RHINO II/SH BLACKLINE
CONFIGURATION
STARTUP/SHUTDOWN MODES
The Rhino II/SH Blackline 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 VMC’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 volt
-
age from IGN or pressing the PWR button, either must be for a specified time to shut
-
down.
The other common mode (mode 0) allows IGN or PWR to control the Startup/Shut
-
down. In this mode connecting IGN to positive voltage will power up the VMC, and dis
-
connecting 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 immedi
-
ately 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.
When the VMC is being powered down by IGN, it will typically display a countdown
screen advising the user the remaining time before the terminal shuts down. The shut
-
down time as well as whether the countdown is displayed are both controlled by the
configuration file.
