BUTTON 2
BUTTON 1
TO ARM/DISARM ALARM
The system is activated by pressing BUTTON 1 on the remote control transmitter once. The siren
will beep once. The indicators will flash once. The LED will start flashing. THE ALARM IS
NOW ARMED.
To deactivate the system, press BUTTON 1 again. The siren will beep twice. The indicators will
flash twice. The LED will stop flashing. THE ALARM IS NOW DISARMED.
(Note: Please wait at least five seconds after arming before pressing the remote control again - see
deleting shock sensor below).
COMPLETE DEACTIVATION can be achieved by turning the override keyswitch on the rear of
the alarm to the ON position - NOW OVERRIDE IS ON. The siren will sound immediately if
main power is removed while the system is armed. (If backup battery is installed).
AUTOMATIC REARM

This alarm is equipped with automatic rearming. If a door is not opened within 30 seconds of
disarming, the system will automatically re-arm itself. A confirmation beep will be heard to indicate
that the system has rearmed itself. If the alarm is triggered, pressing remote Button 1 once will
cancel the siren and rearm the system. The siren will beep once. Press remote Button 1 again to
deactivate the system. The siren will beep four times and the indicators will flash three times.
ALARM MEMORY
If the alarm has been triggered in your absence, the siren will beep four times on disarm & the
indicators will flash three times . The LED will then indicate what has triggered the system:
1 Flash...pause...1 Flash.... Trigger on current sensing.
2 Flashes...pause...2 Flashes... Trigger from pinswitch or neg. trigger connected to blue wire.
3 Flashes...pause...3 Flashes... Trigger from shock sensor.
The memory readout is given for 30 seconds after disarming, or until the ignition is turned to on.
EMERGENCY PANIC BUTTON OPERATED VIA REMOTE
The panic feature is activated by pressing Button 1 on the remote control transmitter for 3 seconds.
This sets off the siren. To cancel “panic”, press Button 1 on the transmitter for 1 second.
REMOTE CONTROL CAR LOCATOR
This feature is activated by pressing Button 2 on the remote control transmitter for 2 seconds. The
siren will beep once and the indicators will flash 12 times to help you locate your vehicle.
DELETE SHOCK SENSOR
This feature enables the alarm system to be armed without the shock sensor being activated. Simply
press Button 1 twice within 3seconds when arming. A confirmation chirp is heard for each press.
TRIGGERING
The siren sounds for 30 seconds then it will reset and rearm itself automatically.
Your Rhino RT65 Alarm can be triggered by the following three methods:
1. TWO STAGE SHOCK SENSOR (PRE-WARNING SYSTEM)
This special feature provides a two stage impact sensing system. It gives the security conscious
owner a sensitive impact sensor that will give a potential thief prior warning that the vehicle is
protected by this alarm system. When the vehicle is “hit” lightly the siren will simply chirp to warn
away the thief. If the vehicle is attacked with a higher level of impact (i.e. break glass), the system
will move into full siren mode.
2. CURRENT SENSING
This feature allows the alarm to be triggered by sensing a drop in voltage through the vehicles
electrical system. Where a door or boot/bonnet switch are wired to the interior light circuit, the
alarm will sense the light coming on through the drop in voltage and trigger the system. The interior
light/s must be set to turn on when the doors are opened. The alarm must be wired to the vehicles
interior light circuit exactly as described in the proceeding wiring instructions for this system to
function correctly. If there are accessories in the vehicle that use power after the vehicle is switched
off i.e. car fridges, some mobile phone kits, thermo fans etc. then removal of this feature will be
required. See wiring instructions detailed later.
3. NEGATIVE TRIGGER INPUT (Grounded pin switch)
This feature allows the alarm to be triggered by a negative signal from door/boot/bonnet switches or
from optional sensors such as ultrasonic or microwave detectors.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING
1. Mount the alarm in the engine compartment. Be careful not to mount it near hot exhaust
manifolds or areas that are subject to moisture. A position on the firewall is preferable. The siren
should face forwards.
2. Mark & drill two 3/16” holes to fix the mounting bracket. Screw bracket tightly to vehicle.
3. Mount the alarm to the bracket with the nuts, bolts and lock washers supplied. Ensure that the
only thing that will transmit vibrations to the alarm is through the mounting bracket. If hoses etc.
rest on the unit shock sensitivity will be increased.
4. The LED status indicator should be mounted in a highly visible area. Once a suitable location is
chosen, drill a 5/16” hole. Run the LED wires through the hole then press the LED housing into
place. Route the LED wires to the control module.
5. After finishing the installation ,wiring and programming, remove the two screws that hold the
upper case on top of the siren. Insert a 9V Alkaline battery into the compartment and attach the
battery clip. Connect the other end to the adjacent 2 pin connector. Replace the cover.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INSTALLERS
:
Vehicles fitted with negative
or positive switching doors.
In order for the alarm system to function correctly, it is necessary for the doors to be
hard wired to the system. Please follow the wiring diagrams below:

