Rd-8C And Rw-8C Remote Control; Programmable Remote Control - Ashly NE 4200.25 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 am-
plifier. 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 soft-
ware.
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 pur-
chased 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 wired in se-
ries, and more can be added by using 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. Controlled functions include preset recall/scroll, and in
amplifiers with DSP installed, functions include mute, 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. presuming that amplifier has DSP installed. A windowed mylar pocket is available
to insert custom function button labels.
The Ashly RPS-18 remote power supply is required when more than four WR-5 remotes are connected to one amplifier.
