T2FAM-EX Quick Setup Guide for Use With NuVoNet  
The T2FAM-EX Dual Tuner is the perfect broadcast music solution for whole-home audio. The internal NuVoNet capability of the  
T2FAM-EX 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 T2FAM-EX for use with the Grand Concerto and Essentia NuVoNet Suites.  
Step 1: Upon unpacking your T2FAM-EX Tuner, establish what audio inputs, 1-6, the T2’s A and B audio outputs will represent. Plug  
the T2 into an AC power source.  
Step 2: Attach the audio outputs A and B of the Tuner to the appropriate numbered inputs on the Grand Concerto or Essentia  
System.  
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 connection on the back panel of the Tuner using standard RG6 coaxial cable. Quad shielded cable is  
recommended. When the antenna is 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 complete 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 to 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 steps for setting Tuner A. If NuVoNet is not connected or all available sources have been assigned, then 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 AM 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 Tuner s back panel and the  
system EZ Port is complete.  
The T2FAM-EX Tuner is now ready for NuVoNet communication with either the Grand Concerto or Essentia E6G distributed audio  
systems.  
Please see the complete installation guide for understanding the full use of your T2FAM-EX Tuner.

When the Tuner’s outputs are set, they will return to AM 530, or  
the minimum AM band setting for the selected regional tuning  
parameters. At this point the T2FAM-EX is ready for either  
NuVoNet communication or standalone use, depending on the  
setting made for both outputs.

AM/FM Antenna Installation (Fig. 3)  
The T2FAM-EX is shipped with the NV-T2FAA active AM/FM  
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 T2FAM-EX 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  
cable connection at each end.  
The NuVo active  
antenna can be located up  
to 200 feet from the  
T2FAM-EX Tuner.

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 T2FAM-EX, (see Section II. T2FAM-EX Front Panel  
Menu, Antenna Power, pg. 11).  
Connecting for NuVoNet Use (Fig. 4)  
Once audio outputs A and B are set for NuVoNet, the T2FAM-EX  
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 T2FAM-EX’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.

Once the audio outputs are set at Standalone, the T2FAM-EX  
offers three methods for IR control. One is to take the IR  
output of your control device using a mono 3.5mm patch cable  
into the Direct IR input on the back panel of the T2FAM-EX.  
Tuners A and B feature discrete commands, allowing both  
tuners to be controlled independently from one input. 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 control at the IR receiver located on the front  
panel.

source number or standalone can be changed from the  
initial power on setting. Used NuVoNet sources will be  
grayed out.  
Tuning: There are four sub-menus that set default  
tuning parameters for the T2FAM-EX:  
Fine Tuning: This reduces the frequency step  
to 50 kHz in FM and 1 kHz in AM. With today’s  
digital tuners this feature is rarely used.  
Regional Setup: Regional Setup sets the  
default tuning standard for four regions of  
the world. The choices are US/Canada,  
Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.  
Custom is grayed out. This must be set using  
the Configurator Software discussed later in  
this manual.  
Enabled Bands: Broadcast bands associated with each  
tuner can be turned off here. This is useful especially  
for AM where an acceptable AM signal is not possible.

AM reception. 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. This is a  
nice feature that eliminates the need for an  
external DC blocker. Forced ON provides

IV. Using the Tuner Configurator Software  
The Configurator Software is tabbed, wizard style software that  
easily moves you through the T2FAM-EX setup and  
implementation as a NuVoNet source or as a standalone source  
controllable by IR or Serially. Within the Configurator you can  
set up the source address and presets for an installation and  
download the information to the T2FAM-EX’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. 24)  
The start tab allows you to load an existing configuration or  
create a new one. You can also retrieve and edit a configuration  
from an existing 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.  
2.1 NuVoNet Operating Mode (Fig. 26): This drop down menu  
allows you to select between Stand Alone or as a NuVoNet  
Source 1- 6 . If you are using the Tuner as NuVoNet source  
with a NuVo System, you must select a unique, dedicated  
source input for each Tuner (A and B) being configured.  
Stand Alone will set the output for any use other than  
NuVoNet. Making the appropriate NuVoNet Source selection  
properly sets the Tuner’s outputs for full communication when  
the configuration is downloaded to the Tuner.  
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.  
Fig. 24  
Fig. 26  
2.0 Config (Fig. 25)  
The Config tab is for the initial setup, which determines basic  
tuner operation. Within the Config Tab the first step is to  
establish the correct tuner model being configured. Make that  
model choice from the uner Model menu.

2.2 Regional Setup (Fig. 27): Depending on your geographic  
location, the tuner needs to be set for the proper tuning  
standard. The choices are USA & Canada, Western Europe,  
Australia, and New Zealand. Countries outside these  
geographic locations need the advanced custom setting (see  
Section IV. Advanced Settings: 4.1 Custom Regional Setup,  
pg.18).  
2.4 Auto-On (Fig. 29): In the event of loss of power, or if the  
Tuner is unplugged, the tuners can be set with this check box  
to automatically turn on when power is restored. Note that this  
feature is only necessary for non-NuVoNet use, since NuVoNet  
causes the tuners to turn on when a zone within the NuVo  
System is turned on. The tuners will turn off when all NuVo  
System zones are turned off.  
Fig. 27  
Fig. 29  
2.5 Disable Bands (Fig. 30): These check boxes allow you to  
disable the AM or FM bands. This is useful for areas where  
reliable reception is not possible.  
2.3 Brightness (Fig. 28): This sets the intensity of the display  
for the tuner. The factory default is the maximum level, 8.  
Fig. 28  
Reset Config: This button will reset all of the configuration  
information to the original factory default settings.

