+Reliable power sequencing, simplified.
CQ Series products are engineered as self-contained power sequencing modules. Each unit can operate independently or be daisy-chained to other CQ devices using standard RJ-45 cables. This creates a simple, scalable, and robust sequencing infrastructure that grows with your system.
This modular architecture allows you to specify the exact circuit count and amperage needed for each location. Combined with a full ecosystem of remote controls, key switches, and emergency alarm interfaces, the CQ Series delivers dependable, hard-wired control for any application.
Engineered for simplicity and reliability.
Standalone intelligence, scalable by design.
Plug-and-play setup reduces installation time.
A complete ecosystem of dedicated remote controls.
Your questions, answered.
Yes, the sequence timing is adjustable on CQ models like the CQ 1515. The delay between sequence steps can be configured using internal DIP switches inside the unit. This provides flexibility to accommodate the specific startup requirements of different types of audio, video, and lighting equipment in your system.
Yes. For applications requiring control from several points, such as a stage, a control booth, and a manager’s office, the RC-DM3 combiner module is the solution. It allows up to three separate RC-5 remote units to operate a single CQ sequencing system.
The RC-DM3 automatically prioritizes the most recent command it receives, ensuring seamless operation from any connected station without complex programming or control conflicts.
Yes, this is a critical safety integration we support. The RC-DM3 Remote Control Combiner includes a dedicated contact terminal for connecting to a normally open (N.O.) fire alarm trigger.
When the alarm system closes the contact, the RC-DM3 sends a forced sequence-down command to the connected CQ Series sequencer. This ensures all sensitive audio, video, and lighting equipment is powered down in an orderly and safe manner during an emergency.
Yes, integration with emergency systems is possible using the RC-DM3 combiner. It includes a dedicated terminal for a normally open (N.O.) dry contact, which can be connected to a fire alarm or other life safety system. When this contact is triggered, the RC-DM3 forces an automated, orderly power-down sequence for all connected equipment, enhancing venue safety.
No. Every CQ Series unit is engineered as a self-contained sequencer with its own internal microprocessor. They operate independently out of the box without needing a master controller, network switch, or any programming. This plug-and-play design simplifies installation and ensures robust, hard-wired reliability for your power sequencing.
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.
RC Series accessories are engineered for simple installation. They connect to a LynTec CQ Series sequencer using a single, standard RJ45 cable. This connection provides both control signaling and operating power, as the RC units are phantom powered directly by the CQ device. This design eliminates the need for a local power supply at the control location, simplifying wiring and reducing installation costs.
The RC-DM3 Remote Control Combiner is designed for this purpose. It allows you to connect up to three separate remote control stations to a single CQ sequencing system. The module automatically prioritizes the most recent command, preventing control conflicts without any required configuration. This is ideal for venues needing control from a stage, a control booth, and a back office.
For systems requiring control from several points, such as a stage, a control booth, and a back office, we offer the RC-DM3 Remote Control Combiner. This module allows you to connect up to three remote control stations to a single CQ Series sequencing system.
The RC-DM3 automatically prioritizes the most recent command it receives, which prevents control conflicts and ensures smooth operation without any complex programming.
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.
CQ Series sequencers are designed for modular expansion. You can link multiple units together by daisy-chaining them with standard RJ-45 cables. Each unit operates independently, so there is no need for a central controller or complex programming. This allows you to create a synchronized power-up sequence that scales from a single rack to a multi-zone installation.
The CQ ecosystem supports emergency shutdown integration through a normally open (N.O.) dry contact closure. Accessories like the RC-DM3 Remote Control Combiner include a dedicated terminal for connecting to an alarm panel. When the alarm contact is closed, the system initiates an automated and orderly power-down sequence for all connected equipment, enhancing facility safety.
The CQ ecosystem includes a range of hard-wired remote controls. You can integrate secure, key-locked wall controls like the RC5-WM, rack-mount remotes, or multi-point control combiners. These accessories connect easily using standard RJ-45 cables and draw power directly from the CQ unit, which simplifies wiring and reduces system complexity.
The RC Series is an accessory ecosystem designed exclusively for use with LynTec’s CQ Series of power sequencers. They are not compatible with other LynTec product families like RPC, RPCR, or NPAC. Each RC device connects directly to the dedicated remote port on a CQ sequencer or via an RC-DM3 combiner.
