2 Channel Remote Control for STICK-ONs-stainless steel

Ideal Use Cases

The RDL DS-RC2ST is a stainless-steel two-channel remote control designed for installations that require a dedicated physical selection point. It provides remote selection of two audio sources, two destinations, or two module functions. The focused two-choice layout is appropriate when an operator needs direct access to either channel without navigating menus or using a multi-function control panel.

• Select between two audio sources from a remote location.
• Choose one of two destinations in an audio installation.
• Control one of two compatible module functions.

Why Choose This Model

Each channel has its own momentary pushbutton, giving both available selections a dedicated control. Two red LEDs indicate which channel is selected, providing visible confirmation at the control location. The DS-RC2ST combines this straightforward operating layout with the professional aesthetic appearance specified for the model. It is also designed as a companion to other RDL remote controls, making it suitable for installations that already use compatible RDL control products.

Installation and Integration

The DS-RC2ST mounts in a standard US electrical box or in RDL WB- and SMB-series boxes. A cover plate is available separately. Connections are made through a detachable terminal block that accommodates the power input and open-collector outputs. Installers can use either 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring, providing two documented wiring options for integration with the associated equipment.

The controller requires ground-referenced 24 Vdc power at 30 mA. The listed recommended supplies are the RDL PS-24AS for the USA and the PS-24AX for international applications. These electrical and grounding requirements should be confirmed against the planned system before installation.

Performance Highlights

The controller provides open-collector switching for one of two module functions. Its open-collector outputs are current limited to 25 mA. Selection is performed by two momentary pushbuttons, with one button assigned to each channel. A corresponding red LED identifies the selected channel, keeping control and indication together in the same two-channel interface.

The specified ambient operating range is 10 degrees C to 55 degrees C. This operating specification, along with the power, output-current, and wiring requirements, provides the core information needed to assess the controller for a particular installation.

What Makes It Different

The DS-RC2ST concentrates on a defined task: remote control of two choices. Rather than combining unrelated controls, it presents two dedicated buttons and two selected-channel indicators. Its support for sources, destinations, or module functions gives the same control format several documented applications. The stainless-steel designation and professional aesthetic appearance distinguish this model where the visible control surface is part of the installation.

Compatibility with standard US electrical boxes and RDL WB- or SMB-series boxes also provides clearly specified mounting paths. Detachable terminal-block connections and the choice of 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring further define how the unit can be incorporated into a compatible system.

Final Assessment

The RDL DS-RC2ST is a purpose-built option for installations needing remote selection between two audio sources, destinations, or functions. Its two momentary pushbuttons, red channel indicators, 25 mA current-limited open-collector outputs, and 24 Vdc power requirement establish a concise control specification. It is especially relevant when a stainless-steel, professional-looking two-channel controller is required as a standalone selection point or as a companion to other RDL remote controls.

Before ordering, verify the required 3-wire or 4-wire connection arrangement, ground-referenced power compatibility, output requirements, and mounting box. The cover plate is available separately. A specification-sheet PDF and American DXF files for the engineering functional block and front and rear panel diagrams are identified in the supplied product data.
