QUICK SET UP GUIDE
The RevoPRO™ Dual Programmable Rotator is quick and easy to congure
using the LCD display.
1. Load a standard B size gobo into each gobo wheel. The threaded collar
should be tightened until just in contact with the gobo. Do not over
tighten. If using two metal gobos with ne elements in the design, place
a Gobo Spacer Ring (Part no. 205 83007 0000) between the gobos to
prevent warping and entanglement.
Tip: When screwing on the threaded collar, place one nger from each
hand on the machined at spots and slowly rotate the collar, keeping
even pressure on both ngers. This helps the threads to engage evenly
and prevents binding and cross threading.
2. Insert RevoPRO™ into a the iris slot of a compatible luminaire. Make sure
unit is completely seated.
3. Engage Friction Lock by depressing plunger. Secure RevoPRO™ to the
luminaire using a safety cable.
4. Connect an IEC 18AWG power cable to the appropriate power supply
(100-240VAC 50/60hz).
5. Use LCD Display and buttons B1 – B4 to congure RevoPRO.
6. Press B1 to enter Setup mode. When display begins blinking, press B1
again to select desired Mode (1-7). Note: RevoPRO™ uses 2, 4, or 6 channels of DMX depending on the Operation Mode selected.
7. Set DMX Address using B2 – B4. Press B2 to set 100s place of desired DMX
Address. Press B3 to set 10s place. Press B4 to set 1s place.
8. Display will now show, for example 1.001 to indicate Mode 1, DMX Address 001.
9. Press and hold B2 to save your conguration. RevoPRO™ will remember
and restore your saved conguration on power up.
10. Adjust channels 1-6 (depending on Op Mode) on your lighting control
desk to set speed, direction and index position of each gobo.
11. RevoPRO™ can be congured for stand alone operation, requiring no
DMX control. See Section 7 inside for more instructions.

