Remote Level Controller-Ramp-stainless steel

The RDL DS-RLC2 is a stainless-steel remote level control panel designed for installations that require pushbutton level adjustment and clear visual indication. Its front-panel UP and DOWN controls are paired with a 10-segment level display, providing a straightforward interface for operating a connected RDL control module. The panel supports multiple control and indication locations while presenting the premium-quality, professional appearance specified for this model.

Ideal Use Cases

The DS-RLC2 is suited to installed systems where level control must be placed at a convenient wall location rather than at the associated control module. Its compact format and support for standard US electrical-box mounting make it appropriate for fixed control points in professional environments. Multiple control and indication locations are supported, allowing the model to serve applications that need access to level adjustment from more than one position. The visual display also makes it useful where operators need to see the current level represented across 10 segments while using dedicated pushbuttons for adjustment.

Why Choose This Model

This model combines three essential control functions in one panel: UP adjustment, DOWN adjustment, and visual level indication. Pressing either button sends the corresponding signal back to the RDL control module. When the DS-RLC2 is connected to an RU-VCA2A, pressing both buttons simultaneously causes the level to return to the PRESET level on the RU-VCA2A. This documented two-button function provides direct access to the connected module’s preset behavior without adding another control to the panel. The stainless-steel format, premium-quality construction, and professional aesthetic appearance make the DS-RLC2 suitable for visible installation locations.

Installation and Integration

The DS-RLC2 measures 4.11 inches high, 1.72 inches wide, and 1.66 inches deep. It mounts in a standard US electrical box or in RDL WB- or SMB-series boxes. A cover plate is available separately. Electrical connections are made through a detachable terminal block, helping define a clear interface between the installed panel and the associated system wiring.

The panel requires ground-referenced 24 Vdc power at 75 mA. The recommended supply is the PS-24AS for USA installations or the PS-24AX for international installations. Its ramp input accepts 0 to 10 Vdc. The UP and DOWN outputs are pushbutton actuated and specified at 15 Vdc at 5 mA. These published requirements should be matched to the connected equipment and power source during system planning and installation.

Performance Highlights

A 10-segment visual level display provides the panel’s level indication, while separate UP and DOWN pushbuttons provide direct control. This layout keeps operation focused on the functions identified for the DS-RLC2. The model can be deployed at multiple control and indication locations, supporting systems in which remote adjustment and visual feedback are needed at different points.

The specified ambient operating range is 0° C to 55° C. The combination of a 0 to 10 Vdc ramp input, pushbutton-actuated 15 Vdc outputs, and a detachable terminal-block connection defines its primary control interface. For RU-VCA2A installations, the simultaneous button command adds documented access to the PRESET level alongside normal UP and DOWN operation.

What Makes It Different

The DS-RLC2 distinguishes itself by placing level control, a segmented visual display, and RU-VCA2A preset access on a compact remote panel. Rather than providing an unmarked general-purpose interface, it offers dedicated UP and DOWN controls with an accompanying 10-segment display. Its ability to support multiple control and indication locations expands how the interface can be positioned within an installed system. The stainless-steel panel and professional aesthetic also address installations where the appearance of visible control hardware matters.

RDL provides a specification-sheet PDF as well as American DXF resources for the engineering functional block and front and rear panel diagrams. These resources complement the published dimensions and mounting information when planning the panel’s placement.

Final Assessment

The RDL DS-RLC2 is a focused choice for remote level-control applications requiring pushbutton operation, 10-segment visual indication, and a compact wall-mounted format. Its standard electrical-box compatibility, detachable terminal block, defined 24 Vdc power requirement, and 0 to 10 Vdc ramp input provide concrete information for integration. For systems using the RU-VCA2A, simultaneous operation of both buttons also provides a direct way to return to that module’s PRESET level. The result is a premium remote panel with clearly specified controls, installation requirements, and operating behavior.
