Mexico. LynTec's RPC Series 341 remote control switch panel was successfully installed at José Peón Contreras Teatro in Merida, Mexico. Lead consultant and lighting designer Aleksandar Lalicki selected it to bring reliable and intelligent power control to the theater's new LED lighting system.
"When my engineer and installer first placed the LynTec panel, he told me, 'Don't use relays and a switch panel with the switches again. This is the immediate solution, designed and built by engineers for engineers,'" Lalicki said. "Since then, with every new project we've been involved in, we specify LynTec panels. In addition, we can get the panels quickly, in four weeks. We like to do things once and do it well, in time and reliability: LynTec fits that philosophy."
For the lighting design at the Teatro Peón Contreras, a classic opera house dating back to the early twentieth century, Lalicki brought a large number of lighting sources, including the GLP X4 and Impression S350 LED moving heads. To control the new LED lights, he specified the LynTec RPC 341 remote control switch panel to run both LED circuits and 220-volt moving light circuits.
Eliminating the hassle of installing and connecting custom-designed products and a separate relay panel, the RPC offers reliable switching capabilities and simple circuit control and monitoring for the theater on one panel. The power control solution is based on the G3 PowerlinkTM hardware platform universally recognized by Square D, ensuring that panels are quick and easy to wire while providing additional circuit-switching control capabilities in the same enclosure, and granting flexible lighting and AV control through multiple zone controls and multiple control protocols, including HTTP, Telnet, sACN, DMX, and RS-232.
LynTec RPC panels support between 30 and 84 circuit breaker positions without increasing the width of the cabinet. Now, instead of having one attenuator per circuit and one plug per circuit, there is a circuit that branches out to four outputs to provide Pawn with the comprehensive circuit switching control it requires to manage and protect its LED lighting package.
"The José Peón Contreras Theater is part of the fabric of what makes Merida an amazing place to live and visit," said Mark Bishop, president of LynTec. "This facility exemplifies how historic architecture and our modern energy control solutions can come together to create a live event space that not only complements performances but also overcomes any energy issues that may affect the operation of newly installed audio, video and lighting investments."
