4 Channel Remote Control for RU-ASX4D and RU-ASX4DR-Stainless

Ideal Use Cases

The RDL DS-RC4M is intended for installations that require remote selection of four sources through an RDL RU-ASX4D or RU-ASX4DR. Its four-button layout supports either a single control point or a system distributed across multiple control locations. Up to ten remote locations can be used, making the DS-RC4M suitable when the same four-source selection must be accessible from several positions. The stainless-steel finish and compact dimensions provide a professional appearance for permanent wall-mounted installations.

Why Choose This Model

Each of the four sources has a dedicated momentary pushbutton, enabling direct, single-button selection without stepping through channels. Four green LEDs provide clear visual confirmation by indicating the selected channel. This straightforward control arrangement combines source selection and status indication in one interface. The DS-RC4M is also designed as a companion to other RDL remote controls, helping it maintain a consistent appearance alongside related control products.

Installation and Integration

The DS-RC4M mounts in a standard US electrical box or in RDL WB- or SMB-series boxes. It measures 4.11 inches high by 1.31 inches wide by 0.98 inches deep, equivalent to 10.44 by 3.33 by 2.49 centimeters. A detachable terminal block is provided for connections, and the controller interfaces directly with the RDL RU-ASX4D and RU-ASX4DR. Remote wiring can use six conductors or UTP cable, including CAT5 and CAT6. Its power requirement is a ground-referenced 24 Vdc at 30 mA. These defined mounting, wiring, and connection requirements make it possible to plan the control locations and supporting cabling before installation.

Performance Highlights

Four momentary pushbuttons provide one selector for each channel, while four green indicators identify the active selection. The display remains bright during adjustment so the current operation can be seen clearly, then dims after the adjustment is complete. The controller supports both single and multiple control-location configurations, with as many as ten remote control locations. It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures from 0 degrees C to 55 degrees C.

What Makes It Different

The DS-RC4M combines direct four-source access, individual channel indication, and support for distributed control locations in a compact wall-mounted format. Unlike a sequential selector, its dedicated buttons allow each source to be selected directly. Six-conductor and CAT5/CAT6 UTP wiring options provide defined choices for connecting remote locations. The stainless-steel model offers a professional aesthetic, while the product is also listed as available in black and white versions. Its direct interface with the RU-ASX4D and RU-ASX4DR establishes a clearly specified integration path.

Final Assessment

For an RDL RU-ASX4D or RU-ASX4DR system requiring remote four-source selection, the DS-RC4M delivers dedicated pushbutton control, green LED channel feedback, and support for up to ten control locations. Its standard electrical-box mounting, detachable terminal block, CAT5/CAT6 compatibility, compact dimensions, and stainless-steel appearance make it a focused control solution with clearly documented installation and operating requirements.
