AC Power
Each Ovation P-56FC 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 P-56FC, refer to the label
affixed to the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in this manual. The listed
current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For more information,
download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website:
..
AC Plug
The Ovation P-56FC comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik powerCON A connector on
one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. 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 9 products at 120 V; up to 16 at 208 V; or up
to 17 at 230 V. This product comes with a power input cord. Power-linking cables are available from
Chauvet for purchase.
DMX Linking
You can link the Ovation P-56FC 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.

DMX personalities.
•
Refer to the Introduction for a brief description of each DMX personality.
•
Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation P-56FC to work in these
personalities.
•
The DMX Values 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 P-56FC supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Ovation P-56FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation P-56FC
products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation P-56FC 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.
•
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (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.

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.
