VOCIA WALL REMOTE 1 (WR-1)
The WR-1 is a networked wall remote for use in a Vocia® system. It is designed to control background audio in user-congured music
zones. The WR-1 utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. Once it is congured with Vocia® software interface, the WR-1 requires
nothing more than an Ethernet cable wired to a PoE-compliant network switch. The WR-1 allows the user to choose background music
input sources, paging inhibit and source mute from an attractive wall-mounted panel. A backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) facilitates naviga-
tion through the WR-1 menu. The WR-1’s esthetically pleasing design ts with most room decor.
FEATURES
• Wall mountable
• Power and data over a single Ethernet cable
• Backlit liquid crystal display (LCD)
• Software-congurable settings, including
volume, source selection, paging inhibit,
and mute source control
• Rotary switches for unit identication
• CE marked and RoHS compliant
• Covered by BIAMP Systems’ warranty

Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for conguration, DSP equalization, and programming of the WR-1. The information
supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help
File.Front Panel
Display
The WR-1 features a backlit display that provides the user with an easy-to-read interface to view the menu options and setup screen.
Please note: the display will ash during rmware updates. This behavior is normal.
Select Buttons
The two buttons below the Select label are used to choose different functions on the WR-1. The function of these buttons depends
on the image that is displayed on the screen.
Adjust Buttons
Below the Adjust label on the right side of the device are two buttons whose function depends on the image that is displayed on the screen.
Generally, the image will be the Volume Screen, so the Adjust + and - buttons will generally control the volume of the zone associated with
the WR-1. However, when the Page Inhibit Screen is displayed, for example, the buttons will turn this function on/off.
Display Views
The user can cycle through the screens listed below by pressing the select buttons:
Background Source Screen
This screen displays the current Source on the top line and the number of dened sources. A label associated with the currently selected
background source will be displayed below. If the user presses the adjust buttons while this screen is displayed, the currently displayed
audio source will be selected. If one or more local inputs are associated with the zone, they will be automatically added to the selection list.
Volume Screen
The Volume Screen is the default display screen, which the unit will revert to if a control has not been adjusted for a period of sixty seconds.
The LCD shows a number between 0 and 100 in the top right corner, and a bar graphic represents the volume setting. As volume increases,
the bar lengthens from left to right and the number increases. At maximum volume, the bar is at full length. At minimum volume, the bar is
replaced with the word Off.

WR-1 FRONT VIEW
Volume Mute Screen
This screen provides muting control for the current background source. The LCD shows Volume Mute at the top with On or Off displayed
in the lower center of the screen. When Volume Mute is on, the background source is muted and the current background volume setting
is stored. The volume setting will be restored when the mute is off.
Page Inhibit Screen
This screen will display Page Inhibit at the top with On or Off displayed in the lower center of the screen. If the user presses Adjust +, Page
Inhibit will be enabled (On). If the user presses Adjust -, Page Inhibit will be disabled (Off). When Page Inhibit is on, only Emergency Level
pages will reach the zone.
Device Unavailable Screen
The Device Unavailable Screen will become active if the WR-1 cannot connect to the Vocia system.
Device Information Screen
The Device Information Screen shows the Device ID, the system time, and the time and date of the last rmware update. To access the
Device Information Screen, press and hold three of the four front panel buttons.

WR-1 REAR VIEW
Device ID
The rotary ID switches are located on the rear of the WR-1 and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in hexadecimal format.
All WR-1 units must have a unique Device ID to function properly within a Vocia Paging World (i.e., it is not possible to have two WR-1 units
with the same Device ID of hex 07). To assign a Device ID of hex 07, turn the LSB switch to 7 and leave the MSB switch on 0. To create
an ID of hex B7, turn the LSB switch to 7 and turn the MSB switch to B. Device ID switches should be set using a 0.1 inch (2.5mm) to
0.12 inch (3.0mm) at blade screwdriver. More information on setting IDs and the hexadecimal numbering scheme used in Vocia can be
found in the Vocia Help File.
Please note: Changes made to the Device ID while connected to the network require a power cycle in order to take effect.
Network Connection
The WR-1 has one RJ45 connector that should be wired to shielded CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 cable cabling to interface the WR-1
to a Vocia system via a PoE-compliant network switch. The RJ45 connector provides two LEDs that indicate Ethernet link and network activity
(see table below).

WR-1 REAR VIEW
This connection carries control data and power over CobraNet. PoE-enabled network switches or PoE midspan adapters must be used to
power the WR-1. These must be 802.3af compliant and must be isolated with respect to ground. The maximum distance between any unit
and an Ethernet switch is 100 meters (328 feet) when using copper cabling. Additional Ethernet switches and/or ber-optic cable can be
used to further extend distances between units on a network.
If other network trafc shares an Ethernet switch with the Vocia network, a managed switch should be used with separate VLANs.
