Nuvo NV-WCP — Wireless Control Pad Quick Start Guide

Quick start guide for initial setup of the Nuvo Wireless Control Pad (NV-WCP) and its Coordinator, used to add wireless zone control to a NuVo multi-room audio system.

1. Configure a Zone for the Wireless Control Pad

Using the Configurator software, assign each Wireless Control Pad a zone that is not shared with a speaker zone (e.g. Zones 17–20, or Zone 9 and above in an 8-zone system). Check "Using NV-WCP Wireless Control Pad" on the System Settings tab, then download the configuration to your system.

Note: The WCP requires E6G/I8G Configurator version 2.52 or higher.

2. Place the Coordinator

For best performance, mount the Coordinator vertically on a wall, away from metal surfaces that could interfere with its communication. It's typically placed alongside the NuVo System and source equipment, though a central home location may perform better in some cases. The CAT5 connection to the NuVo System's EZ Port or Allport can be extended up to 150 feet.

3. Install the Coordinator

1. Plug the Coordinator into the NuVo System's EZ Port or Allport via CAT5 cable (this supplies its power).
2. Set the Coordinator's rotary switch between 1 and 4.
3. Press and hold SETUP until the green LED flashes rapidly (initial installation only — skip this step when adding additional WCPs to an existing system).

4. Power On the Wireless Control Pad

Connect the battery to power on the WCP. The initial display asks to "Enable" or "Disable" the Zone button:

• Enable — allows the WCP to control any zone in the system
• Disable — ties the WCP to single-zone control

If this prompt doesn't appear, restore factory defaults on the WCP first.

5–6. Pair with the Coordinator

1. After the zone selection, the WCP displays "Searching for Coordinator."
2. Once found, "Press SETUP Button on coordinator...Then Press OK" appears. Press SETUP on the Coordinator, then OK on the WCP.
3. When paired, a list of available zones appears — select the zone reserved for this WCP.

At this point, the Wireless Control Pad is fully functional and able to control any zone in the NuVo System.
