Safety Notes
Read all the following safety notes before working with this product. These notes contain important
information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.
Personal Safety
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.
• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.
Mounting and Rigging
• This product is not intended for permanent installation.
• This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose this product to
rain or moisture. (IP20)
• CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g. cold truck to
warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid
causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting
it to power.
• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent
surfaces.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to this product while it is operating.
• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
• Never carry the product by the power cord.
Power and Wiring
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.
• Always make sure you are connecting this product to the proper voltage in accordance with the
specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.
• 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 this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.
• Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.
Operation
• Donot operate this product if there isdamage on the housing, lenses, or cables.Havethe damaged
parts replaced by an authorized technician at once.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.
• The maximum ambient temperature is 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the product at higher temperatures.
• In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!
Expected LED Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in
clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered
LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this
lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting
the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in
this User Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not
open the housing or attempt any repairs.
All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this
product.
If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

3. SETUP
AC Power
Each Ovation B-1965FC 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-1965FC, 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-1965FC 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 your
product has no plug, or if you need the change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.
Power Linking
The product supports power linking. You can power link up to 3 products at 120 V; up to 6 at 208 V; or up
to 7 at 230 V.
This product comes with a power input cord. Power linking cables are available from Chauvet for
purchase.
Signal Connections
You can link the Ovation B-1965FC to a controller or controller software using a DMX connection or an
Ethernet connection. If using other Art-Net™ or sACN-compatible products with the Ovation B-1965FC,
you can control each individually on a single network. See the User Manual for information about how to
connect and configure the product for these signals.
DMX Connection
You can link the Ovation B-1965FC to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection. If using
other DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX
controller.
Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using
an Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is
available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, Streaming-ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting
of Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN compatible
network. ACN is maintained by the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
• Toeliminate unnecessarywear andimprove itslifespan, duringperiods ofnon-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.
