Terminating The Speaker Wire; Installing The Essentia Amplifier; Installing The Nv-E6Gmap-Dc Allport - Nuvo Essentia NV-E6GMS-UK Installation Manual

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. The suggested
wire for this purpose is 16-gauge, 2- or 4- conductor
speaker wire rated for in-wall use. The termination is
performed using a modular "Euro" connector. Each
conductor is screwed down to the Euro connector and
plugged into the appropriate zone speaker connection on
the back of the Allport. The proper termination for each zone
+
is Left channel: — and , and Right channel: — and
III. Installing the Essentia Amplifier
System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the
same location as the audio source equipment. This is
typically in an audio rack, entertainment center, or a closet
dedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment. To
insure cool, reliable operation, we highly recommend
allowing one empty rack space above a Main or an Expander
amplifier unit. Also, insure there is ventilation around the
whole rack location.
The amplifier should be plugged in and the blue Standby LED
should be lit before proceeding with the remaining
installation. This activates protective circuitry for the
internal components.
IV. Installing the NV-E6GMAP-UK Allport (Fig. 3)
The Allport is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all
the CAT5 and speaker wires from all zones of the Essentia
System. The location of the Allport should be determined by
the location of the Essentia amplifier. It is best to place it in
a wall behind the amplifier that can be easily accessible if
necessary.
The Allport is designed to fit into most any dual mounting
box, and has two sets of terminations on the backside. Eight
RJ45 jacks are meant for the Control Pads in up to six zones,
with one reserved for an additional Control Pad and another
for a "link" jack used for expansion from six to twelve zones.
The order in which the CAT5 cables are plugged into the jacks
is irrelevant to the system's operation. Six modular "Euro"
connectors are used to terminate the speakers in each zone,
see Section II, Terminating the Speaker Wire.
Once the speaker and CAT5 terminations are complete, the
Allport can be installed.
