The order in which the CAT5 cables are plugged into the jacks is irrelevant to the system's operation. Six modular “Euro” All NuVo Systems operate across a “homerun” wiring scheme connectors are used to terminate the speakers in each zone, using CAT5 for the zone's Control Pad communication and see Section II, Terminating the Speaker Wire.

Capturing IR codes using the IR Learning Station Interface The Essentia Configurator Software is designed to store IR codes for audio equipment in an IR Library. When the codes are learned for a given piece of equipment, they are held in the library under that equipment's manufacturer name and model number. Once learned, any of the equipment in the library can be imported into a new Configuration.
Essentia System, which causes the system to mute momentarily. This is useful in allowing the telephone or doorbell to be heard when audio is playing in any of the zones. The NuVo NV-MI1 Mute Interface Module is designed to automatically mute any audio playing through the System’s speakers when the telephone or doorbell rings.
The other is labeled NV-E6GLSA. This is intended to react to the LSI24 accessory. It requires an RJ45 connection at the Control Pad end and the Brown and Brown Stripe pair as a voltage trigger. When the Control Pad is on, NuVo audio is allowed to pass to the speakers in the zone.
When connected to the Control Pad, the Essentia speaker output and the LSA40 share a common pair of speakers in a zone. The LSA40’s internal A/B switch allows NuVo audio when the zone Control Pad is turned on and local audio through the LSA40, when the zone Control Pad is turned off.
Source Amplifiers from one central location. The LSA40PDS distributes the power over 16-AWG two conductor speaker wire to each of up to four individual LSA40 amplifiers. Connecting the LSA40 to the NuVo Control Pad and speakers is identical to the individual zone installation diagramed on page 37, Fig.
D460, as shown in Fig. 55. Note that there are two simultaneous outputs. The variable output (VAR) allows the NuVo zone controller to control the volume output of the attached amplifier. The fixed output is constant and requires a separate volume control. This is very useful when you are using an existing receiver for additional amplification and you would prefer to use the receiver’s volume control.
