 Single European electrical box format, compatible with flush and surface

installation (surface box supplied as standard)

 Power over Ethernet (PoE) or optional external power supply, WP-PSU model  Ethernet communication interface, RJ45 connector  128x128 pixels LCD display  Digital rotary control (encoder) + 4 programmable keys: 4KV and EX models  8 programmable keys: model 8K  MIMO4040DN matrix remote control functions: audio source selection, preset

selection, volume / MUTE adjustment, equalization settings, etc. (depending on models, refer to this manual and the EclerNet Manager application manual)

5. INSTALLATION

The installation of the WPNET4KV, WPNET8K or WPNETEX units comprises the following steps.

5.1. Installation of a single WPNET4KV, WPNET8K or WPNETEX unit, on surface or flush:

1. Remove the trim frame and front panel cover, held in place by magnets. You

can use the magnet provided as a tool, by making contact in the upper right corner of the cover and gently pulling on it.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the CAT5 or higher cable that will connect

the unit to the local installation network. If necessary - see note below connect external power.

3. Screw the device to the surface box or flush box.

4. Replace the frame and front panel and secure the rotary encoder knob.

Note: It is possible to use an adjacent pair of panels, consisting of a 4KV unit and an 8K

unit, becoming a new single panel of greater dimensions and number of available controls for programming purposes and remote control possibilities, model

WPNET12KV. A double WPa2FMBOX box is required to flush both devices together, or

a double WPa2SMBOX box for surface mounting. Both, the WPa2FMBOX and WPa2SMBOX are sold separately.

5.2. Installation of a pair of adjacent WPNET4KV and WPNET8K panels, on surface or flush:

1. Remove frames and front panel covers from both devices (WPNET4KV and

WPNET8K), held in place by magnets. You can use the magnet provided as a tool, by making contact in the upper right corner of the cover and gently pulling on it.

2. Interconnect with the two hoses (supplied as standard with the 8K unit) the

following point to point connectors between the two devices:

o J102 (3-wire hose) o J107 (2-wire hose)

3. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the CAT5 cable or higher that will connect the

unit to the local network of the installation to the WPNET4KV unit, which will act as the master unit of the two panels. Do not connect another CAT5 cable to the WPNET8K unit. If necessary - see note below - connect external power supply.

4. Screw the devices to the double surface box or flush box.

5. Mount the WPa2SMBOX or WPa2FMBOX double frame.

6. Replace the front panels and secure the knob of the rotary encoder..

6. UNIT MANAGEMENT in standard or individual mode (*)

6.1 Unit WPNET4KV management

(*) Note: This section deals with the operation of a WPNET4KV unit in standard or

individual mode, being able to take control of a zone of the installation. It is also possible

to use it in “MULTI” mode, being able to take control of more than one zone. Please,

refer to the section Unit WPNET4KV or 12KV operation in MULTI MODE for more information.

WPNET4KV has the following possible remote control functions on a MIMO4040DN unit, programmed from the EclerNet Manager application:

 Selecting sources or presets from a preset list in the EclerNet project  Adjusting the volume of a preset signal in the EclerNet project  MUTE ON/OFF of the same previous signal, preset in the EclerNet project

Front panel controls / on-screen information

In the previous image on the front panel, the available physical controls are:

 K1 to K4: keys directly associated with adjacent functions displayed on the screen  K5: digital rotary control, or encoder, with rotary and pulsation functions

And the information fields shown on the screen are:

 S1 to S4: text fields 1 to 4  S5: Adjusted volume indicator (signal level)  S6: textual value of the adjusted volume (signal level)

Once the unit is connected to the network, powered (via PoE or optional external power supply) and correctly configured from the EclerNet Manager application, the main screen will display an image similar to the following:

Main screen, example

Text fields S1 to S3 show the first three options that can be selected using keys K1 to K3. Field S4 shows the text "NEXT", inviting you to press the K4 key to display more options suitable for selection. The total number of selectable options is defined by managing carousels of audio inputs (sound sources) or presets for each control panel, using the EclerNet Manager application.

If there are 4 or fewer selectable options, the screen will show them directly in fields S1 to S4, without adding the "NEXT" function as an option associated with the K4 key.

In the example above, which uses a carousel of audio sources as selectable options, we see the following information:

 S1, option 1 (currently selected = shown in negative): MIMO4040DN audio input

labeled DUO-NET. Selectable (=actionable) by pressing the key K1

 S2, option 2: MIMO4040DN audio input labeled FM TUNER. Selectable by

pressing the K2 key

 S3, option 3: MIMO4040DN audio input labeled ePLAYER1. Selectable by

pressing the K3 key

 S4, option 4: Move to the next screen of valid options by pressing the K4 key.  S5, Vu-meter showing the currently set volume of the audio signal the remote

panel is pointing at (this signal can be an output, an input, a matrix crossover point, or sending the currently selected source to the destination output).

 S6, value of the currently set volume of the audio signal to which the remote panel

is pointing, or the "MUTE" symbol if the audio signal is muted.

The following picture shows the selected FM TUNER input, and another volume

adjustment value in the Vu-meter, in this case the sending value of this input (sound source) to the destination output (83).

When acting on the K5 rotary control, aiming at modifying the volume to which it points, a different screen is temporarily shown, returning a few seconds to the previous or main screen. Example:

 S1: Name (label) assigned to the control panel, defined from the EclerNet Manager

application. In the example "CTRL ZONE1".

 S2: option of the currently selected carousel. In the "DUO-NET" example  S5, S6: volume value being adjusted by rotary control, displayed in real time, and

matching the same numerical value displayed in larger characters in the lower middle section of the display (68 in the example above).

Pressing the rotary control activates the MUTE function, if enabled for triggering from the WPNET4KV unit:

If the volume control function is not enabled for the WPNET4KV unit, turning or pressing the rotary control will temporarily display such a screen, with the central flashing “- -“ symbols:

The long press (> 5 seconds) on the rotary control displays the configuration parameters of the unit: name, model, firmware version and Ethernet network connection parameters:
