Rd-8C And Rw-8C Remote Fader Control; Remote Programmable Button Control - Ashly ne8250 Operating Manual

Operating Manual - NE Multi Channel Power Amplifier
RD-8C or RW-8C Remote Control - The RD-8C and
RW-8C are remote level controllers which are connected to the
amplifier's Data Port, and are phantom powered from the ampli-
fier. They can only be used in NE amplifiers which have DSP
installed, and are used in conjunction with the "Remote Gain"
pluggable DSP tool placed in an input or output in software.
Maximum cable length is 1000 ft using #24 gauge twisted
pair. The RD-8C is a desktop controller, while the RW-8C is
electronically the same but mounts as a wall plate using a stan-
dard North American 4-gang electrical box and connects using
a Euroblock.. 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 amplifier, 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
WR-5 Programmable Remote Con-
trol - The WR-5 is a programmable button
remote control which mounts into a standard
North America electrical wall box and con-
nects to an amplifier data port using four
conductor wire. Maximum cable length
is 1000 ft using #24 gauge twisted pair. A
decora cover plate (not included) can be
purchased at hardware stores to cover the
WR-5 electrical box and satisfy the aesthetic
needs of the installation. The WR-5 is phan-
tom powered from the amplifier. Up to four
different WR-5 remotes can be phantom
powered from one amplifer, and more can
be added by purchasing an Ashly RPS-18
remote power supply.
WR-5 buttons are programmed from Protea
number in its WR-5 device window. Each button has a status LED. Standard control functions include preset recall/scroll and
mute, and in amplifiers with DSP installed the functions also include gain control, zone source selection, individual channel and
matrix point level control. Note: To use the WR-5 as a remote level control, a (ne)WR-5 Remote Gain tool must be placed in
one of the DSP processing blocks of the channels(s) to be controlled. A windowed mylar pocket is available to insert custom
function button labels.
INA-1 Inline RS-232 Adapter - The amplifier Data Port uses a proprietary serial communications protocol which can
be converted to RS-232 by purchasing the Ashly INA-1 RS-232 adapter. This allows the use of custom designed third party
RS-232 controllers.
