IMPORTANT REMARK

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
• The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
• WARNING ( If applicable): The terminals marked with symbol of “” may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
• WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
• WARNING: An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug the apparatus during lightening sorts or when unused for long periods of time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Disconnecting from mains: Switching off the POWER switch all the functions and light indicators of the amplifier will be stopped, but fully disconnecting the device from mains is done unplugging the power cord from the mains input socket. For this reason, it always shall remain readily operable.
15. Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of a power cord.
16. The marking information is located at the bottom of apparatus.
17. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus

INTRODUCTION

WPa is a series of wall-mounted remote-control panels for equipment, together with audio signal interconnection. It is a development of its predecessor, the WPm series, with an up-to-date aesthetics, elegant and discrete and designed in collaboration with Italdesign Giugiaro. Surface-mounted installation box is included in the full WPa series.

VOLUME CONTROLS / SOURCE SELECTION

WPaVOL / UBWPaVOL

WPaVOL / UBWPaVOL is a wall-mounted remote control for volume management. It is compatible with all devices with 0-10VDC ports. For information of its connection, check the Connection tables and diagrams chapter.

WPaVOL-J

WPaVOL-J has the same specifications as the WPaVOL, plus a stereo 1/8” jack on the front panel. For information of its connection, check the Connection tables and diagrams chapter

WPaVOL-SR

WPaVOL-SR is a wall-mounted remote control for volume management and source /pre-adjust selection. It is compatible with all devices with 0-10VDC ports. For information of its connection, check the Connection tables and diagrams chapter.

WPaVOL-SR-J

WPaVOL-SR-J has the same specifications as the WPaVOL-SR, plus a stereo mini- jack on the front panel. For information of its connection, check the Connection tables and diagrams chapter.

REMOTE ATTENUATORS

WPaH-AT6

The WPaH-AT6 is a 70/100 V line attenuator, with an integrated 24 VDC priority relay. Maximum output power: 6 W

WPaH-AT40

WPaH-AT40 is a 70 / 100V line attenuator with an integrated 24VDC priority relay. Maximum power output: 40W.

Note: This panel, unlike the rest, has a depth of 50mm

WPaH-AT100

The WPaH-AT100 is a 70/100V line attenuator, with an integrated 24 VDC priority relay. Maximum output power: 100 W

WPaH-SL4

The WPaH-SL4 is a 70/100V line selector (it selects one of the four music programmes

WPaMIX-T

• The WPaMIX-T is a two-channel micro-mixer with the standard WPa series wall panel format. It allows an unbalanced stereo signal (RCA) to be mixed with a microphone signal (XLR) to produce a balanced mono signal output.
• The microphone input includes a two-band equaliser (Bass/Treble) and can operate with priority on the line signal when the microphone exceeds the preset detection threshold

Function diagram

1. Volume control at the microphone input
2. Bass (100 Hz) and treble (10kHz) tone controls at the microphone input (10 dB).
3. Volume control at the line input
4. XLR connector at the microphone input (balanced signal)
5. Sensitivity: -20 to -40 dBV
6. RCA line input connectors (unbalanced signal)
7. Sensitivity: -10 dBV.

The Line and Microphone signals are mixed with relative levels depending on their respective VOL volume controls. This mixing is available at the Euroblock connector output terminals of the unit (unbalanced signal, line level is 0 dBV). Furthermore, the microphone signal may use the Talkover function in order to automatically attenuate the line signal when the microphone signal reaches the Talkover detection threshold (see 06.2 for details of Talkover activation)

Configuration diagram

1. MIC sensitivity selection -20 dBV (jumper removed) or -40 dBV (jumper installed – default position)
2. Talkover function (*): ON (jumper installed – default position) / OFF (jumper removed).
3. Phantom power supply for the MICRO input: ON (jumper installed) / OFF (jumper removed- default position).

In order to access the configuration jumpers, the circuit must be removed from the rear of the unit by simply pulling on it to unplug it from its connectors and then reinsert it after making the required changes. This operation must be performed with the unit power supply switched off.

• (*) Talkover attenuation over the line input: 30 dB
• Talkover maintenance time three seconds

5. Power supply input: +24VDC terminal + (**)
6. Power supply input: +15VDC terminal + (**)

(**) The WPaMIX-T requires an external 24VDC power supply (connected to terminals 4 and 5, min 30mA) or 15VDC (connected to terminals 4 and 6, min 30mA). We suggest using the Ecler WP24-PSU, which can power up to twenty WPaMIX-T units (depending on voltage losses caused by cable lengths and sections).
Recommendation: Since the WPaMIX-T does not incorporate any electromagnetic shielding, we strongly recommend that it is installed well away from power sources and high-voltage cables.
For the installation of an eMCONTROL1 unit next to a WPaMIX-T wall panel, on surface or flush mounting, see the eMCONTROL1 user manual.
