Rhino II Configuration
Startup/Shutdown Modes
The Rhino II has 3 modes of controlling Startup and Shutdown. The
mode is set by commands in the "\Utilities\UtilConfig.cfg" file. Each
mode controls how the Ignition Sense power connector wire (IGN)
and the Rhino II’s front panel Power button (PWR) work together. In
the default mode (mode 1), IGN must be at a voltage greater than 10
VDC and PWR must be pressed and held for a specified period to
power up the VMC. Shutting down in this mode may be
accomplished by removing the positive voltage from IGN or pressing
the PWR button, either must be for a specified time to shutdown.
The other common mode (mode 0) allows IGN or PWR to control the
Startup/Shutdown. In this mode connecting IGN to positive voltage
will power up the VMC, and disconnecting it will power down.
Similarly powering up via PWR then pressing PWR again will power
back down. If using PWR to control the VMC in this mode, IGN
should NOT be switched or tied to + power. When using this mode
you should either be exclusively using IGN to control the VMC, or
PWR but not mixing the two.
NOTE: If the VMC is powered up via IGN, but powered down via PWR,
it will immediately begin to power back up.
The final mode (mode 3) is seldom used. In this mode, the VMC will
power up anytime there is power applied. Both IGN and PWR are
ignored in this state.
