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 FD-205WW supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Ovation FD-205WW (the master) to control one or more Ovation FD-
205WW products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation FD-205WW 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.
Dimmer Modes
The Ovation FD-205WW may be plugged into and controlled using a regular dimmer.
•
When in
SENS
mode, advanced onboard electronics automatically detect what type of power and
data the product receives and it responds accordingly. This is the factory default setting.
•
When in
DMX
mode, the product runs only on constant power and is controlled solely on DMX. The
product will not respond to dimmer control in this mode.
•
When in
DMMR
mode, DMX control is turned off. Intensity is controlled using a dimmer. In this
mode, the product reacts exactly like an incandescent product.
For the best performance while running on dimmers, use the settings listed below:
1.
Go to the
SETTING
main level.
2.
Select the
DIMMER
programming level.
3.
Select
DIM4
.
4.
Go back to
SETTING
main level.
5.
Select the
CURVE
programming level.
6.
Select
CURVE3
.
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.
•
section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the master and slaves.
