Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ColorKey AirPad QUAD! The AirPad 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 AirPad QUAD 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 adapter is connected and plugged into a power source. The light can be used while charging. If the light is plugged in and not in operation, make sure it is turned off. The indicators on the LED Menu Display show how much battery life remains available. The included power supply features a charging status LED. Red indicates that the battery is charging and green that charging is complete.

Setup Examples

Master / Slave
The AirPad QUAD include an integrated W-DMX transceiver for instant wireless connectivity. This enables the AirPad to wirelessly control any Air Series fixture in the same wireless group. To achieve this, simply set an AirPad 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
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 and AirPad QUAD to the same group ID. Both units are set to ID01 in the example below.

DMX Controller
For greater control of your AirPad, connect to any DMX controller via the AirHub DMX using standard 3-pin DMX cables, or to most DMX controllers with 2.4Ghz transmitters. AirPads connected to a DMX controller via the AirHub can still be addressed independently

Troubleshooting

transmitter

· Make sure the fixture is in DMX mode

· Make sure wireless is enabled on your AirPad

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.
