This guarantees that even if the neutral line is broken, no accessible part of the unit is under voltage. The M10 is equipped with this protection class in order to effectively eliminate sound-damaging ground-loops.
Installation and operation Please check the unit and accessories for any signs of transit damage after unpacking. Read the operation manual through carefully before starting to use the unit. Keep the manual for later reference. A unit that shows signs of mechanical damage or which has had liquid in it may not be connected to the mains supply.
- is unstable - has high humidity You must ensure that neither the ventilation slots nor the fans on the back of the M10 are not covered and that there is sufficient ventilation. should be a gap of at least 5 cm in all directions between the M10 and the built-in rack.

RJ11 plug for this connection (6P4C modular). Headphone socket The audio signal from the plug-in modules in the M10 can be listened to over the headphone socket during installation. The signal is also reproduced through the M10’s integrated speaker as a mono signal.
Ethernet interface The Ethernet interface enables the M10 to be integrated into a LAN. In this way, each computer that is also integrated in the LAN can access the Revox system, using the corresponding Revox control software. PDAs or Tablet PCs are also...

M-Text Protocol (UDP) As well as understanding the Revox internal M-Link protocol, the M10 Ethernet interface with the software version 1.10 or higher also understands the clear text commands (M-Text protocol) in ASCII format. This makes it possible to integrate the Revox system in a domestic control system, e.g.

If, on the other hand, the TCP/IP port 5524 is used, the M-Text mode setting is irrelevant. M-Text Mode: Forced The M10 status message is only sent in M-Text format. Only M- text commands are expected. The Forced setting may not be used if M-Link protocols are used as well.
Remote Function The modularity of the M10 requires a flexible usage of operating units, as the M10 can be equipped with a wide range of modules. An operating unit can, for example, be the M218 Wall- mounted keypad or the M208 Remote control.
Calling Remote Select the Remote softkey in the Main menu. As shown in the following graphic, the Remote menu is divided into the areas: Zone Button Source We also recommend that the settings are made in this order, i.e. starting with the Zone. Then you select the key variable (Remote button) from an operating unit.

Re:system Disable variable This function allows you to Disable the remote button. This makes the audio source no longer addressable through the operating unit or remote control. To do this, select the required Remote button through the Zone/ Button combination and press the Disable softkey.
M230 / M-Scope service program. Within the Revox world, a scene only covers the audio side. Linking the Revox scene with, for example a light or window-blind scene, is done through the building control software.

a. Saving a scene A scene must have been defined in a two-step process before it can be stored. Step 1 To start with, you define through Setup – Scene, which rooms are involved and which are not. Essentially, there are three room statuses when defining the scene: 1.
Page 33
The number of active zones and rooms is shown in the centre of the display. In the case of an M10 installation, the speaker integrated in the M10 is defined as the main room. Defining additional rooms You change the status of the additional room between Yes and No with the Rooms softkey.
Page 34
Step 2 In the second step, all additional rooms that are included as an element of the scene and have been defined with Included / Yes, can be setup. Rooms that are not included as elements of the scene and have been defined in the first step with Not included (main room) or with No (additional room), are not...

Calling a scene Once a scene has been defined and saved, it can be called up using the Recall softkey. At the M10, this is done through the M230 or M-Scope service program. The procedure is to select the required scene using...

Renaming a scene Each scene can be given an individual name in order to be able to assign it uniquely. Select the scene whose name is to be changed using the Page and Select softkeys. The following menu appears: Cursor These softkeys are used to position the cursor left/right in the text field.
1 – 7 and 8 – 10. The plug-in slots 11 – 15 are reserved for internal and external M10 modules. The middle column defines each module, the development generation of this module and whether it is bootloader enabled.
