ECLER WPaVOL-J

Product overview

The ECLER WPaVOL-J is a remote wall panel control for one volume management, with a stereo mini-jack connector on the front panel. It works with every ECLER device that has a 0-10 V DC REMOTE control port, such as the NXA series, GPA series, MIMO88, MPA-R, ALMA and CA series, and connects over one RJ45 cable. The WPa series has a modern, elegant and discreet design, and a surface-mount installation box is included.

WPa is ECLER's series of remote control wall panels for systems and for interconnecting audio signals, with a modern, elegant and discreet design in white (RAL 9016). Every panel of the series comes with a surface-mount installation box, and a magnetic frame holds the front plate in place.

Key features

• LEVEL knob for remote volume control (0-10 V DC)
• Stereo mini-jack (AUX) on the front panel
• RJ45 connection for control voltage and power
• Internal jumpers: ALOG (analogue) / LIN (digital), +10 / +12 V
• Surface-mount installation box included

Works with ECLER REMOTE ports

The WPaVOL-J sends a 0-10 V DC control voltage over a standard RJ45 cable: pin 2 carries the remote volume (10 V = minimum, 0 V = maximum) and pin 6 the +10 V / +12 V supply from the controlled device. It is compatible with ECLER devices that have a 0-10 V DC REMOTE port, such as the NXA series, GPA series, MIMO88, MPA-R, ALMA and CA series.

Front mini-jack input

A stereo mini-jack (AUX) on the front plate lets users plug in a phone, tablet or laptop; its terminal block (sleeve, ring, tip) is wired to a line input of the system.

Analogue or digital control ports

Internal jumpers set the panel for analogue REMOTE ports (ALOG, +10 V: factory default) or for digital inputs such as MIMO88 GPI ports (LIN, +12 V).

In the box

• 1 x WPaVOL-J wall panel
• 1 x surface-mount installation box

Workflow 1: Zone volume in a shop

Retail spaces that want staff to set the music level at the wall.

Connections

Setup

1. Run a network cable from the panel to the REMOTE port.
2. Wire pin 2 (remote volume), pin 6 (VCC) and a GND pin as in the connection diagram.
3. Turn LEVEL and check the zone volume follows.

Tip: Turning LEVEL fully clockwise gives maximum volume (0 V on pin 2).

Workflow 2: Meeting room level control

Corporate rooms with their own speaker zone.

Connections

Setup

1. Mount the panel by the door.
2. Connect it to the REMOTE port of the zone.
3. Set the maximum level on the amplifier, then hand control to the panel.

Tip: One panel controls one volume.

Workflow 3: Restaurant and bar music

Leisure venues where the level changes through the day.

Connections

Setup

1. Install the panel where staff can reach it.
2. Connect the RJ45 cable.
3. Adjust LEVEL during service.

Tip: The discreet white panel suits most interiors.

Workflow 4: Digital (GPI) control ports

Systems controlled from MIMO88 GPI ports.

Connections

Setup

1. Open the panel and set the jumpers to LIN and +12 V.
2. Wire RJ45 pin 6 to +, pin 2 to the control input and a GND pin to ground.
3. Assign the GPI to the volume in the matrix set-up.

Tip: Factory default is ALOG and +10 V, for analogue REMOTE ports.

Workflow 5: Guest music input

Rooms where users plug in a phone or laptop.

Connections

Setup

1. Wire the mini-jack terminal block (sleeve, ring, tip) to a stereo line input.
2. Plug in the player.
3. Set the level with LEVEL.

Tip: The mini-jack gives a local source next to the volume control.

Workflow 6: Mounting the panel

Installers fitting the panel to a wall.

Connections

Setup

1. Fix the surface-mount box (or an in-wall box) where the panel is needed.
2. Wire the cable to the screw terminals of module B; no soldering is needed.
3. Screw module B into the box, then fit the magnetic frame C.
4. Press the front plate A into place with care: the frame magnets exert considerable force.

Tip: The surface-mount box is included.
