Installing the Essentia System in Your Home  
I. Prewire  
The Essentia 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 Essentia amplifier and Audio Source equipment.  
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.  
Top view with  
tab down.  
The Essentia System can accommodate 2,000 total feet of  
CAT5 cable. For the most reliable operation, it is best that  
no single run of CAT5 exceeds 250 feet.  
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
The correct wiring scheme for the CAT5 cable is standard  
EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the CAT5 cable is  
crucial for the operation of the system. It is very important  
to use a good quality crimp tool, and test each end to end  
run with a CAT5 wire tester to insure that your system  
operates flawlessly, fig.1.

5. Blue Stripe  
6. Orange  
7. Brown Stripe  
8. Brown  
Step-by-Step Crimping Instructions:  
1.  
Strip a 2 to 3 inch portion of the insulation,  
exposing the 4 twisted pairs.  
2.  
Untwist the wires and fan them out  
individually. Arrange the wires into the  
correct color scheme as shown in Fig. 1.  
Note: Colors listed as “stripe” are a white wire  
with a colored stripe.  
3.  
4.  
Flatten the wires in their correct order, and trim  
them evenly across the top. Most crimp tools have  
a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires  
to about ½” in length.  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
While holding the wires flat between your thumb  
and forefinger, insert the wires into the RJ45  
connector, so each is in its own slot. Push the wire  
into the RJ45, so all 8 conductors touch the end of  
the connector. The insulation jacket should  
extend beyond the crimp point of the RJ45.  
Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle and  
squeeze the tool firmly. Note that a ratchet type  
tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.  
The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the CAT5  
insulation. It is necessary that the color scheme  
be repeated identically on each end of the wire.

II. Installing the Essentia Amplifier  
Once you have plugged the Cat-5 wires into the EZ Port, screw the  
EZ Port into its construction bracket using the supplied mounting  
screws.  
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.  
The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button on the  
front panel should be depressed before proceeding with the rest of  
the installation. This activates the internal protective circuitry of  
the Essentia System.  
Fig. 2  
II. Terminating Speaker Wire  
The speaker wire for each zone is terminated in a standard Euro-  
style connector that plugs into each zone specific amplified  
output. The common speaker termination scheme is Left - Left +,  
Right - Right +. Either two or four-conductor 16-guage wire is  
recommended. Larger than 14-guage wire will not fit into the  
euro connector.  
To terminate the speaker wire, strip back the outer jacket and  
expose the inner conductors. Strip approximately 1/4” (4 mm)  
of the insulation from the inner conductors exposing the copper  
wire. Place the exposed wire in the euro connector and tighten  
the screw down terminals, fig. 2.  
LEFT LEFT RIGHT RIGHT  
+
+
- -  
Be careful not to allow the exposed wire from each conductor to  
touch the adjacent conductor. This will short the speaker input.  
Each speaker output is designed for two 8-Ohm speakers.  
Overloading the amplifier could cause it to overheat and do  
damage to the output.  
Fig. 3  
III. Installing the NV-E6DEZP EZ Port  
The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the  
CAT5 wires from the keypads in the system. The location of the EZ  
Port should be determined by the location of the Essentia  
amplifier. It is best to place in the wall behind the amplifier that  
would be easily accessible if necessary.  
The EZ Port fits easily in any dual-gang size construction bracket  
with an open back. These are often referred to as “mud rings”.  
Simply plug the terminated CAT5 wires into any of the sixteen  
available jacks on the back of the EZ Port, Fig. 3. The order in  
which the individual CAT5 wires are plugged is in not important,  
although it is strongly recommended that you label the CAT5 with  
the appropriate zone number for future reference.

IV. Connecting the EZ Port to the Essentia amplifier  
When the EZ Port is installed in the wall the only part visible  
should be the faceplate and a single RJ45 jack. The supplied pre-  
terminated network cable can then be plugged into the jack on  
the EZ Port and into the network connection on the back of the  
Essentia amplifier, Fig. 4. Any CAT5 cable terminated using 568A  
or 568B network wiring will suffice should you need a longer  
connection.

