You Need The RUC-4!
The RUC-4 is a wall mounted remote control from Radio Design Labs offered in the ULTRASTYLE™ design. The
complete all metal enclosure is attractively finished in two coordinated neutral colors to complement the broad range
of decor encountered in commercial environments. The exclusive ULTRASTYLE products are intended for
installations demanding the ultimate in professional styling combined with durability, longevity and value.
APPLICATION: The RUC-4 is an ULTRASTYLE wall control that is easily programmed to control a wide variety of
RDL and other industry equipment.
Corresponding LEDs display the status of the associated function. The RUC-4 is programmed for the desired
operation when it is installed. Each button can be set to produce a momentary output, a latched output, or can be
set to interlock with any of the other buttons on the front panel. Four output terminals on the rear panel are
individually programmable as open-collector, or may be set to produce +15 V when active. Four status input
terminals on the rear panel are provided for LED control. Each LED can be programmed to respond to the rear-
panel terminal, or to its corresponding button's function. The RUC-4 also has a selectable lockout mode that requires
users to enter a 5 button sequence to unlock the normal button functions. After 10 seconds of inactivity, the buttons
automatically relock. Two front-panel LEDs, LOCKED or UNLOCKED, indicate the status of the RUC-4. If the
lockout feature is not programmed at installation, the green UNLOCKED LED is illuminated continuously. A non-
volatile memory retains the programming settings when power is disconnected.
The complete programming flexibility allows any combination of button and indicator functions. Two buttons can
interlock as source selectors while the other two may operate a remote VCA for level control. Two pairs of buttons
can be independently interlocked. Three buttons could interlock while the fourth button toggles system power on and
off. The combinations are nearly limitless when used with RDL modules.
Programming is simple. The installer enters a programming access code on the front-panel buttons, then selects one
of 6 programming modes using buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 & 2 or 3 & 4. The modes are: Interlocking or non-interlocking,
Toggle or Momentary, LED Internal or External, Output +15 Vdc or open-collector, Lockout On/Off and Buttons
Active or Inactive. Changes made to the settings in a mode are automatically stored after 10 seconds of button
inactivity. Then the installer may select another programming mode. If another mode is not selected within 10
seconds, the RUC-4 resumes normal operation.
Used alone or in conjunction with other RDL RACK-UP
RUC-4 can be the foundation for many innovative audio systems!
