SOURCE LINK Source 1 Tuner 1 Fig 6 dise n NUVO VII Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones Six additional listening zones can be added to the Essentia System using the Essentia Expander package The expansion is easily done using the Source Link and Digital Link multi pin outputs on the Essentia main amplifier Fig 7 The necessary cables for this are supplied with the Expander package No other connections are necessary with the exception of the AC power cord and the additional speaker terminations The additional CAT5 wires for the zones 7 12 plug into the EZ Port VIII Installing the Essentia Keypads You are now ready to install the keypads and complete the Essentia installation This is easily done using a rotary switch located on the back of the keypad to set a specific zone address for each keypad Fig 8 The switch requires the use of a small flat screwdriver and is set by turning the arrow insert on the switch to the appropriate zone number Zones 1 12 are set by using switch positions 1 C note that zones 10 11 and 12 are denoted by A B and C respectively Switch positions D E F and 0 are for additional keypads in zones 1 4 It is important to note that the keypads will not function properly unless each has its own unique zone address Once each keypad s zone address is set the CAT5 can be plugged in and the keypad installed in the wal2. 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 20 Remedy Check that you are using the 568A or B wiring standard see section Crimping CATS wire The best way to know is to use a CATS tester 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 fuse is accessed at the back of the amplifier where the AC cord plugs in It requires a 4 amp time delay fuse 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 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 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 CATS cables from the EZ Port and plug them back in one at a time until the bad cable s is discovered Reposition the LED end of the emitter on the face of the source equipment so it
