JuiceGoose CQ Series - Power Sequencers - Manual (Page 9)

vices can be connected in a daisy chain fashion to operate as a power
sequencing system.
REMOTE CONTACT CLOSURE - As one option, to control the sequenc-
ing function, the Signal Input for the first CQ device can be connected to a
contact closure (see Remote Switch Connection). Any latching switch or
relay will work. Juice Goose recommends use of a double throw device in
order to maintain one of two contact closures at all times. Digital proces-
sor controlled devices such as those produced by AMX and similar com-
panies will also work to control the CQ system.
RC-5 KEY SWTICH - Juice Goose offers, as an accessory, the RC-5 Re-
mote Control/Monitor. This device provides key switch security as well as
indicators to show the status of the power sequencing operation. The RC-
5 connects directly to the Signal Input of the first CQ device.
SEQUENCE SWITCH (Not including the CQ 1) - Without a contact clo-
sure on the Signal Input, the switch on the front or top of the CQ device
will control its operation. Switches on the CQ 2200, 3000 and PD1-4 have
three positions: Sequence up, Sequence Down and Manual On. The Se-
quence Up and Down positions will activate the sequence process for that
CQ unit and cause it to activate any units connected to its Signal Output.
In the event of a failure of a particular CQ unit, the Manual On switch posi-
tion allows activation of the CQ device. (Note: the Manual On option does
not provide sequencing).
The CQ-1520 has a two position sequence switch and a second, re-
cessed Manual On switch on the front panel of the chassis.
MONITORING
Each CQ Series device has a number of LEDs on the chassis to allow real
time monitoring of the device’s operation.
On all CQ models, one LED indicates the processor is running the CQ
control program. That LED blinks on all models except the CQ 1 on which
that LED is on but static. Should there be a question about the product’s
performance, the processor LED indicates the status of the electronic
circuitry that controls the CQ unit.
In addition, each CQ model except the CQ 1 and CQ-PD1-4 has a num-
ber of LEDs that corresponds to that unit's number of Pods (i.e. sequence
events). Each Pod LED lights to indicate that a sequence stage has been
completed and the corresponding POD has power.
Juice Goose also offers as accessories, four models of RC-5 remote and
monitor devices that provide indications of sequence operation and com-
pletion. For more information about the RC-5, contact your Juice Goose
dealer, refer to the Juice Goose product catalog or visit our website,
