1.0. Using the NV-RVSAT Site Analysis Tool
The Site Analysis Tool is an essential test prior to installing the
Renovia System. All outlets and the related circuits for each zone
should be tested. This will insure that the system will operate
properly and that existing wiring will not cause signal loss. Although
PLC technology is generally effective in isolating noise and activity
on the AC wire, a proper test of each candidate outlet should be
done.
1.1. Suggested Test Sequence
1. Set up the NV-RVSAT-H Hub Test Tool (black unit) in your
first choice hub location. In choosing the room and outlet
location, pay special attention to avoiding interference
sources, or isolating them using the techniques that are
described in section 1.2.
a. Plug the NV-RVSAT-H into the oulet where the
NV-RVM will reside. Plug the NV-RVSAT-H
directly into the outlet (DO NOT use an extension
cord). When the Hub Test Tool is plugged in, it
will search for the NV-RVSAT-Z Zone Test Tool, as
shown in Fig. 1. It will discover the Zone Test
Tool when that unit is plugged into another
outlet in the home.
b. Check the Time in the top banner. If it is
incorrect, press
MENU – Date/Time
Date – use up/down arrow buttons to set
the month, then press OK to go the day and
use the up/down buttons, then press OK to
go to the year and use the up/down
buttons.
Time – use a similar technique to go
through and adjust the four time digits and
AM/PM.
c. Check the rooms list in the Menu. Consider the
name for Hub room, and all zone room locations
to be included in the installation.

Waiting for NV-RVSAT-Z
If additional room names are needed, attach the
USB cable to a PC, and in a text editor, edit the
rooms.dat file in the top level NV-RVSAT device
folder and add a text line for each of the added
room names. Each room name must not exceed
24 characters in length. The new room names
will be available after you write the edited
room.dat file, and unplug the USB cable.
d. Select MENU – Change Hub Room , use the arrow
buttons to select the desired room for the first
Hub choice, and press the OK button.
e. Select MENU – Change Hub Outlet, use the
arrow buttons to select the number
corresponding to your first Hub outlet choice in
this room. For numbering outlets in this choice,
and for all Zone outlet numbering, use the first
outlet to your left as you walk in the main room
entrance as #1, and increase the designated
number as you count outlets around the room,
going clockwise around to the right side of this
entrance. This system will allow you to easily
remember outlet locations corresponding to
outlet numbers logged by the NV-RVSAT tool.
