DMX Linking
You can link the Ovation ED-200WW 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 ED-200WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1-, 2-, and 3-channel DMX
personalities.

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 ED-200WW supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Ovation ED-200WW (the master) to control one or more
Ovation ED-200WW products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation ED-200WW 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.

Dimmer Modes
The Ovation ED-200WW 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 DMX512 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 SETTING main level.
