Chauvet Professional Ovation FD 205WW - Operation - 1

If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Expected LED Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs' lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs' lifespan.

Make sure to disconnect the product's power cord before replacing a blown fuse. Always replace the blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.

DMX Linking

You can link the Ovation FD-205WW to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The Ovation FD-205WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1-, 2- and 5-channel DMX personalities.

• Refer to the Introduction for a brief description of each DMX personality.
- Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation FD-205WW to work in these personalities.
• The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX personalities.

Remote Device Management (RDM)

Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller's User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation FD-205WW supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows a Ovation FD-205WW (the master) to control one or more Ovation FD-205WW products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation FD-205WW becomes the master when running an auto or custom program, or by being in a Static mode.

You must configure each slave's control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

Chauvet Professional Ovation FD 205WW - Master/Slave Connectivity - 1

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.

Chauvet Professional Ovation FD 205WW - Master/Slave Connectivity - 2

  • The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure the master and slaves.
  • If you are not familiar with DMX standards or Master/Slave connectivity, download the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website www.chauvetprofessional.com for more information.

Dimmer Modes

The Ovation FD-205WW may be plugged into and controlled using a regular dimmer.

  • When in SENS mode, advanced onboard electronics automatically detect what type of power and data the product receives and it responds accordingly. This is the factory default setting.
  • When in DMX mode, the product runs only on constant power and is controlled solely on DMX. The product will not respond to dimmer control in this mode.
  • When in DMMR mode, DMX control is turned off. Intensity is controlled using a dimmer. In this mode, the product reacts exactly like an incandescent product.

For the best performance while running on dimmers, use the settings listed below:

  1. Go to the SETTING main level.
  2. Select the DIMMER programming level.
  3. Select DIM4.
