RC DM1 Alarm Interface
Alarm interface module for forcing a safe power-down sequence on CQ Series products.
The RC DM1 is a dedicated interface module that connects a facility’s alarm panel to a network of Juice Goose CQ Series sequencers. It provides integrators a simple, reliable method for automatically initiating a safe power-down sequence of connected AVL systems during an emergency event.

Integrate emergency shutdown into your power sequence.
The RC DM1 provides a simple and reliable bridge between a building’s alarm system and your sequenced power infrastructure. By monitoring a dry contact closure from an alarm control panel, the RC DM1 can automatically trigger an orderly power-down sequence for all connected Juice Goose CQ Series products. This ensures sensitive audio and video equipment is shut down safely in the event of an emergency, protecting investments and simplifying facility safety protocols.
Installation is straightforward, with pass-through RJ45 ports that allow the module to be inserted into any CQ control line without complex wiring. A 12 VAC power supply is included, making it a complete, out-of-the-box solution for code-compliant system integration.

FAQs about the RC DM1
The RC DM1 is engineered specifically for the control signal and logic of the Juice Goose CQ Series power sequencing ecosystem. It is not designed or supported for use with other manufacturers’ sequencing products.
Yes, the RC DM1 requires a 12 VAC power source to operate. A compatible external power adapter is included with the unit.
The RC DM1 connects to a normally-closed, latching dry contact on an alarm control panel via a two-position screw terminal. When the alarm triggers, the contact opens, which signals the RC DM1 to begin the power-down sequence.
Once the alarm is cleared and the dry contact between the terminals is restored (closed), the RC DM1 will automatically initiate a normal power-up sequence for all connected CQ Series units.
