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. 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 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.
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 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 7 products at 120 V; up to 12 at 208 V; or up
to 13 at 230 V.
This product comes with a power input cord. Power linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase.
DMX Linking
You can link the Ovation F-265WW 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 F-265WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1Ch: 8bit Dim, 2Ch: 16bit Dim,
2Ch: 8bit Dim+Zoom, and 5Ch: 16bit-Full DMX personalities.

Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller,

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.
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.
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
configure the master and slaves.

Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
