T2SIR Quick Setup Guide for Use With NuVoNet

The T2SIR Dual Tuner is the perfect broadcast music solution for whole-home audio. The internal NuVoNet capability of the T2SIR allows it to easily communicate in real time with the NuVo Grand Concerto and Essentia E6G Control Pads. The following is a step-by-step guide for setting up and installing the T2SIR for use with the Grand Concerto and Essentia NuVoNet Suites.

Step 1: Upon unpacking your T2SIR Tuner, establish which audio inputs, 1-6, the T2's A and B audio outputs will represent. Plug

t h e T 2 i n t o a n AC p o we r s o u r c

Step 2: Attach the audio outputs A and B of the Tuner to the appropriate numbered inputs on the Grand Concerto or Essentia S ys t e m.

Step 3: Connect the CAT5 from the NuVoNet output on the rear panel of the Tuner to one of the Device inputs on the Grand Concerto EZ Port or the Essentia Allport. This will enable communication to the System's Control Pads. Note that a single CAT5 connection provides information from both Tuners A and B. A final CAT5 Connection should then be made to the NuVoNet CAT5 input on the back panel of the Grand Concerto or Essenita main amplifier for the NuVoNet RJ45 on the Grand Concerto EZ Port or the Essentia Allport. This completes the necessary connection for the NuVoNet communication.

Step 4: Complete the antenna connections on the back panel of the Tuner using standard RG6 coaxial cable. Quad shielded cable is recommended. When the antennas are connected, the Tuner will begin receiving a signal for both Tuners A and B.

Step 5: When the Tuner is plugged into an AC power source, the front panel display will move through a boot procedure. When this procedure is completed, a message, Uninitialized State Detected will appear.

Step 6: Following the prompt from the display, touch the OK button on the Tuner's front panel control. This will display a regional tuning selection: USA and Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Make the appropriate selection to match the Tuner's geographic location.

Step 7: Touching OK on the front panel controls will prompt a second screen on the display. This will read, Set Tuner A Mode, Standalone, Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, Source 4, Source 5, and Source 6. The top selection, Standalone, will be highlighted. This choice is used for any purpose that is not NuVoNet communication. Using the down arrow on the far right of the front panel controls, scroll to the desired source input number and touch OK to select. The display will automatically go to Tuner B setup. Repeat the above steps for setting Tuner B. If NuVoNet is not connected or all available sources have been assigned, than the source selections will be grayed out.

Step 8: When the desired source number is selected, the display will return to the first screen. Both outputs A and B will display the lowest FM band frequency by default. At this point, full tuning capability can be done from the Tuner's front panel or an addressed NuVo Control Pad.

Step 9: When both Tuner outputs are set, make sure the NuVoNet CAT5 connection between the Tuners back panel and the systems t e m E ZP o r t is c o m p l e t e d

The T2SIR Tuner is now ready for NuVoNet communication with either the Grand Concerto or Essentia E6G distributed audio systems teams.

Please see the complete installation guide for understanding the full use of your T2SIR Tuner.

AM/FM Antenna Installation (Fig. 3)

T h e T 2 S I R i s antenna. The antenna is designed to work actively with the Tuner using standard 75-ohm coaxial cable. Quad-shielded cable is recommended for this purpose. The advantage of the active antenna technology is the remote location capability, up to 200 feet from the T2SIR location, without the need for an external power supply. The termination at the antenna and Tuner is a standard F style connector. No software application or configuration is necessary beyond making the c ab l e c on n e c t

Note, for best results, the T2FAA antenna should be located as high as possible, either in an attic or outside. If you choose to use a third party antenna, other than the T2FAA, you must use the forced off setting from the menu to allow the signal to pass through to the T2SIR, (see section III. T2SIR Front Panel Menu, Antenna Power, pg. 14).

Connecting for NuVoNet Use (Fig. 4)

Once audio outputs A and B are set for NuVoNet, the T2SIR is ready to communicate in real time with the Grand Concerto or Essentia E6G audio distribution systems. To complete the connection, all that is necessary is a single CAT5 cable from the NuVoNet output on the T2SIR's back panel to one of the Device inputs on either the Grand Concerto EZ Port or the Essentia E6G Allport. Since the outputs of the Tuner must be set as a specific source number input for NuVoNet communication, the number of the Device connection used is irrelevant to the system's operation. Once the connection is complete, the Tuner is ready to fully communicate with NuVoNet.

IR Control of the T2SIR (Fig. 5)

The T2SIR can be used without NuVoNet as a standalone AM/FM/SIRIUS-Ready Tuner. The IR receiver is always active, however control through IR is typically done in Standalone mode, (see section I. Setting the Audio Outputs for NuVoNet or Standalone use, p g .7 ).

The second method for IR control is to attach an IR emitter over the IR receiver on the front panel, and the third method is to aim the remote c o n t r o l a t t h

RS232 Serial Control

The T2SIR features a bidirectional DB9 port for serial control. This enables the Tuner to be controlled via a third party home automation system and will in turn issue present state commands back to the controller. Potentially, all aspects of NuVoNet communication can be emulated using the serial control capability. The necessary protocol for serial use can be downloaded from the NuVo website ProZone at

II. T2SIR Use with SIRIUS Radio

The SIRIUS 8-Pin Connector (Fig. 6)

Each Tuner, A and B, has a SIRIUS-Ready connector on its back panel. This connector is ready to receive the Tuner signal and related metadata from a SIRIUS receiver. Any SIRIUS receiver equipped with the SIRIUS connector will communicate with the T2SIR's input. The cable necessary for this connection is typically supplied with the SIRIUS receiver. Once the 8-pin connection is made from the SIRIUS receiver to the T2SIR, SIRIUS will be recognized as a radio band for either Tuner A or B.

