Remote Control Selector-Black

The black RDL DB-RT2 is a dedicated remote control selector for ON or OFF operation. Its front panel provides two momentary pushbuttons, assigning one button to each function, while adjacent green and red LEDs indicate ON and OFF status respectively. Separate open-collector outputs provide the switching interface for each selection, and the detachable terminal block accommodates power and control connections.

Ideal Use Cases

The DB-RT2 is suited to audio or video control installations that require a fixed, accessible point for remote ON/OFF selection. Its two-button arrangement is useful when operators need separate controls for the two functions instead of a shared selector. The unit may also be mounted adjacent to an RDL remote volume control, including the RLC2, RLC3 or RLC10K, creating a coordinated location for selection and level controls.

Why Choose This Model

Each function has its own momentary pushbutton, making the available selections immediately identifiable. A green LED indicates ON status, while a red LED indicates OFF status, providing a direct visual reference beside the controls. The black front-panel appearance is intended for professional installations and complements other RDL remote controls. Support for either 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring gives system designers two documented wiring approaches.

Installation and Integration

The DB-RT2 mounts in a standard US electrical box or in an RDL WB- or SMB-series box. A cover plate is available separately, allowing the required plate to be selected as part of the installation. Electrical connections are made through a detachable terminal block with a power input and separate open-collector outputs for ON and OFF. Each output is rated for a maximum of 25 mA.

The selector requires ground-referenced 24 Vdc power at 30 mA. The listed recommended power supplies are the PS-24AS for USA applications and the PS-24AX for international applications. Installers should account for the separate cover plate and the required power supply when planning the complete control point. The supported ambient operating range is 0° C to 55° C.

Performance Highlights

• Remote selection of ON or OFF through two dedicated momentary pushbuttons
• Green and red LED indication for ON and OFF status respectively
• Separate open-collector outputs with a 25 mA maximum rating
• Support for 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring
• Detachable terminal block for power and switching connections
• Ground-referenced 24 Vdc operation at 30 mA

These characteristics define the DB-RT2 as a focused control interface rather than a general-purpose control panel. Its operation, indication and output connections are organized around the two specified states.

What Makes It Different

The DB-RT2 combines individual ON and OFF controls, corresponding status LEDs and independent open-collector outputs in a wall-mountable RDL format. This separation keeps the user interface and control wiring aligned: each front-panel function has a dedicated button, visible indication and output. Its ability to sit beside compatible-format RDL remote volume controls also supports a consistent professional aesthetic across an audio or video control installation.

Product documentation is available as a PDF specification sheet. Engineering resources listed for the model include an American DXF functional block file and American DXF front and rear panel diagrams. Package dimensions are 3.625 x 4.625 x 2.125 inches, shipping weight is 0.365 pounds and WEEE weight is 0.22 pounds.

Final Assessment

The RDL DB-RT2 is a purpose-built black remote selector for installations requiring distinct ON and OFF pushbuttons, visible green/red status indication and separate open-collector switching outputs. Its standard electrical-box mounting, detachable terminal block and documented 3-wire or 4-wire options support planned integration into professional audio or video control systems.
