming. This Feature causes the system to automatically rearm itself 90 seconds after disarming, unless the ignition switch is turned "on". This prevents the accidental disarming of the system by the inadvertent pressing of the transmitter's button while placing it in a purse

Page - 11

or pocket. If the "Last Door Locking and Automatic Relocking" Programmable Feature is utilized, the doors will also lock when the system automatically rearms. Automatic Rearming is indicated by a fast flashing LED Status Light during the 90 seconds, then a parking light flash and siren chirp (or horn honk) when the system rearms.

Remote Valet: This Feature, which operates as part of the Automatic Rearming Feature,

will temporarily cancel the Automatic Rearming. To use Remote Valet, press and release the small lower transmitter button within 3 seconds after pressing the large transmitter button when disarming the system. The parking lights will flash on and off, and the LED Status Indicator will illuminate steady to confirm Remote Valet operation. The system will remain in Remote Valet mode until armed again by transmitter; or, the Valet Switch may be pressed.

Security System Armed And Activated

While the security system is armed, the LED Status Indicator will be flashing. Should any intrusion attempt occur, your system will instantly activate, or "trigger". Once triggered, the system will:

1 ) Sound the electronic siren or the vehicle's horn. The siren features six different tones,

and every 5 seconds the siren will change the tone to generate more attention to the vehicle. The horn will sound a series of honks, sounding for one second, then pausing one second. Every ten seconds, the horn honking will pause completely for 5 seconds, which avoids overheating the horn. This will occur for the duration of
