Safety Notes

Read all the following safety notes before working with this product. These notes contain important

information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.

Personal Safety

• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.

• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.

• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.

• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.

Mounting and Rigging

• This product is not intended for permanent installation.

• 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.

• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to this product while it is operating.

• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.

• Never carry the product by the power cord.

Power and Wiring

• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.

• Always make sure you are connecting this product to the proper voltage in accordance with the

specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.

• 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 this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.

• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.

• Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.

Operation

• Do not operate this product if there is damage on the housing, lenses, or cables. Have the damaged

parts replaced by an authorized technician at once.

• Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.

• The maximum ambient temperature is 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the product at higher temperatures.

• In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!

Expected LED Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in

clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered

LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this

lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by

improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting

the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

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 or attempt any repairs.

All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this

product.

If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

Each Ovation F-915VW 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 F-915VW, refer to the label

affixed to the product. You can also refer 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 F-915VW 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 your

product has no plug, or if you need the change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

Power Linking

The product supports power linking. You can power link up to 6 products at 120 V; up to 10 at 208 V; or up

to 12 at 230 V.

This product comes with a power input cord. Power linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase.

DMX Linking

You can link the Ovation F-915VW to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other

DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The Ovation F-915VW uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 4 Ch, 6 Ch, 7 Ch, 9 Ch, 13 Ch, 16

Ch, and 18 Ch DMX personalities.

• Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of each DMX personality.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation F-915VW to work in these personalities.

•The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the control 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 F-915VW supports RDM protocol

that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation F-915VW (the master) to control one or more Ovation F-915VW

products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation F-915VW becomes the master when running an

auto program, or by being in Static mode.

You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,

the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (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.

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

If you are not familiar with or need more 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.

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.

• If you are not familiar with or need 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.
