ENGLISH 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) 8 6 4 3 2 1... -

Page 6: Introduction
Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of NuVo's new Essentia System. Essentia provides 40 startlingly clear watts of sound to up to 12 listening zones(12 zones with the addition of the expander). NuVo's Generation D amplification uses the latest in digital technology to provide peak performance in a system that sets a new standard for efficiency and energy conservation. -

This input is designed to temporarily mute any audio playing through the system when the doorbell or phone rings. This works in conjunction with the NuVo NV-MI1 mute interface accessory. It also acts as a trigger for whole house paging through any third party paging device when set for this function in the Configurator Software. -

“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 Control Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector. -
Page 11: Terminating The Speaker Wire
II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (Fig. 2) All NuVo Systems operate across a “homerun” wiring scheme using CAT5 for the zone's Control Pad communication and control, and a separate run of speaker wire for each zone. The Essentia operates differently in that its zone speaker wire termination is made at the Allport hub. -

IX. Using the Essentia Configurator Software The following section includes the optional NV-I8DLS IR Learning Station. This is available as a package from NuVo Technologies or any Authorized NuVo Distributor. The Configurator Software is a PC program designed to run with Windows 2000, XP, and XP Pro. - Page 16 Configurator is “Waiting for IR Communications. ” To record a new code, simply point the component's remote control at the IR receiver on the NuVo IR Learning Station Interface. The first time you enter a code, the Configurator determines if it is a “toggling function, ” which means that the remote actually sends two commands back-to-back.

2.4 IR Library Test (Fig. 16) An important feature of the Essentia Configurator is the ability to test each IR code as it is added to the IR Library. This insures that every code will work reliably. When a new code is added, while it is still highlighted, click on the test button, or double click on the highlighted code. -

Even though the components are assigned, you must still set the NuVoNet source inputs on each of the components, see Setting NuVo Sources for use with NuvoNet, pg. 9 & 10. Fig. 19 4. Macros (Fig. 20) - Page 20 Fig. 20 4.1 Edit Macro Definition (Fig. 21) The Macro tab has a Source pull down menu that displays the six sources defined in their order 1-6. When a non-NuVoNet source is highlighted and selected, three separate definition windows appear on the right side of the screen. The left side of the screen is a representation of the Control Pad display.

In some zones this is necessary when a third-party remote is often used to control a non–NuVo System source such as a TV. This would eliminate that remote control's commands from being received by the Control Pad and passed through to the source equipment.

XII. Essentia Accessories The NV-I8DLS IR Learning Station Interface 1. PASSTHRU: This LED (light emitting diode) remains lit when the Interface box is actively passing IR information through the system. 2. READY: When you are inputting IR codes into the Configurator using the Interface box, this LED will light when the system is ready to learn a new code. - Page 34 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.

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. -
Page 37: Nv-Lsa40 Local Source Amplifier
When connected to the Essentia 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. -

If the issue is a shorted CAT5, the symptom will display when that cable is connected to the system. A damaged MCU must be replaced by NuVo. Make sure the amplifier is turned on. Test that the POWER LED on the amplifier turns on when the Network Cable is unplugged. - Page 42 Essentia Main amplifier, a “board not found” error message appears on the computer screen. Probable Cause The NuVo IR output is not set at the best carrier frequency. An External light source is interfering with IR communication through the system.
