Congratulations on purchasing your LARA Radio device (Internet radio in a switch). The instruction manual provides information on installing and operating the device. The instruction manual is always a part of the supply. Only perform installation after becoming thoroughly familiar with this User Guide and device functions. Problem-free function of the device also depends on the way it was shipped, stored and handled. If you notice any signs of damage, deformation, malfunction or a missing part, do not install this product and return it to the point of sale. At the end of its service life, the product and its parts must be treated as electronic waste. Before starting the installation, make sure that all wires and connected parts are not under voltage. When assembling and performing maintenance, you must uphold safety regulations, standards, directives and special provisions for working with electrical equipment. For successful installation, you will need: LARA Radio, a set of speakers, PoE power source, UTP cable with RJ45 connector, cable for speakers, PC with the application LARA Configurator. To protect yourself from electrical shock, connect only safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. For example power supplies PoE (SELV) or LAN circuits (SELV circuits). Other power supplies (ELV) and WAN circuits (TNV circuits) should not be connected directly to product.

Warning: some LAN and WAN ports use the same connectors RJ-45 so be careful when connecting a product.

• A music and Internet radio player - all in the dimension of a switch and a luxurious LOGUS90 design.

• LARA Radio - when connected to the Internet, it can play streaming radio stations and you can store up to 40 of them. But you can also select from thousands of radio stations from across the globe, which provide data for correct connection.

• LARA Radio can play content from an external music source, which can be an smart phone or e.g. an MP3 player. These devices are connected to a 3.5mm stereo jack audio input, located underneath the front panel.

• LARA Radio can also play audio files from central data storage, onto which Logitech Media Server is installed. This LARA function can therefore be used within the complex iNELS system or as an entirely independent home automation device. When used within iNELS, control is a part of the complex application iHC. If using with NAS data storage, the application LARA NAS App is available.

• Touch control is performed on the device front panel (six capacity buttons available), or by infrared remote control, which is included in the product packaging. The basic device settings (network connection, language, audio input) are performed via the display and a simple menu controlled from capacity buttons on the device front cover. Further settings (selection of stations, connection with the server, updating firmware, etc.) are configured via computer and the software LARA Configurator.

• LARA Radio is equipped with an OLED colored display with the size of 1.5“. The display also shows basic information about playing music, which also serves the orientation in the menu settings, etc.

• LARA Radio has an integrated amplifier with 2 x 10 W output, thus greatly facilitating device installation in places where such output suffices. LARA is used e.g. to provide premium sound to the kitchen, waiting rooms, offices, reception desks, entrance halls, operating rooms or wellness facilities.

• LARA is powered by PoE with maximum voltage level 27 V DC / 1000mA. So connecting and communicating with just one cable (UTP) is a major advantage.

• For LARA, an entire series of accessories is ready for connection (PoE adapters, PoE switches), speakers (in a frame, walls or ceilings) and installation (cables, box, etc.).

• Complies with standards IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-Tx).

• Automatic cable crossing detection of Ethernet cable - MDIX.

When installing the speakers, use quality audio cables with minimum diameter 0.5 mm, with maximum length of 30 m. It is best to have the same cable length for the right and left channels.

Hardware installation

Requirements for installation environment:

- The product cannot be placed where it is exposed to moisture or excessive heat.

- Place the product at a spot where it can be connected to the Ethernet network. The Ethernet cable with PoE

supply should have a short a distance as possible between the player and PoE source due to voltage drop occurring as the distance grows. Also use quality cables and connectors of a renowned brand for installation.

- Never install the player without its installation box, and it is prohibited to mount it directly into the wall, e.g. into

drywall partitions, where the device chassis would be directly wrapped in insulation material.

- Distributing individual elements of the installation must be de ned prior to actual installation, prior to

interference (cutting) into walls or installation of boxes.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) is fed along a data network cable, without the need to provide power to the machine by another separate cable.

Description of installation: Install the bottom part of the LARA player into the box KU, we recommend a box that enables mounting devices with greater depth.Connect the speaker cables into the terminals OUT L +/- OUT R +/-. You can connect the input to an external amplifier into the terminals LINE OUT L, LINE OUT R, GND. Snap the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector. Secure the device using the installation box screws. Snap the upper part of the player into the design frame LOGUS

. Snap the upper part of the player with the frame to the lower part of the player. Connection of these two parts must be performed with care to avoid damaging the connectors. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE switch or via the PoE adapter to the Wi-Fi router, switch. After providing power, the display shows the system information, then after around five seconds the main display of the player.
