Operating Manual - Pema Protea Equipped Media Amplifier
4.1e RD-8C or RW-8C Programmable Fader Controller
RD-8C (RW-8C) are fader controllers which are connected to the Pema ampli-
fier's Data port and phantom powered from the amplifier. 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 standard
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.
4.1f INA-1 Inline RS-232 Adapter
fier Data Port uses a proprietary serial communications protocol which can be
converted to RS-232 using the Ashly INA-1 RS-232 adapter. This allows the use
of custom designed third party RS-232 controllers.
4.1g neWR-5 Networked Program-
mable Button Controller
networked version of the WR-5, using Ethernet
to communicate with the amplifier. The neWR-
5 is powered using an IEEE 802.3af Class 1
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
must be assigned, within its neWR-5 device window, to a specific Pema
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.
There is also 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.
4.1h FR-8/FR-16 Programmable Fader Controller
FR-8 and FR-16 are Ethernet based programmable fader controllers for networked
Ashly products that have Protea DSP. Using Protea
buttons can be programmed for individual or group channel level control, matrix
point level control, signal level display, mute, and A/B source selection. The FR
remotes can be wall mounted in an electrical box, panel mounted, or freestanding,
and have a back panel contact closure for a user lockout switch.
