# Making the Connections

The Revolver connects to a Stagehand with a standard Signal cable and can be configured with Apprentice or Pro motor/Brake connectors. The encoder(s) connect with an M12 style connector.

{% hint style="info" %}
To use the TR3 encoder with a Pivot, disconnect the M12 connector from the encoder and use the extension cable.
{% endhint %}
