Panic does not work when the ignition is on by requirement of Australian Law (EPA-Environmental
Protection Authority).
BACKUP BATTERY TEST
The alarm is fitted with an intelligent battery backup test feature. When you turn the ignition to on, the alarm
does a diagnostic check on the backup battery. If the charge is below an acceptable level, then the dash LED
will flash for the first 5 seconds when the ignition is turned on.
PAT™ PAST ALARM TRIGGER MEMORY
If the alarm was triggered by an intruder while your alarm was set, it will beep the siren and flash the
blinkers four times on disarm. The system will also store the ten last times the alarm has been activated in
its memory, and can tell you what has triggered the system. Please refer to “Features used by Users and
Installers” contained later in these instructions.

PRE-ALERT IMPACT WARNING WITH ETS™
This special feature provides a two stage impact sensing system. It gives the security conscious owner a
sensitive car body impact sensor that will give a potential thief prior warning that the vehicle is protected by
this most formidable alarm system. On detection of a low level impact i.e. from a tyre kick, the siren will
simply beep for a few seconds to warn away the would-be thief. If the vehicle is attacked any further, the
system will move into full siren mode. The unique ETS™ Environment Tuned Sensor is able to distinguish
between environmental shocks caused by aircraft, trucks, or extreme weather conditions, and the impact
caused by any thief attempting to break in or other heavy impacts. Furthermore the system features the
unique Rhino "Auto Adjust" process, where during the 20 sec. arming delay, the alarm samples the
background noise where the vehicle is parked, and will if necessary automatically reduce the sensitivity of the
impact sensor to an appropriate level. This process allows a trouble free sensitivity that ordinary alarms
simply can not provide. The sensitivity level reference point can be adjusted to suit your particular needs.
Please refer to the programming section contained later in this manual.
DOOR AJAR WARNING FEATURE
If the vehicles doors are not properly closed when you try to activate your alarm system, the blinkers will
flash and the siren will continuously beep for 3 seconds to alert you that the vehicle is not secure.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES
The features outlined below are the most popular that can be turned on or off to suit your requirements.
Please refer to the section is this manual marked “Rhino Programmable Features” for full details.
PASSIVE ARMING: The alarm can automatically arm itself one minute after you leave your vehicle provided
that the ignition is turned off, and that at least one door has been opened and closed ie. the owner has
parked and has exited the vehicle. This feature will not lock the vehicle where central locking is connected.
AUTOMATIC RE-ARM FEATURE: This feature prevents accidental disarming by the owner ie. the owner
turns the alarm off but is then distracted and forgets that they have deactivated the system. If a door is not
opened within one minute from when the system is turned off by the remote, the system will re-arm and if
central locking is connected it will re-lock the vehicle.
AUTO IMMOBILISE: Enables the alarm system to act as an engine immobiliser only. The immobiliser
activates 38 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The dash mounted LED will stay on constantly to
confirm the system’s special status. The vehicle can not be started unless the remote is pressed. If the
remote is pressed again, the alarm will arm & lock the doors as per normal operation. Particularly useful
feature for tradespeople.
DOOR LOCK ON IGNITION: When this feature is on, the doors will lock when the ignition is turned to on, and
unlock when the ignition is turned to off. (Where central locking is connected).
PERIMETER NIGHT LIGHT: When this feature is on, the indicators will stay on constantly for 20 seconds on
disarm, or until the ignition is turned on. This allows for illumination around the vehicle at night.
INSTANT BOOT RELEASE: When this feature is on, the boot release button (right) will only require to be
pressed once rather than held down for 3 seconds to open an electric boot.
LEARNING NEW TRANSMITTERS

A. Turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
B. Immediately press and hold the LEFT button on the original remote control until the siren starts to
beep (approximately 4 seconds) and then release the button.
C. Immediately press and hold the LEFT button on the new remote control for at least 4 seconds.
D. Turn the vehicle’s ignition off.
E. The new remote control is now programmed into the alarm.

Your Rhino Security system incorporates the latest in high security & convenience features. It is possible to customise
your security system so that it suits your requirements perfectly. Detailed below is the full list of programmable
features that can either be turned on or turned off.
We have set at the factory, the most common configuration chosen and these settings are listed in the REGISTER
Settings listed below. Once the desired features have been selected, the selection is permanently retained in memory,
even if power is removed, or the override keyswitch is turned to off. This includes the Past Alarm Trigger Memory.
To turn on or turn off any feature use the following procedure: eg
to disable passive arming.
1.
F
ind the REGISTER (1, 2 or 3) in which the feature is located. (eg passive arming is located in REGISTER 1).
2. Set the vehicle up as described to access REGISTER 1, (doors closed, bonnet closed, turning the ignition on
last).
3. Press the LEFT remote control button an equal number of times to the selected feature’s code number (eg 5
times for passive arming).
4. Turn the ignition to off.
5. The system will then confirm which features are activated via audible readout. If a feature is enabled the
siren will chirp out its code in beeps from the siren corresponding to the number shown in the column “Press
Remote This Many Times”. The siren in this example will beep in order Once, then Twice, etc. up to Eight times. The
system misses the passive arming code of 5 Beeps as this feature has been disabled. Please note that feature 9
is excluded from the confirming number of beeps on all 3 Registers.

FEATURES USED BY INSTALLERS / SERVICEMEN
1. INSTALLER / SERVICE MODE:
Service mode is accessed by turning the key switch to the off position. This enables complete deactivation of the
system without using the remote control. This is normally done when other mechanical/electrical work is performed
on the vehicle. Installer mode is used to quickly test and fault find; it is used to check each sector input when door,
hood, aux or voltage drop is triggered. A signal is given via the blinkers, the dash LED light and the siren. See Register
2 in programming.
2. RECOMMENDED MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS: The recommended position to mount the unit is vertically as
illustrated below. Where possible, mount the unit as close as possible to the centre of the firewall. Unit should be at
least 25cm away from high tension leads, distributor, or ignition coil. Keep the unit away from water run off areas
such as overflow bottles & drain tubes. Horizontal mounting increases the sensitivity of the shock sensor.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow any part of the vehicle to touch the unit - no hosing, wiring, or other car components should
be able to touch or rub on the unit, as this will affect the sensitivity of the shock sensor. The unit must only be
connected to the vehicle by the mounting bracket. To adjust the sensitivity level of the impact sensor via the remote
controls, please refer to Register 1 in “Programmable Features” located on page 4 of this manual.
Wiring loom and keyswitch must be
furthest away from firewall.

CURRENT SENSING
The alarm is fitted standard with current sensing. This feature incorporated in Rhino systems has been
proven to be very reliable. The alarm will detect any sudden drop in voltage in the vehicle’s electrical system,
for example if the interior light comes on, or if the electrical system shows a voltage drop through
tampering.
PLEASE NOTE:If removal of this feature is necessary i.e. if engine cooling fans run after the ignition key is
turned off, please refer to Register 3 in the Programmable Features section of this manual. You are able to
disable the current sensing feature so that a false alarm condition can not occur.
