    SEQUENCING CONTROL

    Simple, reliable power sequencing for any installation.

    The PDS-12 Sequencing Relay Panel simplifies power control for any venue requiring straightforward, reliable power-up and power-down sequencing. Engineered as a complete, tested package, the PDS-12 mounts next to your main breaker panel to control AC “hot” lines directly, reducing installation labor and complexity. It uses robust Panasonic latching relays that consume no continuous power, ensuring cool, efficient, and long-term operation without thermal stress.

    Available in 4, 8, or 12 circuit configurations, the PDS-12 is built for electrician-friendly deployment. Standard features like automatic load shedding for emergency shutdown and brownout protection for sensitive equipment provide a layer of safety and reliability essential for modern AVL systems. Simple contact closure inputs enable one-touch system control, making daily operation intuitive for any user.

    FAQ

    FAQs about the PDS-12 Panel

    Can I control more than 12 circuits with the PDS-12?

    Yes, multiple PDS-12 panels can be daisy-chained together to control an unlimited number of circuits. The control signal passes from one panel to the next to maintain a single, coordinated sequence.

    Does the PDS-12 require on-site commissioning by a factory technician?

    No, the PDS-12 is engineered for simple setup and does not require specialized on-site commissioning. Onboard test switches and diagnostic LEDs help installers verify correct operation quickly.

    How do I control the PDS-12 sequencing?

    The PDS-12 uses a standard contact closure input for control. This allows you to trigger the on/off sequence with a simple key switch, button, or a relay output from a third-party automation system.

    What is included with a PDS-12 panel?

    Each PDS-12 panel ships as a complete, tested assembly with the specified number of 30-amp latching relays installed. A LynTec SS-2 key switch set is also included for control.

    Where is the PDS-12 panel typically installed?

    The panel is designed to be mounted on a wall directly next to the main circuit breaker panel it is controlling. This simplifies wiring by allowing easy access to the AC “hot” lines for the controlled circuits.
