Frequently Asked Questions - Ovation E 930VW Chauvet Professional

How do I set the DMX starting address on the Ovation E-930VW?

Go to the DMX Address main level on the control panel, then set the starting address between 001 and 512. The highest recommended address depends on the DMX personality: for 3Ch, it is 510; for 18Ch, it is 495. Ensure that addresses on different products do not overlap.

What DMX personalities are available and what do they control?

The Ovation E-930VW supports 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, and 18 channels. The 3-channel mode controls dimmer, color temperature, and hue. The 18-channel mode provides full 16-bit control over all colors, dimmer, strobe, color temperature, hue, and control functions. Refer to the DMX Values section in the manual for specific channel assignments.

How can I reset the product to factory defaults?

Navigate to the Reset Factory main level on the menu. Select Yes to restore all settings to their factory default values. Select No to cancel. This is useful when troubleshooting or before reconfiguring the fixture.

How should I clean the Ovation E-930VW?

Disconnect the product from power and wait until it reaches room temperature. Use a vacuum or dry compressed air with a soft brush to remove dust from vents. Clean transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol applied to a soft, lint-free cloth. Dry surfaces carefully before use. Clean at least twice a month.

How do I replace the fuse?

Disconnect the product from the power outlet. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing. Remove the blown fuse and replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating: T 3.15 A, 250 V. Screw the cap back and reconnect power.

Can I use different lens tubes with this fixture?

Yes, the Ovation E-930VW is compatible with industry-standard lens tubes sold separately. Available options include 14°, 19°, 26°, 36°, 50°, 15°-30° and 25°-50° lens tubes. Each tube may require specific gel frame sizes (6.25 in or 7.5 in accessories).

How do I configure Master/Slave mode?

Set each slave unit to Slave mode in the Master/Slave menu. Set the master to Master and choose a static setting or program. The master will transmit its output to all slaves, causing them to operate in unison. Do not connect a DMX controller when using Master/Slave mode.

What is the Red Shift function and how do I use it?

The Red Shift function makes the amber LEDs mimic the dimming behavior of a halogen lamp, providing a warm glow at lower intensities. To enable it, go to the Red Shift main level and select On. When off, dimming remains linear.

How can I adjust the white balance?

In the White Balance menu, you can either select Off to use the factory default white setting, or choose Manual to individually set the maximum output levels of red, orange, green, royal blue, blue, and lime from 125 to 255. This adjusts the appearance of full-output white.

What is the expected LED lifespan and how can I extend it?

The average LED lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend lifespan, ensure proper ventilation around the fixture and avoid running the LEDs at full intensity for extended periods. The Ovation E-930VW uses a clustered LED system, which generates more heat, so maintaining airflow is important.

AC Power

Each Ovation E-930VW 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 E-930VW, refer to the label affixed to the product or 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: 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 E-930VW 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.

Connection	Wire (U.S.)	Wire (Europe)	Screw Color
AC Live	Black	Brown	Yellow or Brass
AC Neutral	White	Blue	Silver
AC Ground	Green/Yellow	Green/Yellow	Green

Power Linking

It is possible to power link Ovation E-930VW products. See the table below for the current draw at each voltage and frequency:

	120 V, 60 Hz	208 V, 60 Hz	230 V, 50 Hz
Current Draw	2 A	1.2 A	1 A

Never exceed 12A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2. Using a Phillips-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 E-930VW can be linked to a DMX controller using a 3- and 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 E-930VW uses a 3- and 5-pin DMX data connection for the 3Ch, 5Ch, 6Ch, 8Ch, 11Ch, 15Ch, and 18Ch 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 E-930VW to work in these personalities.
- The Standalone Configuration section provides detailed information regarding the 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, 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 E-930VW supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation E-930VW (the master) to control one or more Ovation E-930VW products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation E-930VW 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 and attachment points can support the weight before hanging the product (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.

Procedure

The Ovation E-930VW 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.

Mounting Diagram

Manual Beam Focus Control

The Ovation E-930VW has a manual focus, which is adjusted as follows:

1. Locate the beam focus knobs at the top and bottom of the barrel assembly.
2. Loosen the knobs by turning them counter-clockwise.
3. Slide the lens tube forward or backward until the desired focus or beam edge is achieved.
4. Tighten the knobs by turning them clockwise, which lock the lens tube's position.

To avoid changing menu settings while focusing the Ovation E-930VW, press and hold the button for 3 seconds. This will put the product in Focus Mode, by increasing the intensity to 100%. To exit out of focus mode, press

.

Rotating the Barrel Assembly

The Ovation E-930VW allows manual rotation of the barrel assembly, as follows:

1. Locate the barrel rotation knobs at the top and bottom of the light engine.
2. Loosen the knobs by turning them counterclockwise. (Note: Do not remove the knobs.)
3. Rotate the barrel to the desired position, up to 25° in either direction from the centered position.
4. Tighten the knobs by turning them clockwise, which locks the barrel's position.

