Mounting And
Rigging
•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.

higher temperature.
•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product may require service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in clusters,
LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-
LED conditions. For this
reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan.
Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 90,000 to 100,000 hours. If extending this
lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the
product and reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition,
limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

2. INTRODUCTION
Description
The OVATION™ FD-165WW Fresnel wash is a high-power LED based product utilizing data and
power sensors that make it possible to run on both dimming power systems and constant power
rigs. Advanced onboard electronics automatically detect what type of power and data the product
receives and it responds accordingly. When the product
is used on a dimming system, our
proprietary motorized zoom is still easily accessed by the rotary knob on the back of the product
.
The dimming and even field of light produced by its original OVATION™ FD-165WW
counterpart
are still exactly the same.
Features
•Warm white LED Fresnel
•Operating modes:
•1-channel (UNO): dimmer control
•2-channel (DOS): dimmer and fine dimmer control
•5-channel (STD.P): dimmer, fine dimmer, strobe, zoom, and reset control
•3- and 5-pin XLR data input and output connectors
•Works perfectly on conventional dimmers or constant power with DMX
•Auto-senses what kind of system (dimmers or constant power with DMX) and responds
appropriately
•Superior low end dimming regardless of power supplied (conventional dimmer/constant
power with DMX)
•Perfect fixture for the retrofit market, utilizes existing infrastructure flawlessly
•Motorized zoom feature available in DMMR, SENS or DMX modes
•16-bit dimming resolution (DMX mode) for smooth fades
•Flat, even field of light
•Virtually silent operation for use in any situation
•Simple and complex DMX channel profiles for programming versatility
•Warm white Fresnel-style lighting fixture
•Motorized zoom angle between 25° to 76°, manually or via DMX

120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz.
To determine the power requirements for each
OVATION™ FD-165WW
, 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, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website
:
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
•Always connect this product to a protected circuit with 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.
AC Plug
The OVATION™ FD-165WW comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik®
powerCON® 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 to change the Edison
plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

OVATION™ FD-165WW User Manual Rev. 1 -7-
DMX Linking
You can link the OVATION™ FD-165WW to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX
connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with the OVATION™ FD-165WW
, you can
control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX
Personalities
The OVATION™ FD-165WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1-, 2-, and 5-
channel 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™ FD-165WW to
work in these personalities.
•The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
personalities.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave
connec
tivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller,
download the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website:
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a single OVATION™ FD-165WW (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more OVATION™ FD-165WW
products (the “slaves”) without the need of a
DMX controller to control the slaves. Once set and connected, the slaves will opera
te 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.
•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: http://www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
Dimmer Modes
The OVATION™ FD-165WW may be plugged into and controlled using a regular dimmer.
•When in SENS mode, advanced onboard electronics automatically detect what type of
power and data the product receives and it responds accordingly. This is the factory default
setting.
•When in DMX mode, the product runs only on constant power and is controlled solely on
DMX. The product will not respond to dimmer control in this mode.
•When in DMMR mode, DMX control is turned off. Intensity is controlled using a dimmer. In
this mode, the product reacts exactly like an incandescent product.
For the best performance while running on dimmers, use the settings listed below:
1. Go to the SET main level.
2. Select the DIMX programming level.
3. Select DIM4.
4. Go back to SET main level.
5. Select the CURV programming level.
6. Select CV3.

Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single OVATION™ FD-165WW (the “master”) to control
the actions of one or more OVATION™ FD-165WW
products (the “slaves”) without the
need of a DMX controller to control the slaves. The master will be set to operate in Master
mode (MAST), while the slaves will be set to operate in Slave mode (SLAV
). Once set
and connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
Configure the products as indicated below.
The Slaves:
1. Go to the RUN main level.
2. Select SLAV.
3. Connect the DMX input of the first slave to the DMX output of the master.
4. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
5. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
The Master:
1. Go to the SET main level.
2. Select the MCON programming level.
3. Select MAST.
•Note: If you select SELF, no DMX signals are sent to the slaves.
4. Make the master the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
5. Control the master using the DMX controller and the slaves will operate in unison.

Product
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product frequently.
Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
As a rule, 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 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.
