Expected LED Lifespan

Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit the overall intensity.

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 (e.g., 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 B-565FC comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik® powerCON® connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (US 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 13 products at 120 V; up to 22 at 208 V; or up to 23 at 230 V. This product comes with a power input cord. Power-linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase.

Signal Connections

The Ovation B-565FC uses DMX, Art-Net™, or sACN for the 33 control personalities, ranging from 3- channel to 31-channel. The Ovation B-565FC has 2 Amphenol etherCON® through ports and both 3- and 5-pin DMX in and out ports.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation B-565FC 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:
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.

DMX Connection

You can link the Ovation B-565FC 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.

Art-Net™ Connection

Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP, which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using a Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.

sACN Connection

Kling-Net is a network protocol that allows auto configuration of display devices using a Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45 Ethernet connection. Refer to the ArKaos software manual for detailed instructions on programming this product.

Connection Diagram

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 B-565FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation B-565FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation B-565FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation B-565FC 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 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/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.

Virtual Color Wheel

The Ovation B-565FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This feature is available as a standalone control mode for manual use and also as a control channel in select DMX personalities. More than 30 pre-mixed colors, custom blended by our engineers, are available to call up for easier programming. The DMX values used to mix these colors are provided below. You may adjust the overall intensity of the Ovation fixture in order to more closely replicate colors you are familiar with. A chart is available on our website www.chauvetprofessional.com to compare our pre-mixed colors with popular gel colors. This chart is for comparison purposes only and is not a representation that our pre-mixed colors match any of the gel colors listed.

Master/Slave

The Master/Slave mode allows a group of Ovation B-565FC products (the slaves) to simultaneously duplicate the output of another Ovation B-565FC (the master) without a DMX controller.

To set each of the slaves:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level
2. Select Slave.

To set the master:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level
2. Select Master.
3. Select an auto program, as explained in Auto Programs, or a static setting.

• The master is the one that runs a program whether in Auto or Static mode.
• Do not connect a DMX controller to the products configured for Master/Slave operation. The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the master.
• The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.

Dimmer Curve

This setting determines the curve on which the output dims when you modify the output value.

1. Go to the Dimmer Curve main level.
2. Select a dimmer curve (S-Curve, Linear, Square, or Inverse Square).

S-Curve: The output follows an S-shaped curve.
Linear: The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer channel value.
Square: The output follows a square-law curve.
Inverse Square: The output follows an inverse square-law curve.

Dimmer Profiles

This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation B-565FC changes when you modify the output value. This setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.

1. Go to the Dimmer Mode main level.
2. Select a dimmer curve (Off, Dimmer 1, Dimmer 2, or Dimmer 3).

Off: The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer channel value.
Dimmer 1-3: The output follows the dimmer value based on the corresponding dimmer curve, DIM1 being the fastest.

White Balance

This setting determines the maximum output values for each color, which affects the appearance of a full output white.

1. Go to the White Balance main level.
2. Select Off (the product will use a default setting) or Manual.
3. For Manual mode, select the color value to edit (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, or Lime).
4. Set the maximum value for the selected color (000–255).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the product outputs as desired.
