RC5-KPA and RC5-KPS
Remote Control & Monitor
Operating Manual
The Juice Goose RC5-KP is a remote control and operations monitor for the Juice Goose
CQ Series line of power sequencing products. For information not contained in this manual, please see product literature or operations manuals for any CQ Series Product.
The RC5-KP will control and monitor any CQ Series product. It features:
o Sequence Up and Sequence Down Function
o Indicator Lights for Sequence Completion
DISCLAIMER: Juice Goose shall under no circumstances be held responsible for any
loss, damage or injury resulting directly or indirectly from the use of the RC5 in a manner
inconsistent with safe and proper operating procedures and/or with this documentation.
The user should determine prior to use whether the Juice Goose RC5 is adequate, suitable
or safe for the application intended. Since individual applications can be subject to extreme variation, Juice Goose makes no representation or guarantee as to the suitability of
the RC5 for any specific application.
INSTALLATION
The RC5-KP requires no external power supply. It fits inside a single gang switch box,
intended to be mounted in a wall or similar location. The front panel fits a “Decora” style
faceplate.
SEQUENCE SIGNAL LINE CONNECTION
Sequence signal line output from the RC5-KP is accomplished by way of eight wire, RJ45 type cable (similar to CAT5).
NOTE: The RJ connector on one end of this cable should be upside down from the
connector on the other end of the cable. When the connectors are placed end to end,
the colors of the wire strands in the cable should match. When placed side to side
they should mirror each other. Pin #1 on the CQ Input is Pin #8 on the Output.
According to the following diagram, when the connectors on both ends of the cable
are placed end to end, the colors should match when viewed from left to right. This
assembly process conforms to standard teleco, rather than Ethernet, configuration.

Once the cable has been assembled, it may connect the RC-5 and the CQ Series unit
which will be controlled by the RC-5. There is no known functional distance limit between an RC-5 and a CQ Series device. The CQ Series system operates by creating a low
voltage, DC current loop between CQ Series units. It is not sensitive to minor voltage
fluctuations along this line. It is neither sensitive to nor does it create high frequency
transmissions. Therefore, this wire may be run along any desired path, subject to any
local wiring codes. Once the cable has been attached to the modular connectors, the cable
may join the RC5-KP and the CQ Series unit which will be controlled by the RC5-KP.
ENABLING THE MONITOR
In order to enable the Sequence Up and Sequence Down complete LEDs of the RC5-KP,
a “Terminator” (provided with the RC5-KP) must be installed in the Signal Output connector of the last CQ Series product in the system. Simply snap the Terminator into the
Output connector of the last CQ Series product in the system.
OPERATION
Power sequencer overview:
Juice Goose CQ Series products (compatible with the RC5-KP) are designed to provide
“plug-and-play” convenience for AC power control, used primarily for audio systems.
General features:
The RC5-KP power sequence controller is a microprocessor-based accessory product that
provides key-less remote control when connected to one CQ Series power sequencing
module. Functions of the RC5-KP are proprietary and not of use with other applications.
This product uses a three button key pad for either analog (RC5-KPA) or coded, secure
(RC5-KPS) operation.
Indicator LEDs show function and status of the power sequence Up or Down process.
The appropriate LED will blink while a sequence Up or Down operation is in process
and stay lighted when that process is completed.
