Ashly neWR-5 Remote Control User Reference
Introduction
The neWR-5 is a programmable ethernet based remote control
unit for all Ashly NE (network enabled) products, including NE pro-
cessors, NE power amplifiers, Pema amplifiers, and nX networked
amplifiers. This remote brings control features such as preset recall/
scroll, mute, zone source selection, individual channel and matrix
point level control, and logic output control throughout a building
wherever there is a network connection. All programming is done
across the network using Ashly Protea
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules for class A operation, and is subject to the
following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Features
The neWR-5 is designed to mount into a standard earth ground-
ed North America electrical wall box. 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.
Connecting and powering the neWR-5 requires Cat-5 ethernet
cable and a IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, hub, or
inline PoE injector. If PoE is unavailable, a 15-48VDC power sup-
ply capable of at least 2 watts per neWR-5 can be hard wired to a eu-
roblock connector on the back of the remote. The RJ-45 connector
has a green LED to indicate an Ethernet connection has been made,
and a yellow LED to indicate data is being transferred. 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.
The neWR-5 has six programmable function buttons which can
light up green, red, or amber to display status. To the right of the func-
tion buttons is a pocket in the mylar overlay for a paper function label to
be inserted. The two other buttons are used to adjust function parame-
ters such as gain or preset number, and are indicated by the LED display.
Hardware Installation
The neWR-5 Ethernet control connection is made using an RJ-45 terminated eight conductor
cable connected directly to a computer, or indirectly over a standard 10/100M Ethernet network.
Maximum cable distance for Ethernet is 100 meters from the nearest hub or switch for copper

Page 2: Protea Ne Software
This prevents incidental static discharge from flowing through the neWR-5 or it’s Ethernet cable, potentially disrupting the neWR-5. Do not rely on the Ethernet cable ground for earth ground. Protea NE Software Ashly NE products installed on the network will be automatically detected and displayed in ... - Page 3 Operating Manual - neWR-5 Remote Control for NE Products Main Control Surface The main control surface is where the neWR-5 is named, its target NE device gets selected, any zone definition occurs, and where the function buttons are programmed, The neWR-5 comes with all function buttons set to “Off”. Unlike the WR-5, changes must be saved to the neWR-5 before becoming effective. Not all of the button functions listed below are available on all NE products, for instance an amplifier will not have “matrix mixer” capability unless it has DSP installed, and some products do not have logic outputs. Protea NE software is able to determine which functions are available for neWR-5 control. 1) Off - No function assigned and the button’s LED remains unlit 2) Preset Recall - A single preset number is assigned to a button. When the button is pressed, the recalled preset number and the letters “PC” (Preset Change) are alternately flashed on the WR-5 for five seconds, also locking out any other WR-5 action for that time. 3) Preset Scroll Mode - A range of presets can be assigned to a function button which when selected, enables the up/down buttons to scroll through the available presets. Upon release of the up/ down button, the currently displayed preset will load. The function button will glow amber for the duration of the preset scroll operation.
- Page 4 Operating Manual - neWR-5 Remote Control for NE Products 6) Zone Source Selection - This function is used to assign a button to select one or more inputs for the defined zone (Select Zone Outputs) under neWR-5 control. Any function button can have any combination of inputs as sources. A zone source selection button is green when selected, and red when unselected. When multiple zone source select buttons are assigned different or over- lapping inputs, each button will simply add to or subtract from the other’s input selections. How- ever, if the Exclusive Source Selection box is checked in the zone setup, only the currently selected button’s inputs will be used for that zone. The <Disable Zone Level Control> checkbox allows input source selections to be changed from the neWR-5, but not the overall output gain for that zone. The output gain can still be adjusted from the target device software, but the neWR-5 user is locked out from making output zone gain changes. 7) Logic Output Active High - This allows the user to toggle the Logic Output assigned pin to the button. The switch turns green when the output is high. 8) Logic Output Active Low- The switch turns green when the output is Low. 9) Matrix Mixer - This is used to select one or more inputs for the zone under neWR-5 con- trol, but allows level control of that group at the dsp matrix mixer point instead of the output. Select one or more Zone Output(s) in the Zone Setup to use the Matrix Mixer function Security In addition to the hardware lockout available on the neWR-5, there are multiple user/multiple levels of software protection assignable to the neWR-5 within the Security tab, from full access to view only. The security data is stored within the neWR-5 itself, not Protea NE Software. Passwords are case sensitive. Be sure to write down the password and store in a convenient place for future ...
