Revolt Application Chart While Revolt makes the Ronin 2 compatible with a wide variety of power sources and cabling options, it’s important to make sure your desired power pathway is rated for your application! “Application” in this case means the LOAD, which is everything being powered by the Ronin 2 multiplied by the DUTY, which is how dynamic the load will be handled based on what’...
A typical V-Mount/Gold Mount battery can discharge ~9 amps continuously. So, 12 volts x 9 amps = 108 Watts making it a suitable power source for “LIGHT” applications (requires MotoCrane DC-3). Due to the low power of this application, standard (low) capacity XLR Cables will likely not cause problems for this application.
“Revolt and TB50” below) Regulated power sources (such as a Block Battery, or MotoCrane AC-3/DC-3) provide a constant, fixed output voltage, so the Status LED will not change as its remaining battery life decreases. In this scenario, battery voltage must be monitored at the source, not by Revolt.
Medium to Heavy applications , (or Light applications operating at long distances) should always use High Capacity 3-Pin XLR cables from MotoCrane. Inadequate cabling can result in excessive voltage drop, heat, and power failure. DC-3 Setup & Use 1. With the Output power switch turned “OFF”, connect a 12V or 48V power source to the correct input on the DC-3.
