    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 flexibility to maximize your projection size by using gobos with a larger image area.
  • Page 7 RevoPRO Operations Manual To load a gobo into the gobo wheels Place the rotator on a stable flat surface. Unscrew the Threaded Collar from each gobo wheel (counter-clockwise to unscrew, clockwise to tighten). There are two flat sections on the collar to give your fingers a place to grip.
  • Page 8 5. INSTALLATION, POWER AND DATA CONNECTIONS The RevoPRO™ has been engineered to fit into the bodies of most modern el- lipsoidal luminaires including ETC Source Four, ETC S4 Zoom, Selecon Pacific, Selecon Pacific Zoom, Altman Shakespeare and Strand SL among others.
  • Page 9 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. Attach a safety cable to the RevoPRO™ and then to the yoke of your luminaire or other secure point.

  • Page 12 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 configuration is “center inverse.

  • Page 15 RevoPRO Operations Manual MODE FIVE: 6 CH Indexing – 16 bit resolution - Forward Control 16-Bit or high resolution indexing provides very fine 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.

  • Page 17 Gobo B - Index 0-370° (1.45°/DMX) EFFECTS LIBRARY – NO DMX The RevoPRO can be configured to operate with no DMX signal present by using the LED Display Panel to recall and apply one of 10 pre programmed effects sequences to either Gobo A or Gobo B. By combining any of these 10 sequences, a total of 100 variations can be achieved.
  • Page 18 To adjust the speed and direction of this program, repeat steps 1-12 without changing the Effects numbers in steps 1-4. RevoPRO will recall and restore the last programmed effects sequence in the event of a power loss or Operation Mode change.
  • Page 19 RevoPRO Operations Manual STAND ALONE MODE - USER DEFINED ROTATION To set and store your own rotation effect, use Effect 0 Continuous Rotation ap- plied to both gobos. This allows you to define the exact speed and direction of each gobo and recall this customized specification without using a DMX console.
  • Page 20: 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 fixture. • Do not allow power cord to come in contact with the hot body of the luminaire or the rear lamp cap.
  • Page 21 Confirm DMX addressing for all units. Remember that in some modes, RevoPRO™ will use 2, 4, or 6 channels of DMX. Make sure no two device share DMX address assignments. Check cable connections for faults.
  • Page 22: Technical Specifications

    Check DMX Mode and programming. Channel assignments and motor control operation vary by mode. Confirm correct pro- gramming parameters for selected MODE. Gobo rotation appears normal but stops when channel is brought to FULL or 100%. Check MODE selection. In Mode 2, 4, or 6 this is NORMAL opera- tion.
