BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. Before You Begin
What Is Included
Claims
Carefully unpack the product immediately and check the container to make sure all the parts are in the
package and are in good condition.
If the box or the contents (the product and included accessories) appear damaged from shipping, or show
signs of mishandling, notify the carrier immediately, not Chauvet. Failure to report damage to the carrier
immediately may invalidate customer’s claim. In addition, keep the box and contents for inspection.
For other issues, such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping, or concealed
damage, file a claim with Chauvet within 7 days of delivery.
Manual Conventions
Symbols
FCC Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 Part B of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Warning for North America and Australia
Warning! This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between
the radiator and the user. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Expected LED Lifespan
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.

SETUP
Ovation Rêve E-3 IP User Manual Rev. 3
3. Setup
AC Power
Each Ovation Rêve E-3 IP has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of 100
to 240 V~, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each Ovation Rêve E-3 IP, 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.
AC Plug
The Ovation Rêve E-3 IP comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon IP65
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.
Power Linking
It is possible to power link Ovation Rêve E-3 IP products. See the table below for the current draw at each
voltage and frequency:
Never exceed 12A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.
DMX Linking
The Ovation Rêve E-3 IP can be linked to a DMX controller using a 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 Rêve E-3 IP uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1Ch, 5Ch, 6Ch, 8Ch, 12Ch, 14Ch1,
14Ch2, 18Ch, 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 Rêve E-3 IP to work in these
personalities.
•TheDMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX personalities.
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 with the manufacturer or the DMX controller’s User
Manual, as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation Rêve E-3 IP 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). 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.
