Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor

10.4 WR-5 Programmable Zone Controller

The WR-5 is a microprocessor based programmable remote control unit. Using Protea NE software, six function

select buttons and two parameter adjust buttons are used to control a limited range of assigned functions within the WR-5's

host ne24.24M. Up to four WR-5 units can be daisy-chained and phantom powered from one ne24.24M, and even more can be

added using an in-line power supply adapter such as the Ashly RPS-18. Note: If a WR-5 is used, no other serial communica-

tions devices, including the Ashly RD-8C, may be used with the ne24.24M.

The WR-5 is designed to t into a standard electrical wall box. Electrical connections to the ne24.24M are made using

a four conductor low gauge wire terminated with euroblock connectors. There is also a two pin jumper labelled “J6” which

requires the provided female jumper to be installed if the WR-5 is the last one in the data chain, even if there is only one WR-5.

Note: The WR-5E is the functional equivalent to the WR-5, designed to t into European electrical boxes. A standard decora

plate (not included) can be purchased at most hardware stores to cover the WR-5 electrical box and satisfy the aesthetic needs

of the installation.

Each of six buttons on the WR-5 can be programmed through Protea NE Software to engage one of the following

functions (if available): preset recall, preset scroll, gain control, channel engage/mute, zone source selection, logic output active

high, logic output active low, and matrix mixer, with a green LED next to each button to display active status. To the right of

each button is a pocket in the mylar overlay for a paper function label to be inserted. The two other buttons are used to adjust

function parameters, indicated by the LED display. Further installation details are available in the User Reference provided

with each WR-5.
