If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.
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.

3. Setup
AC Power
Each Ovation F-415VW 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-415VW, refer to the label
affixed to the product or to the Technical Specifications
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 (a 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-415VW 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 the
product has no plug, or if the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire the new plug.

.
Power Linking
The product supports power linking. It is possible to power link up to12 products at 120 V, up to 21
products at 208 V, or up to 23 products at 230 V. This product comes with a power input cord. Powerlinking cables are available for purchase from Chauvet.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2. Using a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (T 3.15 A, 250 V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Make sure to disconnect the product’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse.
Always replace the blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.
DMX Linking
The Ovation F-415VW can be linked to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. If using other
DMX-compatible products with this product, it is possible to control each individually with a single DMX
controller.
DMX Personalities
The Ovation F-415VW uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 2Ch, 5Ch, 7Ch, 7Ch2, 10Ch, 14Ch,
17Ch, and 19Ch DMX personalities.

•The DMX Values
For 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: www.chauvetprofessional.com
section provides detailed information regarding the DMX personalities.
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-415VW supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation F-415VW (the master) to control one or more Ovation F415VW products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation F-415VW becomes the master when
running an auto or custom program, or by being in a Static mode.
Each slave’s control panel must be configured 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.
• For 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:
www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.
For CHAUVET Professional line of mounting clamps, go to: http://trusst.com/products/
Orientation
Always mount this product in a safe position, ensuring that there is adequate room for ventilation,
configuration, and maintenance.
Rigging
Chauvet recommends using the following general guidelines when mounting this product:
• Before deciding on a location for the product, make sure there is easy access to the product for
maintenance and programming purposes.
• Make sure that the structure onto which the product will be mounted can support the product’s
weight. See the Technical Specifications
• When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a
rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
• When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity.
• When power linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for power-linking cables to reach.
• The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the desired
angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the knobs.
for weight information.
Procedure
The Ovation F-415VW comes with a double-bracketed yoke that can be used as a floor stand or to which
mounting clamps can be attached for hanging. Mounting clamps must be purchased separately. Ensure that the
clamps can support the weight of this product. Use at least one mounting point per product where necessary.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
5. Technical Information
Product Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean this product frequently. Usage and
environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
Clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
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.
