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) 8 6 4 3 2 1...

    The Simplese 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 Allport connection hub. 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.

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.
  • Page 15: Master Mode/All On

    Master Mode/All On The Simplese System has an All On feature. Any keypad within the system, which can be up to eight 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.
  • Page 16: Using The Fixed And Variable Lineouts

    Zone 4 is equipped with two types of pre-amp lineouts for use with an additional amplifier. This can be dedicated to an outdoor zone or large living area that would benefit from more than one pair of speakers. NuVo manufactures a 200-watt stereo amplifier specifically designed for this purpose, called the NuVo P2100, although any audio amplifier can be used with the lineouts.
  • Page 17: Using The Link Jack

    The fixed lineout can be used for zones where it is more appropriate to have a separate volume control from the NuVo keypad for the external amplifier, fig. 10. A good example of this use would be an outdoor zone that is being used in conjunction with zone 4.
  • Page 18: Mute Input

    IX. Mute Input and the NuVo MI1 The back panel of the Simplese amplifier has a 3.5mm mono input labeled MUTE. This is designed to be used with the NuVo MI1 Mute Interface. When the MI1 is connected, the system will temporarily mute when the phone or doorbell rings, fig. 12.
  • Page 19: The Lsa40 Local Source Amplifier

    LSA40 to automatically amplify any incoming line-level audio signal. As described in fig. 13, the LSA40 can be connected to the Simplese keypad allowing use with a local source or an incoming NuVo system source through a common pair of speakers in any zone.
  • Page 20: The Lsa40Pd Power Distribution Hub

    The Allport receives the speaker and CAT5 wires from each zone and connects them to the Simplese Any NuVo System zone output can be wired to the LSA40 Local Source Amplifier. 16 gauge 2 conductor speaker wire is required to send voltage from the LSA40PD to four separate zones.
