This autonomous, four step sequencer contains all the circuitry needed for timing and communications with other Juice Goose CQ Series units.
The CQ-PD1-4 saves hardware and labor time compared with options from Middle Atlantic or Lyntec. It's pre-assembled and requires only one part number. Yet it enables the full power of eighty amps spread across four circuits and four sequence events. Compare that to the six SKUs, nine parts and assembly labor required for the Middle Atlantic MPR raceway.
The compact design of the CQ-PD1-4 fits in the back of a rack. It connects and operates just like any CQ Series model, providing plug-and-play simplicity and integration with any arrangement of Juice Goose CQ Series sequencing modules. It has an external wire harness and flexible conduit to be wired inside a junction box or directly to a circuit breaker panel. No internal hookup is required. Signal line communication is easy with RJ-45 cable input and output ports on the front of the chassis.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Juice Goose CQ-PD1-4, along with the other products in the CQ Series, provides a versatile and powerful means of remotely activating AC power in a sequenced array for application to both sensitive and high amperage equipment. CQ Series products need no additional controllers. Each contains the circuitry to be activated by a simple contact closure and to perform in coordination with other CQ devices. All power down sequences are exact reversals of the power up sequences.
CONNECTION
The CQ-PD1-4 features a four foot external wire harness, including four hot leads (various colors), four neutral leads (white) and one ground lead (green) enclosed in flexible metal conduit.
This unit can be easily controlled by way of 8 wire RJ-45 cable. (Consult the CQ Series Owners Manual before assembling the cable.) Each CQ has a Sequence Signal Input and Output connector on the chassis. This communication link allows any CQ device to be installed at any stage in a power sequencing system. There is no limit to the number of CQ devices that can be connected and no known distance limit between them.
Because the sequence process is controlled with a latching contact closure the system can be activated with a custom mounted single pole switch, a relay, the control switch on the CQ device itself or a Juice Goose RC-5 key switch control accessory. It can also be activated with controllers from Crestron, AMX or other manufacturers.
OPERATION
The CQ-PD1-4 is an 80 amp hardwire model featuring four sequence events, each with an individual 20 amp circuit. It can be a stand-alone, remote control module or can be included with a more extensive power sequencing system. In a typical CQ system the CQ-PD1-4 is used to control power within an amplifier rack. The multiple circuit/multiple sequence feature allows the CQ-PD1-4 to power up several amplifiers, following activation of any equalizers or other electronic signal sources that may be housed in the same rack. In this configuration the CQ-PD1-4 is connected by way of eight wire, RJ-45 cable to another CQ device which will power the “front-of-house“ equipment. No time delay settings or additional equipment are required. All CQ units will automatically turn on and off in the proper sequence.
The CQ-PD1-4 features four sequenced duplex receptacles. Each duplex has its own preset turn on and off timing. Because the CQ-PD1-4 activates its outlets in four stages it is useful as a stand-alone sequencer. The CQ-PD1-4 can be triggered by the switch on the front of the unit, by a remote contact closure or by a Juice Goose RC-5 key switch.
CONTROLS AND MONITORS
The CQ-PD1-4 features a three position switch on the front of the chassis. This switch is active only if there is no control cable on the Sequence Signal Input connector. When active, this switch allows the unit to sequence up or sequence down and to control the sequencing of any unit connected to the Sequence Signal Output connector. This switch can also override the control circuit in the unlikely event of a fault or failure.
