LynTec to Exhibit at USITT's 2014 Stage Expo

	LynTec's RPCR

LynTec will exhibit at USITT's 2014 Stage Expo in booth 1517, March 27 - 29, in Fort Worth, Texas. Mark Bishop, president of LynTec says: "The past year has been a very exciting time for LynTec, and we are looking forward to bringing our new theater-focused solutions to USITT 2014. Among our award-winning products on display will be the industry-changing RPCM intelligent power distribution panel, which provides portability and built-in Web capabilities for complete mobile power management, protection, and control. We will also exhibit our entire RPC line of remote power control systems -- now featuring the latest motorized breaker technology, enhancements for LED lighting applications, and the market's only emergency auto-on function for egress lighting requirements. We are very enthusiastic to be back at USITT and look forward to a successful event in Fort Worth."

LynTec's all-new, award-winning Remote Power Control Mobile (RPCM) is an intelligent power distribution panel that brings three new features to the mobile power distribution market. First, the RPCM uses switch-grade motorized circuit breakers to provide remotely managed electrical protection and on/off control within a single enclosure. Second, the unit offers current monitoring at the branch circuit level -- enabling real-time current draw on a branch breaker, phase, or panel basis in addition to notification alarms that alert users of electrical panel anomalies via text or email. Third, the RPCM's built-in Web server enables users to monitor and control distribution with ease, directly on the network, from a Web interface on any browser-enabled smart device. RPCM also interfaces with most third-party control systems using IP, DMX, and sACN protocols.

Ideal for temporary live events in settings including houses of worship, stadiums, and theaters, the RPCM provides direct on/off control for LED lighting and takes loads out of standby mode by directly shutting down circuits -- reducing energy and system maintenance costs, and facilitating more sustainable setups within a portable, road case design.

LynTec's Remote Power Controller (RPC) Series Panel version 2 combines the latest motorized breaker technology with a new and improved controller featuring more memory, a faster processor for real-time monitoring down to the circuit level, and the capacity to use multiple control protocols simultaneously -- now including sACN. These new features complement the device's onboard server with network or smart-device access, load-specified switch-grade motorized circuit breakers, built-in auto-off brownout protection using controlled circuit breaker shutdown and restart, optional sequential circuit level on/off capabilities, and ability to interface with third-party control systems via contact closure, TCP/IP, DMX, or RS-232.

This new version also provides the market's only auto-on function to activate egress lighting via contact closure inputs from fire alarms in the event of an emergency. Supporting UL 924 requirements, the upgrade replaces the need for separate emergency lighting panels and high voltage switches. The software also turns on lighting circuits regardless of control protocol or zone assignment -- similar to the function of existing emergency-off or kill features used for silencing sound reinforcement systems during alarms.

Ideal for houses of worship, schools, performing arts centers, auditoriums, and other large assembly spaces, LynTec's RPCR is the only relay panel built specifically for the entertainment industry. Based on LynTec's RPC series panel, the RPCR brings branch circuit control and monitoring to any existing breaker panel, regardless of brand, make, or model. The unit combines relay functionality with a built-in Web server to provide remote electrical control to applications, including LED lighting, powered amplifiers, and energy management programs. Additionally, a Web-enabled browser-based interface allows users to set up, troubleshoot, control, and monitor relay status remotely across existing networks -- resulting in simpler, more efficient power management from any computer, tablet, or handheld smart device. The point-and-click interface enables users to set up zones easily, perform sequential on/off switching and scheduling, activate emergency overrides, and provide dependable brownout protection.
