    ABOUT SWITCHES

    Secure, physical control for power sequencing.

    Provide authorized personnel with simple, reliable, and secure access to initiate power up and down sequences for your integrated AV systems.

    LynTec switches are engineered interfaces designed for direct control of our power sequencing products. Moving beyond simple contact closure, these accessories provide a dedicated and reliable point of control for system operators. Available in multiple form factors including standard wall plates, 1U rack panels, and individual components, they integrate cleanly into any professional installation.

    Security is a core design principle. Many models feature key-locked switches to prevent unauthorized access in public venues, classrooms, or houses of worship, ensuring that your system is operated only by trained staff. Installation is simplified through clear labeling and standardized connections, providing a robust physical interface for your power control infrastructure.

    WHY IT MATTERS

    Engineered for system integration.

    01

    Secure access with key-locked control.

    Prevent unauthorized operation in public venues, houses of worship, and schools. Keyed switches like the RC5-WM and SS-2PL ensure only authorized staff can initiate power sequences.
    02

    Flexible mounting for any installation.

    Choose from standard single-gang wall plates (SS-2PL), 1U rack panels (SS-4LRP), or individual components for custom integration. This ensures a clean, professional fit in any environment.
    03

    Designed for simple, reliable system integration.

    Engineered to work seamlessly with LynTec power sequencers. Models like the RC5-WM use a standard RJ-45 connection for both signal and power, simplifying wiring and reducing installation time.
    FAQ

    Your questions, answered.

    Common questions about selecting and installing LynTec control switches.
    Are these just simple contact closure switches?

    While they provide a physical control interface, LynTec switches are engineered system components that offer more than a basic contact closure. They are designed for seamless integration with our power sequencers, providing a reliable and dedicated point of control.

    Features can include key-lock security, clear LED status indicators for sequence operation, and simplified wiring schemes. For instance, the RC5-WM uses a single RJ-45 cable for signal and power, making installation faster and more robust than wiring a generic switch to a terminal block.

    Do LynTec switches require their own external power supply?

    Many LynTec switches are engineered to simplify installation by drawing power directly from the connected power sequencer. For example, the RC5-WM remote control for the CQ Series uses a standard RJ-45 connection for both control signals and its own operating power.

    This design eliminates the need for a separate local power supply, reducing system complexity, wiring time, and potential points of failure. Always consult the specific product documentation to confirm power requirements for your chosen switch and sequencer combination.

    How do I choose between wall-mount, rack-mount, and component switches?

    The choice of form factor depends on the installation environment and operational needs. Wall-mount switches, like the SS-2PL, fit in a standard single-gang box and are ideal for accessible control in a room or on a stage.

    Rack-mount panels, such as the SS-4LRP, are designed for centralized control within an equipment rack, perfect for control rooms or closets. Individual component switches are available for integration into custom panels, lecterns, or other specialized control surfaces.

    How do I know which switch is compatible with my LynTec power sequencer?

    LynTec switches are designed to work with specific power control products to ensure reliable performance. Compatibility is determined by the control protocol and physical connection of the sequencer.

    For example, the RC5-WM key switch is specifically engineered for use with the CQ Series of sequencers. It is critical to check the product documentation for both the switch and the sequencer to confirm they are designed to work together as part of an integrated system.

    How do I provide secure, key-locked access to my power system?

    The RC5-WM Wall Mount Remote Control is a key-operated switch designed specifically for this purpose. It provides a secure, physical interface that prevents unauthorized users from operating the power sequencing system.

    This makes it an ideal solution for public-facing environments like houses of worship, schools, and auditoriums where access to system controls must be restricted to trained personnel. The interface provides simple Sequence Up, Sequence Down, and Pause functions.

    What are the interface options for manual power control?

    We offer two primary interfaces for direct manual control. Key-operated switches provide secure access, ensuring only authorized users can control power. Simple push-button switches offer momentary or maintained action for straightforward on/off operation in less security-sensitive areas. Both are designed for reliability and clear operational status.

    Why should I specify a key-locked switch instead of a standard pushbutton?

    Key-locked switches, like the RC5-WM or SS-2PL, are specified to prevent unauthorized operation of the power sequencing system. They are essential in public or semi-public venues such as houses of worship, schools, auditoriums, and conference centers.

    Using a key switch ensures that only trained and authorized personnel can initiate power up or down sequences. This protects sensitive AV equipment from improper shutdown and prevents accidental or malicious disruption of events.
