Turning off the power, removing the USB, or not setting the fixture to the correct protocol
during the update can cause partial or total firmware failure in the targeted fixture(s).
Please refer to Force Upload section to fix firmware failure issues.

Force Upload
A Force Upload is done whenever a software update fails due to accidental removal of the USB flash drive,
incorrect control protocol, or loss of power during a regular software update process.
• A Force Upload process requires a target fixture (the fixture that needs a Force Upload
and a main fixture (the fixture that controls the upload process).
• The Force Upload process can only be done one target fixture at a time.
To do a Force Upload, follow the instructions below:
1. Link the target fixture to the main fixture via a DMX 5-pin connection. Ensure that the target fixture

Soft Focus Filter
The Ovation E-4WW IP comes with a soft focus filter. To keep the soft focus filter in good condition:• Ensure that no fingerprints are left on the filter, as this may cause the filter to heat unevenly andeventually warp.
• When placing the filter in the holder, follow the orientation direction printed on the filter.
• When inserting shutter blades into the light path, note that the heat is reflected back at the filter. The
deeper the blades are inserted, and the longer the fixture runs, the more heat gets reflected on to
the filter, causing it to warp and potentially adhere to the shutter blades.
If there is a protective film on the soft-focus filter, it must be removed before use. The filter
is in a holder in the metal gobo slot.

Manual Beam Focus Control
The Ovation E-4WW IP has a manual focus, which is adjusted as follows:
1. Locate the focus knobs at the bottom of the product.

Maintenance

5. Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of
the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean
each lighting product at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions
could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
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 externalsurface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
