Frequently Asked Questions - OVATIONE910FC-2 Chauvet Professional

What type of lighting fixture is the Ovation E-910FC?

The Ovation E-910FC is a full-color LED ERS-style lighting fixture (ellipsoidal reflector spotlight) designed for theatre, film, and production use. It features a RGBA-L color system (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, Lime) for smooth, high-quality color mixing.

What is the LED configuration and expected lifespan?

The fixture uses 91 LEDs in total: 18 red, 18 green, 19 blue, 18 amber, and 18 lime green. The average LED lifespan is 50,000 hours. To maximize longevity, ensure proper ventilation and avoid running the LEDs at full intensity for extended periods.

How many DMX channels does the Ovation E-910FC support?

The Ovation E-910FC offers 9 DMX personalities: 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 16 channels, plus an HSV mode (hue, saturation, value) using 3 channels. This allows flexible integration with a wide range of DMX controllers.

How do I set the DMX starting address?

Navigate to the DMX Address main menu on the product's control panel. Select a starting address between 001 and 512. The highest address is restricted by the chosen DMX personality; for example, in 16Ch mode the maximum is 497 so that multiple units can be addressed without overlap.

What is the Virtual Color Wheel and how do I use it?

The Virtual Color Wheel is a built-in library of over 30 preset colors that closely match popular gel colors. You can access it through the control panel or via a dedicated DMX channel in certain personalities. Select a color and adjust the dimmer values (0-255) to achieve the desired look with consistent results.

How do I perform a factory reset or check system information?

The Ovation E-910FC does not have a factory reset menu, but you can view system information in the Information menu, including fixture hours, LED hours, firmware version, and UID. This is useful for maintenance planning and remote management via RDM.

How do I replace the fuse?

First, disconnect power from the fixture. Use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder cap located on the back panel. 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 in and reconnect power.

Can I run multiple Ovation E-910FC units without a DMX controller?

Yes, use Master/Slave mode. Configure one unit as the master and the others as slaves. The master will run an auto program or static color, and the slaves will follow in unison. Remember not to connect a DMX controller in this mode, as it may cause signal interference.

What maintenance is required to keep the Ovation E-910FC in good shape?

Regular cleaning is recommended at least twice a month. Unplug the fixture, let it cool to room temperature, then use a vacuum or dry compressed air to remove dust from vents and surfaces. Clean optical surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol applied to a soft lint-free cloth.

What are the key safety precautions for mounting this fixture overhead?

Always mount the fixture with a safety cable attached to the designated safety loop. Ensure the mounting structure and clamps can support the weight (15.4 lb / 7.1 kg without lens tube). Keep at least 20 in (50 cm) of clearance from flammable materials. The housing gets hot during operation, so allow adequate ventilation and avoid contact.

It is possible to power link Ovation E-910FC products. See the table below for the current draw at each voltage and frequency:

	100 V, 60 Hz	120 V, 60 Hz	208 V, 60 Hz	230 V, 50 Hz	240 V, 50 Hz
Current Draw	2.17 A	1.79 A	1.03 A	0.94 A	0.91 A

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

DMX Linking

The Ovation E-910FC can be linked to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with this product, it's possible to control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The Ovation E-910FC uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for its 9 DMX personalities, ranging from 1Ch to 16Ch.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation E-910FC to work in these personalities.
• The DMX Channel Assignments and Values 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-910FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation E-910FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation E-910FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation E-910FC becomes the master when running an auto 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.

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.

The Ovation E-910FC comes with an adjustable yoke for mounting in low-clearance areas. To modify the height of the yoke, do the following:

1. Loosen the yoke adjustment knobs.
2. On each side of the product remove the 2 bolts attaching the plate to the yoke.
3. Adjust the position of the yoke to one of the 2 mounting points.
4. Put the bolts back in place, and tighten them and the yoke adjustment knobs.

Manual Beam Focus Control

The Ovation E-910FC 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 counterclockwise.
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 locks the lens tube's position.

To avoid changing menu settings while focusing the Ovation E-910FC, 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

  • To remove the soft-focus filter, gently squeeze and slide the filter out from under the four filter holders.

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 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 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.
• Do not use the soft-focus filter with gobos or large shutter cuts. Doing so will cause excessive heat reflection onto the filter, causing it to melt and warp. This filter is intended to eliminate LED imaging (skittles) when directly viewing the lens.

Virtual Color Wheel

The Ovation E-910FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This feature is available as a standalone control mode for manual use and as a control channel in select DMX personalities. More than 30 colors, custom blended by Chauvet engineers, are available to call up for easier programming.

The DMX values used to mix these colors are provided below. The overall intensity of the Ovation fixture can be adjusted to more closely replicate familiar industry-standard colors. A chart is available at www.chauvetprofessional.com to compare Chauvet's premixed colors with popular gel colors. This chart is for comparison purposes only and is not an assertion that Chauvet's premixed colors match any of the gel colors listed.

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.