VI. Connecting the IR Emitters  
IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from the  
Essentia amplifier to the source equipment via mini IR mouse  
emitters. Six of these are supplied with your Essentia System.  
The emitter is plugged into the corresponding source IR output  
on the Essentia and then placed over the IR receiver window on  
the source component, fig. 6. The IR outputs are individually  
routed to sources 1-6 allowing IR commands from the chosen  
source to only control that source.  
Fig. 6  
The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that is sent from  
any of the zones. This is used to connect the NuVo T2 Tuner,  
which has a single IR direct input to control both tuners to the  
Essentia System or an IR blaster designed to flash IR commands  
to a variety of components. This is done by plugging a single  
mono 1/8” patch cable into the SUM IR output and into the Direct  
IR input.

X. Using the Fixed and Variable Lineouts  
Each zone of the Essentia amplifier has two 3.5mm mini stereo outputs. These are fixed and variable lineouts used for adding additional  
amplification when necessary for each zone. A distinct advantage to the NuVo equipment is the ability to use the amplified output,  
variable and fixed lineouts all simultaneously on all zones. The Essentia amplifier has zone trigger outputs that provide a 12V trigger for  
additional amplification. This enables the attached amplifier to be triggered on and off with the zone keypad.  
Zone Variable Lineout  
The variable lineout is designed to allow additional audio amplification volume level to be controlled from that zone’s keypad. When  
used in conjunction with the zone amplified output, fig. 15, all the speaker’s volume will track with the keypad volume level.

Zone Fixed Lineout  
In some zone applications, it is more advantageous to have a separate volume control on the additional speakers being driven by an  
additional amplifier. This is common with outdoor zones. The fixed lineout offers the capability to add amplification, but the audio signal  
is not affected by the zone keypad volume level. Therefore, it requires a separate volume control for those speakers, fig. 16.

XI. The NV-LRC1 IR Remote Control  
The Essentia System comes with the NV-LRC1 Learning Remote Control. This remote allows wireless control of all keypad functions, as  
well as the functions of the audio source equipment. Each NuVo zone keypad has an IR receiver that captures the specific source  
commands from any remote control and in turn sends the command ultimately to the appropriate source equipment. Embedded IR code  
libraries makes use of the LRC1 with a large variety of audio and video equipment easy. For complete setup and functionality refer to the  
User Guide included with the remote control. Additional remote controls are available from NuVo.  
XII. NV-MI1 Mute Interface Adapter  
The Mute Interface is used in conjunction with System Mute input in the back of the Essentia amplifier. It acts as a relay for a voltage  
from up to two phone lines and two doorbell transformers. When a voltage is presented to the MI1 it then sends a contact closure to the  
Essentia System, which in turn causes the system to mute momentarily. This is useful in allowing the telephone ring or doorbell to be  
heard when audio is playing in any of the zones, Fig. 17.

XIII. NV-LSA40 Local Source Amplifier  
The LSA40 is 40 watt accessary amplifier that allows any line-level audio signal local to a zone to be amplified through that zone’s  
speakers. It is designed to be used universally in a variety of applications, but as shown in fig. 18, it can be triggered on and off by any  
zone keypad. When connected to the keypad, the user will listen to the NuVo audio system when the zone is turned on. When the zone is  
off the LSA40 will automatically amplify any incoming local audio signal.

XIV. NV-LSA40PD Local Source Amplifier Power Distribution Hub  
The LSA40PD is a great device for distributing the necessary DC power to up to 4 individual LSA40 amplifiers. This allows the LSA40  
components to be remotely located without the need for an external power supply in the zone, fig. 19. The LSA40PD is typically located  
where the Essentia amplifier is installed. The power from the head end to each of LSA40 locations is sent over standard 16 gauge speaker  
wire.

