Sequenced Power Control

While our basic PDUs cannot be field-upgraded internally, they serve as a reliable power foundation for a larger system. To add sequencing or network control, you would typically power the PDU from a dedicated LynTec power control product like an RPC panel or an NPAC sequencer. This modular approach allows you to start with simple distribution and scale up to intelligent control as system needs evolve.

Absolutely. This is a primary application for our retrofit controllers. By installing a kit like the MRTS series into a compatible Square D panel, you can add intelligent startup and shutdown sequencing to existing circuits. This protects sensitive audio and video equipment from damaging inrush currents without needing to install a new, dedicated sequencing panel.

Yes, all network-enabled LynTec sequencers provide circuit-level control over the power-up and power-down order. You can set custom delay rates from a fraction of a second up to 999 seconds between steps. This flexibility allows you to precisely match the startup requirements of sensitive equipment like digital signal processors, amplifiers, and video projectors, ensuring a safe and stable power-on process.

Yes, you can easily scale your sequencing for larger systems. While PDS units do not directly daisy-chain their internal logic, multiple units can be controlled from a single master switch or control system output. By wiring the contact closure inputs in parallel, you can initiate the sequence on all connected PDS units simultaneously for coordinated startup of dozens of circuits.

Yes. Sequencing is a core feature designed to protect sensitive equipment from harmful inrush current. Within a single panel, you can create multiple sequence zones and define the step rate. For larger systems, multiple LynTec panels can be networked together and synchronized under a single control interface to ensure a coordinated and safe power-up and power-down sequence across an entire facility.

Yes. A single contact closure event, like turning a key switch or pressing a button, can initiate a complete, pre-programmed power-on or power-off sequence. This allows for simple ‘one-touch’ control of an entire AV or lighting system from a lectern, wall plate, or other convenient location.

Products like the RPC, NPAC, and CQ Series all support sequence initiation via contact closure, simplifying system operation for end-users while ensuring equipment is powered on and off safely.

Absolutely. The NPAC includes a built-in astronomical clock and event scheduler. You can program up to 84 timed events to trigger power sequences based on the time of day or relative to sunrise and sunset. This allows the NPAC to operate as a standalone power automation solution for applications that require daily startup and shutdown without needing a dedicated external controller.

Manual controllers are designed for direct on/off switching and do not include internal time-delay or sequencing logic. Their function is to immediately energize or de-energize a circuit upon activation. For applications requiring a timed power-up or power-down sequence to protect sensitive equipment, we recommend our dedicated sequencing products like the RPC or PDS series.

LynTec surge protectors are specialized devices focused exclusively on power protection and filtration. They do not include built-in power sequencing functions.

For applications that require a controlled power-up or power-down order to prevent speaker pops or equipment damage, these protectors should be paired with a dedicated LynTec power sequencer. This modular approach allows you to build a robust, integrated power infrastructure with best-in-class protection and control.

Yes. Our panel-based and distributed systems are engineered with integrated voltage protection. The RPC and XPC series feature automatic brownout protection that safely shuts down circuits during an under-voltage event. This critical feature protects sensitive downstream electronics from potential damage caused by unstable power, adding a layer of reliability to your entire installation.

The RT Series is designed for single-step remote power activation. It provides a dependable method for turning a single circuit on or off in response to a contact closure trigger. For applications requiring timed, multi-step sequencing with delays between circuits, we recommend exploring our networked RPC or PDS series panels, which offer advanced, programmable sequencing capabilities.

The SCV Series is designed purely for power protection and battery backup; it does not have built-in power sequencing capabilities. Its purpose is to provide a stable, uninterrupted source of power to other devices.

For controlled startup and shutdown of equipment in a rack, we recommend pairing an SCV UPS with a dedicated power sequencer, such as a LynTec PDS or RPC panel. The SCV would feed the sequencer, ensuring the entire control chain is protected.

The XPC Xtend Power Control series is engineered specifically for this scenario. It decouples control from the panel, allowing you to place compact, network-managed relay modules exactly where your equipment is located. This is ideal for controlling powered line arrays, digital signage, or remote video displays.

