Features
The Rhino Wireless Keypad is designed for use with any product that can currently utilise Rhino
Code Hopping Remote Controls. The WKP can replicate the function of any of the individual
buttons on nay Rhino Code Hopping Remote Control (up to 7 channels). The Wireless Keypad
offers the security of a user-programmable 4 Digit PIN number.
The Rhino WKP is designed primarily for the following applications:
• Prevents unauthorised use due to loss of remote controls.
• Where the added security of a PIN number is required to activate the system, with the
added ability to easily change the PIN number at any time i.e. when staff are terminated.
• For use with hardwired alarm systems where it is impossible or not cost effective to run a
keypad to the preferred customer’s keypad location. Using a low cost Rhino Receiver with a
WKP is a perfect solution in this case.
Note: No function that requires a button to be held can currently be replicated by the WKP.

Operation
Activating the Wireless Keypad
The Wireless Keypad is first activated by pressing the ‘#’ key. A single beep tone will be sounded
to indicate the keypad is active, and the LED lights behind the buttons will also switch on.
The Wireless Keypad will be automatically deactivated if no keys are pressed within three seconds.
Changing User PIN
From factory, your Wireless Keypad is supplied with a unique Master Code. This code is required
when changing the User PIN for the first time. The Master Code can be found on the front cover of
this manual, as well as on a small sticker on the rear of your WKP. For security purposes, remove
this sticker from the WKP once you have programmed in your own User PIN number.

Example:
If your master code is “0000” and you wish to have a User PIN “1234”.
Master Code: 0000 New User PIN: 1234
Key Description
‘#’ This activates the keypad.
“0000” Enter the master code or the current user PIN.
‘#’ To enter “new PIN programming mode”.
“1234” Enter the new PIN.
“1234” Enter the new PIN again.
Long beep, backlight off Confirms the new PIN has been usefully accepted.
Please Note: After a new PIN has been programmed, the Master Code will still remain functional -
this is in case you ever forget your chosen PIN. Please store this manual which contains your
Master Code on the cover page in a safe place.
Learning in the Wireless Keypad
In order for the receiver to recognize the Wireless Keypad, the receiver must learn the keypad into
its memory. Learning the Keypad can be done in the same way when you learn a new remote
control for you receiver. For information on how to learn in a new remote control, please refer to
the Instruction Manual of your receiver. Instructions for programming a WKP into a Rhino
Watchguard Wireless Home Alarm are contained on this page as a ready reference.
Programming A WKP To Work With Your Watchguard Wireless Home Alarm System
TO ADD A WIRELESS KEYPAD FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
Step
Procedure
1.
Press 1 time
Disarm the system (if it is not already disarmed) with an original
remote control by pressing Button 2. You do not need to enter
programming mode.
2.

3.
Siren beeps 9 times
The main unit will beep 9 times to confirm you are adding a new
remote control or wireless keypad.
4.
Activate Channel 2.
As soon as the beeps finish, activate Channel 2 on your WKP.
5.
Activate Channel 1
to test.
The Wireless Keypad is now programmed into your Watchguard
Alarm. To confirm this, activate channel 1 from the WKP to check
that it arms the system.
If the system does not arm, begin this procedure again from the
start.
Transmission
The Wireless Keypad is equipped with seven (7) RF channels. These channels duplicate the
function of any Rhino RCTX Series Code Hopping Remote Control.

The transmission of each channel can be triggered by firstly activating the keypad with either the
Master Code or the user PIN.
To transmit, press the hash (‘#’) key then enter either the user PIN or master code, and then simply
select the channel number that is to be used for transmission. The valid channels are channel one
to channel seven (1-7).
A successful transmission is confirmed with a long beep. The button backlighting will turn off
immediately after the transmission.
Example:
If your user PIN is “1234” and you wish to transmit channel 2.
User PIN: 1234 Transmit: Channel 2
Key Description
‘#’ This activates the keypad.
“1234” Enter the Master Code or the user PIN.
‘2’ Transmitting channel 2.
Long beep, backlight off Confirms transmission has occurred.
Function of Each Button
Numerical Buttons:
The Numerical Buttons are labeled with numbers from ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘*’ and ‘#’; they can be use
for selecting transmission channels and pin numbers.
Activation Key:
The Activation Key is labeled with the “hash” character ‘#’. You press this key first when you
wish to use the Wireless Keypad. This illuminates the keypad buttons, and advises the keypad to
be ready to accept a PIN code.
Backlit Keys:
The Wireless Keypad is equipped with LED backlighting, allowing you to read the buttons
even if the room is dark.

Battery Replacement
Your Rhino Wireless Keypad is powered by long-life lithium batteries. The batteries are expected
to last up to one year in the average home environment. The Wireless Keypad is capable of
audibly indicating when the batteries need replacing by generating two low tone beeps (instead of
normal single high tone beep) when the hash ‘#’ key is pressed to wake it up. When this occurs,
replace the batteries as soon as possible.
The Wireless Keypad uses two CR2025 type lithium cell batteries. Using incorrect batteries will
damage the device, and will not be covered under warranty.
Replacement Procedure:
Open the case:
To replace the batteries, the first step is to open the case of the Wireless Keypad. The case
of the keypad can simply be prised open up by gently inserting the
flat blade of a small screwdriver (or tip of a knife) into the small notch
in the bottom of the case (see picture right). Once the halves are
separated, the circuit board and the metallic battery compartment should be visible. Please only
hold the circuit board by its edges, to prevent any damage to the electronic components.
Remove the old batteries:
The old batteries can be removed by pushing them out of the compartment using a non-
metallic object.
Insert the new batteries:
The Wireless Keypad uses two batteries. Whenever replacement is needed, both batteries
must be replaced at the same time. When inserting the new batteries, make sure both batteries
are orientated correctly; that is both batteries placed on top of one another, with the positive (‘+’)
sides face up. See illustration below:
