Newr-5 Networked Remote Programmable Button Control; And Fr-16 Networked Programmable Fader Control - Ashly ne8250 Operating Manual

Operating Manual - NE Multi Channel Power Amplifier
neWR-5 Networked Programmable Remote Control - The neWR-5 remote control is a networked version of the
WR-5, using Ethernet instead of the Data Port to communicate with the amplifier. Connecting and powering the neWR-5 is
done using Cat-5 Ethernet cable and a Class 1 IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, hub, or in-line PoE injector.
If PoE is unavailable, the Ashly RPS-18 (sold separately) is a 15-48VDC power supply capable of at least 2 watts per neWR-5
and can be hard wired to the back of the neWR-5. PoE current draw is 38mA @48VDC and 80mA@15VDC. 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.
The neWR-5 appears in the Protea
cific amplifier under control. The neWR-5 has six programmable function buttons which can light up green, red, or amber to
display status. Further information on LED status is found in the neWR-5 owner's manual. To the right of the function buttons
is a pocket in the mylar overlay for a printed function label to be inserted. The two other buttons are used to adjust function
parameters such as gain or preset number, and are indicated by the LED display. neWR-5 functions are limited to preset recall
and mute unless there is DSP installed in the amplifier. Note: To use the neWR-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).
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.
FR-8 and FR-16 Networked Fader Controller - The FR-8 (shown at
right) and FR-16 are Ethernet based remote fader control units, with the ability
to assign each fader control of one or more input or output DSP gain stages or
level control for a DSP matrix mixer point. The button LED for each fader is
normally used to indicate assignable signal level/clip or mute status, but can
alternately indicate A/B source selection for that fader. The FR remotes can
be wall mounted to electrical box, panel mounted, or freestanding, and have a
back panel contact closure for full front panel lockout. See further details in
the FR-8/16 owner's manual on the Ashly website.
