FCC Statement of Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 Part B of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Warning for North America and Australia
Warning! This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between
the radiator and the user. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
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 intensity. 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.

3. Setup
AC Power
Each Ovation F-265WW 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 F-265WW, refer to the label
affixed to the product or 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 F-265WW comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik®powerCON®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
It is possible to power link Ovation F-265WW products. See the table below for the current draw at each
voltage and frequency:
Never exceed 15A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (T3 15A, 250 V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
DMX Linking
The Ovation F-265WW can be linked to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other
DMX-compatible products with this product, each can be controlled individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Personalities
The Ovation F-265WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1Ch: 8bit Dim, 2Ch: 16bit Dim,
2Ch: 8bit Dim+Zoom, and 6Ch: 16bit-Full DMX personalities.
• Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of each DMX personality.
• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation F-265WW to work in these personalities.
•TheDMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the control 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 F-265WW supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure 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.

Ovation F-265WW User Manual Rev. 7
Setup
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation F-265WW (the master) to control one or more Ovation F-265WW
products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation F-265WW becomes the master when running
an auto program, or by being 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.
Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the FCC Statement
of Compliance. For the Chauvet Professional line of mounting clamps, go to http://trusst.com/products/.
Orientation
Always mount this product in a safe position, making sure there is adequate room for ventilation,
configuration, and maintenance.
Rigging
Chauvet recommends using the following general guidelines when mounting this product.
• Before deciding on a location for the product, make sure there is easy access to the product for
maintenance and programming purposes.
• Make sure that the structure onto which the product will be mounted can support the product’s
weight (see the Technical Specifications for weight information).
• When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a
rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
• When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity.
• When power linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for power-linking cables to reach.
• The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the desired
angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the knobs.
Procedure
The Ovation F-265WW comes with a bracket to which a mounting clamp (sold separately) can be directly
attached. Make sure the clamps are capable of supporting the weight of this product. Use at least one
mounting point per product. For the Chauvet Professional line of mounting clamps, go to:
http://www.trusst.com/products.
Mounting Diagram
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.
•TheOperation 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:

Product 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 performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
To clean the 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 transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fan using compressed air. Doing so could damage it.
