2 Channel Remote Control for STICK-ONs-Black

The RDL DB-RC2ST is a black, two-channel remote control designed for remote selection of two audio sources, destinations, or functions. It places one momentary pushbutton on each channel and pairs the selectors with two red LED indicators that show which channel is selected. The unit switches one of two module functions through current-limited open-collector outputs and supports either 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring. Its clean, professional appearance is designed to coordinate with other RDL remote controls.

Ideal Use Cases

The DB-RC2ST is suited to applications where an operator needs a straightforward way to choose between two audio sources, two destinations, or two system functions. Its dedicated pushbutton for each channel eliminates the need to step through selections, while the corresponding red LED provides immediate visual confirmation of the selected channel. The controller can also remotely switch one of two compatible module functions using its open-collector outputs.

Because the unit mounts in a standard US electrical box, it can be incorporated into wall-based control locations. It is also compatible with RDL WB- or SMB-series boxes, making it useful when an RDL mounting solution is preferred. A cover plate is available separately.

Why Choose This Model

The primary advantage of the DB-RC2ST is its focused two-channel interface. Each source or function has its own momentary pushbutton, so selection is direct and clearly defined. Two red LEDs indicate the selected channel, giving the user visible status information at the control point.

The detachable terminal block supports connections for power input and the two open-collector outputs. These outputs are current limited to 25 mA. The controller operates from a ground-referenced 24 Vdc supply at 30 mA. Recommended power supplies are the RDL PS-24AS for USA applications and the PS-24AX for international applications.

Installation and Integration

The DB-RC2ST supports both 3-wire and 4-wire remote wiring, allowing it to fit the applicable wiring arrangement of the connected system. Power and open-collector output connections are presented on a detachable terminal block, which provides a defined connection point for installation and servicing.

Mounting options include a standard US electrical box as well as RDL WB- or SMB-series boxes. The cover plate is sold separately and should be accounted for when planning the finished installation. The specified ambient operating range is 10°C to 55°C. Installations must also provide the required ground-referenced 24 Vdc power at 30 mA.

Performance Highlights

Two momentary pushbuttons provide one selector for each channel, supporting single-button selection for either source or function. Two red LEDs identify the selected channel. The open-collector switching interface controls one of two module functions, with the outputs limited to 25 mA.

The controller combines these selection, indication, and switching functions in a dedicated remote interface. Its 3-wire or 4-wire wiring support gives installers two documented remote-wiring configurations, while the detachable terminal block consolidates the power input and output connections.

What Makes It Different

Unlike a controller that requires repeated button presses to move between choices, the DB-RC2ST assigns a separate pushbutton to each of its two channels. This arrangement makes the available selections visible at the panel and pairs each selection with a red status LED. It is specifically described for remote control of two audio sources, destinations, or functions and as a companion to other RDL remote controls.

The black finish and professional aesthetic support use alongside related RDL controls. Compatibility with standard US electrical boxes and RDL box families provides documented mounting choices without changing the controller’s two-channel operating format.

Final Assessment

The RDL DB-RC2ST provides a concise control point for selecting between two audio sources, destinations, or module functions. Its two momentary pushbuttons, two red selection LEDs, current-limited open-collector outputs, and support for 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring define a practical interface for compatible systems. With standard electrical-box mounting, RDL box compatibility, and a detachable terminal block, it brings the essential selection and connection features together in a professional black remote control.
