Ashly neWR-5 Remote Control User Reference

Introduction

The neWR-5 is a programmable ethernet based remote control

unit for all Ashly NE (network enabled) products, including NE

processors and NE power ampliﬁ ers. This remote brings control

features such as preset recall/scroll, mute, zone source selection,

individual channel and matrix point level control, and logic output

control throughout a building wherever there is a network con-

nection. All programming is done across the network using Ashly

Protea NE software.

Features

The neWR-5 is designed to mount into a standard North Amer-

ica electrical wall box. A decora cover plate (not included) can be

purchased at hardware stores to cover the neWR-5 electrical box and

satisfy the aesthetic needs of the installation.

Connecting and powering the neWR-5 is done using standard

Cat-5 ethernet cable and an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)

switch, hub, or inline PoE injector. If PoE is unavailable, a 15-

48VDC power supply capable of at least 2 watts per neWR-5 can be

hard wired to a euroblock connector on the back of the remote.

There is a hard-wired Lock-Out feature on the neWR-5, where

the closing of a switch wired to the lockout euroblock renders all

buttons inactive.

The neWR-5 has six programmable function buttons which can

light up green, red, or amber to display status. To the right of the

function buttons is a pocket in the mylar overlay for a paper function

label to be inserted. The two other buttons are used to adjust func-

tion parameters such as gain or preset number, and are indicated by

the LED display.

Hardware Installation

The neWR-5 Ethernet control connection is made using an RJ-45 terminated eight conductor

cable connected directly to a computer, or indirectly over a standard 10/100M Ethernet network.

Maximum cable distance for Ethernet is 100 meters from the nearest hub or switch for copper

Operating Manual - neWR-5 Remote Control for NE Products twisted pair CAT5 cable. If using PoE, no further power supply is required, otherwise connect a 15-48VDC power supply to the neWR-5 via the labelled euroblock connector. PoE current draw is 38mA @48VDC. If desired, wire the Lock Out connector to an external remote or keyed switch. Upon connecting and powering up the system, the WR-5 will have a “heartbeat”, meaning an internal small green LED on the PCB (behind the display bezel) will be flashing.

Operating Manual - neWR-5 Remote Control for NE Products Main Control Surface The main control surface is where the neWR-5 is named, its target NE device gets selected, any zone definition occurs, and where the function buttons are programmed, The neWR-5 comes with all function buttons set to “Off”. Unlike the WR-5, changes must be saved to the neWR-5 before becoming effective.

Any function button can have any combination of inputs as sources. A zone source selection button is green when selected, and red when unselected.
