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.

Master/Slave

The Master/Slave mode allows a group of Ovation F-415VW products (the slaves) to simultaneously duplicate the output of another Ovation F-415VW (the master) without a DMX controller. To set each of the slaves:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level

2. Select Slave.

• 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

To set the dimmer curve, follow the instructions below:

1. Go to the Dimmer Curve main level.

2. Select the desired option (Linear, Square, I Squa, or SCurve).

Dimmer Profiles

This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation F-415VW changes when the output value is modified. It provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product. To select a specific dimmer profile, do the following:

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, Dimmer 1 being the fastest.

To clean the product:

1. Unplug the product from power.

2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.

3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external vents.

4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.

5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.

6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.

7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