SIRIUS Modules and Subscription (Fig. 7)

There is not a specific SIRIUS receiver that must be used in conjunction with the T2SIR. Several are on the market, and the only pre-requisite is that the receiver used has the 8-pin SIRIUS-Ready connector. NuVo does have the NV-SCH1 home receiver module as a convenient, inexpensive solution for the T2SIR. Each SIRIUS Tuner has an ID associated with it. This number is typically found printed on the SIRIUS Tuner or by going to the receiver must be activated using its ID number.

Installing the SIRIUS Antenna (Fig. 8)

There are several versions of SIRIUS antennas on the market. The antennas best suited for use with the T2SIR are designed for outside placement, such as the NV-SCH-ANT also available from Directed Electronics as model 14245. An antenna with an F connector designed for use with coaxial cable is recommended. Often it is necessary for the antenna to have an unimpeded view of the sky to receive a signal. Figure 8 shows this type of application with the NV-SCH-ANT antenna with its included signal splitter for use with two SIRIUS receivers. The T2SIR is shipped with two NV-T2FSD AM/FM/Satellite Diplexers. This allows the AM/FM and SIRIUS signals to be combined and brought to the back of the Tuner. There, the second NV-T2FSD can be used to split the signal a second time. This allows the AM/FM signal to come into the antenna input on the T2SIR back panel and the SIRIUS signal is then routed to the SIRIUS receiver or receivers, depending on the application. It is not necessary to place the AM/FM and SIRIUS antennas in t h e s a m el o c a

It is important to note that Directed Electronics has an outdoor antenna, model 14240, that has a 50 ohm connection intended for RG58 cable. This model is not recommended for use with the NV-T2SIR Tuner.

III. T2SIR Front Panel Menu (Fig. 9)

The Menu button on the front panel of the T2SIR allows access to the tuning and functionality of both Tuners A and B. The menu selections are the same for both, and touching the A/B button moves the highlight between the two Tuner outputs.

Bands (Fig. 10)

The Bands menu is a simple toggle through the available broadcast bands of each Tuner. SIRIUS is only present if a SIRIUS receiver has been plugged into either Tuner A or B. The currently selected band will be displayed with a check mark.

Automatic, Forced ON a n d Forced OFF.

Automatic is the default and allows the T2SIR to recognize a present SIRIUS receiver. In Automatic the T2SIR lets the attached SIRIUS receiver supply the 5 volts to both the SIRIUS and T2FAA antennas. In instances where you intend on using a third party FM antenna, the Forced OFF choice is necessary to block DC voltage needed for AM reception. Forced ON supplies DC voltage for AM reception in the presence of a SIRIUS receiver which is not sharing an antenna cable with the NV-T2FAA a n te n n a .

Diagnostics (Fig. 21): Signal strength for AM, FM and SIRIUS reception and the current firmware version number are provided in the Diagnostics menu.

Version: This displays the T2SIR's current firmware version. Upgraded versions are posted on the NuVo website ProZone and are loaded onto the Tuner by downloading a new configuration from the Tuner Configurator software through the RS232 port.

AM/FM Signal Strength (Fig. 22): T h i s

displays two levels for Tuners A and B. RSSI, received signal strength indicator, is a measurement in dBuV, and SNR, signal to n o i s e i s m

SIRIUS Signal Strength (Fig. 23): T h separate measurements are provided in levels 1-4, None, Weak, Good, or Strong. The measurements are SAT (satellite), TERR (terrestrial), and COMBINED.

Audio Test: The test tone is intended to verify an audio signal from an attached SIRIUS receiver. The tone will continue until you tune up or down, or c h a n g e b

Reset Memory (Fig. 24): This should be used only when it is advantageous to remove all settings from the Tuner. Choosing yes to reset memory returns the T2SIR to its factory default.

V. Using the NuVo Tuner Configurator Software

The Configurator Software is tabbed, wizard style software that easily moves you through the T2SIR setup and implementation as a NuVoNet source or as a standalone source controllable by IR or Serially. Within the Configurator you can setup the source address and presets for an installation and download the information to the T2SIR's flash memory prior to its installation. Its non-volatile memory will retain the configuration indefinitely while the Tuner is unplugged.

1.0 Start (Fig. 34)

The start tab allows you to load an existing configuration, create a new one, or retrieve and edit a configuration from the Tuner. When the computer is connected to the Tuner via its RS232 port, you can click on Retrieve Configuration from Tuner and make any necessary edits. When the edited version is downloaded to the Tuner, the previous configuration will be overwritten.

To start a new configuration or open an existing configuration, click on the Load Existing or Create New Configuration button. The File Name field allows you to give a new configuration a new name.

4.2 Tuning Parameters (Fig. 47): This section determines how the NV-T2SIR tunes up and down. Seek/Scan Levels for each band, FM, AM, and Weatherband sets the signal strength parameter for searching stations. Level 0 (Low), causes the Tuner to stop at any frequency with a very low signal, and Level 4 (High), stops only when a very strong signal is detected. The factory default is Level 2 (Medium), which searches for a moderate signal. This setting changes the necessary signal threshold, which is the minimum signal level
