Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ColorKey AirPar HEX 4!

The AirPar is part of the ColorKey Air Series, an ecosystem of battery-powered, wireless DMX lighting fixtures, with a wireless DMX hub for greater control and connectivity options.

All Air Series fixtures also include an integrated W-DMX transceiver for instant wireless connectivity. This enables any Air Series fixture to wirelessly control your entire Air Series rig.

It's now easier than ever to fill a room with color by simply setting all the fixtures to the same wireless group ID and watch them automatically connect and synchronize.

Power & Charging

The AirPar HEX 4 features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for wire free use. The battery can power the light for up to 20 hours from a full charge.

An adaptive power supply with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz is also included.

The battery charges whenever the included power cable is connected and plugged into a power source. If the product is plugged in and not in operation, make sure the product is turned off.

The indicators on the LED Menu Display show how much battery life remains available.

Setup Examples

Master / Slave

AIRBAR HEX 6 AIRBAR HEX 6

The AirPar HEX 4 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.

AirHub DMX

AIRHUB DMX

AIRBAR HEX 6 AIRBAR HEX 6

The AirHub DMX (available separately) is the central hub used to remotely control all Air Series fixtures. It is a battery powered wireless DMX transceiver with 16 wireless groups (00-15) and features built-in presets including static colors, auto, fade, and sound active mode.

To make a connection, simply set the AirHub DMX and AirPar HEX 4 to the same group ID. Both units are set to ID01 in the example below.

    A --> C["AIRHUB DMX"]
    B --> D["AIRBAR HEX 6"]
    C --> E["AIRBAR HEX 6"]

The AirPar HEX 4 can connect to any DMX controller using standard 3-pin DMX cables, or wirelessly using the AirHub DMX. AirPars connected to a DMX controller via the AirHub can still be addressed independently.

The AirPar can also transmit wireless DMX to most 2.4ghz enabled W-DMX lights outside of the Air Series ecosystem through group ID 0-5 (such as the ColorKey MobilePar Mini HEX 4). Simply scroll through the wireless bands on your lights until a signal connection is made with the AirPar.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solutions
No DMX control	Confirm the Wireless Group ID is the same as the transmitterMake sure the fixture is in DMX modeMake sure wireless is enabled on your AirBar, or that a DMX cable is properly connected to your controller.
Fixture does not respond to sound	Make sure the fixture is in Sound Active mode.
IR remote will not respond	The IR remote will not respond to any inputs when the Black Out mode is enabled. If the remote is not responding when a button is pressed, try pressing (Black Out). It may already be in Black Out Mode thus rendering the light dark.
