OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ROLLING CODE ALARM RCA
HIGH SECURITY SWITCH
Located in the rear of the siren is a master switch. This can be used to turn the system on and off.
Bear in mind that if you plug the alarm while it is armed, the build in backup battery will continue
to power the system. In this case, you must use the keyswitch to disable the alarm.
BACK UP BATTERY TEST
•Insert key, switch to “ON”position.
•Switch to “TEST” position, the siren will sound on the
internal back up battery, if the battery is fully charged.
•
If no siren sound is heard, this indicates a faulty
internal battery.
NOTE: Back up battery requires a minimum of 24 hours
to charge fully after installation.

EMERGENCY PANIC BUTTON OPERATED VIA REMOTE
The panic is activated by pressing the button on the remote control transmitter for 3 seconds. This
sets off the siren. To cancel panic, press the button on the transmitter for 1 second.
TO ARM/DISARM ALARM
Alarm is activated by pressing the button on remote control transmitter. The blinkers will flash once,
and siren will beep, dash LED-light will stay on for 20 seconds then flash, ALARM IS NOW ON. To
deactivate alarm, press the button again. Blinkers will flash 3 times. ALARM IS OFF.
LEARNING NEW TRANSMITTERS
To add a new transmitter to your alarm, simply follow the
procedure below:
RHINO
1. Turn the keyswitch on the rear of the alarm to battery back (test ) position. The siren will sound,
this is OK.
2. Press and hold the button on the new remote control and immediately;
3. Turn the keyswitch on the rear of the alarm to the SYSTEM ON position.
4. Now release the button on the new remote control.
5. The new remote control is now programmed into the alarm.

FEATURES USED BY INSTALLERS / SERVICEMEN
1. INSTALLER / SERVICE MODE TEST
Installer and alarm service mode and test mode is accessed by on powering of
alarm. It is used to check each sector input when door, hood, aux or voltage drop is
triggered. A signal is given via the blinkers and the dash LED light.
Shock sensor adjustment: If a hard shock is received by the shock piezo sensor, one
second flash will be seen from blinkers. If a light shock is received by piezo sensor, a
half second flash will be seen from blinkers.
For proper adjustment of shock sensor go to the rear of vehicle and bump vehicle
until a half second flash is seen from blinkers. When the desired force is applied.
On completion of shock sensor adjustment, you can exit installer mode. This is
accomplished by pushing the button on remote control or turn ignition to on
position.
2. ALARM HISTORY MEMORY READ OUT VIA SIREN AND LED
To access alarm memory turn ignition on and hood opened i.e. bonnet switch
grounded. By pressing the remote control, alarm history is accessed via siren and
LED.
1 Beep, 1 Flash -Voltage Drop Alarm
2 Beep, 2 Flashes -Not Used On This Model
3 Beep, 3 Flashes -Shock Sensor Alarm
4 Beep, 4 Flashes -Power Fail Alarm
5 Beep, 5 Flashes -Ignition Alarm
6 Beep, 6 Flashes -Not Used
7 Beep, 7 Flashes -Door Alarms
8 Beep, 8 Flashes -Bonnet / Boot Alarm
If two previous alarms were caused by i.e. voltage drop and shock sensor the LED
will flash and siren will beep once for voltage drop, no noise for 1 second then beep
three times for shock sensor. The memory will hold ten alarm memories. The last
memory heard is the most recent alarm sector triggered.
To exit memory mode turn ignition off and close bonnet.

WARNING TO ALL ALARM
INSTALLERS
The RCA alarm is equipped with Low
Current Negative Pulse Central Lock
outputs. This must not be used unless a
complete understanding of the car’s
central locking system is known. Failure
to do this can damage electronics and
this damage WILL NOT BE
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! If
unsure, please connect relays as shown
on wiring instructions.

CURRENT SENSING
The RCA alarm is fitted standard with current sensing. This feature with the Rhino
Australian made alarms has been proven to be very reliable, so on the RCA model it
is a standard feature, not removable.

If removing this feature is a necessity, this can be achieved by connecting both the
positive and negative power feed directly on to the car battery, this will override the
current sensing feature in most cases.
