• 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.

SETUP
sACN Connection
Kling-Net is a network protocol that allows auto configuration of display devices using a Neutrik®
etherCON® RJ45 Ethernet connection. Refer to the ArKaos software manual for detailed instructions on
programming this product.
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-565FC supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Ovation B-565FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation B-565FC
products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation B-565FC becomes the master when running
an auto or custom program, or by being in a 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:
