    Extend sequenced power control beyond the rack.

    The CQ 50 brings reliable, sequenced power control to equipment located outside of a traditional AV rack. This compact module is designed for simple surface mounting near projectors, powered speakers, or other distributed AV hardware, providing a single sequencing event for two 15A outlets.

    It integrates seamlessly into the broader CQ family, allowing it to be daisy-chained with other CQ sequencers for synchronized, multi-zone startup and shutdown. Control can be triggered from any other CQ device, a simple contact closure, or a dedicated LynTec RC5 remote control accessory. With its plug-and-play design and detachable power cord, the CQ 50 simplifies installation and provides a dependable power foundation for any piece of gear in your facility.

    FAQ

    FAQs about the CQ 50

    Can I use multiple CQ 50s together in a sequence?

    Yes. The dedicated RJ45 input and output ports are designed for daisy-chaining. You can link any number of CQ Series devices together to create a synchronized power-up and power-down sequence across your entire system.

    Does the CQ 50 require a primary controller?

    No, the CQ 50 and the entire CQ Series are designed for standalone operation. A sequence can be initiated from any unit in a daisy-chain or from a simple, third-party contact closure, eliminating the need for a separate primary controller.

    How do I control the CQ 50?

    The CQ 50 can be triggered in two ways. You can daisy-chain it from another CQ Series sequencer using the RJ45 ports, or you can use a simple latching contact closure device, such as a key switch or a relay connected to the input port.

    What is the unswitched outlet for?

    The unswitched outlet provides constant power that is not part of the sequence. It’s a convenience outlet perfect for devices that need to remain on at all times, such as small network switches or utility lighting.

    What kind of equipment is the CQ 50 designed for?

    The CQ 50 is ideal for any non-racked AV equipment that requires sequenced power. Common applications include powering on projectors, video displays, powered speakers, and other distributed hardware that needs to be controlled from a central point.
