RC5 & RC-DM3

SEQUENCED POWER

CONTROL ACCESSORIES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The RC5 and RC-DM3 are optional remote control accessories, designed to function specifi­cally with the Juice Goose CQ Series of AC power sequencing and control products.

Four RC5 models are available to allow remote control and monitoring of the CQ Series AC
power system in a variety of security and
operational scenarios. Selection of a par­ticular RC5 model depends on specific secu­rity and convenience requirements. Key
switch activation limits access to only au­thorized personnel. Rotary switch activation
is available when security is not as big a
priority as convenience. All RC5 models
provide lighted indicators for system opera­tion and system status. Connection is as simple as snapping an RJ-45 cable with a connec­tor into the back of the RC5.

The RC-DM3 allows control and monitoring of a CQ Series system from three locations and
may be used as an automated emergency alarm shut down controller. The RC-DM3 coordi­nates commands from up to three RC5s. Which of the RC5s is active depends on which of
the remote controls was the last to be used. The RC-DM3 has three cable inputs, one for
each RC5, and one cable output for connection to a CQ Series product. It also has a two
position terminal on the back of the unit. Without a latched contact across that terminal
the RC-DM3 will initiate a command to sequence down the CQ Series system that it con­trols. Connecting this terminal to an emergency alarm trigger will integrate the CQ Series

system.

OPERATION

The optional RC5 may be used to control the sequence up, pause and se­quence down operations of the Juice Goose CQ Series product. Indicator
lights on the RC5 report the system activity and sequencing operation
completion. When the switch is in the center (“Pause“) position, an indica­tor light reports the status of the signal line connection throughout the
CQ system.

it is connected. The rack mount RC-DM3 requires connection to a 120VAC power source. In
a typical CQ system the RC5 will be connected to the first CQ device in a chain of sequenc­ing products. Use of the RC5 will be the initial step in activating the system. Using an RC­DM3, one control point may be at the “front-of-house” while a second is at an on-stage lo­cation and a third is elsewhere. The system can be sequenced up or sequenced down from
any location, regardless of where the previous control was initiated.

The RC5 is available in rack or wall mount designs. It requires no secon­dary power supply. Power is supplied by the CQ Series product to which

CONTROL LINE CONNECTION

The RC5, RC-DM3 and all CQ products can be easily connected by way of 8 wire (RJ-45)
modular cable. Each CQ has a Sequence Signal Input and Output connector on the chassis.
This communication link allows any CQ device to be installed at any stage in a power se­quencing system and act as a power sequencer or controller. There is no limit to the number
of CQ devices that can be connected in this manner.

A signal line run from an RC5 should be connected to the Input connector on a CQ Series
product. When two or three RC5s are required, each will be connected to a separate Input
connector on a rack mounted RC-DM3. An additional signal line will run from the Output con­nector of the RC-DM3 to the Input connector of the first CQ Series product.
