Installing the Simplese System in Your Home  
I. Prewire  
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.  
Top view with  
tab down.  
The Simplese System can accommodate 2000 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  
Pair 2  
Pair 1  
Pair 3  
Pair 4  
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 testing each end to  
end run with a CAT5 wire tester will insure that your  
system operates flawlessly, fig.1.  
Wires insert from  
this end.

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 4  
Step 2  
Step 5  
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. Speaker Wire Termination  
It is important to keep the proper orientation of  
positive and negative signal for each speaker  
connection. Typically, two-conductor speaker wire uses  
red to denote positive and black to denote negative.  
Some types of wire indicate positive with a dark line  
running through the insulation. Four-conductor wire  
can also be used. This has four separate wires in one  
outer jacket, making it possible to run a single speaker  
wire to a zone for its pair of speakers. This type of wire  
typically uses red and black for one speaker and white  
as positive and green as negative for the second  
speaker.  
Fig. 2  
Note: The Simplese System is designed to handle one  
pair of 8-ohm speakers per zone. Using more than one  
pair of speakers per zone could cause damage to the  
amplifier output.  
III. Allport Termination and Installation  
Both the speaker wire and CAT5 cables for each zone  
terminate into the back side of the Allport. The order of  
CAT5 plug-ins is irrelevant to the operation of the  
system, but it is recommended that you label the  
individual CAT5 cables for future reference. Follow the  
zone and polarity labeling for the speaker wire  
termination, fig. 2.  
The final connection from the Allport is made with the  
Allport cable supplied with the Simplese System, fig. 3.

The Simplese System ships with four IR emitters for  
transferring IR data from the keypad receivers  
(located under the volume button) to the IR receiver  
on each piece of source equipment. There are two  
separate IR output sections on the back panel. The  
38Khz outputs are used for most audio sources. The  
exception to this is cable and satellite boxes, which  
operate at a higher IR carrier frequency closer to  
56Khz. A second source one and two 56Khz output is  
available for these devices. It is important that the  
output being used for each source matches the  
source input number. The outputs work individually  
with each source to allow independent source  
control. Simply plug the emitter into the appropriate  
IR output on the back of the Simplese amplifier and  
attach the flasher end over the IR receiver of the  
source equipment, fig. 5.

VI. Keypad and Zone Setup  
Fig. 6  
Each keypad requires a specific zone setting to  
establish the keypad's location. This setting is made  
on the back of the keypad using an eight-position  
rotary switch. To set the switch, place a small slot-  
head screwdriver in the slot in the switch and turn it  
clockwise to the appropriate zone number 1-4, fig.  
6. The remaining switch positions, 5-8, allow for an  
additional keypad in each zone. Position 5  
corresponds to zone 1, 6 to zone 2, 7 to zone 3, and 8  
to zone 4. The additional letters do not apply to  
Simplese. Note that the Allport only has four RJ45  
jacks, so additional keypads require the use of a  
CAT5 splitter.

Source grouping is a feature that allows multiple zones  
in an open living space to always share the same source  
selection but still retain individual volume and on/off  
control. This is achieved by pressing Mute and Source 3.  
Volume Up enables the group function, and Volume  
Down disables the group function and causes the  
keypad to operate independently of all other groups,

Volume Reset  
The Simplese System keypads automatically reset the  
listening volume to a low level when all zones have been  
turned off and a zone is turned on again. If a zone is  
turned off and turned back on before all the zones are  
turned off, it will return at the previous volume level.

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.  
To place a keypad in Master Mode function, simply press the  
Mute and Source 4 buttons simultaneously. This will cause the  
volume indicator LED for that zone’s keypad to flash  
continuously. All other zones will then turn on to the same  
relative volume level and increase or decrease with the volume  
adjustment on the master keypad.

VII. 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. The  
examples shown in this manual refer specifically to the P2100.  
The variable lineout is intended for use in a zone where you want the Simplese keypads to control the volume output of the  
external amplifier, fig. 9.

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.  
All three versions, zone 4 amplified output, variable lineout, and fixed lineout can be used simultaneously.

VIII. Using the Link Jack to Create Eight Zones  
Two separate Simplese Systems can be made to react as one using the back-panel 3.5mm connection labeled LINK. This requires  
the use of “Y” cables to link the source inputs and IR outputs. A single stereo mini-patch cable is then plugged into the LINK jack  
on both Simplese amplifiers. This links the All Off command so when it is initiated at any of the zone keypads, all eight zones will  
turn off, fig. 11

X. The LSA40 Local Source Amplifier  
The LSA40 is highly versatile , 40 watt stereo amplifier designed to be installed in a single gang low voltage ring. An audio  
sensing feature allows the 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.

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 VI, Installing the Simplese  
keypads, page 10).  
The keypad or keypads will not change  
source independently. They all change  
source at the same time.  
Source Grouping is turned on.  
Each keypad has the ability to be set as a  
source group or remain independent. Use  
the Mute button and the Source 3 button  
to turn the Source Group feature on and  
off (see Section VI, Source Grouping,  
page 11).  
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 VI, Zone EQ and Source Grouping,  
page 11).  
With the keypads plugged in, the POWER  
LED on the front of the amplifier will not  
turn on.  
Make sure that the amplifier is plugged  
into a reliable power source. Test that the  
POWER LED on the amplifier turns on  
when the Allport Cable is unplugged and  
plugged in again. Next, unplug all the  
CAT5 cables from the Allport and plug  
them back in one at a time until the bad  
cable(s) is discovered.

Troubleshooting  
Remedy  
Symptom  
Probable Cause  
The IR emitters remain constantly lit.  
IR interference.  
This is commonly caused by a security  
motion detector aimed at the keypad’s  
IR receiver. If possible, redirect the  
motion detector. Try to keep the keypad  
from strong direct sunlight. This can  
also cause interference. This can also be  
caused by an incorrect wire pinout at the  
CAT5 RJ45 termination. Check using a  
CAT5 tester and re-terminate if  
necessary.  
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 Simplese 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 2-4.  
External amplifier (NuVo P2100) or other  
model audio output creates a hum.  
Ground loop.  
Unplug the audio input to the amplifier  
to see if the hum disappears. If so,  
install a ground loop isolator audio  
cable.
