2.2 Recycling Kramer Products The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility.
3 Overview The Yarden 4-O includes a pair of high performance on-wall speakers that can be mounted on the wall either vertically or horizontally. The mounting brackets, made of painted steel, can be attached to each speaker, letting you rotate each speaker from side to side. The Yarden 4-O speakers feature a multi-tap power transformer for selecting 8Ω (bypassing the transformer) or 70V/100V power settings that are suitable for an array installation.
3.1 Defining the Yarden 4-O This section defines the Yarden 4-O: Figure 1: Yarden 4-O # Feature Function 1 Keyhole Mounting Point Use to hang the speaker directly on the wall (instead of using the brackets) 2 Tap Selector Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting: For 70V, 1.2W, 2.5W or 5W; for 100V, select 2.
4 Installing the Yarden 4-O This section explains how to: 4.1 Choose the best location for your speakers (see Section 4.1) Install the speaker wires (see Section 4.2) Install the mounting brackets (see Section 4.3) Setup an array installation (see Section 4.4) Install the Yarden 4-O (see Section 4.
3. Pass the speaker wires through the round hole in the mounting bracket (see Section 4.3). 4. Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting (see Figure 2). Set the tap according to the power requirements of the speaker based on its location in the room (for example, a speaker located in a remote corner may require additional power) Figure 2: Adjust Tap Selector 5.
3. Slide a speaker into each mounting bracket. 4. Align the bracket screw holes (upper and lower) to those on the speaker and screw a knob to each of the holes to secure the speaker to the bracket (see Figure 3). Figure 3: Yarden 4-O with Brackets Connected 5. Slide the mounting bracket over the mounting screws so that the mounting bracket is secured to the surface. 6. You can slightly loosen the knobs on a speaker to adjust its direction.
4.4 Setting up an Array Installation When installing the Yarden 4-O in an array installation layout, you need to define the distance between speakers as well as the layout pattern (square or hexagonal). The distance between speakers is set according to the uniformity of the coverage desired and the budget. The coverage angle of the speaker determines the coverage area and the number of speakers required in the array installation.
Figure 6 shows an example of parallel wiring in a square array installation: Figure 6: Square Layout Parallel Wiring 10 Yarden 4-O - Installing the Yarden 4-O
