Rhino to RHINO2 Conversion Guide
Page 18
The wiring of the industry-standard XLR battery charger
connector is:
o
Pin 1 = Battery Positive
o
Pin 2 = Battery Negative
o
Pin 3 = Inhibit
The battery charger plug should be wired so that pin 3 (Inhibit) is linked to pin 2 (Battery Negative).
When properly wired and configured, plugging in the external battery charger will automatically
inhibit driving, as required by ISO7176.
Logic connector
Beeper Output
Some Rhino controllers can be programmed so that the "beeper" output (pin 5 of the 8-pin
Logic connector) performs a Brake Light function or a Reverse Light function. If this option is
used and the Rhino needs to be replaced by a
R
HINO
2
, we recommend using pin 11 rather
than pin 3 for this function. However if an adaptor loom is used, then pin 3 will need to be
used, and programmed for the Brake or Reverse Light option. If the Rhino has been
programmed so that the "beeper" output functions as both a Brake Light output and a
Reverse Light output, then equivalent functionality can be achieved by using both pin 3 and
pin 11 of the
R
HINO
2
and programming one to be a Brake Light output and the other to be a
Reverse Light output. If necessary, pins 3 and 11 can be wired together so that the same
lights operate as both Brake Lights and Reverse Lights.
Speed Reduction Wiper
Some Rhino controllers (DS52K, DS72KB, DS112KB, DS162K, and DS162KD) support an
analogue speed-limit potentiometer wired between pin 6 of the 8-pin Logic connector and
Battery Negative. For the
R
HINO
2
, this functionality is called
Speed Reduction Wiper
(see
R
HINO
2 Installation Manual
4.4.3.15
) and is available only on pin 4 of the 14-way tiller head
connector; the analogue speed-limit potentiometer should be wired between this pin and
Battery Negative.
The Rhino DS72KSP supports a 100kΩ speed potentiometer wired across the main throttle
(Wig-Wag) potentiometer. The
R
HINO
2
controllers support this as well, and if this feature is
required, then the wiper of the speed potentiometer should be wired to pin 9 of the
R
HINO
2
's 14-way tiller head connector. The parameter
Speed Limit Pot
(see
R
HINO
2
Installation Manual
4.4.2.11
) should be set to "Yes" if this feature is required.
Forward-reverse input
Pin 7 of the Rhino's Logic connector is normally the Forward-Reverse input (except for the
DS72KA where it is the Actuator Select input). We recommend using pin 12 of the
R
HINO
2
's
tiller head connector for the equivalent function and programming it to be either a
Reverse
Note
: The
R
HINO
2
can be programmed to perform a battery charger inhibit function on the
other 3 secondary input pins of the 14-pin tiller head connector, but we do not recommend
this option as these pins do not support the programming communications.
Note that pin 3 is
the centre pin.
