About the Juice Goose CQ2200 Dual-Sequence 20A Power Distribution System with Remote Control Capability
The Juice Goose CQ2200 is a sophisticated dual-sequence power distribution system engineered to manage and protect the complex power-up and shutdown procedures of large, multi-device installations. Designed for high-current applications up to 20 amps, this system provides two independent, programmable sequencing channels, allowing different equipment groups (e.g., audio systems, video processors, lighting controllers) to be powered on and off in separate, timed sequences. This is critical in integrated environments like performance venues, broadcast studios, or command centers where different subsystems have distinct power requirements and dependencies. The dual-sequence capability prevents massive inrush currents, ensures controlled initialization, and protects sensitive electronics from the stress of simultaneous power surges.
A core feature of the CQ2200 is its remote control capability, typically via dry contact closure inputs for each sequence channel. This allows the system to be integrated with facility automation, touch panels, or show control systems, enabling centralized command over the entire power infrastructure. The front panel includes a master power switch, status indicators for each outlet bank within both sequences, and metering for voltage and current draw. The unit incorporates robust surge suppression and may include noise filtration to provide clean power to connected equipment, safeguarding against both operational errors and electrical disturbances.
Housed in a heavy-duty 2U or 3U steel rack-mountable enclosure, the CQ2200 is built for reliability in continuous high-current operation. It features multiple outlet banks with a mix of NEMA and IEC receptacles to accommodate diverse professional gear. By combining high-capacity power distribution, intelligent dual-sequence logic, remote control, and integrated protection, the Juice Goose CQ2200 serves as a central power management hub for complex installations, ensuring operational safety, maximizing equipment lifespan, and providing simplified, automated control.