XV. NV-LSI12 Local Source Interrupt  
A lower cost alternative to the LSA40 is the LSI12. This is a non-amplified local source interrupt. It is installed in the same way the LSA40  
is installed, but the incoming local signal must be amplified, fig 20. This is a useful accessory where a local amplified signal is already  
present.  
Fig. 20  
The connection from the LSI12 is  
done with the provided two prong  
plug. Make sure that red is positive  
and black is negative when splicing  
the two conductor wire from the LSI12.  
The selected zone speaker output of the Essentia or Simplese  
amplifier is wired directly to the LSI12.

There are two methods for triggering the P2100 from the Essentia  
outputs. One is to set the POWER MODE switch on the P2100 to  
Audio (the extreme left position) and allow an incoming audio  
signal from the Essentia System to turn on the P2100. The second  
method is to place the POWER MODE switch in the AC/DC  
(extreme right) position. This will turn on the P2100 when the  
Essentia is on. An additional feature of Essentia is zone specific  
triggers that will trigger the P2100 only when that zone is turned  
on.

Troubleshooting  
Remedy  
Symptom  
Probable Cause  
When the keypad is plugged in there is a  
loud pop through the speakers and the  
keypad does not work.  
Improperly wired CAT5 cable.  
Check that you are using the 568A or B  
wiring standard (see section I: Crimping  
CAT5 wire). The best way to know is to  
use a CAT5 tester.  
When the keypad is plugged in, it just  
flashes and has no functionality.  
Assigning duplicate addresses to multiple  
keypads.  
Each keypad must have a unique address  
set with the Zone Address rotary switch  
located on the back of the keypad (see  
section VII, Installing the Essentia  
keypads.  
The amplifier is plugged in and turned on,  
but the STAND BY LED is not lit and none of  
This is most likely caused by a blown fuse  
on the power supply.  
The fuse is accessed at the back of the  
amplifier where the AC cord plugs in. It  
requires a 4 amp time delay fuse.  
The zone is on and music is playing, but  
the keypad only flashes when I try to  
change source, control volume, mute, or  
turn the zone off.  
The parental lock is assigned on that  
particular keypad.  
Pressing and holding the active Source  
button on the keypad will activate a lock  
feature and prevent any functionality.  
When locked the keypad will simply flash  
when a function is attempted. Pressing  
and holding the source button again will  
unlock the keypad.  
All the keypads change when a source is  
selected on only one.  
The keypads are set for Source Grouping.  
One or more improperly wired CAT5 cables.  
Pressing the MUTE and Source 3 button  
simultaneously sets the Source Grouping  
feature. This will cause multiple keypads  
to always share the same source (see  
Section IX, Zone EQ and Source Grouping  
on page 11).  
With the keypads plugged in, the POWER  
LED on the front of the amplifier will not  
turn on.  
Make sure the amplifier is turned on. Test  
that the POWER LED on the amplifier  
turns on when the Network Cable is  
unplugged. Next, unplug all the CAT5  
cables from the EZ Port and plug them  
back in one at a time until the bad  
cable(s) is discovered.  
The IR repeater does not properly control  
the audio source equipment.  
One or more of the IR emitters are not  
properly placed over the IR receiver on the  
audio source equipment, or the IR output  
on the Essentia does not correspond with  
the audio equipment you are controlling.  
Reposition the LED end of the emitter on  
the face of the source equipment, so it  
is flashing directly over that source’s IR  
receiver. Make sure that the emitter  
plugged into IR Output #1 is actually  
going to source #1 , and so on for  
sources 2-6.

