The neWR-5 is a programmable Ethernet based remote control unit for Ashly NE Series and Pêma products. Connecting and powering the neWR-5 is done using standard Cat-5 Ethernet cable and an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or inline injector (purchased separately), or a 15-48VDC power supply can be hardwired directly to each unit. A hardwired Lock-Out feature on the neWR-5 will render all buttons inactive. The neWR-5 has six programmable function buttons with dual-color illumination, Up/Down buttons for volume control, preset selection, etc., and a two-character display. Each of the six buttons can be programmed to engage one of the following functions: Preset Recall, Preset Scroll, Gain Control, Channel Mute, and Zone Source Selection. Additional functions are available for some controlled products, such as: Logic Output activation, Matrix Mixer control, etc. The neWR-5 will simplify integration with self-configuring IP-based technology and the flexibility of network wiring.
