3. Setup
AC Power
Each Ovation B-2805FC has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of 100
to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each Ovation B-2805FC, refer to the label
affixed to the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For more
information, download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
AC Plug
The Ovation B-2805FC comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector
on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came with the
product has no plug, or if the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire the new plug.
Power Linking
The product supports power linking. It is possible to power link up to 2 Ovation B-2805FC products at
100 V or 120 V, 4 products at 208 V, or up to 5 products at 230 V or 240 V. Never exceed this number. This

Connection Diagram
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 B-2805FC supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation B-2805FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation B-
2805FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation B-2805FC becomes the master
when running an auto program, or by being in 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 or need 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.
