DMX Linking

The Ovation E-2 FC can be linked to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. If using other DMXcompatible products with this product, it's possible to control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The Ovation E-2 FC uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1 Ch, 4 Ch, 5 Ch, 7 Ch, 11 Ch, 13 Ch1, 13 Ch2, 17 Ch, and HSV DMX personalities.

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.

Remote Device Management

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bidirectionally 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 E-2 FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation E-2 FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation E-2 FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. Once Ovation E-2 FC becomes the master when running an auto or custom program, or in 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.

USB Software Update

The Ovation E-2 FC allows for software updates with a USB device using the built-in USB port. To update the software using a USB flash drive, do the following:

  1. Power on the product, and plug the flash drive into the USB port.

Standalone Configuration

Static Mode

The static mode options under Virtual Color Wheel also include preset color temperatures and a manual color mixer.

Virtual Color Wheel

To select from the Virtual Color Wheel:

  1. Go to the Virtual Color Wheel main level.
  2. Select the Virtual Color Wheel option.
  3. Select the desired virtual gel color (see the Virtual Color Wheel Chart).
  4. Set the Dimmer value (0–255).

Color Temperature

To select a preset color temperature:

  1. Go to the Virtual Color Wheel main level.
  2. Select the Color Temperature option.
  3. Select the desired color temperature (see the Color Temperature Chart).
  4. Set the Dimmer value (0–255).
  5. If desired, set the Hue value (-25–25).

Manual Color Mixer

To manually mix a custom static color:

  1. Go to the Virtual Color Wheel main level.
  2. Select Manual Color Mixer.
  3. Select the color to edit (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, or Lime).
  4. Set the value for the selected color (0–255).
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until product outputs as desired.

Auto Show

To select an automatic program:

  1. Go to the Auto Show main level.
  2. Select the desired auto program (Auto 1–5).
  3. Set the Speed value (1–100).

Settings Configuration

Red Shift

The Red Shift function imitates the dimming of a halogen lamp. To toggle Red Shift:

  1. Go to the Red Shift main level.
  2. Select On or Off.

Master/Slave

The Master/Slave mode allows a group of Ovation E-2 FC products (the slaves) to simultaneously duplicate the output of another Ovation E-2 FC (the master) without a DMX controller. To set each of the slaves:

  1. Go to the Master/Slave main level
  2. Select Slave.

To set the master:

  1. Go to the Master/Slave main level
  2. Select Master.
  3. Select a standalone setting.

Dimmer Curve

To set the dimmer curve:

  1. Go to the Dimmer Curve main level.
  2. Select the desired option (SCurve, Linear, Square, or Inverse Square).

Dimmer Profile

This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation E-2 FC 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.

Color Calibration

This setting determines the maximum output values for each color, which affects the appearance of the total color output.

  1. Go to the Color Calibration main level.
  2. Select Off (LED values will be linear/uncalibrated), User Calibration, or Factory Calibration.
  3. For User Calibration mode, select the color value to edit (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, or Lime Green).
  4. Set the maximum value for the selected color (125–255).
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the product outputs as desired.

Pulse Width Modulation

To set the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequency of the LEDs on the Ovation E-2 FC:

  1. Go to the LED Frequency main level.
  2. Select the PWM Frequency (600Hz, 1200Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, 6000Hz, or 25Khz).

5. Maintenance

Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source's life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean each lighting product at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency. To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

  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 surface/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.
