" 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" or " "
Pressing and holding the "
" button for 3 seconds will activate the Panic

- 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 config-
ured 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 config-
ured, 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 arm-
ing 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.

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.
