10.4 WR-5 Programmable Zone Controller
The WR-5 is a microprocessor based programmable remote control unit. Using Protea NE software, six function
select buttons and two parameter adjust buttons are used to control a limited range of assigned functions within the WR-5's
host ne24.24M. Up to four WR-5 units can be daisy-chained and phantom powered from one ne24.24M, and even more can be
added using an in-line power supply adapter such as the Ashly RPS-18. Note: If a WR-5 is used, no other serial communica-
tions devices, including the Ashly RD-8C, may be used with the ne24.24M.
The WR-5 is designed to t into a standard electrical wall box. Electrical connections to the ne24.24M are made using
a four conductor low gauge wire terminated with euroblock connectors. 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, even if there is only one WR-5.
Note: The WR-5E is the functional equivalent to the WR-5, designed to t into European electrical boxes. A standard decora
plate (not included) can be purchased at most hardware stores to cover the WR-5 electrical box and satisfy the aesthetic needs
of the installation.
Each of six buttons on the WR-5 can be programmed through Protea NE Software to engage one of the following
functions (if available): preset recall, preset scroll, gain control, channel engage/mute, zone source selection, logic output active
high, logic output active low, and matrix mixer, with a green LED next to each button to display active status. To the right of
each button is a pocket in the mylar overlay for a paper function label to be inserted. The two other buttons are used to adjust
function parameters, indicated by the LED display. Further installation details are available in the User Reference provided
with each WR-5.
