II. Terminating Speaker Wire
Be careful not to allow the exposed wire from each conductor to
touch the adjacent conductor. This will short the speaker input.
Each speaker output is designed for two 8-Ohm speakers.
Overloading the amplifier could cause it to overheat and do
damage to the output.
The speaker wire for each zone is terminated in a standard Euro-
style connector that plugs into each zone specific amplified
output. The common speaker termination scheme is Left - Left +,
Right - Right +. Either two or four-conductor 16-guage wire is
recommended. Larger than 14-guage wire will not fit into the
euro connector.
To terminate the speaker wire, strip back the outer jacket and
expose the inner conductors. Strip approximately 1/4” (4 mm)
of the insulation from the inner conductors exposing the copper
wire. Place the exposed wire in the euro connector and tighten
the screw down terminals, fig. 2.
II. Installing the Essentia Amplifier
The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button on the
front panel should be depressed before proceeding with the rest of
the installation.
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.
This activates the internal protective circuitry of
the Essentia System.
III. Installing the NV-E6DEZP EZ Port
The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the
CAT5 wires from the keypads in the system. 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 construction bracket
with an open back. These are often referred to as “mud rings”.
Simply plug the terminated CAT5 wires into any of the sixteen
available jacks on the back of the EZ Port, Fig. 3. The order in
which the individual CAT5 wires are plugged is in not important,
although it is strongly recommended that you label the CAT5 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.
