CE Certification of the RPCR, LCRP, and PDS Solutions Expands Access to Comprehensive Chauvet Offerings for Integrators Across Europe
LynTec, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chauvet and a leading manufacturer of innovative electrical power control solutions for professional audio, video, and lighting (AVL) systems, proudly announces that its RPCR, LCRP, and PDS product lines have received CE certification. This significant achievement marks a pivotal moment in LynTec’s expansion into the European market, ensuring compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements. Building on the excitement from the company’s inaugural appearance at ISE 2024, where LynTec showcased its cutting-edge power control solutions to EU dealers and distributors for the first time, the CE certification further solidifies LynTec’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality products to the EU market.
“This is a major milestone for LynTec,” said Mark Bishop, president of LynTec. “The CE certification opens new doors for us, allowing us to better serve our European customers with products that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Integrators can now access a combined package of Chauvet solutions globally, including our innovative power control systems, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced performance for their projects. We are thrilled to expand our footprint in the EU and provide the AVL industry with our trusted power control solutions. There’s much more to come this year and next, especially as we look forward to ISE 2026.”
The LCRP-12 panel builds on the reliable lighting, sequencing, and power control features of the company’s popular LCRP-10 relay panel, with a critical redesign that delivers additional cost savings and features, including compatibility with any DMX control system. The low-cost, feature-rich relay panel is available with four, eight or 12 30-amp, single-pole latching Panasonic relays installed in a compact, 1-square-foot NEMA 1R or 3R enclosure.
Similar to the LCRP, the PDS-12 panel improves the features of the legacy PDS-10 Relay Panel — one of the company’s most popular products — with a critical redesign that delivers additional cost savings and features. The PDS-12 is a cost-effective, robust relay panel with four, eight or 12 30-amp, single-pole latching Panasonic relays installed in a compact, 1-square-foot NEMA 1R or 3R enclosure.
Both the PDS-12 and the LCRP-12 panels feature individual step delays between each relay, emergency off by circuit, emergency on for lighting by circuit, as well as under- and overvoltage sensing for brownout and voltage spike protection. They’re easy to set up via an LED display and rotary encoder. They can be added to existing building automation systems.
LynTec’s RPCR combines relay functionality with a built-in web server to bring remote electrical control to applications, including LED lighting, powered amplifiers, and energy management programs. RPCR panels add on/off control to any existing circuit breaker panel installation and are compatible with popular control systems, such as ETC, Crestron, and AMX. In addition, the units offer the ability to control relays directly via TCP/IP, DMX, RS-232, or contact closure control systems.
All three panels feature overvoltage power protection function in addition to brownout protection, with the ability to monitor incoming voltage and automatically shut down selected circuits when the voltage reads 20% above or below the selected voltage level for two seconds. When the voltage stabilizes within 20% of the designated voltage for five seconds, then the power re-sequences on as programmed. The units also provide emergency power-on for egress lighting and shutdown capabilities for amplifiers with contact closure inputs from fire alarms. Users can simply select the power protection settings for each circuit.
Designed to eliminate the challenges of properly powering on digital audio systems, the panels can also customize the step rate — anywhere between 1 and 999 seconds — in between each circuit being controlled and decide the order that each circuit powers on. This allows each digital component in an AVL system to fully boot up before the next step of the sequence fires. As a result, system start-up is effortless and reliable.
From the controller’s embedded web server and browser-based interface, users can easily set the level of protection and step rates for each circuit and troubleshoot, control, and monitor relay status remotely across existing networks from any computer, tablet, or hand-held smart device. In addition, users can receive alert notifications via text or email to warn of voltage anomalies.
