Detailed Feature Descriptions

Auto Immobilise

The immobiliser will always automatically activate 38 seconds after the ignition is turned off no matter what. The dash
mounted LED will come on constantly to confirm the system has entered auto immobilise mode. The vehicle cannot be
started now unless the remote is pressed first. When disarming, if you do not switch the ignition on within 38 seconds, the
immobiliser will also enter auto immobilise mode again. If you take longer than 38 seconds to exit your car & press the
remote thinking you are locking it, in fact you will actually be just turning the immobiliser off temporarily & leaving your car
unlocked. You must in this instance press your remote a second time to lock your vehicle.

Automatic re-arm & relock (Programmable)

This feature prevents accidental disarming by the owner i.e. the owner turns the immobiliser off but is then distracted and
forgets that they have deactivated the system. If a door is not opened or ignition turned on within 60 seconds from when
the system is turned off by the remote, the system will fully re-arm & re-lock the vehicle.
Note: The immobiliser will enter auto immobilise mode after 38 seconds (the LED will come on constantly to indicate the
vehicle is immobilised). At the 60-second mark, the system will fully arm & the doors will lock – the blinkers will flash once
& the siren will beep once & the LED will start flashing.

Door Ajar Warning (Programmable)

If the vehicles doors are not properly closed when you try to activate your immobiliser system, the indicators will flash and
the siren will beep for 3 seconds to alert you that the vehicle is not secure.

Timed Headlight Delay (Optional connection by installer at extra cost)

You can have your car headlights turn on automatically for 15 seconds when you arm the immobiliser by remote control.
This may allow you for instance to see your way to your front door, or out of a dark car park. You can turn the lights off
before the 15-second period ends by pressing the left button on your remote.

Perimeter Night Light (Programmable)

When this feature is on, the indicators will stay on constantly for 20 seconds on disarm, or until the ignition is turned on.
This allows for illumination around the vehicle at night.

Dome Light Extension (Programmable)

The dome (interior) light comes on automatically when the system is disarmed via remote, enabling the owner to verify
the vehicle is safe inside. The light stays on for 20 seconds, or until the ignition is turned on. The dome (interior) light also
comes on automatically when the ignition is turned off, enabling the owner to quickly gather belongings before exiting the
car. The light stays on for 20 seconds, or until the system is armed via remote, or until the ignition is turned on again.
NOTE: If you activate the Automatic Rearm & Relock Feature, this feature will be disabled.

Glass Break Sensor

The RES4601A with the addition of a special cabin microphone incorporates intelligent glass break sensing circuitry. This
inbuilt device will trigger the alarm system, provided it registers the correct sound frequency parameters for breaking
glass & that the impact sensor also registers a corresponding vibration to the vehicle. This ensures accurate detection of
glass breakage.

5

Door Lock On Ignition (Programmable)

If you have central locking connected, when this feature is on the doors will lock when the ignition is turned to on, and
unlock when the ignition is turned to off. This is to prevent anyone but occupants in the vehicle from being able to open
the doors.

Pre-Alert (2 Stage) Car Body Impact Warning with ETS™

This special feature provides a two-stage impact sensing system. It gives the security conscious owner a sensitive car
body impact sensor that will give a potential thief prior warning that the vehicle is protected by this most formidable alarm
system. On detection of a low level impact i.e. from a tyre kick, the siren will simply beep for a few seconds to warn away
the would-be thief. If the vehicle is attacked any further, the system will move into full siren mode. The unique ETS™
Environment Tuned Sensor is able to distinguish between environmental shocks caused by aircraft, trucks, or extreme
weather conditions, and the impact caused by any thief attempting to break in or other heavy impacts. Furthermore the
system features the unique Rhino "Auto Adjust” process, where during the 45 sec. arming delay, the alarm samples the
background noise where the vehicle is parked, and will if necessary automatically reduce the sensitivity of the impact
sensor to an appropriate level. This process allows a trouble free sensitivity that ordinary alarms simply cannot provide.
The sensitivity level reference point can be adjusted to suit your particular needs. Please refer to the programming section
contained later in this manual.

Auto Bypass

Auto bypass is designed to reduce false alarms caused by faulty switches or external sensors. If the alarm is triggered 3
times by the same sector then the particular sector will be bypassed. (i.e. the sector will become inactive.) The sector will
only be bypassed for one arming period. The next time the system is armed the sector that was bypassed will become
active again.
