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	Fig. 8
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 wall.
