IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
DURATION PER DAY (HOURS)86432 1
SOUND LEVEL (dB) 90 93 95 97 100 103

The level of the zone volume is indicated by these LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The power button turns that keypad's zone on and off independently of the other zones. Pressing and holding the power button turns all zones off simultaneously. Independent audio volume level for each zone is controlled with these buttons. Each keypad has an IR (infrared) receiver located under the volume button for wireless control of the audio source equipment. The mute button temporarily silences any audio playing in that keypad's zone. The source buttons independently select any of the six sources connected to the Essentia amplifier. The selected source button will remain lit.

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.
