CQ 1(TM)

“Qiwi”

In Wall

Remote Power Control Module

General Description

The Juice Goose CQ 1, along with the other products in the
CQ Series, provides a versatile and powerful means of re­motely activating AC power in a sequenced array for appli­cation to both sensitive and high amperage equipment.

CQ Series products need no additional controllers. Each contains the timing and communications cir­cuitry for plug-and-play use in coordination with other CQ devices.

Installation and Function

The CQ 1 is a 15 amp hardwire model featuring two AC power receptacles. This single sequence device
can be a stand-alone remote control module or can be included with a more extensive power sequenc­ing system. It consists of a three gang front panel and two gang back box that contains a duplex recep­tacle along with all circuitry and connectors needed to integrate the CQ 1 into a larger power control net­work. For convenience, Juice Goose provides a three gang wall box along with each CQ 1. One space
in that box is needed for AC wire connections. If preferred, most standard three gang enclosures can be
substituted for the one provided. Installation is quick and easy. Operation is plug-and-play simple and
requires no programming or settings.

All CQ products are controlled by way of an eight wire, RJ-45, cable link to another CQ Series device or
controller. Each CQ has a Sequence Signal Input and Output connector on the chassis. This communi-

cation link allows the plug-and-play CQ 1 to be installed at any point in a power sequencing system and
act automatically in coordination with other CQ modules. There is no limit to the number of CQ devices
that can be connected in this manner and no practical limit to the distances between them.

A sequenced array of CQ Series products can be controlled and the initial turn on or turn off command
can be provided by the first CQ module in the series, by a Juice Goose RC-5 accessory or by a latching
contact closure provided by a single pole switch, a relay or by controllers from Crestron, AMX and other
manufacturers.

The Qiwi fits in a standard two
gang wall enclosure. It ships
with a three gang front plate
and wall box. The third enclo­sure space is required for AC
wire termination. RJ 45 cable
terminations are with standard
male connectors which mate
with receptacles on the Qiwi
circuit board.

Application and Advantage

The CQ 1 provides economical and practical power control for a single duplex AC receptacle. Now,
there’s no need for expensive motorized breakers or visible power control boxes that mount on the out­side of the wall.

The CQ 1 can be installed in a wall or ceiling to bring the convenience of autonomous power sequenc­ing to non rack mounted installations. This power module works well with remote mounted powered
speakers, video monitors, lights or any other load totaling fifteen amps or less that can be turned on
and off as part of a larger power management system. Because the Qiwi fits in a two gang wall space,
it also fits in floor boxes or wall enclosures behind digital signage or video monitors.
