Yes. The SCP panelboard is designed to accommodate both motorized breakers for remote control and standard Square-D QO breakers for circuits that do not require automation. This allows you to create a single-panel solution for all your power distribution needs.
Yes. LC Series panels are engineered for flexibility. You can mix DMX-controlled motorized breakers with standard, non-controlled breakers in the same enclosure. This allows you to create a cost-effective solution that provides direct DMX control only for the specific circuits that require it, such as non-dimmed fixtures, work lights, or practicals.
Yes, LCP panels can be specified with optional, factory-installed surge protection modules. We offer integrated SurgeX or SPD modules that fit directly into the panelboard enclosure.
This provides a robust, coordinated protection solution for all connected lighting and video wall circuits, simplifying the electrical design and installation while safeguarding sensitive downstream equipment.
No. Circuit breakers have widely varying trip responses depending on their intended use. For most audio power amplifiers you need breakers with a HM rating. The High Magnetic rating allows a substantial inrush current, about double, for the first 100 milliseconds to eliminate nuisance trips. Nuisance trips are common on circuit breakers not rated for High Magnetic duty. For instance, a standard Square D QO120 breaker will trip with as little as 120 amps in the first cycle compared to 240 amps for a QO120HM. In Square D, the HM rating is only available for 15 and 20 amp breakers. The 30 amp QO breakers sustain inrush currents of 300 amps for the first 10 cycles @ 60 Hz, sufficient to light up most of the largest power amplifiers without nuisance tripping.
Networking & Integration
View all 67 →Yes, our intelligent panels are designed for multi-protocol environments. Products like the RPC, LCP, and NPAC can respond to DMX, sACN, IP (Telnet/HTTP), and dry contact closure inputs simultaneously. This allows for a layered control strategy. For example, you can use DMX for show-specific cues from a lighting console, an IP-based system for building automation, and a contact closure for a simple wall switch or fire alarm integration, all on the same panel.
Yes. The NPAC includes DMX512 and sACN protocol support, allowing it to be directly controlled by theatrical lighting consoles and other DMX or sACN-based control systems for synchronized power and lighting cues.
Yes. While the SCLC’s native control protocol is RS-232, it can be easily integrated into a modern IP network using a standard, third-party IP-to-Serial converter. This allows control from network-based building management or AV control systems.
Yes. The NPAC allows you to group individual circuits into as many as 12 distinct zones. Each zone can then be assigned to a different control source. For example, you could have circuits 1 and 2 controlled by a DMX signal from a lighting console, while circuits 3 and 4 are controlled via IP commands from an AV automation system. This provides exceptional flexibility for managing mixed-equipment racks.
Yes, LCRP panels feature DMX in and out ports, allowing them to be daisy-chained. This lets you control a virtually unlimited number of circuits across multiple panels from a single DMX data line.

Troubleshooting
View all 18 →Our protection devices are engineered to help technicians diagnose issues quickly. Integrated wiring fault indicators on the front panel provide immediate visual confirmation of common problems, such as a missing ground connection or reversed polarity. This saves valuable time during commissioning and troubleshooting by identifying foundational power issues before they affect the AV system.
The front panel Processor LED will blink red if the internal surge protection has failed. During normal operation with healthy protection, the LED will flash blue and red. Contact LynTec support for replacement instructions.
A status indicator LED on the front panel confirms the surge protection is active. If this light goes out, the MOV protection module has been compromised and can be easily replaced.
RX series conditioners feature a front-panel LED indicator that alerts technicians to dangerous external wiring conditions. If the unit detects an issue such as a missing ground connection or reversed hot and neutral wires at the outlet, the indicator will illuminate.
In these fault conditions, the unit will not pass power to its outlets, protecting connected equipment from potential damage. This provides a clear, immediate diagnostic tool during system installation and commissioning.
Our modular architecture isolates specific functions onto individual, field-replaceable components. If a specific function fails, such as a communication interface or a relay driver, a technician can replace just that single module instead of the entire panel controller or backplane.
This targeted approach significantly reduces system downtime, lowers repair costs, and simplifies troubleshooting. It ensures that your power control infrastructure remains robust and easy to maintain over its entire service life.
