InstallingtheGrandConcertoSysteminYourHome
I. CAT5Termination
TheGrandConcertoSystemusesCAT5cableforControlPadcontrolandeithertwoorfour-conductor16-gaugespeakerwire.All
thewireis “homerun” fromeachzonetothelocationoftheGrandConcertoamplifierandAudioSourceequipment.
CompleteCAT5CrimpingInstructions
TheNuVoaudiosystemsrequireCAT5,unshielded,twisted
pair(UTP)forcommunicationbetweentheControlPadsand
themainamplifierunit.Eachendofthewireisterminated
withanRJ45connector.
TheGrandConcertoSystemcanaccommodate2,000total
feetofCAT5cable.Forthemostreliableoperation,itisbest
thatnosinglerunofCAT5exceeds250feet.
ThecorrectwiringschemefortheCAT5cableisstandard
EIA/TIA568A.ProperlyterminatingtheCAT5cableiscrucial
fortheoperationofthesystem.Itisveryimportanttousea
goodqualitycrimptool,andtesteachendtoendrunwitha
CAT5wiretestertoinsurethatyoursystemoperates
flawlessly,Fig.1.
1.Stripa2to3inchportionoftheinsulation,exposingthe
4twistedpairs.
2.Untwistthewiresandfanthemoutindividually.Arrange
thewiresintothecorrectcolorschemeasshowninFig.1.
3.Flattenthewiresintheircorrectorderandtrimthem
evenlyacrossthetop.Mostcrimptoolshaveawire
trimmerbuilt-in.Itisbesttotrimthewirestoabout½”
inlength.
4.Whileholdingthewiresflatbetweenyourthumband
forefinger,insertthewiresintotheRj45connectorso
eachisinitsownslot.PushthewireintotheRJ45soall8
conductorstouchtheendoftheconnector.Theinsulation
jacketshouldextendbeyondthecrimppointoftheRJ45.
5.InserttheRJ45intothecrimptoolreceptacleandsqueeze
thetoolfirmly.Notethataratchettypetoolshould
tightendownuntilitnolongerclicks.
6.TheRJ45shouldbefirmlycrimpedtotheCAT5insulation.
Itisnecessarythatthecolorschemeberepeated
identicallyoneachendofthewire.
7.TesteachterminationwithaCAT5Testerbefore
completingtheinstallation.