4. SPECIFYING AND INSTALLING GOBOS
Your Rosco RevoPRO Dual Programmable Rotator will accept standard B-size
gobos of virtually any style, whether steel or glass, b/w or color, textured or
at. A B-size gobo has a diameter of 86mm (3.38in) and an image area of
64.5mm (2.54in).
Many modern luminaires have optical systems capable or projecting a larger
image area. The RevoPRO™ has an open aperture of 75mm (2.95in) giving you
the exibility to maximize your projection size by using gobos with a larger
image area.
RevoPRO™ will accept a wide range of gobo styles from many manufacturers
including Stainless Steel gobos, Colorizers™, Image Glass™, Prismatics™, Colorwaves™, Silk Screen Gobos , B/W Glass gobos, 1C Glass Gobos, 2C Glass Gobos,
3C Glass Gobos, Multi-Color Gobos and many others.
Loading Gobos into your RevoPRO™ rotator
RevoPRO™ has two gobo wheels into which you can load gobo eects. While
it is most common to load just one gobo into each wheel, you can stack
gobos together into the same wheel position providing your stack does not
exceed the total maximum thickness of 3.5mm (0.138in).
All Rosco BeltDriveFx rotators utilize an innovative Threaded Collar to securely
hold gobos of varying thicknesses. Unlike the spring clips common in similar
equipment, the Threaded Collar screws down to positively lock the gobo in
place. This prevents the gobo from slipping during rotation and losing index
or centering.
Page 7
RevoPRO Operations Manual
p. 7
To load a gobo into the gobo wheels
1. Place the rotator on a stable at surface. Unscrew the Threaded Collar
from each gobo wheel (counter-clockwise to unscrew, clockwise to
tighten).
There are two at sections on the collar to give your ngers a place to
grip. If the collar has been over tightened and is stuck, another small
machined spot on the outer ring allows you to gain purchase when
spinning the collar opposite to the entire gobo wheel.
2. Once the Threaded Collars are removed, insert a B size gobo so that it
lays at against the gobo wheel.
TIP: When installing a metal gobo, an optional Gobo Spacer Ring
(Part no. 205 83007 0000) is available to increase the separation between the gobos to achieve a wider range of focus eects. This spacer
can also be useful if two metal gobos with ne thin details are being
used. In the event that the heat from the luminaire causes the gobos
to warp towards one another, use of the spacer ring will prevent the
gobos from getting tangled together.
3. Screw on the Threaded Collar until just in contact with the gobo. Do
not over tighten.
The Threaded Collar has Teon™ threads to ease rotation and avoid
binding however there is still a small risk of cross threading. Do not
forcibly screw on the Threaded Collar . If you encounter undue resistance, back o and start again. Lay the Threaded Collar at onto the
ring and slowly and evenly rotate until the threads align and engage
properly.
Page 8
p. 8
TIP: When screwing on the Collar, place one nger from each hand on
the machined ats and slowly rotate the collar, keeping even pressure
on both ngers. This helps the threads to engage evenly and prevents
binding and cross threading. If you are having diculties getting the
thread to “catch,” slowly spin the Collar CCW while continuing to apply
gentle even pressure, then reverse back to CW until the threading
begins.
4. Repeat this process for both gobo wheels.
NOTE: When using Apollo gobos
Apollo Design manufactures a non-standard “B” sized gobo which has
an 80mm diameter. Rosco BeltDriveFx rotators can accept these smaller
gobos provided you keep a few considerations in mind. The underside of
the Threaded Collar which hold gobos in place has been machined with an
80mm recessed lip. To install an Apollo 80mm gobo, you must insure that
the gobo sits in the center of the gobo mounting ring as the Threaded Collar slowly tightens down. Slight wiggling of the gobo during this process
helps to nd the center recessed ridge.
5. INSTALLATION, POWER AND DATA CONNECTIONS
The RevoPRO™ has been engineered to t into the bodies of most modern ellipsoidal luminaires including ETC Source Four, ETC S4 Zoom, Selecon Pacic,
Selecon Pacic Zoom, Altman Shakespeare and Strand SL among others.
1. Insert RevoPRO™ into the iris slot of the luminaire with the motor box
facing forward, towards the lens.
Inserting the rotator in the opposite orientation will cause the motor
box to interfere with the shutter handles.
It may be necessary to angle the yoke of the luminaire back to allow
access into the accessory iris slot.
On certain luminaires, the sliding cover over the iris slot may have to be
removed to allow the RevoPRO™ to t properly.
Note: When installing into a Selecon Pacic luminaire, align the groove
in the edge of the RevoPRO™ body with the rear-most tab of the Iris
Slot.
2. When seated fully and completely, the gobo wheel should be centered
in the lens tube. If necessary, remove the lens tube and visually conrm
that the rotator is seated and aligned properly. It is important that
the aperture of the gobo rotator be centered in the optical path of the
Page 9
RevoPRO Operations Manual
p. 9
luminaire in order to project without obstructions to the gobo design.
3. The RevoPRO™ is equipped with a unique safety feature, the Friction
Lock. Depress the metal slider located on the left side of the RevoPRO™
to extend a knurled brake cylinder.
This brake presses against the inside wall of the iris slot, securely holding the RevoPRO™ in place.
Note: To install the RevoPRO™ into your luminaire it is necessary that
the Friction Lock Slider be in the UP position, with the lock disengaged.
4. Attach a safety cable to the RevoPRO™ and then to the yoke of your
luminaire or other secure point.
The D-cut out in the metal housing to the right of the motor box will
accept the spring clip of a standard safety cable or the loop end of a
small safety cable.
Power and Data
The RevoPRO™ uses an internal, auto-sensing, auto-switching power supply
suitable for almost any location.
1. Connect it to any suitable 100-240VAC 50/60hz power source using an
ANSI standard IEC cable.
2. If using a DMX controller, connect a 5-pin DMX cable from your lighting desk/console or from the pass–thru of another DMX device into the
DMX input port on your PSU.
6. CHOOSING OPERATION MODE AND SETTING DMX ADDRESS
When powered on, the RevoPRO™ will restore to its previous conguration. If
this conguration was an indexing mode (3-7) then the unit will go through a