XPC modules can be deployed as a standalone system or integrated as an extension of an existing RPC or NPAC installation, providing sequenced control over your standard IP network.

RPCR panels are designed as part of a larger LynTec control ecosystem. They function as relay satellites and are controlled by a master controller, such as an RPC panel or an NPAC. The master unit provides the sequencing logic, scheduling, and user interface (web server, DMX, sACN, etc.), sending simple commands to the RPCR to actuate its relays as part of a system-wide sequence.

MS Series panels are designed for modular scalability. You can easily link multiple panels together using a simple low-voltage connection in a daisy-chain configuration. This allows you to create a single, unified sequencing system with a virtually unlimited number of circuits. The entire multi-panel system can then be controlled from a single initiation point, simplifying operation for large and complex installations.

LynTec’s architecture is modular, allowing you to scale your power control infrastructure as needed. For individual racks, a standalone unit like the CQ 1515 or the network-enabled NPAC provides simple, reliable sequencing.

For facility-wide control, the RPC Remote Control Breaker Panel system can manage up to 168 circuits from a single web interface. You can also use the XPC series to extend sequenced control to distributed equipment anywhere in the building, all integrated into one cohesive system.

Power sequencing is configured through a simple, browser-based interface on our network-enabled products like the RPC, NPAC, and XPC. This allows you to set the power-on and power-off order for every circuit or relay to prevent high inrush currents that can damage sensitive equipment.

You can define custom step-rates between sequenced events, from a fraction of a second up to 999 seconds on some models. This provides the flexibility needed to safely manage the startup procedure for amplifiers, DSPs, projectors, and other professional AV gear.

Sequencing is configured through the unit’s onboard web interface. You can easily set the order for each circuit to power on and off, as well as the delay time between each step. This ensures that components like amplifiers are powered on last and off first, preventing dangerous speaker pops and protecting sensitive downstream equipment.

The PDS series is designed for straightforward integration. Sequencing is initiated via a simple, low-voltage dry contact closure from an external key switch, a control system relay, or another master power control panel. This allows for easy implementation into a wide range of system designs without requiring network access or complex programming.

The SQ Series is controlled via a simple contact closure input. This allows for straightforward remote activation of the power up and power down sequences.

You can trigger the unit using a basic momentary wall switch, a key switch, or a relay output from any third-party control system like Crestron, AMX, or Q-SYS. This design ensures reliable operation without needing a network connection or complex programming.

The NPAC provides granular control over startup and shutdown sequences via its web interface. You can define a custom power-up and power-down order for each circuit. The delay time between each step in the sequence is also programmable, with settings from a fraction of a second up to 999 seconds. This ensures sensitive equipment is powered on and off in a safe, reliable order.

The 3-step sequencing delay on the SQ Series is preset at the factory and is not user-adjustable. This ensures consistent, reliable performance and simplifies installation.

The fixed delay is engineered to provide safe startup and shutdown intervals for the majority of professional audio and video equipment, protecting it from high inrush currents without requiring any onsite programming or configuration.

Our network-enabled sequencers (RPC, NPAC, XPC series) are designed for broad compatibility. They feature a built-in web server for direct setup and control via IP. Native support for DMX, sACN, and Telnet allows for seamless integration with professional lighting consoles and AV control systems from manufacturers like Crestron and AMX.

Additionally, standard contact closure inputs enable simple control from wall switches, sensors, or life-safety systems.

The browser-based interface provides comprehensive remote control over your power system. You can perform initial system setup, configure precise power sequencing order and timing, assign individual circuits to control zones, and monitor the real-time on/off status of every circuit. You can also manually trigger power sequences, which is useful for system testing and remote troubleshooting without requiring a site visit.

LynTec systems are designed for straightforward setup by the integrator, eliminating the need for on-site factory commissioning. All network-enabled products, including the RPC, NPAC, and XPC series, feature a built-in web server.
