Remote Power Control

actives remote equipment — external trigger required

REMOTE POWER CONTROLS can be combined with a variety of switches or sequencers (with dry contact closure or voltage trigger) for an intrinsically safe, low voltage method of controlling AC power to equipment at remote locations. Controlling power distribution without directly accessing equipment minimizes the potential for unauthorized access, while simplifying activation and deactivation of equipment.

Note: RPCs require an external trigger for activation (order separately).

FEATURES

CHASSIS: Steel chassis (8.00"L x 3.25"W x 2.75"H) with black finish and mounting holes.

POWER:

• Power Rating: 125VAC 60Hz 20A
- Outlets: NEMA 5-20R duplex
- Attached Cord: 6 ft. cord with NEMA 5-20P plug

SURGE PROTECTION:

• Maximum Surge Current: 20,000A
• VPR: 400V
• Response Time: 1 nanosecond
• EMI/RFI Noise Reduction: 20dB@100kHz
• Protection Mode: Line to Neutral
• Ground Contamination: None

ACTIVATION: Must be connected to an external control for activation and deactivation (choose one):

- Dry Contact Closure: Connect to SPST switch, power sequencer, or independent control system with dry contact closure.

Contact Coil Rating:

- Voltage: 24VDC

- Current: 37.5mA

- Voltage Trigger (5-24V AC or DC 5mA): DSP connection.

ORIGIN: Made in the U.S.A. with global components

THIRD PARTY APPROVAL: ETL Listed to UL60065 (U.S. and Canada)

INSTALLATION: The RPC is typically installed near the equipment to be controlled. Low voltage cable is run from its RJ45 connector (or terminal strip) to a control switch (or other control method).

• Systems can be configured with multiple RPCs controlled by a single "Maintained Closure" switch or voltage trigger source.
• Systems can also be configured with a single RPC controlled by multiple "Momentary Closure" switches and Lowell's MSM2 module (which converts momentary closure to maintained).

COMPATIBLE DEVICES: (order separately)

• SPST Switch (RPS Series): Low voltage wall-mount or rack-mount switch:
• Switch with maintained closure connects directly to RPC.
• Switch with momentary closure requires Lowell conversion module MSM2 placed between the switch and RPC.
• Power Sequencer (SEQ Series): A low voltage sequencer can be used with the RPC for time-delayed activation and deactivation of connected equipment. Lowell standalone sequencers will require a switch for activation, while Lowell rack-mount sequencers include a switch. See product spec sheets for information.

EXAMPLE 1: SPST switch with MAINTAINED closure.

EXAMPLE 2: Sequencer or Control System.

ON = voltage applied
OFF = voltage removed
Application Example: RPC controls power to music/paging system. A signal from Fire Alarm Panel forces music/paging system OFF so an alarm can be heard.
from Fire Alarm System. Closed loop from Fire Alarm Panel holds RPC ON. When loop is opened by Fire Alarm Panel, the RPC turns OFF.
