The Essentia amplifier accepts up to six audio sources. A source consists of any audio component capable of supplying a line level signal. This multi-pin connection is used to transfer the audio information from the Essentia main amplifier to the expander amplifier. This output is used to expand the system to twelve zones. The source link connection cable is provided with the Essentia D Expander package. The variable lineout is intended for zones where additional amplification is needed and the Essentia keypad is used to control the volume of all the speakers in that zone. The fixed lineout is intended for zones where additional amplification and separate volume control are needed. Individual stereo speaker outputs for each zone provide 20 watts output per channel. These outputs provide a 12-volt output when the corresponding zone is turned on. This is used to trigger external equipment specific to a given zone. These outputs transfer IR (infrared) signals, repeated from a zone keypad, from the Essentia amplifier to the audio source equipment. There are six source specific outputs and two “sum” output that sends IR signals regardless of the selected source. This output provides a constant 12-volt output when any zone is turned on. This is used to trigger external devices. This is designed to mute any audio playing through the system when the phone or doorbell rings. This RJ-45 connection is the input for all zone information coming from the Essentia keypads. The connection is made using the Network Cable supplied with the package. This multi-pin connection transfers all the digital information from the main amplifier to the expander amplifier. This output is used to expand the system from six to twelve zones. The Digital Link connection cable is provided with the Essentia D Expander package. The RS232 serial port allows two-way communication for control by a home automation system. A detachable power cable supplies power to the Essentia System from any AC outlet.

Installing the Essentia System in Your Home
I. Prewire
The Essentia System uses CAT5 cable for keypad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the wire is “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Essentia amplifier and Audio Source equipment.
Complete CAT5 Crimping Instructions
The NuVo audio systems require CAT5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP), for communication between the keypads/Display Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
The Essentia System can accommodate 2,000 total feet of CAT5 cable. For the most reliable operation, it is best that no single run of CAT5 exceeds 250 feet.
The correct wiring scheme for the CAT5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the CAT5 cable is crucial for the operation of the system. It is very important to use a good quality crimp tool, and test each end to end run with a CAT5 wire tester to insure that your system operates flawlessly, fig.1.
Step-by-Step Crimping Instructions:
1. Strip a 2 to 3 inch portion of the insulation, exposing the 4 twisted pairs.
2. Untwist the wires and fan them out individually. Arrange the wires into the correct color scheme as shown in Fig. 1.
3. Flatten the wires in their correct order, and trim them evenly across the top. Most crimp tools have a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires to about ½” in length.
4. While holding the wires flat between your thumb and forefinger, insert the wires into the RJ45 connector, so each is in its own slot. Push the wire into the RJ45, so all 8 conductors touch the end of the connector. The insulation jacket should extend beyond the crimp point of the RJ45.
5. Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle and squeeze the tool firmly. Note that a ratchet type tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.
6. The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the CAT5 insulation. It is necessary that the color scheme be repeated identically on each end of the wire.

II. Installing the Essentia Amplifier
System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the same location as the audio source equipment. This is typically in an audio rack, entertainment center or a closet dedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment.
The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button on the front panel should be depressed before proceeding with the rest of the installation.
the Essentia System.
This activates the internal protective circuitry of
II. Terminating Speaker Wire
The speaker wire for each zone is terminated in a standard Euro­style connector that plugs into each zone specific amplified output. The common speaker termination scheme is Left - Left +, Right - Right +. Either two or four-conductor 16-guage wire is recommended. Larger than 14-guage wire will not fit into the euro connector.
To terminate the speaker wire, strip back the outer jacket and expose the inner conductors. Strip approximately 1/4” (4 mm) of the insulation from the inner conductors exposing the copper wire. Place the exposed wire in the euro connector and tighten the screw down terminals, fig. 2.
Once you have plugged the Cat-5 wires into the EZ Port, screw the EZ Port into its construction bracket using the supplied mounting screws.
Fig. 2

