Ashly neWR-5 Operating Manual
Operating Manual - neWR-5 Remote Control for NE Products
twisted pair CAT5 cable.  If using PoE, 
no further power supply is required, 
otherwise connect a 15-48VDC power 
supply to the neWR-5 via the labelled 
euroblock connector.  PoE current draw 
is 38mA @48VDC.
If desired, wire the Lock Out con-
nector to an external remote or keyed 
switch.
Upon connecting and powering 
up the system, the WR-5 will have a 
"heartbeat", meaning an internal small 
green LED on the PCB (behind the 
display bezel) will be flashing.  After 
power up, the LED displays "- -".  If 
there is a two-digit number showing in 
the display, that means the WR-5 has 
been previously programmed to control 
a zone and that number is the gain level 
for that zone.
Mount the neWR-5 to a wall box as shown (decora plate and wall box not included).  Note: Avoid static shock
disruptions to this or other connected devices by mounting the neWR-5 to an earth-grounded metal wall box, or by
earth-grounding a metal decora plate. This prevents static discharge from flowing through the data lines.
Protea NE Software
Ashly NE products installed on the network will be automatically detected and displayed in 
the active device menu tree on the left side of the Protea NE software startup screen.  The software 
scans for active NE devices every time it loads, but the user can manually scan at any time as well 
with <Scan For Devices> at the bottom of the network NE device listing.  All NE devices continu-
ously broadcast their availability to the software.  All currently connected and active NE products are 
highlighted in green, while NE products which have been formerly installed but are currently off-line 
or unavailable show up in red.  
Individual NE products can be dragged onto the project canvas to simulate physical installation 
groups, but editing each product can be done from either the menu tree or the project canvas.   Lines, 
rectangles, text, and image files can be added to create a custom virtual control screen along with NE 
products and individual control objects.  To see all available canvas tools, right click anywhere over 
open canvas.   Projects, including all device settings and canvas drawings, can be saved as a file.   
Checking <Design Mode> (right-click on canvas) allows placed objects to be moved around, 
while unchecking <Design Mode> locks objects in place.  Once an image has been placed on the 
canvas, it must be deleted by hand if that device is no longer available to the software.  Scanning for 
devices does not automatically remove images which may have been installed at one time but are 
now off line.  To clear the canvas of all devices and drawn elements click <File - New>.  Further
