CQ-SERIES
SEQUENCED POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
The Juice Goose CQ Series products are power distribution devices that will
control AC power application to multiple pieces of equipment. The primary in-
tent of the design of this equipment is to power rack mounted audio or video
equipment with electric power current requirements of less than 15 amps, 20
amps or 30 amps depending on the CQ model being considered.
All CQ Series products can be remote activated. Several CQ devices can be
connected to form a power sequencing system that includes multiple circuits in
multiple locations.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CQ Series products are designed to operate at 120 volts, 60 hertz. Operation
with any voltage or frequency other than that can damage the equipment and
create an unsafe situation.
CAUTION #1: All CQ devices must be grounded. If a power extension cord is
required, use a properly insulated and grounded cord. Failure to ground the
device could expose the user to dangerous electric shock.
CAUTION #2: All CQ devices should be installed only by qualified electrical
technicians using appropriate mounting hardware and correct installation tech-
niques. When installing make sure main power is off before attaching the CQ
device. There are no user serviceable parts inside any of the CQ products.
CAUTION #3: Do not expose the CQ product to moisture or salty air. Doing so
could cause significant damage and create an unsafe condition.

INSTALLATION
CQ 1515 & CQ 1520 —Mount the CQ-1515 or CQ-1520 to a 19” wide rack
with metal mounting rails, designed with 1.75” spacing. Use appropriate rack
mounting hardware. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Do not de-
feat the grounding feature of the power cord.
CQ 1, CQ 2200, CQ 3000 & CQ-PD1-4 -These products were designed to be
installed only by qualified electrical technicians. Failure to follow correct instal-
lation techniques and instructions could result in equipment damage and/or
personal injury.
CQ 1 -This product should be installed in a three gang utility box mounted
inside a wall. The installation process may vary depending on whether the
installation is in new or retrofit construction. Fit the utility box into the space
where the CQ 1 will be installed.
CAUTION: Be certain power has been turned off at the breaker panel or dis-
connected before installation. (ATTENTION: certains power a été désac-
tivé sur le panneau de disjoncteur ou déconnecté avant l'installation.)
Pull the main power cable and the RJ45 signal cable(s) into position inside the
utility box. Connect the power feed to the corresponding colored wires on the
CQ 1 using wire nuts or another acceptable method. Plug the input signal ca-
ble into the Input port on the CQ1 and the output cable into the Output port.
Install the CQ 1 enclosure and cover plate onto the utility box with the screws
provided with the unit.
CQ 2200 & CQ 3000 are intended to be hardwired to a main utility power sup-
ply with power cable routed through conduit. A “squeeze” type conduit connec-
tor is assembled onto the CQ back box specifically for this purpose. A power
line strain relief is also included in the box with the CQ device in case alternate
power connection is necessary.
These two CQ Series models have front panel and a back box construction
that are held together with seven screws. To begin installation, remove the
screws that hold these two pieces together. The back box has four holes in
the back surface. These holes are large enough to accommodate mounting
screws or bolts (not included) to hold the CQ device securely to a stable, flat
mounting surface, such as a wall. At least two screws or bolts should be used
to mount the back box.
CAUTION: Be certain power has been turned off at the breaker panel or dis-
connected before installation. (ATTENTION: certains power a été désac-
tivé sur le panneau de disjoncteur ou déconnecté avant l'installation.)
After the back box is secured, feed the cable that is connected to the desired
power source through the hole in the side of the back box. Securely crimp a
connector (provided) to the end of each wire lead (hot, neutral and ground).
Press the connectors onto the appropriate locations on the circuit board as

labeled. Attach the front panel (containing the circuit board) to the back box
using all seven screws. Gently pull excess cable length out of the box by
tugging slightly on the cable from the outside of the box. Insert conduit into
squeeze connector and tighten the connector to hold the conduit in place.
CQ-PD1-4 -The CQ-PD1-4 has two slotted side brackets that can be relo-
cated along the length of the chassis. Use only appropriate hardware (not
included) and use four mounting holes to secure the device. The wire har-
ness should be connected directly to a circuit breaker panel or to an appro-
priate junction box.
SIGNAL CABLE ASSEMBLY
The interconnecting CQ Series devices requires eight wire, RJ-45 cable.
While this is the same component used to assemble CAT5 and CAT6 ca-
bles, orientation of the connectors on the CQ Series cable is slightly differ-
ent than for the CAT data networking cable. Therefore, standard CAT5 or
CAT6 cables will not work with CQ Series devices.
After crimping a RJ45 connector on one end of the eight wire cable, attach a
connector on the other end “upside down” from the first so that when the
connectors are placed side by side the wire orientation will appear as shown
in the above illustration. Check the cable with a continuity tester prior to in-
stallation.
There is no known distance limit for the connection of CQ units by means of
this cable system. The CQ signal is not sensitive to voltage changes or fre-
quency interference.