Addendum  
Control Interface Description Document for the Nuvo E6D Main Unit  
Revision E (for Nuvo E6D Mark II systems only) June 8, 2006  
DB9M PORT PINOUTS:  
Nuvo Transmit to System Controller on pin 2.  
Nuvo Receive from System Controller on pin 3.  
Ground on pin 5.  
SERIAL PORT PARAMETERS: RS232, RTS/CTS or software flow control (XON/XOFF) NOT required, 9600 baud, 8N1  
protocol.  
RULES OF PROTOCOL:  
(1) For alpha ASCII characters, always use UPPER CASE. In this document, actual characters in a string are presented in  
BOLD type.  
(2) All numerical fields are coded as ASCII digit characters.  
(3) Each Command string is STARTED with an ASCII “*” character and terminated by a <CR> character (0D hexadecimal).  
Each response string issued by the E6D will START with an ASCII “#” and be terminated with a <CR> character (0D  
hexadecimal).  
(4) If a command has an error in it (does not adhere to exact command syntax), the E6D will respond with a “#?<CR>”  
string.  
(5) Whenever queuing multiple commands to the E6D, the host program should pause for 50 milliseconds between  
commands to prevent buffer overruns.  
NUVO POWER-ON STATE:  
(1) Each zone is OFF until ON command is received.  
(2) Each zone's ZoneSet status will be as set by the special key combination settings as detailed in the owner's manual.  
If no keypad is connected with a given zone address, then ZoneSet will default to:  
A. OR0 (No override)  
B. BASS+0 (Bass FLAT)  
C. TREB+0 (Treble FLAT)  
D. GRP0 (SOURCE GROUPING OFF)  
E. VRST1 (VOLUME RESET TO 50 dB ON)  
If these zone settings are overridden by the commands which follow in this document, the overridden values will reset  
to the default values above upon cycling power on the Main Unit.  
(3) For the first four seconds after power-on, a series of non-control related characters will be issued at a wide range of  
baud rates. These are necessary queries to a program that may be running on a connected PC for the purpose of  
Firmware field upgrades. They should be ignored by the host control system.  
NON-VOLATILE COMMANDS AND ASSOCIATED RESPONSES With the exception of commands associated with setting the  
IR carrier frequency, the effect of all commands is non-permanent; i.e. when power is cycled on the main unit, it will return to  
default values. The commands that are an exception to this rule follow in this section.  
*********************************************************************************  
COMMAND:  
RESPONSE: #IRSET:aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff<CR> where:  
aa = IR carrier frequency of SOURCE 1 ("38" or "56")  
*IRSETSR<CR> Reads status of SOURCE IR carrier frequency settings.  
bb = carrier frequency of SOURCE 2 ("38" or "56")  
cc = carrier frequency of SOURCE 3 ("38" or "56")  
dd = carrier frequency of SOURCE 4 ("38" or "56")  
ee = carrier frequency of SOURCE 5 ("38" or "56")  
ff = carrier frequency of SOURCE 6 ("38" or "56")

