HAI Integration

You connect a NuVo system to an HAI OmniPro II or Lumina Pro system using a serial port connection. You will need an available serial port on your HAI system and an HAI Serial Connectivity Adapter Kit (Part Number 36A05-4) to connect the NuVo system to the HAI system. HAI recommends the use of a RS-232 Line Booster or RS-232 Optical Isolator if your serial cable is longer than 7 feet.

HAI recommends hooking up your NuVo system to serial port 2. This port has better buffering than port 1 or ports 3-5, which is important because of the high data rates used by the NuVo menu protocol. Note that the NuVo Grand Concerto and the NuVo Essential G cannot be connected to the first serial port (J1 Serial).

An HAI OmniTouch Touchscreen can control on/off, volume, muting, transports, audio source, and many other functions for each audio zone.
