Remote Control Selector-stainless steel

The RDL DS-RT2 is a stainless steel remote control selector that provides dedicated ON and OFF selection for audio, video, and related control installations. Two momentary pushbuttons place each function on its own control, while adjacent green and red LEDs indicate ON and OFF status respectively. Separate open-collector outputs support the two functions, and each output is rated for a maximum of 25 mA. The selector accommodates either 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring and uses a detachable terminal block for power and output connections.

Ideal Use Cases

The DS-RT2 is suited to installations that require remote selection between ON and OFF states from a clearly labeled wall-mounted control. Its separate buttons and status indicators make it appropriate for audio or video control systems where the selected mode needs to be visible at the control location. It can also be installed adjacent to an RDL remote volume control, including the D-RLC2, D-RLC3, or RLC10K, to combine level adjustment and ON/OFF selection within the same installation area.

Why Choose This Model

Each function has its own momentary pushbutton, giving ON and OFF separate physical controls. A green LED indicates ON status, while a red LED indicates OFF status. This arrangement provides direct selection and visible status without assigning multiple functions to a single button. The separate open-collector outputs for ON and OFF allow each command to be connected independently, with a maximum output rating of 25 mA. Support for both 3-wire and 4-wire remote wiring provides two documented wiring approaches for system integration.

Installation and Integration

The DS-RT2 mounts in a standard US electrical box or in RDL WB-series and SMB-series boxes. A compatible cover plate is available separately. In audio or video control installations, the selector may be positioned next to an RDL D-RLC2, D-RLC3, or RLC10K remote volume control. Its professional aesthetic appearance and stainless steel format are intended to complement other RDL remote controls.

Electrical connections are made through a detachable terminal block. The connection set includes the power input and separate open-collector outputs for the ON and OFF functions. The unit requires ground-referenced 24 Vdc power at 30 mA. The recommended power supplies listed in the source data are the RDL PS-24AS for the USA and the PS-24AX for international use. Installers should observe the 25 mA maximum rating for each open-collector output when connecting the selector to associated equipment.

Performance Highlights

Two momentary pushbuttons provide one selector for ON and one selector for OFF. Two status indicators provide green and red LED illumination, corresponding to ON and OFF respectively. The DS-RT2 is specified for operation in ambient temperatures from 0° C to 55° C. Its ground-referenced 24 Vdc power requirement and separate switching outputs define a straightforward control interface for compatible systems. The detachable terminal block also allows the power and switching conductors to be terminated at a removable connector.

For shipping and planning purposes, the listed package dimensions are 3.625 x 4.625 x 2.125 inches. Shipping weight and WEEE weight are both listed as 0.38 pounds, and the package type is a cardboard box.

What Makes It Different

The DS-RT2 combines dedicated ON and OFF buttons, separate open-collector outputs, and individual LED status indication in one remote selector. Its ability to use either 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring adds installation flexibility within the documented connection options. Compatibility with standard US electrical boxes and RDL WB-series or SMB-series boxes supports several mounting arrangements. Its role as a companion to other RDL remote controls is reinforced by the option to mount it beside specified RDL volume controls.

Final Assessment

The RDL DS-RT2 is a focused choice for remote ON/OFF selection where separate controls, visible status, and open-collector switching are required. It offers two momentary pushbuttons, green and red LED indication, separate 25 mA maximum outputs, and support for 3-wire or 4-wire remote wiring. With standard electrical-box mounting, detachable terminal connections, and a ground-referenced 24 Vdc power requirement, it provides clearly documented integration details for professional audio and video control installations.
