•This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture. (IP20)
•CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g. cold
truck to warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the
product. To avoid causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding
environment before connecting it to power.
•Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from
adjacent surfaces.

higher temperature.
•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product may require service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in clusters,
LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-
LED conditions. For this
reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan.
Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan
is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product and
reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

4. OPERATION
Barrel
The barrel is the section of the OVATION™ Min-E-10WW where the gobo holder slot and
framing shutters are. The lens tube is also attached here.
Rotating the
Barrel Assembly
The OVATION™ ED-190WW allows manual rotation of the barrel assembly, as follows.
1. Locate the barrel rotation knobs at the top and bottom of the reflector housing.
2. Loosen the knobs by turning them counter-clockwise.
•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 lock the barrel’s position.
Make sure the barrel assembly is oriented with the gobo holder slot
at the top of the
product.
Framing Shutters
Use the framing shutters to tighten and shape the beam of the OVATION™ Min-E-10WW, or
open them completely to allow the full beam to pass.
Gobo Holder Slot
The gobo holder slot has a sliding cover and is located in front of the top framing shutter. The
cover can either block the slot completely when the gobo holder is not inserted, or lock the gobo
holder in place. Use a phillips head screwdriver to loosen or tighten the cover.
Gobo Holder
The OVATION™ Min-E-10WW comes with a removable gobo holder. Care must be taken when
removing or inserting the gobo holder. Follow the guidelines below when changing gobos:
•Always insert the gobo holder with the handle facing towards the front of the product. The
heads of the rivets will also be facing the front of the product.
•Pull back the framing shutter assembly directly behind the gobo holder slot for easier
insertion and removal.
•Do not insert the gobo holder backwards.

5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Product
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product frequently.
Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
As a rule, clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-
up reduces light output
performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and
increased mechanical wear.
To clean your product:
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 vents.
4. Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
7. Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
Cleaning the
Reflector Housing
Lens
The lens inside the primary housing may need periodic cleaning. To gain access to this lens, do
the following.
1. Separate the reflector housing from the barrel assembly by unscrewing the barrel rotation
knobs.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the lens from its fixed cover, if necessary.
3. Clean the lens as described in Product Maintenance.
•Take great care not to damage the LED and circuit board, which will now be exposed
inside the reflector housing.
•Always close the framing shutters when transporting or storing the product.
To remove the lens tube, unscrew the beam focus knobs. Follow any maintenance and
cleaning instructions supplied with the lens tube.
