ABOUT YOUR ALARM PANEL
Introduction
Your alarm system consists of a self-contained control panel which is connected to the mains
power supply and various detection devices that communicate with the control panel via the
Rhino proprietary wireless protocol. The control panel will normally be installed where it is most
convenient for the user. Please read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on
your system’s operation. Become familiar with the features that have been implemented on your
system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use.
About this Manual
This manual provides a thorough explanation of all system functions that are available to the
master user, including troubleshooting and programming user access codes in addition to
performing basic system functions. Standard users of the system will not need to know all of this
information. The section “Operating your Alarm System” explains general operating procedures for
arming and disarming the system. The remaining sections of the manual are reserved for more
detailed system information.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information to a control
room. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the control room to prevent an
unnecessary response.
Your installer must enable the monitoring function before it will work.
Zones and Areas
A zone is an area of protection that has one or more detection devices connected to it (motion
detectors, glass-break detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). A single zone might be a room, a
hallway or a door or window. One or more zones can be assigned to areas thus allowing each area
to armed and disarmed independently from each other.
Access Codes
The Rhino 232 control panel can have up to a total of 20 users. User 00 is the engineer and cannot
be accessed by the normal users. As a user of the alarm system, you will be assigned a 4, 5 or 6
digit access code. Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. Some access codes can
perform additional system functions, such as programming system options, bypassing zones and
performing system tests. Your access code may not allow you to access certain system functions.
For instance, if your code is only allowed to arm the system you will not be able to disarm the
system, once the system is armed.
