Terminating the Speaker Wire (Fig. 2)All the NuVo systems operate across a “homerun” wiringscheme using CAT5 for the zone Control Pad controlcommunication, and a separate run of speaker wire for eachzone from the speaker outputs to the zone speakers. Wesuggest 16 AWG 2 or 4-conductor speaker wires.The speaker wire termination is done using a modular “Euro”connector. Each conductor is screwed down to the connectorblock and plugged into the appropriate speaker output onthe back of the amplifier. The proper termination is Leftchannel: – and +; Right channel: – and +.Fig. 2III. Installing the Grand Concerto AmplifierSystem setup works best when the amplifier is placed in thesame location as the audio source equipment. This istypically in an audio rack, entertainment center, or a closetdedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment.The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button onthe front panel should be engaged before proceeding withthe rest of the installation. This activates the internalprotective 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 allthe CAT5 wires from the keypads in the system. The locationof the EZ Port should be determined by the location of theGrand Concerto amplifier. It is best to place in a wall behindthe amplifier that would be easily accessible if necessary.The EZ Port fits easily in most dual-gang size, low-voltagering with an open back. These are often referred to as “mudrings”. Simply plug the terminated CAT5 wires into any ofthe 20 available jacks on the back of the EZ Port. The order inwhich the individual CAT5 wires are plugged in is notimportant, although it is strongly recommended that youlabel the CAT5 with the appropriate zone number for futurereference.Once you have plugged the CAT5 wires into the EZ Port, screwthe EZ port into its construction bracket using the suppliedmounting screws.Fig. 3