7. OPERATION MODES
The RevoPRO™ has seven modes of operation to oer the programmer and
lighting designer maximum exibility.
MODE ONE – 2 Channel - Std Forward Control•
MODE TWO – 2 CH - ML Center Inverse Control•
MODE THREE – 4 CH 8 Bit (Coarse) Indexing – Std Forward Control •
MODE FOUR – 4 CH 8 Bit Indexing ML Center Inverse Control•

MODE SIX – 6 CH 16 Bit (Fine) Indexing ML Center Inverse Control•
MODE SEVEN – 4 CH Indexing Shortest Path – 8 bit•
STAND ALONE – No DMX required•
Page 12
p. 12
MODE ONE: 2 CH Forward Control
Mode One provides simple control of Gobo A and Gobo B using only two
channels of DMX. Channel 1 controls Gobo A, Channel 2 controls Gobo
B. Speed and direction of each gobo is adjusted by varying the level of the
appropriate channel. Adjust Channel 1 from 0 to 50% (0 – 127 DMX value)
to rotate Gobo A clockwise. Adjust Channel 1 from 51 – 99% (128 – 254) to
rotate Gobo A Counter-Clockwise. 0% (DMX 0), 50% (DMX 128) and 100%
(DMX 255) are full stop.
Adjust Channel 2 to control Gobo B similarly.
Note: Clockwise is determined when looking down the light path from the
point of view of the lamp, with the motor box facing away from you.

2 FL 255 Gobo B - Stop
MODE TWO: 2 CH - ML Center Inverse Control
Similar to Mode one, Mode Two provides simple two channel control of the
RevoPRO™. For programmers who prefer it, the speed and direction control is
more similar to that used by automated lighting programmers. Speed control
conguration is “center inverse.” In this mode, slowest speed in both directions is set at the 50% (DMX 128) point on the channel. To increase speed in
the clockwise directions, adjust the level down from 50% (DMX 128) to 1% for
full speed. 0% is full stop. To increase speed in the Counter Clockwise direction, adjust the level up from 50% to 99%.
Adjust Channel 2 to control Gobo B similarly

MODE THREE: 4 CH Indexing – 8 bit resolution - Forward Control
Indexing is a feature where the designer can specically stop the rotation at a
certain location. This is useful for some eects like Clock or See-Saw movements, but it is also useful with an I-Cue Mirror when you need to keep the
orientation of a gobo very specic, as with a logo. Mode Three allows for simple, low resolution indexing using only 2 channels per gobo. As in Mode One,
speed and direction for Gobo A is controlled by Channel 1, speed and direction for Gobo B controlled by Channel 2. Channel 3 is used to set the position
of between 1-degree and 370-degrees of Gobo A. Channel 4 is used to set the
position of Gobo B between 1-degree and 370-degrees. For precise programming, program the index using DMX values, not channel percentages.
Example: To set Gobo A rotating at full speed, set CH1 = 99% and set CH3 = 0.
To now stop Gobo A at a precise orientation, set CH 3 = DMX 127 (or any other
value > 0). Rotation will continue until the exact orientation is acheived and
then stop. To continue rotating, set CH3 = 0.

MODE FOUR: 4 CH Indexing – 8 bit resolution - ML Center Inverse
Similar to Mode Two, Mode Four uses the center 50% mark on the channel
level to control speed and direction of the gobos. And similar to Mode Three,
this conguration allows for low resolution indexing of the gobos using Channels 3 & 4.

MODE FIVE: 6 CH Indexing – 16 bit resolution - Forward Control
16-Bit or high resolution indexing provides very ne position control over
the orientation of the gobo but requires 1 extra control channel per gobo
to accomplish this. In 8-bit resolution, each point of DMX value changes the
position of the gobo by 1.45-degrees. (370-degrees / 255 values of DMX).
When projected over long distances, this 1.45-degree step can make for very
coarse gobo position control. In 16-Bit, high resolution, each 1.45-degree step
is further divided by 255 points of DMX. With this additional channel of precision, the gobo position can be adjusted within 0.005-degrees!
8-Bit
Indexing
16-Bit
Indexing
To program in 16-bit resolution, Channels 1 control speed and direction of
Gobo A. Channel 3 sets the coarse position of Gobo A. Channel 4 sets the ne
position of Gobo A (precisely adjusting the coarse point set by Channel 3).
Channels 2, 5, & 6 similarly control Gobo B.

