SECTION XX.X
Connecting More Than Four WR-3 and WR-4 Remote Controllers:
A 24.24M Matrix Processor’s phantom power supply can only power up to four remote
controller units (WR-3 or WR-4) at a time. It is possible to connect more wall remotes if an
external power supply is used with the additional units. It should be noted, however, that
only four WR-3’s can be connected to a 24.24M Matrix Processor at any given time, due to
the WR-3’s method of communication with the device. There is no set limit for the WR4 wall
remotes, its limitation is set by the amount of time it will take data to be transferred though
the system.
The external power supply should supply anywhere from +15VDC to +20VDC and supply at
least 28mA of current for each remote controller connected. To connect an external power
supply to phantom power several remote controls, follow the procedure below.
1. Connect the 24.24M Data Out connection to the Data In of the first remote control as
normal but do NOT connect the terminal labeled “+18” on the 24.24M.
2. Connect the external power supply negative terminal (-) to the 24.24M terminal
labeled “-/G” which is also connected to the first remote control.
3. Connect the external power supply positive terminal (+) to the first remote controller
Data Input terminal labeled “+18”.
4. Connect the Data Output of the first remote controller to the Data Input of the
second remote controller. Continue this Data Output to Data Input ‘daisy chain’ for
all remote controllers and connect the last remote control’s Data Output to the
24.24M’s Data Input.
Notes:
1. The WR-4 will not function if a PC is connected.
2. Depending on the number of WR-X’s in a system there may be a small delay
between when a source is selected at the remote and when the change reaches the
24.24M
3. On power-up it will take (1/2sec * number of remotes) for all remotes to receive the
current state of the 24.24M.
4. It may take several minutes after a preset recall for all new channel information to
filter down to each remote.