Be careful not to allow the exposed wire from each conductor to touch the adjacent conductor. This will short the speaker input. Each speaker output is designed for two 8-Ohm speakers. Overloading the amplifier could cause it to overheat and do damage to the output.
III. Installing the NV-E6DEZP EZ Port
The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the CAT5 wires from the keypads in the system. The location of the EZ Port should be determined by the location of the Essentia amplifier. It is best to place in the wall behind the amplifier that would be easily accessible if necessary.
The EZ Port fits easily in any dual-gang size construction bracket with an open back. These are often referred to as “mud rings”. Simply plug the terminated CAT5 wires into any of the sixteen available jacks on the back of the EZ Port, Fig. 3. The order in which the individual CAT5 wires are plugged is in not important, although it is strongly recommended that you label the CAT5 with the appropriate zone number for future reference.
Fig. 3

Page 10
IV. Connecting the EZ Port to the Essentia amplifier
When the EZ Port is installed in the wall the only part visible should be the faceplate and a single RJ45 jack. The supplied pre­terminated network cable can then be plugged into the jack on the EZ Port and into the network connection on the back of the Essentia amplifier, Fig. 4. Any CAT5 cable terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice should you need a longer connection.
V. Attaching Audio Source Equipment to the Essentia Amplifier
Each piece of audio source equipment is connected to the Essentia amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables. Attach the RCA cable to the corresponding audio output on the source equipment and to the desired source input on the back of the Essentia amplifier, Fig. 5.

VI. Connecting the IR Emitters
IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from the Essentia amplifier to the source equipment via mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied with your Essentia System. The emitter is plugged into the corresponding source IR output on the Essentia and then placed over the IR receiver window on the source component, fig. 6. The IR outputs are individually routed to sources 1-6 allowing IR commands from the chosen source to only control that source.
The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that is sent from any of the zones. This is used to connect the NuVo T2 Tuner, which has a single IR direct input to control both tuners to the Essentia System or an IR blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of components. This is done by plugging a single mono 1/8” patch cable into the SUM IR output and into the Direct IR input.

VII. Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones
Six additional listening zones can be added to the Essentia System using the Essentia Expander package. The expansion is easily done using the Source Link and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the Essentia main amplifier, Fig. 7.
The necessary cables for this are supplied with the Expander package. No other connections are necessary with the exception of the AC power cord and the additional speaker terminations. The additional CAT5 wires for the zones 7-12 plug into the EZ Port.
VIII. Installing the Essentia Keypads
You are now ready to install the keypads and complete the Essentia installation. This is easily done using a rotary switch located on the back of the keypad to set a specific zone address for each keypad, Fig. 8.

EQ Control and Source Grouping
To change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1 button simultaneously. Adjust the bass level up or down by using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. The volume indicator LEDs will indicate the output level, fig. 8. Adjust treble response using the same process. This is accessed by pressing the Mute and Source 2 buttons. Once the desired setting is made, press the Source button again to return the keypad to normal operation.
Source grouping is a feature that allows multiple zones in an open living space to always share the same source selection but still retain individual volume and on/off control. This is achieved by pressing Mute and Source 3. Volume Up enables the group function, and Volume Down disables the group function and causes the keypad to operate independently of all other groups, fig. 10.

All On/Party Mode
The Essentia System has an All On feature. Any keypad within the system, which can be up to twelve zones, has the ability to become a master control for the entire house. The master keypad will control zone on, volume level, and source selection for all other zones.
Fig. 12
The lit volume LED will flash when the keypad is in Master Mode.
To place a keypad in Master Mode function, simply press the Mute and Source 4 buttons simultaneously. This will cause the volume indicator LED for that zones keypad to flash continuously and adjust to a preset volume level (-60 dB). All other zones will then turn on to the same relative volume level and increase or decrease with the volume adjustment on the master keypad, fig. 12. Each keypad volume LED indicates a preset meter level threshold, fig. 13.
Any of the other zone keypads have the ability to override the master function by selecting a new source, changing a local zones volume control, or by turning a local zones keypad off and back on.
The master mode is turned off by repeating the sequence of pressing the Mute and Source 4 buttons.
Volume Reset
Each zone has the capability of turning on at two different volume level settings. At factory default the zone will turn on at the previous listening level. If desired, you can change that default to a low level volume reset regardless of the previous level.

