  • Page 13 The Coordinator has a 5 position rotary switch for setting a “Peripheral Device” address. There are four of these available to each NuVo System. Typically the switch can be left in its default position (1), but if another Peripheral Device, such as the NV- NNA NuVoNet Adapter, is being used, each of the devices must have an independent setting, 1 –...

At this prompt, press the SETUP button on the Coordinator and then press the OK button on the Wireless Control Pad.
  • Page 16 Zone Address (Fig. 7): When communication is established between the Wireless Control Pad and the System's Coordinator, the Wireless Control Pad will prompt you to set a “Zone Address”.

  • Page 19: Using The Coordinator/Repeater As A Repeater

    IV. Using the Coordinator/Repeater as a Repeater (Fig. 10) In some cases, good communication between the Wireless Control Pads and the System's Coordinator may be challenged. Installing an additional Coordinator/Repeater NV-WCPR component as an intermediate signal repeater often can extend communication distance. This is easily done by setting the rotary switch on the bottom of the additional Coordinator/Repeater to the “R”...
  • Page 20 The use of a Repeater should be limited to only those instances where it is necessary. Each time a Repeater is added to the communication string the data throughput to the Coordinator is reduced, and you should avoid more than two Repeaters in a string. Therefore, best performance is achieved when the Coordinator is centrally located and associated Repeaters communicate directly with the Coordinator.
  • Page 21 Make sure the rotary switch is in the 'R' position. If this does not solve the problem, try restoring factory defaults on the Repeater by pressing and holding the SETUP button for 2 seconds. If the fast blink persists, call NuVo tech. support.

This is accessed from the Wireless Control Pad by pressing the Up and Down arrows simultaneously. Three points of information will appear on the right side of the display.
  • Page 23 Two numeric values will appear. The first is the LQI, Link Quality Index. This is a measurement of the Bit Error Rate (BER) associated with the current packet being received by the Coordinator from the WCP. The number value will range from 0 to 255, with 255 being the best possible connection.
