    CQ SERIES ACCESSORY

    Simple, reliable remote sequencing control.

    Extend control of your CQ Series power sequencing system to a secure, convenient location. The RC5 provides a dedicated remote trigger and a clear, at-a-glance status monitor for your entire power-up or power-down sequence. Installation is simplified with an 8-wire cable with RJ-45 connector that provides both control signal and operating power directly from the host CQ unit, eliminating the need for a separate power supply or complex wiring.

    The rack-mount RC5 is available with keyswitch, rotary switch, or keypad interfaces, allowing integrators to specify the exact control type required for any venue, from a secure equipment room to a public-facing control panel.

    FAQ

    FAQs about the RC5 Remote Control

    Can I use multiple RC5 controllers on one CQ system?

    Yes, you can control a single CQ sequencer or system from up to three different locations by using the RCDM3 Remote Control Combiner accessory. This allows for flexible control point placement.

    Does the RC5 need its own power outlet?

    No, the RC5 does not require an external power supply or separate power outlet. It draws all necessary operating power directly from the CQ Series unit it is connected to via the RJ-45 cable.

    How does the RC5 connect to a CQ sequencer?

    The RC5 connects to any CQ Series sequencer using a single, standard RJ-45 network patch cable. This one cable handles both the control signals and provides power to the RC5 unit.

    Is there a wall-mounted version of the RC5?

    Yes. The RC5 is available in both rack mount (RM) and wall mount (WM) versions to fit different installation requirements. The wall mount versions are designed to fit in a standard gang box.

    What is the difference between the keyswitch and rotary switch models?

    The keyswitch models (RC5-RM, RC5-WM) are designed for security, requiring a key to operate the power sequence. The rotary switch models (RC5RM-RS, RC5WM-RS) offer convenient, unrestricted access for operation.
