+Networked power sequencing for any rack.
The NPAC is a 2RU rackmount relay panel engineered to simplify power sequencing in professional AVL installations. It provides network-based control over four or eight 20A circuits, allowing integrators to manage startup and shutdown sequences directly from an integrated web browser. This plug-and-go design eliminates the need for an electrician during commissioning.
Designed for system integration, NPAC supports DMX, sACN, Telnet, and IP commands, fitting seamlessly into existing automation workflows. For larger projects, up to ten units can be networked to operate as a single, synchronized system, providing a scalable foundation for reliable power management.
Engineered for the integrator.
Simplified setup without an electrician.
Flexible control for any automation system.
Scalable architecture for growing systems.
Your questions, answered.
Yes. Our power cables are designed for guaranteed compatibility across the entire LynTec ecosystem. This includes our RPC remote control breaker panels, PDS power distribution sequencers, NPAC rack-mounted panels, and other related infrastructure.
Using our cables ensures a secure and reliable physical connection, simplifying the installation process and providing peace of mind that your power chain has no weak links.
Yes. The NPAC allows you to group individual circuits into as many as 12 distinct zones. Each zone can then be assigned to a different control source. For example, you could have circuits 1 and 2 controlled by a DMX signal from a lighting console, while circuits 3 and 4 are controlled via IP commands from an AV automation system. This provides exceptional flexibility for managing mixed-equipment racks.
Yes, our systems are designed with a modular and scalable architecture. For facility-wide control, the RPC system starts with a master panel and can be expanded with RPS secondary panels to manage up to 168 circuits from a single interface.
For rack-based applications, up to ten NPAC units can be networked together to operate as a single, synchronized system. The XPC series further extends this modularity, allowing you to add remote relays anywhere on the network and integrate them into an existing panel installation.
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.
Yes. XPC remote relay modules are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing RPC, RPCR, or NPAC panel installations. They connect to the network and are controlled by the main panel’s controller, acting as a direct extension of the system. This allows you to add controlled circuits in remote locations while maintaining a single, unified control and sequencing ecosystem for the facility.
No, the NPAC is engineered for plug-and-go installation by an AV integrator. It plugs into a standard wall outlet and provides four or eight controlled outlets in a 2RU chassis. All sequencing, control, and network settings are configured through its built-in web browser interface, eliminating the need for custom electrical work during commissioning.
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.
For larger installations, you can network up to 10 NPAC units together over a standard IP network. When linked, they operate as a single, cohesive system. This allows you to manage and sequence up to 80 circuits from a single web interface, providing a scalable power control infrastructure that can grow from a single rack to a full facility.
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 NPAC is designed for broad compatibility with professional AVL and lighting control systems. It natively supports control via IP (Telnet/HTTP), DMX512, and sACN. It also includes a contact closure interface for simple on/off control from basic switches or relays. This flexibility allows it to integrate directly into systems from Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, and most lighting consoles without requiring extra hardware or protocol converters.
Our switches are specifically engineered as part of the LynTec power control ecosystem. They are fully compatible with our most common sequencing controllers and panels, including the RPC Remote Control Breaker Panels, RPCR Automated Relay Panels, and NPAC Networkable Power Automation and Control panels.
They are not designed as generic, standalone contact closure devices and should be used with a compatible LynTec controller to ensure proper system function and reliability.
