Power Supply: The ADJ Revo 4 IR contains a automatic voltage

switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the
power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the cor­rect power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX

controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fix­ture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture
via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX
fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models
of dierent manufactures to be linked together and operate from a
single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX

compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using
several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The
order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence
the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address
of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the
end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first fixture controlled
by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture
is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send
DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located
in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The Revo 4 IR can be controlled via DMX-512 proto-

col. The Revo 4 IR can be a four or 256 channel DMX unit. The DMX

address is set electronically using the controls on

the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX
controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm
Data cable for data input and data output (Figure

1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you

are making your own cables, be sure to use stan-

dard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may

be purchased at almost all professional sound and
lighting stores). Your cables should be made with

a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
