Revo 4 Set Up

Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-

age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® Revo 4. The American DJ® Revo 4 contains a electronic ballast, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry about wall voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere. Also be sure to only use the included I.E.C. power cable supplied with the unit.

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 different 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 can

be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Revo 4

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 standard 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 remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last

unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
