ENERGY SEQUENCING AND CONTROL (PZA)
Alarm panel interface
The RC-DM1 will initiate a shutdown sequence of the CQ series power sequencers in the event of an alarm. This product features a contact terminal for connection to a contact closure on an alarm control panel. As long as a contact is maintained at the terminal, all connected CQ series products will sequence up and down normally. When that contact is opened, the RC-DM1 will begin an ordered sequencing process for all CQ products it controls. Connecting this terminal to a normally open alarm trigger will allow the RC-DM1 to de-sequence a powered system in the event of a security-related event.
OVERVIEW
To silence an audio system in the event of an emergency, the RC DM1 provides an interface between a locking dry contact on an alarm panel and a Juice Goose CQ series power sequencer. In the event of an alarm, the power distribution units connected to the RC DM1 control line output will be sequenced down. This product requires a 12 VAC power supply (supplied with the unit).
I Select a location with access to the AC power required for the 12 VAC power supply. Mount the unit on a stable surface using the appropriate hardware.
The "Input" RJ 45 cable port must be connected to the CQ Series control line running from a power control point (e.g., an RC5 remote control accessory, a CQ Series power module, or a user-supplied maintained contact closure). connected to a CQ Series control line leading to a CQ Series product providing power to an audio source, an audio amplifier, or both. Control lines must be assembled using RJ45 cabling configured according to Juice Goose published instructions. (Refer to the CQ Series product manual or the Juice Goose website for more details.) Remove the metal bridge between the terminal screws. The terminals of the RC DM1 must be connected to the alarm panel so that contact is maintained between the terminals under normal and safe circumstances. In case of alarm, this contact should open.
OPERATION
As long as dry contact is maintained between the RC DM1 terminals, the CQ series power sequencers will operate normally, allowing sequenced power on and off of all networked power distribution devices. When that terminal contact is opened (removed), all CQ series sequencers connected via the control line to the "Output" of the RC DM1 will be sequenced in order from the furthest connected power device to the closest to the RC DM1.
Once the alarm condition has been corrected and contact between the terminals has been reestablished, the CQ series power units at the output of RC DM1 will be re-sequenced starting with the unit closest to RC DM1.
