Product Overview

Product Dimensions

Setup

AC Power

• Each Ovation CYC 1 FC 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 CYC 1 FC, 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 (fuse or circuit breaker). 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 CYC 1 FC comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic® Powerkon® A 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. You can power link up to 12 Ovation CYC 1 FC products at 120 V, up to 21 products at 208 V, or up to 23 products at 230 V. The Ovation CYC 1 FC comes with a power input cord. Power-linking cables are available for purchase from Chauvet.

DMX Linking
The Ovation CYC 1 FC can be linked to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with this product, each can be controlled individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities
The Ovation CYC 1 FC uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for its nine DMX personalities 1Ch, 3Ch, 5Ch, 7Ch, 10Ch, 12Ch, 13Ch, 16Ch, and HSV:

• Refer to the Introduction for a brief description of each DMX personality.
• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation CYC 1 FC to work in these personalities.
• The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX personalities.
  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.

Master/Slave Connectivity

• The Master/Slave mode allows a Ovation CYC 1 FC (the master) to control one or more
• Ovation CYC 1 FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation CYC 1 FC becomes the master when running in auto show or VCW modes.
• 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.

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 CYC 1 FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Configuration (Standalone)

Use standalone configuration to operate the product without a DMX controller.

Auto Programs
Auto programs allow for dynamic RGBAL color mixing without a DMX controller.

1. Go to the Auto Show main level.
2. Select the desired auto (Auto 1–5).
3. Select the desired speed (Speed 001–100).
   The auto programs cannot be edited.

Red Shift
The Red Shift function allows the light in the fixture to mimic halogen lamp dimming. To enable or disable the Red Shift function:

1. Go to the Red Shift main level.
2. Select from On (enables Red Shift) or Off (disables Red Shift).

Master/Slave

• The Master/Slave mode allows a group of Ovation CYC 1 FC products (the slaves) to simultaneously duplicate the output of another Ovation CYC 1 FC (the master) without a DMX controller.
• To set each of the slaves:
  1. Go to the Master/Slave main level.
  2. Select Slave.
• To set the master:
  1. Go to the Master/Slave main level.
  2. Select Master.
  3. Select an auto program (see Auto Programs or Virtual Color Wheel Chart).
  • The master is the one that runs a program whether in Auto Program or VCW modes.
  • Do not connect a DMX controller to the products configured for Master/Slave operation. The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the master.
  • The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.

White Balance
This setting allows for selection of the white balance shown by the Ovation CYC 1 FC when the color setting is RGBAL and the DMX controller’s red, green, blue, amber, and lime faders are set to 255.

1. Go to the White Balance main level.
2. Select Manual to continue to adjust the white balance or Off to default to the original factory setting.
3. Select a color (Red, Green, Blue, Amber or Lime).
4. Select a color value (125–255).
5. Repeat for the other colors.
   The values of Red, Green, Blue, Amber and Lime configured will define the color temperature shown when the RGBAL faders are set to 255.

Virtual Color Wheel
The Virtual Color Wheel mode allows for preset popular colors RGBAL color mixing without a DMX controller.

1. Go to the Virtual Color Wheel main level.
2. Select Virtual Color Wheel.
3. Select the desired color from the Virtual Color Wheel Chart.
4. Press twice.
5. Select the Dimmer value (000–255).
6. Press .

2. Select Color Temperature.
3. Select the Dimmer value (000–255).
4. Select the desired color temperature.

Manual Color Mixer
The Manual Color Mixer mode allows for permanent RGBAL color mixing without a DMX controller.

1. Go to the Virtual Color Wheel main level.
2. Select Manual Color Mixer.
3. Select the desired color (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, or Lime).

Dimmer Curve
To set the dimmer curve on the Ovation CYC 1 FC:

1. Go to the Dimmer Curve main level.
2. Select the dimmer curve (S Curve, Linear, Index Curve, or Log Curve).

Dimmer Profiles
This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation CYC 1 FC changes when you modify the values of the red, green, blue, amber, lime, and dimmer faders. This setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.

• Go to the Dimmer Mode main level.
• Select a dimmer curve (OFF, Dimmer 1, Dimmer 2, or Dimmer 3).
  • OFF: The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer and RGBAL channel values.
  • Dimmer 1-3: The output follows the dimmer and RGBAL channel values based on the corresponding dimmer curve, DIM1 being the fastest.

White Balance
This function allows users to manually configure the white balance settings

1. Go to the White Balance main level.
2. Select Off (factory-default white setting) or Manual (manually adjust RGBAL settings).
3. For Manual settings, select the desired color (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, or Lime).
4. Select the color value (125–255).
5. Repeat for the other colors.
