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.

AC Power
Each Ovation Rêve E-3 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, 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.
· 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.
AC Plug
The Ovation Rêve E-3 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
The product supports power linking. It is possible to link up to 3 Ovation Rêve E-3 products at 100 V, 4 products at 120 V, 7 products at 208 V, or 8 products at 230/240 V. This product comes with a power input cord. Power- linking cables are available for purchase from Chauvet.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet. 2. Using a Phillips-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 6.3 A, 250 V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
!
Make sure to disconnect the product’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse. Always replace the blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.
DMX Linking
The Ovation Rêve E-3 can be linked to a DMX controller using a 3- and 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 uses a 3- and 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 to work in these personalities.
· The DMX 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 with
the manufacturer or the DMX controller’s User Manual, as not all DMX
controllers have this capability. The Ovation Rêve E-3 supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

SETUP
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation Rêve E-3 (the master) to control one
or more Ovation Rêve E-3 products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. Once
Ovation Rêve E-3 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.
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.
