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. Ovation B-2805FC User Manual Rev. 10 Page 2 of 53...
2. Introduction Description The Ovation B-2805FC is the first batten-style fixture to take advantage of the extended color capabilities of the RGBA-Lime color mixing system. Control is easier than ever thanks to the incorporation of RDM, Art-Net™, and sACN in addition to standard DMX control. For maximum flexibility, up to 10 sections can be controlled individually whereas its easily accessible Virtual Color Wheel and Color Temperature presets make programming a breeze.

Master/Slave Connectivity The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation B-2805FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation B- 2805FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation B-2805FC becomes the master when running an auto program, or by being in Static mode.
Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the knobs. Procedure The Ovation B-2805FC has two threaded holes for mounting. You must supply the mounting clamps. Make sure the clamps are capable of supporting the weight of this product. Use at least one mounting point per product.

Virtual Color Wheel The Ovation B-2805FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This feature is available as a stand-alone control mode for manual use and also as a control channel in select DMX personalities. Over 30 pre- mixed colors, custom blended by our engineers, are available to call up for easier programming.
Use control configurations to operate the product with a controller. Control Protocol This setting allows you to choose the protocol with which to control the Ovation B-2805FC. Go to the Protocol main level. Select the desired control protocol (DMX512, ArtNet, or sACN).
Auto programs allow for dynamic blinder effects without a DMX controller. Go to the Auto Show main level Select the desired auto program (Auto 1–9 or Fade). Select the desired speed (1–100). The auto programs cannot be edited. Ovation B-2805FC User Manual Rev. 10 Page 46 of 53...
The master should be the first product in the daisy chain. Dimmer Profiles This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation B-2805FC changes when you modify the output value. This setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.
Select Normal (upright display) or Inverse (inverted display). Back Light This setting allows for selection of the amount of time the backlight on the Ovation B-2805FC’s display stays on after the last button is pressed on the control panel. Go to the Back Light main level.
Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them. Do not spin the cooling fan using compressed air because you could damage it. Page 49 of 53 Ovation B-2805FC User Manual Rev. 10...
