Expected LED
Lifespan
Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more
heat than single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full i
ntensity. The
average LED lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper
ventilation around the product, and limit the overall intensity.

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
(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 E-260CW
supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to
menu map options.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Ovation E-260CW (the “master”) to control the actions
of one or more Ovation E-260CW
products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller
to control the slaves. Once set and connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
For instructions on connecting and configuring this product, see Master/Slave Mode.
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.

Maintenance
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 performan
ce and

wear.
To clean your product:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the
external vents.
4. Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
7. Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fans while blowing compressed air into them.