Each zone of the Essentia amplifier has two 3.5mm mini stereo outputs. These are fixed and variable lineouts used for adding additional amplification when necessary for each zone. A distinct advantage to the NuVo equipment is the ability to use the amplified output, variable and fixed lineouts all simultaneously on all zones. The Essentia amplifier has zone trigger outputs that provide a 12V trigger for additional amplification. This enables the attached amplifier to be triggered on and off with the zone keypad.
Zone Variable Lineout
The variable lineout is designed to allow additional audio amplification volume level to be controlled from that zone’s keypad. When used in conjunction with the zone amplified output, fig. 15, all the speaker’s volume will track with the keypad volume level.

In some zone applications, it is more advantageous to have a separate volume control on the additional speakers being driven by an additional amplifier. This is common with outdoor zones. The fixed lineout offers the capability to add amplification, but the audio signal is not affected by the zone keypad volume level. Therefore, it requires a separate volume control for those speakers, fig. 16.

XI. The NV-LRC1 IR Remote Control
The Essentia System comes with the NV-LRC1 Learning Remote Control. This remote allows wireless control of all keypad functions, as well as the functions of the audio source equipment. Each NuVo zone keypad has an IR receiver that captures the specific source commands from any remote control and in turn sends the command ultimately to the appropriate source equipment. Embedded IR code libraries makes use of the LRC1 with a large variety of audio and video equipment easy. For complete setup and functionality refer to the User Guide included with the remote control. Additional remote controls are available from NuVo.
XII. NV-MI1 Mute Interface Adapter
The Mute Interface is used in conjunction with System Mute input in the back of the Essentia amplifier. It acts as a relay for a voltage from up to two phone lines and two doorbell transformers. When a voltage is presented to the MI1 it then sends a contact closure to the Essentia System, which in turn causes the system to mute momentarily. This is useful in allowing the telephone ring or doorbell to be heard when audio is playing in any of the zones, Fig. 17.

XIII. NV-LSA40 Local Source Amplifier
The LSA40 is 40 watt accessary amplifier that allows any line-level audio signal local to a zone to be amplified through that zone’s speakers. It is designed to be used universally in a variety of applications, but as shown in fig. 18, it can be triggered on and off by any zone keypad. When connected to the keypad, the user will listen to the NuVo audio system when the zone is turned on. When the zone is off the LSA40 will automatically amplify any incoming local audio signal.

XIV. NV-LSA40PD Local Source Amplifier Power Distribution Hub
The LSA40PD is a great device for distributing the necessary DC power to up to 4 individual LSA40 amplifiers. This allows the LSA40 components to be remotely located without the need for an external power supply in the zone, fig. 19. The LSA40PD is typically located where the Essentia amplifier is installed. The power from the head end to each of LSA40 locations is sent over standard 16 gauge speaker wire.

XV. NV-LSI12 Local Source Interrupt
A lower cost alternative to the LSA40 is the LSI12. This is a non-amplified local source interrupt. It is installed in the same way the LSA40 is installed, but the incoming local signal must be amplified, fig 20. This is a useful accessory where a local amplified signal is already present.
Fig. 20
The connection from the LSI12 is

XVI. NV-P2100 200 Watt Auxiliary Amplifier
The P2100 is specifically designed for use with the NuVo Systems' lineouts. It can be used with either the fixed or variable lineouts on the Essentia with either a 1/8” (3.5mm) to 1/8” stereo patch cable or a 1/8” stereo to RCA patch cable, Fig 21.
There are two methods for triggering the P2100 from the Essentia outputs. One is to set the POWER MODE switch on the P2100 to Audio (the extreme left position) and allow an incoming audio signal from the Essentia System to turn on the P2100. The second method is to place the POWER MODE switch in the AC/DC (extreme right) position. This will turn on the P2100 when the Essentia is on. An additional feature of Essentia is zone specific triggers that will trigger the P2100 only when that zone is turned on.

