Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than
single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is
40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit
the overall intensity.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in this User
Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not open the housing

Setup
3. Setup
AC Power
The Ovation E-2 FC has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100
to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current
value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.
The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
AC Plug
The Ovation E-2 FC comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on
one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power cable which came with the
product has no plug, or if the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire a plug.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2. Using a flat-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.
Power Linking
The product supports power linking. It is possible to link up to 6 Ovation E-2 FC products at 100 V, 7
products at 120 V, 10 products at 208 V, or 12 products at 230/240 V. This product comes with a power
input cord. Power-linking cables are available for purchase from Chauvet.
DMX Linking
The Ovation E-2 FC can be linked to a DMX controller using a 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-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.
• 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-2 FC to work in these
personalities.
•TheDMX Channel Assignments and 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 E-2 FC supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure 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.

Setup
Ovation E-2 FC User Manual Rev. 1
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 update through USB 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.
2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed. Press
<ENTER>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in the
menu (Updated Firmware) and select from Only This Fixture, Multiple Fixture, or Other
Fixture Type.. A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message “Are you sure?” will be displayed. Press
<ENTER>.
4. If the selected file is correct, the update will be completed. Restart the product.
If the selected file is incorrect, the update will fail, and the display will go back to the main interface.
Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.
Soft Focus Filter
The Ovation E-2 FC 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.
Manual Zoom Control
The Ovation E-2 FC has a manual zoom and focus, which is adjusted as follows:
1. Locate the zoom and focus knobs at the bottom of the product.
2. Loosen the knobs by turning them counterclockwise.
3. Slide the lenses forward or backward until the desired zoom and focus/beam edge is achieved.
4. Tighten the knobs by turning them clockwise, which locks the lenses in position.
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.
•TheOperation 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 “Other Fixture Type” option can only be selected for connected products compatible
with the Upload 03 (the first 2 digits of the item code must be 03).
The product's USB port supports up to 32GB capacity and only works with FAT32 file
format.
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.
To avoid changing menu settings while focusing the Ovation E-2 FC, press and hold the
<FOCUS MODE> 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 <MENU>.

Virtual Color Wheel
The Ovation E-2 FC 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 premixed 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.
