II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (fig. 2)

Fig. 2

All the NuVo systems operate across a “homerun”-wiring scheme using Cat-5 for the zone keypad control communication, and a separate run of speaker wire for each zone from the speaker outputs to the zone speakers. We suggest 16-gage 2- or 4-conductor speaker wires.

The speaker wire termination is done using a modular “Euro” connector. Each conductor is screwed down to the connector block and plugged into the appropriate speaker output on the back of the amplifier. The proper termination is Left channel: – and +; Right channel: – and +.

III. Installing the Grand Concerto 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.

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 Grand Concerto System.

IV. Installing the NV-I8GEZP EZ Port (fig.3)

The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the Cat-5 wires from the keypads in the system. The location of the EZ Port should be determined by the location of the Grand Concerto amplifier. It is best to place in a wall behind the amplifier that would be easily accessible if necessary.

The EZ Port fits easily in any dual-gang-size, low-voltage ring with an open back. These are often referred to as “mud rings.” Simply plug the terminated Cat-5 wires into any of the 20 available jacks on the back of the EZ Port. The order in which the individual Cat-5 wires are plugged in is not important, although it is strongly recommended that you label the Cat-5 with the appropriate zone number for future reference.

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.
