INSTALLATION
The alarm panel should be mounted in a location that has good GSM signal strength and that
is convenient for the user such as the living room or bedroom.
The alarm panel should be mounted away from metal objects as this will negatively affect the
performance of the wireless transceiver and GSM module.
Make sure the internal battery is plugged in as leaving it unplugged will negatively affect the
performance of the wireless transceiver and GSM module.
Mounting the alarm panel
Once the location has been chosen, remove the panel from the its bracket and mount the bracket
to the wall.
Use four 5mm screws and wall plugs to mount the bracket.
Tighten the screws until the bracket is firmly in place, but do
not over-tighten them.
Wiring the alarm panel
6 Rhino 232 Installation Manual |

Power Supply
Use only the 5V power supply with the alarm panel. A higher voltage supply or AC supply will
damage the alarm panel.
Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the positive terminal (5V) of the wall bracket
and the negative lead of the power supply to the negative terminal (GND) of the wall bracket.
Use a good quality security cable to do the connection like a ripcord cable.
NB. Please make sure to plug in the battery that is inside of the alarm panel.
Sound Bomb
The sound bomb may not draw more than 200mA.
Do not connect a conventional siren.
The alarm panel can drive an optional 12V sound bomb which can be used as an internal or
external siren.
NB:
Strobe Lamp
The alarm panel can drive an optional 12V strobe lamp.
Note: The strobe lamp must be a low current variet as it will shorten the y (not more than 50mA)
internal battery standby time.
Wired Zones
Up to two wired zones can be connected to the alarm panel (in addition to the wireless zones). The
wiring options for the zones are shown are in the next section. The auxillary 12V power supply can
be used to power up to two wired PIRs.
Note: Power supplied to the PIRs will shorten the internal battery stand-by time.
