QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
DMX Linking
The Ovation FD-205WW will work with a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX serial connection. A DMX Primer is
available from
DMX Connection
The Ovation FD-205WW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for its DMX personalities:
UNO, DOS
and
STD.P
. See
the User Manual for information about connecting and configuring the product for DMX operation.
Master Control
The Ovation FD-205WW allows control of other Ovation FD-205WW products using a regular DMX data connection. See
the User Manual to configure for Master Control operation.
Master/Slave Connection
The Ovation FD-205WW uses the DMX data connection for its master/slave mode. See the User Manual for information
about how to connect and configure the product for master/slave operation.
RDM (Remote Device Management)
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 FD-205WW supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu
map options. Download the User Manual from
Dimmer/Zoom Control
The Ovation FD-205WW may be plugged into and controlled using a regular dimmer. In this mode, the product reacts
exactly like an incandescent product; however, the motorized zoom control on the control panel needs enough power
from the dimmer to run the motor. See the User Manual to configure Dimmer/Zoom Control operation.