NOTE: the Main Unit ships with the carrier frequency DEFAULT setting of 38 KHz for all six sources.  
*********************************************************************************  
COMMAND: *IRSETDF<CR> Restores DEFAULT SOURCE IR carrier frequency settings (38 KHz for all six sources).  
RESPONSE: Same response as for #IRSETSR<CR>  
*********************************************************************************  
COMMAND: *SxIR56SET<CR> - sets SOURCE x to 56 KHz IR repeat carrier (x is 1 to 6).  
RESPONSE: Same response as for #IRSETSR<CR>  
*********************************************************************************  
COMMAND: *SxIR38SET<CR> - sets SOURCE x to 38 KHz IR repeat carrier (x is 1 to 6).  
RESPONSE: Same response as for #IRSETSR<CR>  
*********************************************************************************  
COMMAND/RESPONSE DESCRIPTIONS.  
NOTE zone number field xx should ALWAYS include a lead zero (“0”) for zone numbers less than 10.  
COMMAND: *ZxxCONSR<CR> - Connect STATUS REQUEST where xx is zone # from 1 to  
12.  
RESPONSE: #ZxxPWRppp,SRCs,GRPt,VOL-yy,Pzzz<CR> -ppp = “ON” (2 characters)  
or “OFF” (3 characters)  
The remaining fields are not included in the response if ppp is “OFF”:  
-s = SOURCE NUMBER 1 to 6  
-q = 0 if SOURCE GROUP is ON 1if SOURCE GROUP is OFF  
-yy = level below max in dB: -00 to -78 dB (include lead 0 for all single-digit  
values)  
-yy = “MT” if in MUTE state  
-yy = “XM” if external MUTE is being held  
active  
-zzz = “MST” if this zone is PARTY MASTER  
-zzz = “SLV” if this zone is SLAVED to a  
PARTY MASTER in another zone  
-zzz = “OFF” if this zone is under LOCAL CONTROL only (either there is no  
party master, or this zone has been manually  
overridden)  
This response will also be issued in response to pressing the ON/OFF, VOLUME, or SOURCE  
keys on a KEYPAD. NOTE the response will be issued if a SOURCE key is pressed on a  
zone that is powered OFF even though the key press has no effect on the system. It will be  
output at every increment during a volume ramp initiated by HOLDING a VOLUME UP or  
VOLUME DOWN key on a keypad. It will also be issued at every increment of a volume  
ramp commanded by the *ZxxVOL+<CR> and *ZxxVOL-<CR> commands (see below).  
The MUTE value will be asserted if a *ZxMTON<CR> command has been received, OR if the  
volume is run all the way to the lowest possible point (volume off). An active EXTERNAL

COMMAND:  
RESPONSE: #ZxxORp,BASSyy,TREByy,GRPq,VRSTu  
*ZxxSETSR<CR> ZoneSet STATUS REQUEST where xx is zone # from 1 to 12.  
-p = 1 if at least one of the permanent  
values have been overridden* by an RS232 command.  
-yy = EQ level, dB, 12 to +0 (flat) to  
+12 in 2 dB increments if  
set by RS232, -8, -6,-4, 0,  
+4, +6, +8 if set on keypad.  
-q = 0 if SOURCE GROUP is ON  
1 if SOURCE GROUP is OFF  
-u = 0 if VOLUME RESET is ON  
1 if VOLUME RESET is OFF  
*override set to 1 FOR THIS ZONE only if one of commands *ZxxBASSyy<CR>, *ZxxTREByy<CR>, or  
*ZxxGRPq<CR> are issued (see descriptions below).  
Once a parameter has been SET by one of these commands, it will remain UNTIL:  
a. power is cycled on the Main Unit either with the front panel power switch or by removing AC power. Upon power-up,  
the system will restore keypad permanent  
settings (see the User Manual for details on how to perform these settings).  
b. an operator manually sets one of these parameters from a keypad. This takes the unit out of OVERRIDE state, but  
other RS232-commanded settings will remain until another RS232 command overrides them, or power is cycled.  
This response is also issued whenever these parameters are set from a keypad.

COMMAND: *ALLV+<CR> Ramp ALL zones UP at a 10 dB/second rate in 1 dB steps.  
RESPONSE: #ALLV+<CR>  
The ramp action will be cancelled when all zones reach MAXIMUM volume, or when an *ALLHLD<CR> Command is received.  
Note that to stop the ramp with this command before maximum volume, one reference zone must be periodically polled with a  
*ZxxCONSR<CR>

different levels and will all ramp at the same rate.  
*********************************************************************************  
COMMAND: *ALLV-<CR> Ramp ALL zones DOWN at a 10 dB/second rate in 1 dB steps.  
RESPONSE: #ALLV-<CR>  
The ramp action will be cancelled when all zones reach MINIMUM (OFF) volume, or when an *ALLHLD<CR> Command is  
received. Note that to stop the ramp with this command before the minimum volume, one reference zone must be periodically  
polled with a *ZxxCONSR<CR> Command to determine when the desired volume point has been reached. Note that ramps in  
different zones may start at different levels and will all ramp at the same rate.
