Powering the LCAi220

A 16VDC power supply is included for powering the the LCAi220. There are two separate connection points for powering the LCAi220; a front mounted connection for local powering of the LCAi220 and a rear mounted connection for central powering of the LCAi220. It is only necessary that you connect power to one of the connections.

Front Connection

When using the front mounted input, connect the plug from the power supply to the input on the LCAi220. The power supply plugs into a standard 110VAC outlet.

Rear Connection

When using the rear connection, the power supply is located with the central audio system and power wire is run from that location to the LCAi220. This configuration will require the use of the included LCApi power interface. The LCApi allows connection of power wire to the LCAi220’s included power supply.

Rear Power Wiring Requirements

You will require a 2 conductor cable from the power supply location to the LCAi220 input. The cable should be at least 18 gauge or heavier and of Class 2 construction or an acceptable substitute. The installation methods are identical to those for installing the loudspeaker wiring, although there is no need to increase the wire size beyond 16 gauge. Again, Electricians, Custom A/V Integrators, and Electrical Inspectors are great resources regarding this subject. They are also great at installing such devices. If at any time you feel uncomfortable in wiring, connecting or choosing product locations consult with a professional.
