Revo Rave™ Operating Instructions
Revo Rave™ Operating Instructions
operating Modes:
The Revo Rave can operate in three different
modes. In each mode you can run the fixture as a stand alone
fixture or in a master/slave confiugration. This next section will
detail the differences in the operating modes.
• Sound Active mode -
The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.
• Show mode -
Choose 1 of 12 show modes to run.
• DMX control mode -
This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
Show
Designer.

Master-Slave Operation
This function will allow you to link up to 16
units together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound
activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling
unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit
can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-
er via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the
Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector
is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female
XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male
XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina-
tor at the last fixture.
2. On the Master unit find your desired show and set that show by
pressiing the ENTER button.
3. On the slave units
tap the MENU button until “
SLND
” is dis-
played, and Press ENTER.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a Elation
®
universal DMX-512 controller to control the chases and patterns, dim-
mer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique pro-
grams tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Revo Rave 5 Channel fixture. See page 13 for detailed
description of the DMX values and traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 5-7 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4. This will allow you to create your own programs.
5. Follow the instructions on page 9 to set the DMX address.
6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.

units linked together, to run to the beat of the music.
