Date/Time: The Essentia has an internal clock that allows each Control Pad to display the current time. Within this menu you can easily set Year, Month, Day, Hour, and Minute.

24 Hour Time Display: This is a simple on/off. When this menu item is turned on, the clock display on the Control Pads switches to 24 hour display.

Power Off Mode: This refers to three choices for the way in which each zone turns on and off. They involve a single tap of the power button and a hold function, Fig. 49 .

Mute/Off/ w/ Menu is the first choice. This selection means that a tap of the power button mutes the zone, but does not turn it off. The hold function brings up a second menu that requests All Off, yes or no. No turns off just that zone, yes turns off all zones.

Off/All-Off Menu: In this mode, a tap of the power button turns the zone off and a second menu appears that gives to choice to turn off that zones group (if it is assigned to a source group) or to turn all zones off. Off/All-Off:The is a tap of the power button to turn the zone off and a hold of the power button to turn all zones off.

External Mute/Page: The EXT. MUTE input on the back panel of the Essentia has a dual function. In its default setting, it is designed for the Mute Interface, NV-MI1 (see NV-MI1 Mute Interface Adaptor page, 31). It can also be configured for use with a paging phone system to enable whole-house paging. This requires a phone system that provides an audio output for paging that is plugged into source input 6 on the Essentia (note that this feature eliminates the use of Source 6 as an audio source for the system). To use the Page function, you must select Paging Mode. There are two types of voltage triggers associated with the Page function. If the phone system you are using sends a voltage to trigger paging, selecting Paging Mode sets the mute input to react and mute all zones. If it triggers by creating a closure (dropping down to 0 voltage), you need to select Active Low (Closed).

Serial Delay: This function is only used in conjunction with third party home automation systems. This function sets a delay in milliseconds between each of the function commands being streamed through the Essentia RS232 port. This allows a slower home automation processor to buffer multiple commands from the Essentia System.

Sources: This Allows unused source inputs to be turned off so they do not show up when you scroll through the sources at the Control Pads.

Reset System: This is a shortcut for resetting the zone addresses assigned to each Control Pad. Within the menu selection, Yes restores all Control Pads plugged into the system to the factory default.
