Renovia Quick Start Guide

1. Test site with the SAT tool.

a. Determine desired location for Renovia Hub.
b. Connect filters to known Renovia enemies. (I.E. surge strips, cell phone chargers etc. Do not place filters on
the SAT! See page 11)
c. Test desired Zone locations with SAT. (See pages 10-13)
d. Use zones that test marginal or preferably use only good” locations!
e. If all zones test marginal or less, try testing a different hub location, or look for electronics plugged into the same
outlet or adjacent outlets to the hub. These devices should be filtered.

2. Install Renovia Source Hub and Source devices.

a. Install the NV-RVM Renovia Source Hub in the pre-tested outlet; plug the power cable in to accomplish this. (Note: the
hub cannot be plugged into a surge strip as it interferes with Renovia, Renovia has built-in surge suppression)
b. Install all source components using the appropriate inputs on the Source Hub. (See pages 14-16)

3. Program Renovia Hub.

a. Program the Renovia Source Hub using the Renovia configuration software and a USB cable. (See pages 20-31)
b. Source devices programmed into the Source Hub will not appear on the system Control Pads until the source device
audio connection has been plugged in.

4. Install speakers and control options.

a. Run speaker wire and Cat5 to double gang wall receptacle located next to a tested electrical outlet.
b. CAT5 is not required if you are using a wireless control pad or a third party control option.
c. A single Zone amp can power 2 pairs of 8-ohm speakers. For this feature you must program the zone to be 4 ohm
stable. (See page 28- 29)

5. Install the Renovia NV-RVZA50PS power supplies and NV-RVZA50 zone amplifiers.

a. Connect the NV-RVZA50PS to the tested outlet. A certified electrician will be required to perform this task. A dual
gang cutout should be made in the same stud space as the zones associated outlet. A combination high/low voltage
box will also be required, and installed into the cutout. (See page 17)
b. Pull the CAT5 and speaker wire out of the low voltage portion of the combination box and connect them to the NV-
RVZA50 zone amp. (See page 18)
c. Install the NV-RVZA50 zone amp over the installed power supply and secure it with the four provided installation
screws.
d. Select the appropriate zone number on the rotary switch for the zone. (See page 18)

6. Install the Renovia NV-RVZAF50S Freestanding Zone Amplifiers.

a. Plug the NVRVZAF50S into its desired outlet and look for the Power LED.
b. Pull the CAT5 and speaker wire to the amplifier location and make the appropriate terminations. (See page 19)
d. Select the appropriate zone number on the rotary switch for the zone. (See page 19)
