AC Power
The OVATION E-260WW IP has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product's power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product's back panel, or refer to the product's specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product's average current draw under normal conditions.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
- To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
AC Plug
The OVATION E-260WW IP comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power cable which came with the product has no plug, or if it is necessary to change the plug, use the table below to wire a plug.

For information about DMX standards, Master/Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Remote Device Management
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 E-260WW IP supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an OVATION E-260WW IP (the master) to control one or more OVATION E-260WW IP products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One OVATION E-260WW IP becomes the master when running an auto program or in Static mode.
Each slave's control panel must be configured 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.
- For more information about DMX standards or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.

5. Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source's life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean each lighting product at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
- 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 surface/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.
