Operating Manual - WR-5 Remote Control
1. Introduction:
The WR-5 is a microprocessor based remote control unit for the Protea 24.24M, Ashly's multi-
channel DSP matrix processor. The WR-5 is designed to fit into a standard electrical wall box for
remote control of assignable 24.24M functions. Each of six buttons on the WR-5 can be pro-
grammed to engage one of the following functions: preset recall/scroll, channel volume, mute, or
zone source selection. Programming of each button is done from software, when the WR-5 is con-
nected to its host 24.24M, and the 24.24M is in turn connected to a PC using Protea System Software
(version 6.4 or greater). Multiple WR-5 units can be daisy-chained from the same 24.24M for
discrete control over multiple locations under the processing control of one 24.24M.
Installations which currently use WR-3 or WR-4 units can integrate a WR-5, but special wiring
requirements apply (see section 3). For new installations, Ashly recommends exclusive use of the
WR-5.
2. WR-5 Features:
The WR-5 can be thought of
primarily as a programmable zone
controller. The physical acoustic space
in which one WR-5 is installed is gener-
ally considered one zone, driven by a
24.24M output or group of outputs.
The WR-5 has six programmable
buttons, each with its own status LED.
Button programming is done in Protea
System Software (V6.4 or higher).
There is a pocket in the mylar overlay to
the right of each button for a paper label
to be inserted. The two up/down buttons
adjust overall zone volume level (if
programmed) or individual button
parameters. The numeric LED displays
zone volume level, button/function
values, or status/diagnostic indicators.
On the back of the WR-5 unit, two four pin euroblock connectors are used for data INPUT from
a 24.24M, or LINK for connecting to another WR-5. There is also a two pin jumper labelled "J6"
which requires the provided female jumper to be installed if the WR-5 is the last one in the data
chain.
3. Wiring and Mounting a WR-5:
All wire connections between a WR-5 and the 24.24M use a two-piece euroblock connectors, a
screw-terminal plug for the wire connections, and the mating jack on the product itself.

On the last WR-5 in the chain, even if there is only one WR-5, install the female jumper on J6 on the back of the pcb to terminate the serial data bus, and make sure all prior WR-5 units have that jumper removed.
