Setup

AC Power
The Ovation Rêve F-3 IP has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure 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 F-3 IP comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power cable which came with the product has no plug, or if it is necessary to change the plug, use the table below to wire a plug.

Power Linking
It is possible to power link Ovation Rêve F-3 IP products. See the table below for the current draw at each voltage and frequency:

| 100 V, 60 Hz| 120 V, 60 Hz| 208 V, 60 Hz| 230 V, 50 Hz| 240 V, 50 Hz
---|---|---|---|---|---
Current Draw| 5.35 A| 4.46 A| 2.56 A| 2.24 A| 2.19 A

Never exceed 12 A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.

DMX Linking
The Ovation Rêve F-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’s possible to control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities
The Ovation Rêve F-3 IP uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1 Ch, 5 Ch, 6 Ch, 8 Ch, 12 Ch, 14 Ch1, 14 Ch2, 18 Ch, and HSV DMX personalities.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ovation Rêve F-3 IP to work in these personalities.
• The DMX Channel Assignments and 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 (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 Rêve F-3 IP supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation Rêve F-3 IP (the master) to control one or more Ovation Rêve F-3 IP products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation Rêve F-3 IP becomes the master when running an auto 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.
