6.2 External Mute: Paging Trigger (Fig. 28)
The Essentia System has a built-in solution for whole-house
paging typically through a phone system. The Paging Trigger
setting causes the system to mute across all the zones, and
in turn, amplifies the page across all zones. Each Zone Edit
utility in the Configurator Software or the menu at each
Control Pad offers the capability of setting the page volume
in each zone.

6.3 24 Hour Time Display and Power Off Mode
24 Hour Time Display:
Power Off Mode:
Tap Mute/Hold for Zone-Off w/ All-Off Menu:
Time display is not functional on the
Essentia model. This will appear grayed out when the
Configurator software is in
“
NV-E6G Mode
”
The Essentia Configurator allows the option
for three power off modes.
This mode
causes a temporary zone mute when the Control Pad power
button is tapped. When it is held for three seconds, a menu
will appear with the option to turn the zone off or turn all the
zones off.
Tap Zone-Off/Hold for Group/All-Off Menu:
Tap Zone-Off/Hold for All-Off (no menu):
6.4 Serial Delay (Fig. 29)
In this mode a
single tap of the power button turns the zone off and holding
the power button causes a second menu that gives the
option to turn off that zone
’
s group or turn all the zones off.
This is the default
choice. In this mode, a tap turns the zone off and holding the
power button turns all the zones off.
This drop down menu provides a choice of delays measured
in milliseconds. This is only necessary when you are using
the RS232 communication for third party control of the
Essentia System. This utility slows the rate at which
information is delivered to the home automation system
from the Essentia. This is sometimes necessary to allow the
home automation
’
s processor time to buffer the incoming
information.

6.5 Security Code (Fig. 30)
A feature with the zone setup of the Essentia System is
the ability to lock the zone. This can be done as a default
that will require a four-digit security code to unlock the
zone Control Pad when the zone is turned on, or it can be
done as a temporary setting from the Control Pad menu to
lock the zone on its current listening choice. In either
scenario, the security code must be set to unlock the
zone. The security code can be any four digits or left at
the default 5555.
