Follow these instructions carefully. The ’s current capability is higher HINO than Rhino. Failure to follow these settings can result in damage to the scooter or serious injury to the user. Before you start! Make sure that you have a copy of the R 2 Installation Manual at hand.
A separately available aluminium terminal cover provides increased protection to IP55 when fitted Compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 Jan. 2003 – restrictions on use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Optional single actuator output (with Wig-wag or dedicated switch activation).

Procedure The procedure for swapping a Rhino system to a R 2 system involves both adapting the cabling, HINO and programming some specific parameters. A summary is outlined below: Step 1 – Capture the Rhino’s existing profile Step 2 – Replace the Rhino controller with the...
Step 1 – Capture the existing Rhino’s profile Connect the existing Rhino system to a PC or laptop, and with the Wizard application, read the existing Rhino’s configuration profile. You will use some of the existing configured parameters to set up the R 2 controller in later steps.

Set R 2 Throttle Input (4.4.2.2) to “Single”. HINO Set Throttle Neutral Offset based on Rhino’s Speed Pot Neutral setting. Please see Throttle Neutral Offset (page 20) for more information. Note: Use the HHP to calibrate the unit instead of setting a value manually, see 'Throttle calibration' in section 4.1.1.3 of the RHINO2 Installation Manual for details.
Set up park brake management parameters Set R 2 Park Brake Testing (4.4.6.1) to “Driving” if the Rhino’s PB Open Circuit Drive Test HINO is set to “Yes”, otherwise, set it to “Pre-drive”. DO NOT set it to “None” as this will contravene an ISO7176 requirement.
16. Test all other hardware fitted. 17. Repeat testing until the scooter performs as expected. This is for guidance only. Low-current controllers may not be able to handle a 1:6 ramp at full load. Rhino to RHINO2 Conversion Guide Page 16...
Further information Programming The Rhino can be programmed by simply plugging in the DS-HHP or Wizard cable directly into the round 5-pin programming connector socket on the Rhino DS52Kx, DS72K, DS72KA, DS112Kx or DS162Kx (the DS72KSPx is an exception). For programming the R...
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 Speed Reduction The Rhino has a Reduce Speed input, also known as the Turn input, which is pin 6 of its Logic connector. When asserted, this causes the speed demand to be limited to the value of Reduce Speed unless the Forward Speed or Reverse Speed parameter (depending on the direction of travel) already has a lower value.
Reverse Speed is lower than the corresponding Forward Speed to reduce the risk of the front wheels lifting when decelerating while reversing down a slope. Note that in the Rhino controllers, there is only one Acceleration rate and one Deceleration rate, but these rates are affected by the maximum speed in the Forward or Reverse direction so the effective Reverse Deceleration is automatically reduced with the Reverse Speed.

Previous versions of Rhino used an integer range 0 – 255 to represent a voltage range 0 – 5V, where the value 128 would represent the centre position: Values either side of 128 indicated a voltage offset of 19.6mV per step. For example, if Speed Pot Neutral was set to 129, then this represented a +19.6mV offset, that is:...
