AIRPAR COB QUAD

AIRPAR COB QUAD

AIRPAR COB QUAD

The AirPar COB QUAD includes an integrated W-DMX transceiver for instant wireless connectivity. This enables the AirPar to wirelessly control any Air Series fixture in the same wireless group. To achieve this, simply set an AirPar to Master and all other fixtures to Slave. Turn on wireless on all fixtures and set them to the same wireless group ID.

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 to Slave units which will react in synchronization. When a fixture is set into 'Slave Mode', this fixture will receive the Master signal.

To make a connection, simply set the AirHub and AirPar COB QUAD to the same group ID. Both units are set to ID01 in the example below.
