Quick Start Guide for initial Wireless Control Pad Setup
1. Using the Configurator software, assign a zone for each of the Wireless Control Pads
being used. This should be a zone that is not assigned to a zone intended for use with
speakers. For instance, Zones 17-20, or Zone 9 and above in an 8 zone system. Check
the Using NV-WCP Wireless Control Pad box on the “System Settings” tab. Download
the configuration to your system. Note that the WCP requires the E6G and I8G
Configurator version 2.52 or higher.
2. Determine the best location for the Coordinator. For best performance it should be
placed vertically on a wall. Avoid metal surfaces that could interfere with the
Coordinator's communication. Typically, the Coordinator is placed in the same location
as the NuVo System and the related source equipment. However, in some instances it
may perform better if it is placed in a central location in the home. The CAT5
connection to the NuVo System’s EZ Port or Allport can extended up to 150 feet.
3. Install the Coordinator by plugging it into the NuVo System EZ Port or Allport via a
CAT5 cable. The NuVo System should be plugged in and powered on. This will supply
power to the Coordinator. Make sure the rotary switch on the coordinator is set
between 1 and 4. Press and hold the SETUP button until the green LED flashes rapidly.
The press and hold function is only necessary for initial installation. This step is
bypassed if you are adding additional Wireless Control Pads to the system.
4. Once the Coordinator is installed and the NuVo System is configured, power on the
Wireless Control Pad by connecting the battery. The initial display will ask you to
“Enable” or “Disable” the Zone button. If it does not ask this, Restore Factory Defaults
on the WCP, see Section V. Restore Factory Defaults, pg. 17. Choose “Enable” to allow
the Wireless Control Pad to control any zone within the system. Choosing “Disable”
will tie the WCP to single zone control.
