10.4 FR-8 and FR-16 Networked Fader Controller

The FR-8 (shown) and FR-16 (not shown) are eight and

16 channel programmable fader remote control devices which

connect to an NE processor over an Ethernet network. Each

fader can be assigned in Protea

one or more channels. A pushbutton LED switch associated

with each fader shows signal level/clip for audio signals

controlled by that fader and can be assigned mute function or

A/B source select for that fader. The FR-8 and FR-16 devices

can mount to a wall box, panel cutout, or remain freestanding.

Power is from an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet

(PoE) switch, hub, or in-line PoE injector. A back panel

lockout connection is available to disable all controls using a

key switch.

The FR-8 or FR-16 appears in the Protea

window to a specific NE processor under control. Labels can be inserted behind the mylar overlay to properly identify

custom programmed fader and button functions.

10.5 neWR-5 Networked Programmable Controller

The neWR-5 remote control is a networked version

of the WR-5, using Ethernet instead of the Data Port to

communicate with the NE processor. Connecting and

powering the neWR-5 is done using Cat-5 Ethernet cable and

an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, hub, or

in-line PoE injector. If PoE is unavailable, the Ashly RPS-18

(sold separately) is a 15-48VDC power supply capable of at

least 2 watts per neWR-5 and can be hard wired to the back

of the neWR-5. PoE current draw is 38mA @48VDC and

80mA@15VDC. 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.

The neWR-5 appears in the Protea

menu tree and must be assigned within its neWR-5 device

window to a specific NE processor under control. The neWR-

5 has six programmable function buttons which can light up

green, red, or amber to display status. Further information on

LED status is found in the neWR-5 owner's manual. To the

right of the function buttons is a pocket in the mylar overlay

for a printed function label to be inserted. The two other

buttons are used to adjust function parameters such as gain or

preset number, and are indicated by the LED display.

There is also 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.
