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.

Introduction

Description
Ovation FD-105WW is a LED Fresnel wash utilizing data and power sensors to run on both dimming power systems and constant power rigs. A zoom range of 8° to 63° and a soft, warm whitewash with high CRI make it a worthy LED replacement for aging incandescent six-inch Fresnels. Enjoy the benefits of LED lighting without being held back by previous investments made in major dimming systems.

Product Overview

Product Dimensions

Setup

AC Power
Each Ovation FD-105WW has a switchable power supply that can work with an input voltage of 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each Ovation FD-105WW, 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.

• 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.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via a breaker or by unplugging it.

AC Plug
The Ovation FD-105WW 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 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 14 products at 120 V, or up to 24 products at 230 V.
This product comes with a power input cord. Power linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase
Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect this product from power.
2. Using a Phillip-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse and replace it with a good fuse of the same type and rating (T 3.15 A, 250V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect the power.

Make sure to disconnect the product’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse. Always replace the blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.
DMX Linking
You can link the Ovation FD-105WW to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Personalities
The Ovation FD-105WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the UNO: 8bit Dim, Dos: 8bit Dim, 16bit Dim, and STD.P: 8bit Dim, 16bit Dim, and strobe 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-105WW to work in these personalities.
• The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the control personalities.

**If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/ Slave 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.
RDM (Remote Device Management)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally along with existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation FD-105WW supports the RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation FD-105WW (the master) to control one or more Ovation FD- 105WW products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation FD-105WW 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 DMX standards or Master/Slave connectivity, download the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website www.chauvetprofessional.com for more information.

Dimmer Modes
The Ovation FD-105WW may be plugged into and controlled using a regular dimmer.

• When in SEN’s 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 SETTING main level.
2. Select the DIMMER programming level.
3. Select DIM4.
4. Go back to the SETTING main level.
5. Select the CURVE programming level.
6. Select CURVE3.
