Additional Wiring Information (Automotive - RCXi)
20cm WHITE WIRE - This is the antenna wire. Do not cut. This wire must be as straight
as possible and kept away from metal surfaces as much as
possible.
RED WIRE(s)
- Connect to constant fused +12 Volt DC supply (minimum 15
Amps) i.e. Has +12V when the ignition is turned off, via fuse
box. WARNING: Do not connect power to the red wire until the
green and yellow wires are fully insulated. If the red power wire
touches the green or yellow wire, damage will be caused to the
central lock outputs. This is not covered under warranty.
BLACK WIRE - Negative Ground. Connect this wire to the chassis or a point on
the vehicle’s body. Ensure that any paint is removed for a good
connection. You may also wire directly to the negative terminal
on the car's battery.
GREEN WIRE - Negative pulse Unlock (1 second pulse). For use with central
locking. (If fitted). Refer to diagrams page 15 & 16.*
YELLOW WIRE - Negative pulse Lock (1 second pulse). For use with central
locking. (If fitted). Refer to diagrams page 15 & 16.*
ORANGE - Negative Flash output. Connect to the white wire with black trace
on the special pre-wired relay supplied. One flash for lock, two
for unlock.
BROWN - Connect to a relay (not supplied) to drive a boot release motor.
(150mA maximum rating)
BLUE WIRE - This wire is a negative out when armed. (150mA maximum
rating) Connect to the 40Amp Changeover Relay (supplied with
RCXi) to isolate a circuit in the vehicle when the system is
armed. Can also be used to trigger an electric window lift
interface (Rhino part: GLU400) if required. IMPORTANT: Do
not short this wire to 12V. Solder this wire to number 85 on the
immobilisation/cutout relay.
WHITE WIRE - Connect to the negative wire (blue/green) from the LED. Connect
the positive side (red) of the LED supplied, directly to the fused
+12V supply. (The RCXi has a 1k resistor built into this output)
ORANGE X 2
(From indicator relay)
Connect one orange wire to the left positive and one orange wire
to the right positive indicator circuits in the vehicle.
DIODE - Solder the diode between the blue wire from the module and one
side of the override switch (refer to the diagram), with the band
on the diode closest to the module. Diode part: 1N5404
IGNITION WIRE
FROM VEHICLE
- The ignition wire is usually located under the steering column of
the vehicle. This wire must be +12V only when the vehicles key
switch is at the ignition position, and must not fall to 0 volt when
the engine is cranked. Strip a section of this wire and solder a
wire onto the bared section. Solder the other end of this wire to
number 86 on the relay.
STARTER / FUEL
PUMP WIRE FROM
VEHICLE
- The starter wire is usually located under the steering column of
the vehicle. This wire must be +12 Volts only when the vehicle is
being started. Cut this wire and the vehicle should not start. If the
vehicle does start then you have cut the wrong wire. Solder the
starter motor side to number 30 on the relay. Solder the other end
to number 87a on the relay. Disable only fuel pump or starter
motor if vehicle is not EFI. Rhino does not recommend cutting
the vehicle’s ignition wire from the key barrel.