Utilizing the voltage trigger requires a mono 1/8” (3.5mm) patch cable from either the System ON output on the Essentia to the P2100 Voltage trigger input, or from the specific Zone Trigger on the Essentia to the Voltage Trigger on the P2100, Fig. 22.
RS232 Interface
The RS232 port allows external two-way communication with the Essentia System. Home automation systems such as Crestron and AMX can be set up to operate Essentia. The RS232 addendum contains the necessary command sets for communication with the Essentia System.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Probable Cause
Remedy
When the keypad is plugged in there is a loud pop through the speakers and the keypad does not work.
When the keypad is plugged in, it just flashes and has no functionality.
The amplifier is plugged in and turned on, but the STAND BY LED is not lit and none of
The zone is on and music is playing, but the keypad only flashes when I try to change source, control volume, mute, or turn the zone off.
Improperly wired CAT5 cable. Check that you are using the 568A or B
wiring standard (see section I: Crimping CAT5 wire). The best way to know is to use a CAT5 tester.
Assigning duplicate addresses to multiple keypads.
This is most likely caused by a blown fuse on the power supply.
The parental lock is assigned on that particular keypad.
Each keypad must have a unique address set with the Zone Address rotary switch located on the back of the keypad (see section VII, Installing the Essentia keypads.
The fuse is accessed at the back of the amplifier where the AC cord plugs in. It requires a 4 amp time delay fuse.
Pressing and holding the active Source button on the keypad will activate a lock feature and prevent any functionality. When locked the keypad will simply flash when a function is attempted. Pressing and holding the source button again will unlock the keypad.
All the keypads change when a source is selected on only one.
With the keypads plugged in, the POWER LED on the front of the amplifier will not turn on.
The IR repeater does not properly control the audio source equipment.
The keypads are set for Source Grouping. Pressing the MUTE and Source 3 button
simultaneously sets the Source Grouping feature. This will cause multiple keypads to always share the same source (see Section IX, Zone EQ and Source Grouping on page 11).
One or more improperly wired CAT5 cables. Make sure the amplifier is turned on. Test
that the POWER LED on the amplifier turns on when the Network Cable is unplugged. Next, unplug all the CAT5 cables from the EZ Port and plug them back in one at a time until the bad cable(s) is discovered.
One or more of the IR emitters are not properly placed over the IR receiver on the audio source equipment, or the IR output on the Essentia does not correspond with the audio equipment you are controlling.
20
Reposition the LED end of the emitter on the face of the source equipment, so it is flashing directly over that source’s IR receiver. Make sure that the emitter plugged into IR Output #1 is actually going to source #1 , and so on for sources 2-6.

Addendum
Control Interface Description Document for the Nuvo E6D Main Unit
Revision E (for Nuvo E6D Mark II systems only) June 8, 2006
DB9M PORT PINOUTS:
SERIAL PORT PARAMETERS: protocol.
RULES OF PROTOCOL:
(1) For alpha ASCII characters, always use UPPER CASE. In this document, actual characters in a string are presented in
BOLD type. (2) All numerical fields are coded as ASCII digit characters. (3) Each Command string is STARTED with an ASCII “ ” character and terminated by a <CR> character (0D hexadecimal).
Each response string issued by the E6D will START with an ASCII “ ” and be terminated with a <CR> character (0D
hexadecimal). (4) If a command has an error in it (does not adhere to exact command syntax), the E6D will respond with a “
string. (5) Whenever queuing multiple commands to the E6D, the host program should pause for 50 milliseconds between
commands to prevent buffer overruns.
NUVO POWER-ON STATE:
(1) Each zone is OFF until ON command is received.
(2) Each zone's ZoneSet status will be as set by the special key combination settings as detailed in the owner's manual.
If no keypad is connected with a given zone address, then ZoneSet will default to:
A. OR0 (No override) B. BASS+0 (Bass FLAT) C. TREB+0 (Treble FLAT) D. GRP0 (SOURCE GROUPING OFF) E. VRST1 (VOLUME RESET TO 50 dB ON)
If these zone settings are overridden by the commands which follow in this document, the overridden values will reset to the default values above upon cycling power on the Main Unit.
(3) For the first four seconds after power-on, a series of non-control related characters will be issued at a wide range of
baud rates. These are necessary queries to a program that may be running on a connected PC for the purpose of Firmware field upgrades. They should be ignored by the host control system.
Nuvo Transmit to System Controller on pin 2. Nuvo Receive from System Controller on pin 3. Ground on pin 5.

Once a parameter has been SET by one of these commands, it will remain UNTIL: a. power is cycled on the Main Unit either with the front panel power switch or by removing AC power. Upon power-up,
the system will restore keypad permanent settings (see the User Manual for details on how to perform these settings).
b. an operator manually sets one of these parameters from a keypad. This takes the unit out of OVERRIDE state, but
other RS232-commanded settings will remain until another RS232 command overrides them, or power is cycled.
