with Engine Immobilisation
Build Date:
A.C.N 001 621 610
SYDNEY / AUSTRALIA
TO ARM/DISARM ALARM
The alarm is activated by pressing the button on the remote control transmitter once. The blinkers
will flash once, and the siren will beep once. The dash LED-light will stay on for 20 seconds then flash,
THE ALARM IS NOW ON.
1
To deactivate the alarm, press the button again. The blinkers will flash twice and the siren will beep
twice. THE ALARM IS NOW OFF.
If the siren is sounding, and you wish to disarm, the first press will cancel the siren - the system will
then return to an armed state. A second press is required to fully turn the alarm off. The blinkers will flash twice and
the siren will beep twice. THE ALARM IS NOW OFF.
Note: If power is removed from the alarm system, i.e. when replacing your car battery, the alarm will automatically
enter armed mode when power is restored.
ALARM TRIGGER
When triggered, the siren will sound for 30 seconds and then will automatically rearm. If the alarm has been triggered
in your absence, the dash LED will be flashing twice as fast as normal when you return to your vehicle.
EMERGENCY PANIC BUTTON
The panic feature is activated by pressing & holding the button on the remote control transmitter for 3 seconds. The
system will arm or disarm first depending on what state it was in. The siren will then sound & the blinkers will flash for
30 seconds. To cancel “panic”, follow disarm procedure as desribed above.
NOTE: Panic does not work when the ignition is on by requirement of Australian Law (EPA-Environmental Protection
Authority).
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES:
AUTOMATIC RE-ARM : 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, or the ignition is not
turned on within 30 seconds 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.
SILENT OPERATION : This feature when turned on, stops the siren from beeping for arm & disarm confirmation, and
from sounding on alarm trigger i.e. only the blinkers will flash.
LEARNING REMOTES (Up to 6 remotes can be used with this alarm system)
Before entering this mode,make sure you have all remotes present that you wish yo utilise with this alarm system, as
the alarm automatically erases all remotes when you enter this mode.
A. While the system is disarmed, open and close your drivers door & sit in the vehicle.
B. Now, turn the car ignition key from the off position to the ignition on position 5 times within 15 seconds.
C. 5 seconds later, the siren will sound briefly to confirm that you have entered the remote learning mode. Repeat
steps A & B if you do not hear the confirmation.
D. Now press the button on the first remote you wish to learn in. The siren will sound briefly to confirm this code has
been learnt. Now press your second remote. The siren will sound briefly again to confirm this code has also been
learnt. Repeat this step for up to six remotes.
E. The system exits learning mode once it has received 6 remote codes - press one of your learnt remotes
repeatedly to fill up all coding locations if you do not have 6 remotes. The system will exit to disarmed mode.

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.
To turn on or turn off any feature use the following procedure: eg to enable silent arming.
1. Arm then disarm the alarm system.
2. Within 20 seconds of disarming, turn the ignition key to on.
3. Immediately after turning the ignition on, press the remote control button an equal
number of times to the selected feature’s code no. (eg 14 times for silent arming).
Leave a 2 sec. gap between each press.
4. Now turn the ignition to off.
5. The system will now confirm whether the feature has been turned on or off via visual
readout. One flash of the indicators means the feature is on. Two flashes means the
feature has been turned off.

DESCRIPTION
Voltage Drop (Current)
Sensing
8 ON If deactivated, this feature will prevent the
alarm triggering via sensing a drop in voltage in
the vehicle’s electrical system. This may be
necessary where engine thermo fans cut in
automatically or there are other accessories
active even when the ignition is turned off eg
fridges, car phones.
Auto Re-arm 10 ON If system is disarmed and a door is not opened,
or the ignition turned on within 30 seconds, the
system will rearm & relock. (where central
locking is connected)
Central Closure 12 OFF When on, the lock & unlock outputs become a
5 second negative pulse instead of 0.8
seconds. This feature is for certain vehicles
with vacuum central locking or those with a
central closure wire (some BMW, Mercedes) ie
doors lock, electric windows wind up, sunroof
closes automatically.
Silent Operation 14 OFF This feature when turned on, stops the siren
from beeping for arm & disarm confirmation,
and the siren from sounding on alarm trigger
i.e. only the blinkers will flash.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RHINO GL ALARM
RED -
Power. Connect to constant +12 volts via the fuse box at the point where the interior light circuit is
powered. Current (voltage) sensing will not work if this procedure is not followed.
BLACK -
Earth. Connect to a suitable earth on the car body.
BROWN (x2) -
Indicator Flash Wires.(Positive Output). Connect to the left and right indicator circuits of the vehicle.
GREY -
Ignition Input. Connect to a +12 volts ignition switched lead, which
does not fall to 0 volt when the engine is
cranked
YELLOW -
Negative Trigger Input. Connect to existing door switches, bonnet switch provided, or negative trigger wire
from optional car body impact sensor, ultrasonics, or microwave sensor. Please note: only negative switching
doors. If positive door switching - must use relays to reverse to negative - see diagram contained later in this
manual. If you a using more than one trigger device i.e. doors, bonnet, and impact sensor, then the 1 Amp
Diodes supplied must be used on each wire coming from each trigger input i.e.
PINK -
Positive Siren Trigger (1Amp max rating). This wires switches positive when the alarm is triggered. It also
pulses positive to make the siren beep. Connect to the red wire from the standard 12VDC siren supplied, or
to the yellow positive trigger input wire on the optional SBB Multi-Tone Backup Battery Siren.
BLUE/GREEN - Negative LED Output. Connect to the blue wire from the LED supplied. (Connect Red wire from LED to
+12VDC).
ORANGE - Negative on Disarm. This wire enables an effective engine immobilisation circuit to be configured with this
alarm. Use 40amp Changeover Relay provided as shown:
WHITE -
Positive Override Input. This wire needs to be connected to constant +12VDC via the override
toggle switch provided, to allow access to the security override mode:
If a customer loses a remote control, or it fails to disarm the alarm system, the following
procedure will disarm the alarm system.
1. Open & close the drivers door. (The siren will sound).
2. Sit inside the vehicle and turn on hidden toggle switch.
3. Within 30 seconds, turn the ignition from off to on 5 times.
