Operating Manual - WR-5 Remote Control

4. Getting Started

The WR-5 comes with no configuration, therefore it must be programmed using Protea System

Software (version 6.4 or greater from the included CD or the Ashly web site). Follow these steps

before beginning:

1) Connect the PC to the 24.24M RS-232 Dataport on either front or back panel using a non-

video Dsub9 cable.

2) Connect the first WR-5 to the 24.24M euroblock data connector on the back panel.

3) Press IN the RS-232 data switch on the 24.24M back panel. This switch should be IN

whenever a WR-5 and a PC are connected, and should be OUT whenever either one is connected

alone.

At this point, assuming the PC, software, and 24.24M are turned on and properly wired, the

WR-5 should have a “heartbeat”, meaning an internal small green LED on the PCB will be flashing.

If so, proceed with the following steps:

4) In Protea System Software, select the 24.24M Matrix Processor in the Device Menu if it

isn’t already the current device.

5) Select the Software ID channel number (1-16) across the top of the screen that matches the

Device ID currently shown in the 24.24M window, or change the 24.24M Device ID to match the

desired 24.24M software data channel.

6) Enable Communications in the Communications menu. If an error message states “slave not

responding on Channel _” then verify that the Device ID and software channel are the same. If an

error message states “Data response not received”, verify the CommPort Assignment under the

communications menu. Also under the Communications menu, set baud rate to 9600bps.

7) Under the Options menu, select <Program WR-5 Remotes>, and the WR-5 Configuration

window will appear.

8) In the WR-5 Configuration window, click on <Scan for WR5 Remotes>. The complete list

of available remotes can be seen in the upper left corner pull down menu. This is the best time to

verify from the list of available remotes that the Device ID for each remote matches the 24.24M.

9) Individual remotes can be visually identified by first selecting an available remote from the

pull down menu, then clicking <Identify Remote>. The selected WR-5 will flash “Id” in its LED

display for 30 seconds.

10) In addition to the permanent, factory programmed remote ID number, the user can enter a

remote name for each WR-5 to help identify its function, for example “Under Balcony Fill”. Each

WR-5 permanently stores its own configuration data when <Save Changes to Remote> is clicked.

5. Programming the WR-5:

The following functions are available for each of six buttons on the WR-5:

1) Off - No function assigned and the button’s LED remains unlit

2) Preset Recall - A single 24.24M preset number (1-35) is assigned. When the button is

pressed, the recalled preset number and the letters “PC” are alternately flashed on the WR-5 for

1 2 3 4
