About theJuice Goose CQ1515-RX Rackmount 3 Step 20A Sequencer
The Juice Goose CQ1515-RX is an intelligent rackmount power sequencer designed to automate and protect the startup and shutdown process of sensitive electronic systems. This unit prevents the damaging inrush current surge that occurs when multiple devices are powered on simultaneously by activating groups of outlets in a timed, sequential order. It is engineered for complex AV racks, broadcast systems, and data installations containing mixers, processors, amplifiers, and servers, ensuring that control systems boot first and high-draw amplifiers energize last, promoting system stability and longevity. The “3 Step” designation refers to its ability to control three distinct banks of outlets with programmable delays between each step.In addition to sequencing, this unit incorporates the “RX” series multi-stage filtration and surge protection. This technology actively filters out electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) from the power line, cleaning the AC supply to prevent noise from degrading audio and video signal quality. It also provides robust protection against voltage spikes and surges. The front panel includes status LEDs for each outlet bank and system power, along with a main power switch. Some models offer remote trigger inputs, allowing the sequencer to be activated by an external control system, such as a touch panel or automation controller.Housed in a standard 1U or 2U steel rack-mountable chassis, the CQ1515-RX is built for professional 24/7 operation. By automating power-up/power-down sequences and providing clean, protected power, it safeguards expensive equipment, reduces operator error, and simplifies daily operation. This makes it an essential component for managing the power infrastructure of any mission-critical system where equipment protection and operational reliability are paramount.
Key Features
- Hybrid LED Fixture: Combines a powerful LED strobe, an intense LED blinder, and a versatile color wash light in one moving head unit.
- Dual Light Sources: Features a central strip of bright cold-white LEDs (216x) for strobe effects and a surrounding face of high-power RGB LEDs (1,320x) for vibrant color mixing.
- Pixel Mapping: Both the RGB face and the white strobe tube are divisible into multiple segments (12 each) that can be controlled independently for intricate pixel effects.
- Motorized Tilt: Offers a wide 185° tilt movement with 16-bit resolution for fast, dynamic motion and precise positioning.
- High Output: Capable of producing a very high light output for both continuous blinder/wash effects and powerful strobing. Juice Goose CQ1515-RX
- Sequenced Power: A rack-mountable 3-step sequencer that powers equipment on and off in a timed sequence to prevent electrical surges.
- RX Series Protection: Includes premium surge protection and AC line filtration to guard against normal mode and common mode surges, protecting sensitive equipment from damage.
- Remote Control: Can be controlled remotely via RJ-45 connections using Juice Goose accessories or contact closure systems. It can function as a master or a slave in a larger sequencing system.
- 20-Amp Capacity: Provides a 20-amp total capacity, distributing power to seven outputs (one unswitched and six switched).
- Rack-Mountable: Fits within a single 1U rack space, making it easy to integrate into an equipment rack.
