COMMERCIAL PROCESSOR

VR1 LEVEL REMOTE

Rane provides the 

VR1

 Volume Remote for applications that re-

quire a remote level control without the program selector found 

in the ZR1. It contains the same 2k RD taper pot, and connects 

as shown in the ZR1 schematic.

With the front panel REMOTE switch, all selection and lev-

el is done either on the front panel or at the remote; never both 

locations. Connecting just a VR1 to the CP52S remote control 

terminals will allow level adjustment. However without a source 

selector, the unit will default to source one. If the PRIORITY 

/ L4 INPUT automatic switching is enabled, then the unit will 

select the L4 signal when present and L1 at any other time. Thus 

if only a jukebox (P/L4) and other line source (L1) are used, the 

remote volume control will work just fine. 

REMOTE MOUNTING

The ZR1 or VR1 remote assembly mounts in a standard U.S. 

electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.25". Be sure to note 

the wire color of each input in order to facilitate correct wir-

ing to the CP52S. Connect each wire to the connector by fully 

inserting it in the correct socket and tightening the screw. Make 

sure the cable jacket is stripped back sufficiently to allow it to lie 

in the electrical box with the remote assembly inserted. Use the 

flat head #6 screws supplied with the kit to mount the remote

assembly and silk-screened front panel to the electrical box (see 

diagram, next page). Note the “UP” arrow screened on the 

printed circuit board of the remote (mount it pointing 

up

).

Install each knob so that the line on the knob is properly 

aligned with the silk-screening on the front panel of the remote 

assembly. Install any Decora plate of your choice. For a secured 

installation, you may wish to leave the knobs off and use a blank 

Decora plate to cover the remote after adjustment.

WIRE TYPES

Though variations in wire type do not greatly affect the perfor-

mance of the remote controls, 22-gauge stranded wire with a 

flexible jacket is recommended. You may use 5-conductor un-

shielded remote control signal cable for short runs (less than 200 

feet [60 meters]) or 4-conductor (2 pair) shielded remote control 

signal cable (use the shield as the ground return) for long runs 

(200 to 1000 feet [60 to 300 meters]). The type of wire required 

is influenced by your installation and local electrical codes.
