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.

Replacing the Fuse

1. Disconnect this product from power.
2. Using a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove blown fuse and replace with a good fuse of the same type and rating.
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

DMX Linking

The Ovation F-415FC will work with a DMX controller using a 3- and 5-pin DMX serial connection. A DMX Primer is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.

DMX Connection

The Ovation F-415FC uses a 3- and 5-pin DMX data connection for its DMX personalities: 1Ch, 3Ch, 5Ch, 7Ch, 11Ch, 13Ch, 14Ch, 18Ch, and HSV. See the User Manual for information about connecting and configuring the product for DMX operation.

Master/Slave Connection

The Ovation F-415FC uses the DMX data connection for its master/slave mode. See the User Manual for information about how to connect and configure the product for master/slave operation.

RDM (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 with the manufacturer or the DMX controller's User Manual, as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation F-415FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options. Download the User Manual from www.chauvetprofessional.com for more details.

Mounting

Before mounting this product, read the Safety Notes. Use at least one mounting point per product. Make sure the mounting clamps can support the weight of the product. For the Chauvet line of mounting clamps, go to: http://trusst.com/productcategory/truss-clamps/.

Virtual Color Wheel (VCW)

The Ovation F-415FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This feature is available as a standalone control mode for manual use and as a control channel in select DMX personalities. More than 30 premixed colors, custom blended by Chauvet engineers, are available to call up for easier programming.

The DMX values used to mix these colors are provided below. The overall intensity of the Ovation fixture can be adjusted to more closely replicate familiar industry-standard colors. A chart is available on www.chauvetprofessional.com to compare Chauvet's premixed colors with popular gel colors. This chart is for comparison purposes only and is not an assertion that Chauvet's premixed colors match any of the gel colors listed.