3.2 Add Bank (Fig. 32): If you want to add a bank of 20 presets,  
the Add Bank button will bring up a window that allows you  
to name the bank and automatically add it to the Tuner’s  
presets.  
The Tuner Configurator software is an important setup tool for  
easily setting tuner presets and loading them on the NV-  
T2FAM-EX non-volitile memory prior to the installation.  
NuVoNet will automatically read the presets and make them  
available on the Control Pads.  
Fig. 32  
3.1 Preset Information (Fig. 31): This section provides a display  
name, band and tuning frequency for each preset. As the  
preset information fields are populated, the same information  
will automatically fill the highlighted fields to the left. Each of  
the 5 available banks of presets will hold 20 separate AM or FM  
channel selections. The default setting will show two available  
banks of 20 with the default names, My Presets 1 and My  
Presets 2 .  
When the AM or FM bands are selected and a station name is  
typed into the Name field, the Frequency dialer will  
become active. As you scroll up and down the frequency list,  
the highlighted Frequency column to the left will  
automatically populate.  
3.3 Rename Bank (Fig. 33): This button allows you to give a  
bank of presets a customized name.  
Favorite: This check box will add any highlighted preset to the  
Favorites menu on the Control Pads. Up to 20 can be selected  
for each tuner band. When a preset is selected, it will appear in  
the far right column labeled Favorites . Any preset can be  
added or removed from the list by highlighting the preset and  
selecting or deselecting the Favorite box.

of the first bank, can be erased one bank at a time. You cannot  
erase the first bank of 20 presets.  
4.1 Custom Regional Setup (Fig. 36): Some countries operate  
at a tuning standard outside the four preset regions. The  
Custom setting allows specific parameters to be set. One  
determining factor for tuning is the Pre-emphasis . The two  
choices for this are 50 S (microseconds) and 75 S. The  
custom setting also allows for specific setting of the minimum  
and maximum tuning capability and the individual tuning  
steps for FM and AM.

Advanced Settings  
The Tuner software contains several specialized settings for  
more advanced setup. Clicking on view and selecting  
Advanced will expand the tabs as discussed in the next  
section to allow access to this functionality.  
4.2 Tuning Parameters (Fig. 37): This section determines how  
the NV-T2FAM-EX tunes up and down. Seek/Scan Levels for  
each band, FM and AM, set 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 required for the Tuner to recognize it  
and lock onto the frequency.  
4.0 Advanced Config (Fig. 35)  
The Tuner software allows for more advanced settings that, if  
necessary, allow you to tweak the Tuner’s operation. The  
process for beginning a new configuration or editing an  
existing one does not change from the standard mode.

4.3 Fine Tuning: When selected, Fine Tuning changes the  
tuning standard for FM from the default .10 MHz tuning to .05  
MHz step tuning. AM will tune by single kHz increments, rather  
than the default 10 kHz for USA and Canada, and 9 kHz for  
Europe. Smaller tuning steps allow access to all station  
frequencies.  
4.4 Antenna Power (Fig. 38): This drop down menu provides  
options for the way in which power is sent to the attached  
antenna. The choices are Antenna Auto , Antenna On and  
Antenna Off . Antenna Auto is the default and allows the  
T2FAM-EX to supply power to the NV-T2FAA antenna. In  
instances where you intend on using a third party FM antenna,  
the Antenna Off choice is necessary to block DC voltage  
needed for AM reception. This eliminates the need for an inline  
DC blocker. Antenna On and Antenna Auto serve the same  
function. A DC voltage must be present for AM reception.

5.0 Update System  
When you are ready to download your configuration to the  
T2FAM-EX, connect your computer to the DB9, RS232 port on  
the back panel of the Tuner. Note that you may need a USB to  
RS232 cable if your computer is not equipped with a serial  
port.  
5.1 Help/ About (Fig. 40): You can click on Help and then  
About to confirm communication between the computer and  
the Tuner. The initial software screen will appear. If the current  
Tuner firmware information is listed in the bottom right-hand  
corner of the screen, you have good communication. If it does  
not appear, check your cable connections, and make sure the  
Tuner is powered on. Often, lack of communication is fixed by  
closing and reopening the Configurator.

5.3 Successful Download (Fig. 42): When the download is  
complete, a final window will appear indicating that all  
information has downloaded successfully. Actual download  
time will vary based on your computer’s processing  
capabilities.

5.2 Download Configuration (Fig. 41): The final step in the  
setup is to download the configuration to the T2FAM-EX via  
either its RS232 serial port. A progress bar will indicate the  
actual download process.