Ensure that the barrel assembly is oriented with the pattern holder and accessory slots at the top of the product.

Accessory Slot

The Ovation E-930VW has an accessory slot, which holds a drop-in iris, a motorized pattern device, or various other optional accessories (sold separately).

1. Loosen the thumbscrews on the slot cover. (Note: Do not remove the thumbscrews).
2. Slide to cover forward.
3. Insert an accessory. (Note: Make sure to insert the accessory correctly, i.e., the iris handle extends upward from the slot.)
4. Slide the cover back. Make sure any handles or adjustment tools that stick out the top are able to function correctly.
5. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the cover.

Accessory Slot Cover

Sample Drop-in Iris

• When not using the accessory slot, replace and secure the slot cover to prevent light leakage during operation.
• When obtaining any optional accessories, ensure that the items are compatible with the Ovation E-930VW.

Soft Focus Filter

The Ovation E-930VW comes with a soft focus filter. To keep the soft focus filter in good condition:

• Ensure that no fingerprints are left on the filter, as this may cause the filter to heat unevenly and eventually warp.
• When placing the filter in the holder, follow the orientation direction printed on the filter.
• When inserting shutter blades into the light path, note that the heat is reflected back at the filter. The deeper the blades are inserted, and the longer the fixture runs, the more heat gets reflected on to the filter, causing it to warp and potentially adhere to the shutter blades.

If there is a protective film on the soft-focus filter, it must be removed before use. The filter is in a holder in the metal gobo slot.

The lifespan and effectiveness of the Soft Focus Filter accessory included with this product will be negatively impacted by excessive reflected heat caused by the extended use of gobos, shutters, irises, and other beam shaping accessories. The filter is not covered by the limited warranty. Replacements are available for purchase.

Standalone Configuration

Use standalone configuration to operate the product without a DMX controller.

Static Mode

The Static mode allows for an unchanging color without a DMX controller.

Color Temperature

To select a color temperature, do the following:

1. Go to the Static main level.
2. Select Color Temperature
3. Select the desired color temperature (see Standalone Configuration).
4. Select the desired output level (0–255).

Manual Color Mixer

To do color mixing without a DMX controller, follow the instructions below:

1. Go to the Static main level.
2. Select Manual Color Mixer.
3. Select the color to edit (Red, Orange, Green, Royal Blue, Blue, or Lime Green).
4. Select the desired output level for that color (0–255).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until product outputs as desired.

Red Shift

The Red Shift function causes the amber LEDs to imitate the appearance of a halogen lamp when dimming. To adjust the Red Shift function, do the following:

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-930VW products (the slaves) to simultaneously duplicate the output of another Ovation E-930VW (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 static setting.

• The master is the one that runs a program whether in Auto or Static mode.
- Do not connect a DMX controller to the products configured for Master/Slave operation. The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the master.
• The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.

Dimmer Curve

To set the dimmer curve, follow the instructions below:

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

Dimmer Profiles

This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation E-930VW 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.

White Balance

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

1. Go to the White Balance main level.
2. Select Off (the product will use a default setting) or Manual.
3. For Manual mode, select the color value to edit (Red, Orange, Green, Royal Blue, Blue, 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.

LED Frequency

This option changes the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequency of the LEDs on the Ovation E-930VW. To do so, follow the instructions below:

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

Fan Mode

This setting determines how the fan speed on the Ovation E-930VW is set.

1. Go to the Fan Mode main level
2. Select Auto (fan speed will increase or decrease based on product temperature), Off (fan will stay off. Product output will decrease based on product temperature), Silent (fan will maintain a constant silent speed), or On (fan speed will always be at maximum).

NOTICE: When operating in Fan Mode: Off, the output of the fixture will be reduced and will not reach the same levels as when using other fan modes.

WARNING: When operating in Fan Mode: Off, the fixture will become hotter to the touch than when using other fan modes. Use proper protective equipment to prevent burns. Keep a safe distance from flammable objects.

Back Light

This setting allows for selection of the amount of time the backlight on the Ovation E-930VW's display stays on after the last button is pressed on the control panel.

1. Go to the Back Light main level.
2. Select 10S (10 seconds), 30S (30 seconds), 2Min (2 minutes), or Always On (remains on).

System Information

This option displays the total number of hours the product has run, the installed software version, and the product's UID.

1. Go to the Information main level.
2. Select Fixture Hours, LED Hours, Version, or UID.

Factory Reset

This option restores the Ovation E-930VW to factory default settings.

1. Go to the Reset Factory main level.
2. Select No or Yes.

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.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
