Arming Using the Transmitter
The system can always be armed from the 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.
Your Excalibur system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its
contents. “Arming” your system turns on the 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 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.
Using the Excalibur System
Regardless of how it became armed, if the system is armed the Status Light flashes
in a slow, steady manner.
The system’s reaction:
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp
once and the 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.

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