REMOTE SWITCH CONNECTION
Although a Juice Goose CQ Series product can be remote controlled with a
Juice Goose RC-5 accessory or another CQ device, it can also be remote
activated with a simple contact closure using a switch or relay. The following
instructions are provided to assist with this configuration. This information is
also useful for assembling interface wiring going to and from the RJ type
cable specified for the CQ system.
SINGLE POLE DOUBLE THROW
LATCHING SWITCH
In the illustration below, connecting a single pole, double throw (SPDT)
switch to the signal input line of a CQ Series device will control the se-
quence up and down activity. Closing Pin 3 to Pin 7 will begin a sequence
UP. Closing Pin 4 to Pin 7 will begin a sequence DOWN. Closing both 3 and
4 to 7 will PAUSE. the sequence process. The control switch on the chassis
will be inoperative, except for the Manual On feature, when there is such a
contact closure on the input line.

OPERATION
These versatile CQ devices can be controlled by way of either another CQ
device, a remote latching contact closure, a Juice Goose RC5 accessory
unit or the switch on the CQ device itself (except the CQ 1).

PIN ASSIGNMENTS
The chart above shows assigned locations for each
of the eight pins on the RJ45 connectors on the CQ
Series Signal Input and Output. Note: although
there are eight pins, only the middle six are being
used.
This information may be used to connect a latching
contact, as per the diagram on the previous page.
It also illustrates the reversed orientation of the
connectors on each end of a CQ signal cable.
Pin assignments are correct when viewed from the
outside of the chassis.

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 Crestron and similar
companies will also work to control the CQ system.
RC-5 REMOTE ACCESSORY -Juice Goose offers, as an accessory, the
RC-5 Remote Control/Monitor. These devices provide sequence control
as well as indicators to show the status of the power sequencing opera-
tion. 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, CQ 3000 and CQ
PD1-4 have three positions: Sequence up, Sequence Down and Manual
On. The Sequence 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 position allows activation of the CQ device. (Note: the Manual
On option does not provide sequencing). The CQ 1515 and CQ1520 have
a two position sequence switch and a second, recessed 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 number
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 RC-5 remote and monitor devices
that provide indications of sequence operation and completion. For more
information about the RC-5, contact your Juice Goose dealer, refer to the
Juice Goose product catalog or visit our website, www.juicegoose.com.

IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION
The Juice Goose CQ Series of products are ruggedly constructed and contain quality components.
There are no user serviceable parts inside a CQ device. Unauthorized service will void all existing
warranties and may result in equipment damage and personal injury.
Should improper performance be observed consult the following guidelines for diagnosis.
SYMPTOMS AND SOLUTIONS.
(NOTE: References to LEDs and circuit breakers do not apply to the CQ-1 and CQ-PD1-4)
1. Unit will not turn on.
a. Check to see that main utility power is available.
b. Check that the circuit breaker on the CQ unit is not tripped.
c. Check the Processor LED on the chassis. If it is not lit the CQ device is probably not
receiving power. If it is lit but not flashing the CQ processor is not running. Remove power from the CQ
device by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker that feeds the unit. Then restore power to reset
the CQ processor. The CQ processor has an automatic reset (“watchdog”) feature. However, should
the processor “freeze”, removing and returning power to the device should correct the malfunction.
d. If the device is being remotely activated:
i. Check the signal line leading to the CQ signal input. Disconnect the signal
input cable and try to activate the CQ product with the switch on the chassis. If this works either the
cable is bad or the control device intended to remote control the CQ in question is failing to create the
correct contact closure. If possible, exchange the cable in question with a known good cable. If this
does not solve the problem examine the remote activation device and its connections to the cable.
ii. Refer to the manual’s Signal Cable Assembly and Remote Switch Connec-
tion sections.
iii. If the CQ device is being operated by another CQ unit check that controlling
unit. Is the controlling unit operating properly? Is its Processor LED flashing?
2. Unit will not turn off.
a. It is likely that when a unit fails to turn off the cause is similar to that which would cause
a unit to fail to turn on.
b. Follow steps outline in 1 c. and d., above.
c. Once a system of interconnected CQ devices is turned on, a specific CQ device will not
turn off if the device following it in the turn-on sequence is still on. Check the CQ device following the
CQ device in question. Has it turned off properly? If not, check all the following units to the end of the
CQ system. Follow the steps in 1., above regarding the last unit that is misperforming.
3. Unit turns itself off unexpectedly.
a. The unit may have encountered excessive current draw that caused the circuit breaker
to trip. Examine the breaker. If it has tripped, the button section of the breaker will be extended and
can be reset by pushing it in after the unit has been off for a brief period.
b. Review the current requirement of the equipment plugged into the CQ device and com-
pare it to the amperage rating of the CQ device in question. See the Detail Specification section of this
manual.
If the problem can not be remedied or if the encountered problem is not listed here and particularly if
any evidence of severe or hazardous performance is observed, immediately disconnect power to the
CQ device and contact your local Juice Goose dealer or Juice Goose directly.
