User manual HARMAN KARDON CAD5

[. . . ] It contains important information that will guide you step by step through the correct and safe installation of the unit. If you do not have experience installing in-wall electrical and telecommunications components, you are advised to consult with a qualified low-voltage contractor or custom installer. If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer. He or she is your best source of product information. [. . . ] å (letter in a circle) Indicates an LED indicator on the top face of the CAD5. Top-Edge Connections ¡ Status Input: When the CAD5 is used in the stand-alone mode with a non-A-BUS/READY source or receiver, an optional 12-volt DC power source may be attached to this jack to keep the A-BUS system active. TM Power Input: Connect the small mini plug at the end of the CAD5 power supply to this jack. £ Audio Inputs: When the CAD5 is used in the stand-alone mode to create an A-BUS system using a receiver that is not A-BUS/READY, connect the right and left audio outputs from the feed source to these input jacks. The source may be a single product such as a tuner or CD player, or it may be the Tape outputs or Multiroom outputs of a receiver. Note that these inputs are connected to Music Sense circuitry that will automatically turn on all A-BUS modules connected to the CAD5 when an audio signal is present, and turn them off 30 seconds after the audio signal stops. ¢ Expansion In Jack: This jack connects to the device that is providing the A-BUS system source that feeds the A-BUS modules used with this CAD5. In most applications, the connection will be to the A-BUS output on a Harman Kardon A-BUS/READY receiver, although the input may also come from the Expansion Out Jack of another CAD5 when multiple hubs are in use. In all cases, the connection should be made using a standard TIA 568A RJ-45 jumper cable. Expansion Out Jack: If you are using more than one CAD5 in your system to add additional rooms, connect one end of a jumper cable with RJ-45 connectors to this jack. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the Expansion In Jack ¢ on the next CAD5. The CAD5 may be mounted on a wall using the screw slots provided on the sides of the unit, or it may simply be placed on any flat surface. · To mount the CAD5 to a wall, first place the unit against the surface to which it will be mounted, and make certain that there is sufficient clearance at all sides for any cables that will be attached and that they are able to reach their destination. · Although the CAD5 is relatively light, make certain that the wall surface is able to support the CAD5. · While holding the CAD5 to the wall, trace the outline of the slots on the "wings" at the left and right side of the ABH to the wall. · Drill a pilot hole and install an anchor or retaining socket sufficient to accommodate a #10 pan-head Phillips-type wood screw that is at least 1 inch long at each side, under the circular part of the tracing. If you have any questions or doubt about the ability of the wall surface to properly support the weight of the CAD5, consult a properly trained installer before proceeding. · When the anchor is installed, place a screw through the slot on either side of the CAD5 and then tighten the screw into the anchor until it is almost completely secured. · Slip the CAD5 so that it slides down the keyhole notch of the slot and then tighten it securely to the wall. Connections to an A-BUS/READY Receiver Step One: Connect the CAD5 to the Receiver Using the RJ-45 jumper cable supplied with the CAD5, connect one end to the Expansion In Jack ¢ on the CAD5 and the other end to the A-BUS/READY jack on the rear panel of your Harman Kardon receiver. Step Two: Connect the A-BUS Modules Connect the RJ-45 jacks on the Cat. 5 cabling that runs to the remote room modules to the A-BUS Outputs · on the CAD5. Make certain that the connector is wired in accordance with the standard TIA 568A color-coding. [. . . ] ç IR Indicator: This LED will flash to confirm that an IR signal is being passed through the CAD5. This signal may originate from a remote A-BUS module or from an optional remote sensor attached to the Local IR Input Terminals §. 31 240 Optional AB 1 A-BUS modules connected by Cat. 5 cabling DVD player or other source component with connection to compatible IR input jack Connections to a Non-A-BUS/READY Product The CAD5 may also be used to bring the benefits of A-BUS technology to audio systems that are not A-BUS/READY. To do this, a few additional steps are required to connect an audio feed and to install any required infrared emitters that are used to control the source equipment. [. . . ]
