II.Installing the Essentia 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 but- ton on the front panel should be depressed before pro- ceeding with the rest of the installation. This activates the internal protective circuitry of the Essentia System.

III.Installing the NV-E6DEZP EZ Port (Fig. 2)

The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the Cat-5 wires from the keypads in the sys- tem. 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 construc-

tion bracket with an open back. These are often Fig. 2 referred to as "mud rings". Simply plug the terminated

Cat-5 wires into any of the sixteen available jacks on the back of the EZ Port. The order in which the individ- ual Cat-5 wires is plugged in 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.
