Step 1- Download NuVo Software
For proper functionality the newest firmware is required. To install the current Configurator
software and NV-CTP36-V2 firmware visit nuvotechnologies.com/prozone. Select the Dealer
Resource Center icon. Enter your user name and password and then select the Software
Download link. Select SW-I8G/E6G to download the programming software if using a Grand
Concerto, or SW-RV if using Renovia. Next select SW-CTP36-V2 and download the NV-CTP36-
V2 firmware (it will be a zipped file).
Step 2- Write your Configuration
The Color Touch Pad needs a zone address assigned through the NuVo Configurator
programming software. If the CTP36-V2 is used to control one amplified zone, address the
control pad to that specific zone number.
If multi-zone control is desired, create two zones for the CTP36-V2. First, give it an address in
the amplified zone in which it is located. Next, add an additional address in a non-audio zone
(Grand Concerto numbers 17-20, Renovia numbers 13-15 & 17-20). The software will request
the CTP36-V2 be slaved to an audio zone. Click the "Slave to" drop down menu and select the
audio zone labeled previously.
Step 3- Wire Run
If you are replacing an existing NuVo Control Pad you may skip this step. Otherwise run CAT5
wire from the location of the NuVo Grand Concerto EZPort to the desired location of the Color
Touch Pad. Terminate each end of the CAT5 with an RJ45 connection in a 568a configuration.
Plug the CAT5 cable into an open RJ45 port on the back of the EZPort (Fig. A).
If using the NV-CTP36-V2 with the Renovia in-wall zone amplifier, a simple wire run from the
Zone Amp's NuVoNet connection to the Color Touch Pad's location is necessary (Fig. B), or from
the NuVoNet connection on the Freestanding Zone Amplifier (Fig. C).
Step 4- NuVoNet Connection
Connect the CAT5 cable to the RJ45 connection labeled NuVoNet on the back of the CTP36-V2
(Fig. D).
Step 5- Mounting the CTP36-V2
The CTP36-V2's location should be at an average eye level for the user. It is designed to be
installed in a standard dual gang pre-construction or "old works" mounting ring or box. First
mount the metal mounting ring included with the CTP36-V2 package into the installed wall
mud ring or low-voltage box. Second, screw the CTP36-V2 into the metal mounting ring (Fig E).
Step 6- Update the Firmware
First, update your Grand Concerto or Renovia system by uploading the configuration file.
Place a DB9 serial cable between your laptop and the programming port on the back of the
Grand Concerto (Fig. F). Note that most newer laptops do not include a serial port, so a USB
to Serial cable will be necessary. If updating a Renovia system you will use a USB cable (Fig.
G). Open the Configurator software and upload your configuration file to the system.
Next you will update the firmware on the NV-CTP36. Locate the software downloaded in
Step 1, and unzip the file. Using a USB-A to Mini-B cable, connect your laptop to the USB
connection on the front of the NV-CTP36 (Fig. H). Run the Color Touch Pad software, called
CTP36Loader.exe. Follow the on-screen prompts to update the firmware on the NV-CTP36.
Step 7- Address the Color Touch Pad
The last step is to address the NV-CTP36. When configuring this system with the NuVo
Configurator software you should have labeled, in the zone tab, a name for this control pad.
Select that name from the list (Fig. I).
If using the Color Touch Pad for multi-zone control select the zone name addressed in the
non-audio zone in step 2, not the amplified zone. Next, press the Home button. Press the
Tool icon in the bottom right and choose Touchscreen Options from the available list. Check
Multi-zone Control to enable Multi-room control from the Color Touch Pad.
