The Juice Goose RC5-RM is a dedicated rackmountable remote control and status monitoring panel designed to interface with compatible Juice Goose CQ Series power sequencers and conditioners. This unit extends the control and monitoring capabilities of the main sequencer to a more accessible location, typically at the front of the rack or in a separate control room, allowing operators to manage system power and view status without needing physical access to the sequencer itself, which is often installed at the rear of the rack. It is engineered for professional AV installations, broadcast studios, and performance venues where centralized and convenient control over complex power sequencing is required for system safety and operational workflow.

The remote panel typically features a keyswitch for secure, authorized control of the main power sequence, preventing accidental or unauthorized system shutdowns or startups. Alongside the key, it includes a prominent master power button and status LEDs that provide visual confirmation of the sequencer's operational state, such as power on, standby, or fault conditions. Some models may include additional indicators for individual outlet bank status or system voltage. The unit connects to the main CQ Series sequencer via a multi-conductor control cable, carrying control signals and status feedback between the two units.

Housed in a single rack unit (1U) steel chassis with a standard 19-inch mounting width, the RC5-RM is built to match the professional aesthetics of a equipment rack. By providing a secure, front-accessible control point, this remote panel enhances both the safety and convenience of operating a sequenced power system. It ensures that critical power-up and power-down procedures can be managed reliably from an ergonomic location, integrating power management seamlessly into the user's daily operational routine.
