ABOUT THE RC SERIES
Simple, reliable remote control for CQ sequencers.
The RC Series provides dedicated, hard-wired control interfaces for initiating power up or down sequences on CQ Series products from any location.
RC Series accessories offer convenient and economical control for LynTec’s CQ Series power sequencing products. Available in rack-mount and wall-mount form factors, these units provide physical interfaces like key switches, rotary switches, or simple push buttons for secure sequence activation. All RC controllers are phantom powered via a standard RJ45 connection to a CQ device, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for local power.
For applications requiring control from multiple points, such as a stage, a control booth, and a manager’s office, the RC-DM3 combiner allows up to three RC-5 remote units to operate a single system seamlessly. This provides a robust, plug-and-play solution for distributed control without complex programming.
WHY IT MATTERS
Engineered for simple, dependable control.
01
Seamless integration with the CQ Series ecosystem.
RC accessories connect to CQ sequencers using a standard RJ45 cable. This single connection provides both control signaling and operating power, dramatically simplifying wiring and reducing installation time.
02
Secure, physical control from multiple locations.
Choose from key-activated, rotary switch, or push-button models to match security needs. The RC-DM3 combiner module allows up to three remote stations to control a single sequencing system for distributed control points.
03
Reliable operation independent of network status.
As a hard-wired control solution, the RC Series provides dependable sequence activation that is not reliant on a network connection. This ensures critical power commands are always executed, even during a network outage.
FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Common questions about RC Series remote controls and accessories.
Can I control a single CQ sequencer from multiple locations?
Yes. For applications requiring control from several points, such as a stage, a control booth, and a manager’s office, the RC-DM3 combiner module is the solution. It allows up to three separate RC-5 remote units to operate a single CQ sequencing system.
The RC-DM3 automatically prioritizes the most recent command it receives, ensuring seamless operation from any connected station without complex programming or control conflicts.
Can RC controls integrate with a fire alarm system?
Yes, integration with emergency systems is possible using the RC-DM3 combiner. It includes a dedicated terminal for a normally open (N.O.) dry contact, which can be connected to a fire alarm or other life safety system. When this contact is triggered, the RC-DM3 forces an automated, orderly power-down sequence for all connected equipment, enhancing venue safety.
Do RC remote controls depend on a network connection to operate?
No. The RC Series is a hard-wired control solution that operates independently of any IP network. This ensures that critical power up and down sequences can always be executed, even if the building’s data network is offline. This provides a robust and reliable layer of control for essential systems.
How are RC Series remote controls wired and powered?
RC Series accessories are engineered for simple installation. They connect to a LynTec CQ Series sequencer using a single, standard RJ45 cable. This connection provides both control signaling and operating power, as the RC units are phantom powered directly by the CQ device. This design eliminates the need for a local power supply at the control location, simplifying wiring and reducing installation costs.
How can I control a single CQ system from multiple locations?
The RC-DM3 Remote Control Combiner is designed for this purpose. It allows you to connect up to three separate remote control stations to a single CQ sequencing system. The module automatically prioritizes the most recent command, preventing control conflicts without any required configuration. This is ideal for venues needing control from a stage, a control booth, and a back office.
What are my options for remotely controlling a CQ sequencing system?
The CQ ecosystem includes a range of hard-wired remote controls. You can integrate secure, key-locked wall controls like the RC5-WM, rack-mount remotes, or multi-point control combiners. These accessories connect easily using standard RJ-45 cables and draw power directly from the CQ unit, which simplifies wiring and reduces system complexity.
What types of physical controls are available in the RC Series?
The RC Series offers several interface options to match different operational and security needs. Models are available with secure key-activated switches, simple push buttons for general use, or multi-position rotary switches. These controls come in both wall-mount and rack-mount form factors for flexible installation in any venue.
Which LynTec products are compatible with the RC Series?
The RC Series is an accessory ecosystem designed exclusively for use with LynTec’s CQ Series of power sequencers. They are not compatible with other LynTec product families like RPC, RPCR, or NPAC. Each RC device connects directly to the dedicated remote port on a CQ sequencer or via an RC-DM3 combiner.
