11.4 WR-5 Programmable Button Controller (nXp, limited nXe)
The WR-5 (see WR-5 owner's manual) is a programmable button remote control which mounts into a standard US elec-
trical wall box and is wired to the four back panel data port pins labeled "G, +18, Out, and In". Maximum wire length is 1000
ft using #24 gauge twisted pair. A decora cover plate (not included) can be purchased at hardware stores to cover the electrical
box and satisfy the aesthetic needs of the installation. The WR-5 is phantom powered from the amplier. Up to four different
WR-5 remotes can be wired in series and phantom powered from one amplier, and more remotes can be added by using an
Ashly RPS-18 remote power supply or equivalent. To avoid potential static discharge disruptions to the WR-5 or it's data signal,
be sure to connect the decora plate and WR-5 frame directly to Earth Ground at the point of installation. Do not use the data
ground wire as Earth Ground.
WR-5 buttons are programmed from Protea
ne
software af-
ter the WR-5 is wired to the amplier and assigned a unique ID
number in its WR-5 device window. Controlled functions include
preset recall/scroll, mute, zone source selection, individual chan-
nel and matrix point level control. Each button has a status LED.
A clear window is provided for custom button labels.
11.5 RD-8C Serial Data Fader Control (nXp
only) The RD-8C and RW-8C are eight channel remote slide
fader controllers which connect to the amplier's data port pins
"G, +18, Out, and In" for assignable remote level control of am-
plier input, matrix mixer, or output gain stages. Maximum cable
length is 1000 ft using #24 gauge twisted pair. The RD-8C is a
desktop controller, while the RW-8C mounts as a wall plate using
a standard North American 4-gang electrical box. Both units use
Euroblock connectors for wiring.. There are eight channels and
a master, each with a fader control and an on/off button. Note:
Only one RD-8C can be used per amplier, and use of an RD-8C
will exclude the use of the data port for a WR-5. One or the other
remote control device may be connected, but not both. For more
information, see the RD-8C owner's manual on the ashly website.