MODE SEVEN: 4 CH Indexing Shortest Path – 8 bit
In Mode Seven, control of speed, direction, and 8-bit index position is separated into 2 channels for each gobo. Channel 1 sets Gobo A to rotating CW,
Page 17

p. 17
increasing speed from 0-100% (0-255 DMX). Channel 2 will set Gobo A spinning CCW, speed varying from 0-100% based on level. If BOTH Channel 1 and
2 are at levels other than 0, then Channel 2 sets the 8 bit index position. The
gobo will rotate, at the speed set by Channel 1 until it reaches the index point
set by Channel 2 and then stop. If either channel is then taken to 0, rotation
will resume with speed and direction according to the level set on the active
channel.
Control of Gobo B uses Channels 3 & 4 similarly.

EFFECTS LIBRARY – NO DMX
The RevoPRO can be congured to operate with no DMX signal present by
using the LED Display Panel to recall and apply one of 10 pre programmed
eects sequences to either Gobo A or Gobo B. By combining any of these
10 sequences, a total of 100 variations can be achieved. The list of pre-programmed eects is:
0 = Continuous rotation
1 = Swing 181°
2 = Swing 80°
3 = Swing 21°
4 = Swing 360°

Depending on the eects sequence selected, RevoPRO may run through a
homing sequence before activating the specied eects. To adjust the speed
and direction of this program, repeat steps 1-12 without changing the Eects
numbers in steps 1-4. RevoPRO will recall and restore the last programmed
eects sequence in the event of a power loss or Operation Mode change.
Note: Some eects sequences (notably, #3, #6, #9) that create quick alternating
movements may and which are run at high speeds may cause minor clicking
noises due to the fast direction changes. Reduce the speed settings to minimize
this.

8. PRECAUTIONS
Use only properly rated IEC power cord (18AWG 3C SJT) and connect •
only to compatible voltage supplies (100-240v 50-60hz)
Always use a safety cable to insure the RevoPRO™ cannot fall out of the •
xture.
Do not allow power cord to come in contact with the hot body of the •
luminaire or the rear lamp cap.
Keep ngers clear of moving parts.•
The metal case of the RevoPRO™ may get very hot after continuous •
use in a luminaire. Use caution to avoid burns when handling units that
have been in running luminaires.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
The RevoPRO™ will not t into the Iris Slot.1.
Make sure the Friction Lock is in the up (disengaged) position a.
and that the lock itself is not extending outside the metal case.
The iris slot cover of the luminaire may need to be removed to b.
allow complete access to the slot. Fully remove the two screws
holding the cover and lift o. Set aside so that the cover can be
reinstalled at a later date.
Installing the RevoPRO™ into the Selecon Pacic Coolight c.
requires that the guide channel in the side cut of the RevoPRO™
align with the rear guide track in the Pacic’s iris slot.
Note: RevoPRO™ is not compatible with Philips/Selecon SPX or d.
Leviton LEO.
Threaded Collar will not tighten down on gobo2.
Check that Threaded Collar is not cross-threaded. Gently un-a.
screw the Threaded Collar. Reset gobo and re-thread Threaded
Collar following the instructions in Section 4, Installing Gobos.
The projected gobo appears out of round or cut o.3.
The RevoPRO™ is not properly seated in the luminaire. Remove a.
RevoPRO™ unit and reinsert making sure that the unit is seated
all the way down in the light.

warped towards one another and become entangled. If this has
happened, use a Gobo Spacer Ring (205 83007 0000) underneath
one or both metal gobos.
Channel is at full but gobo is not rotating.8.
Channel levels 0, 50% and 100% (DMX 0, 128, 255) all represent a.
STOP values for rotation. 1-49 and 51-99 are channel levels that
increase or decrease speed.
