While the CQ Series products can be remotely activated with any contact closure, Juice Goose produces RC-5 accessory line is an economical remote control and monitor device. The RC5 operates any Juice Goose CQ Series of sequenced power distribution devices.
For installations where securing the sequence controller against unauthorized operation is not an issue Juice Goose introduces the RC5-RS which provide all the functionality of the existing key switch devices, but with the convenience of a simple rotary switch control.
The RC5 requires no external power supply and connects with the same simple RJ-45 cable that is used to connect the CQ units.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RC5 Series products are optional remote control accessories designed to function exclusively with the Juice Goose CQ Series of AC power sequencing products.
Five RC5 models are available to allow remote control and monitoring of the CQ Series AC power system in a variety of secure and operational scenarios. All RC5 models provide lighted indicators for system operation and system status. Installation is as simple as connecting an RC5 and CQ device using RJ-45 control cable. They require no secondary power supply. Power is supplied by the CQ Series product to which it is connected.
Optional features include rack or wall mount and key, rotary knob or push button control. Selection of a particular RC5 model depends on specific requirements of a particular installation.
OPERATION
The optional RC5 may be used to control the sequence up and sequence down operations of the Juice Goose CQ Series product. Indicator lights on the RC5 report the system activity and sequencing operation status.
In a typical application, the RC5 will be connected to the first CQ device in a chain of sequencing products. The key switch and rotary knob rotate clockwise to sequence up or counter clockwise to sequence down the power sequencer to which they are connected. The push button, “KP”, model uses a four digit code which toggles between sequence up and sequence down commands. That Function code can be changed after entering an Admin code.
If remote control from more than one location is needed, or if sequence down control from an alarm panel is required see accessory models RC-DM3 and RC-DM1
RC SERIES MODELS
Five models of RC5 accessory controls include rack mount and wall mount options. There are also security options featuring a key switch, coded push button and rotary knob for installations where convenience is valued over security. All models connect easily and require no external power supplies.
CONTROL LINE CONNECTION
All RC5 and CQ products can be easily connected by way of eight wire, RJ-45, control cable which should be assembled according to telephone communications design, which is not the same as Ethernet (CAT6) cable. Read all related information in RC5 and CQ manuals. There is no limit to the number of CQ devices that can be connected in this manner and no practical limit to the distance between the RC5 and a connected CQ Series sequencer.
