What the thread found

• The Archer II has a 3-pin Lemo connector that provides both 12 and 24 volt options on different pins
• A Bartech digital receiver can accept voltage between 10 and 30 volts
• A Bartech analog receiver has a maximum voltage rating of 17 volts and will be damaged by 24 volts
• Running a Bartech digital receiver at 24 volts produces higher motor speed compared to 12 volts
• An adapter converting 2-pin Lemo to 3-pin Lemo may be wired for either the 12 or 24 volt pin depending on its origin
• The voltage being delivered through a custom adapter can be verified by measuring with a multimeter on the 2-pin side while powered
• Testing with a single 12 volt battery can confirm whether an adapter is carrying 12 volts without risk
• A purpose-made cable connecting the 3-pin Lemo directly to the follow focus receiver is the most reliable solution

Depends on

• The voltage specifications for analog receivers are stated from memory rather than confirmed documentation
• The specific wiring of the user's adapter cable cannot be determined without testing or visual inspection
• Whether the adapter uses the 12 or 24 volt pin was unknown without measurement
