Frequently Asked Questions - WaferPar Hex 5 ColorKey

How do I set the DMX address on the WaferPar Hex 5?

Press MENU to enter the menu, then use UP/DOWN to navigate to d001 (6-channel mode) or A001 (10-channel mode). Press ENTER, then use UP/DOWN to set the address (001-512), and press ENTER to confirm.

How do I set up Master/Slave mode?

Connect multiple fixtures via DMX cables. On the master unit, set it to a standalone mode (e.g., Auto or Sound Active) and do not connect a DMX controller. On slave units, set them to DMX mode with the same address or to a mode that responds to master signal. Ensure no DMX controller is connected to avoid interference.

What should I do if the fixture does not respond to DMX?

Check that the DMX cable is properly connected and not damaged. Ensure the controller is operational and the fixture is set to DMX mode (d001 or A001). Verify DMX address matches the controller. If using a long DMX run (over 60 m) or more than 32 units, use a signal amplifier.

How do I clean the fixture?

Disconnect power and let the fixture cool for at least 15 minutes. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the housing.

Can I use the WaferPar Hex 5 outdoors?

No, this fixture is rated IP20 and is for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or dust may cause damage.

How do I activate sound-active mode?

Press MENU until you reach SU01 to SU09 on the display. Use UP/DOWN to select the desired sound-active effect. The fixture will react to ambient sound via the built-in microphone.

What is the warranty period for this product?

ColorKey offers a 1-year limited warranty. Register your product at www.ColorKeyLED.com for warranty service.

How do I connect multiple fixtures for synchronized operation?

Use DMX cables to daisy-chain fixtures. Set the first fixture as Master in a standalone mode (e.g., Auto or Sound Active) without a DMX controller. Set the remaining fixtures as Slaves in DMX mode with any address. Avoid connecting a DMX controller in Master/Slave mode.

What do the different DMX channel modes (6CH and 10CH) do?

In 6-channel mode, channels control Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and UV individually. In 10-channel mode, channel 1 is master dimmer, channels 2-7 are individual colors, channel 8 is strobe, channel 9 is macro functions, and channel 10 controls macro speed.

How do I change the color or effect manually without DMX?

Use the menu to navigate to CL01 (color change), CC99 (color jump), DE99 (color fade), or CP99 (color pulse). Adjust speed with UP/DOWN. You can also manually set RGBWA+UV levels via r255, G255, b255, u255, y255, P255 menus.

Master/Slave Mode Operation

Master/Slave

Master/Slave mode allows you to connect multiple units together using one (1) unit to control others in a chain. When a fixture is set to Master Mode, this unit will always act as a controlling unit until it is switched out of Master Mode. The Master unit will send out signal via DMX to Slave units which will react in synchronization. When a fixture is set into Slave Mode, this fixture will receive the Master signal. To avoid master signal and DMX signal interference, do not connect DMX when using Master/Slave mode. If using a DMX run longer than 60 meters and/or over 32 units, a signal amplifier may be required.

DMX Connections

DMX Cable:

The WaferPar HEX 5 can be controlled via DMX using a 3-pin XLR connection. The standard DMX connection is XLR is: one end connects to the male plug, and the other connects to the female. As below: pin 1: ground, pin 2: negative signal, pin 3: positive signal

XLR Pin Configuration

Pin 1 = Ground

Pin 2 = Data Compliment (negative)

Pin 3 = Data True (positive)

Noted: In order to avoid failures and interference signal transmission, we connect a resistance120Ω (1/4W) at the end of the DMX connecting as below:

Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

The Conversion between 3 pin and 5 pin XLR

If the output cable of DMX512 controller is the 5PIN, please use 1pc 5PIN to 3PIN cable
