The LRT-5 Lighted Rocker Tab board, with up to 16 tabs is used on organ consoles for stop and coupler controls.

Description

Rocker tabs cost considerably less than movable drawknobs or tongue tabs. It is also simpler to light LEDs than move tabs physically and the power requirements are much less. 

The LRT-5 has a group of 16 sprung rocker tabs that are pressed momentarily at the bottom to turn a stop On, or at the top to turn it Off. A LED indicates the On state.

Multiple boards can be used this way with the Classic LCS control system or with Hauptwerk. 

A single USB connector provides both data and +5V power but a powered hub must be used for multiple LRT boards.

There is no light spill between tabs and each tab cover can be easily removed for engraving. 

Tabs are at 0.95-inch centres and the board mounts horizontally behind a wooden panel of ¾- inch thickness using screws above and below.

LRT-5 boards may be butted end-to-end for longer rows with no gaps. They can be shortened to a minimum of three contiguous positions with three-to-sixteen tabs butted together for installations requiring fewer than 16 in a block. 

Boards can also be butted together on a traditional name board leaving out single tabs to separate the divisions.