The Rhino RT65 Alarm System allows for customisation of both siren sound type and
shock sensor sensitivity.
Programming Remote Controls: To program, disconnect all power to alarm (i.e. remove fuse
&backup battery). After 10 seconds replace the fuse. Press Button 1 on the first remote control. A
single confirmation chirp should be heard. If you intend to use the second remote control, press
Button 1 on this remote within 5 seconds of the first remotes confirmation chirp. A single chirp will
be given to confirm that this remote is also learnt into the alarm. Now install the backup battery.
Note: Whenever power is lost to the alarm, i.e. both the backup battery & the car battery are
disconnected, this procedure must be repeated, as remote codes are not retained in memory.
This will enable you to delete a remote in case it is lost or stolen.
Adjusting Shock Sensor Sensitivity: Your Rhino RT65 Alarm has an 8 Level adjustable, two
stage shock sensing system. Test the sensitivity of this system by arming the alarm and waiting
three seconds. Strike the front windows, or hood with your palm. At this low level of impact you
should hear the pre-warning chirp. If you wish to increase or decrease sensitivity follow this
procedure:
1. Within 10 seconds of disarming the alarm, press down both Buttons 1 & 2 on the remote control
for two seconds. A single chirp will be given to confirm that you have entered the programming
mode.
2. Press Button 2 to enter choosing shock sensitivity. By pressing Button 2 again you are able to
scroll through the 8 levels and corresponding tones. The higher the pitch of the tone, the more
sensitive the alarm is to shock vibrations. At any time you can stop to test the setting. ( A chirp
sound given indicates pre-warning level of impact detected, designed to warn away the would be
thief, the ding-dong sound indicates that the alarm would have triggered to full siren sound if the
vehicle had been hit at this higher level). Note: the last level is to turn off the shock sensor,
corresponding with a chirp sound.
3. Once you are happy with the level of sensitivity, press Button 1 to exit the programming mode
and to save the chosen sensitivity level. Two confirmation chirps will be given. If you don’t press
any buttons within 10 seconds, the system will automatically exit the programming mode.
4. To avoid the possibility of false alarms, please take care to adjust the sensor so that it is not
over sensitive.
Choosing Siren Tone: Your Rhino RT65 Alarm has the ability to sound in either 5 Tone or
Single Tone operation. If you prefer to choose a single tone siren sound follow this procedure:
1. Within 10 seconds of disarming the alarm, press down both Buttons 1 & 2 on the remote control
for two seconds. A single chirp will be given to confirm that you have entered the programming
mode.
2. Press Button 1 to enter choosing siren sound. By pressing Button 1 again you are able to scroll
through the 5 different tones and multi-siren sound.
3. Once you are happy with the siren sound, press Button 2 to exit the programming mode and to
save the last sound played. Two confirmation chirps will be given. If you don’t press any buttons
within 10 seconds, the system will automatically exit the programming mode.

YELLOW (X2) -
Connect to an ignition switched 12VDC isolation circuit: locate the positive feed
wire to the fuel pump. Cut that wire and join the two yellow wires to either end of
the wire which you have just cut. Warning: Internal cut out relay has 15amp
max rating. Disable only fuel pump or ignition coil if vehicle is not EFI. If more
than 15amp cutout rating is required, you must install a 30/40amp changeover
relay as shown in earlier diagram. Under no circumstances should you cut the
vehicle’s main ignition system.
WHITE (X2) -
Connect to left & right indicator circuits. When the alarm is triggered these two
wires provide +12VDC output (5amps).
ORANGE -
This is a switched negative output (-ve 500mA). Use this wire to drive a
30/40amp changeover relay as shown in earlier diagram, if greater than 15amp
circuit is to be immobilised or this wire can be used to connect alarm to central
locking - an optional RHINO DLKACCEL MODULE is required when
connecting to vehicles that have existing central locking, or connect this wire to
PIN 8 on RHINO’s CLKACCEL Central Locking Kit Control Module.
BLUE -
This is a negative trigger input and should be connected to the output circuit wire
on any accessory to be used. (i.e. ultrasonic, microwave, or glass breaks, etc.)
VIOLET -
The alarm is fitted standard with current sensing. This feature 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. If removal of this feature is
necessary connect the violet wire to the red power wire (+12VDC).
THIN BLACK WIRE -
This is the antenna for the alarm. Do not cut. Optimum performance is achieved
where the antenna is simply hanging in as much free space as possible and away
from metal objects.
RED FROM LED -
Connect to constant +12VDC.
BLACK/RED FROM LED -
Connect to black/white wire from alarm.
