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.

- Remove the blown fuse and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (T 3.15 A, 250 V).
- Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

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.

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.

- 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.

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean this product frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
Clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
To clean the product:
- Unplug the product from power.
- Wait until the product is at room temperature.
- Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external vents.
- Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
- Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
- Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
- Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
