Connecting the power-supply
The LOCO-V2 powers up the Raspberry Pi, so DO NOT power the Raspberry Pi via the 5 volts
USB supply as well.
We recommend to use a power-supply of 24 volts at 120VA. It is the right balance between
output power, back power for the Raspberry Pi and safety. See the list for more power options.
•
Use minimal 19 volts at 90VA, the output power will be 45 Watt at 4 ohm.
•
Use 24 volts at 120 VA, the output power will be 72 Watt at 4 ohm.
•
Use 32 Volts at 200 VA, the output power will be 128 Watt at 4 ohm.
•
Use maximal 35 Volts at 300 VA to run the LOCO at its maximum output power. The
output power will be 153 Watt at 4 ohm.
When using the DC adapter plug, connect the red wire to the + (right site), and the black wire
to the – (left site) of the terminal block J3. When connecting the power-supply directly to the
LOCO-V2, make sure that the + is connected to the right site, and the – is connected to the
left site of the terminal block J3. WIRING THE POWER-SUPPLY THE WRONG WAY CAN DAMAGE
THE LOCO-V2 AND THE POWERSUPPLY, so take precautions.
Powering up the LOCO-V2
If the loudspeakers and the power-supply is connected correctly than it is time to power up the
LOCO-V2. When the LOCO-V2 is powered up, the blue LED D1 will light up. If D1 will not light
up, disconnect the power supply directly and double check the wires and connections. If the
blue LED does light up, than the LOCO-V2 will work correctly.
And play!
One important step to take is to TURN DOWN THE VOLUME before first use!

These distributors will auto-detect the LOCO-V2 for plug and play use, and there are more to
come.
