Juice Goose CQ1520-RX 20A Power Sequencer with Remote Control Capability & RX Surge Protection, 1 RU

Where professional-grade power sequencing meets top-tier surge protection, you'll find the CQ1520-RX 20A Power Sequencer. This advanced device seamlessly integrates the reliable AC power sequencing with the robust performance of the Juice Goose RX Series surge protection and filtration.

The CQ1520-RX is a part of the esteemed CQ Series, each product of which is equipped with the necessary circuitry for sequenced activation and effortless coordination with other CQ Series models or RC Series accessories. The power up and power down sequences are performed automatically, ensuring a smooth and efficient operation.

This 20-amp rack mount, plug-in model stands out with its AC line protection and seven power outputs. It is designed to be used independently, activated via remote control, or integrated into a more extensive power sequencing system. In a typical sequencing system, the rack-mounted CQ1520-RX controls power to the signal source or "front-of-house" equipment before power is applied to amplifiers.

The CQ1520-RX features three sequenced duplex receptacles and one unswitched single AC receptacle on the back of the chassis. Each duplex has its own preset turn on and off timing, making the CQ1520-RX a valuable stand-alone sequencer.

The power protection circuitry in the CQ1520-RX is proven to be effective against common mode as well as normal mode events. It protects against surge events of up to 6,000 volts at 3,000 amps on hot and neutral (normal mode), while also limiting ground line (common mode) surges to one-half (0.50) volt. This prevents operating faults of digital processing equipment, ensuring your devices are always safe and secure.

All CQ products, including the CQ1520-RX, can be controlled via an 8 wire, RJ-45 cable. The Sequence Signal Input and Output connector on the chassis allows for daisy chaining any CQ device at any position in a power sequencing system. The system can be activated with the sequence control switch on the CQ device itself, a Juice Goose RC5 control accessory, or a latching contact closure.

The CQ1520-RX also features a two-position switch on the front of the chassis, which is active only if there is no control cable on the Sequence Signal Input connector. A Manual Override switch is also present, allowing the CQ1520-RX to be manually operated in the unlikely event of a fault or failure.

In summary, the CQ1520-RX 20A Power Sequencer offers a perfect blend of power sequencing and surge protection, ensuring your equipment is always powered safely and efficiently.
