Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Ayra ComPar 2. This user-friendly wash light fixture enables you to create a
great atmosphere with various bright colours. The ComPar 2 features 4 RGB SMD 0 0 LEDs, ensuring
optimal short-distance colour mixing and wide-angle light projection. As such, the ComPar 2 is the perfect
way sublty light up any room, party tent or venue.
Read this user manual before you set up the device and familiarise yourself with the product and its
accessories. Also check the contents of the box for possible damage or missing parts.
If you encounter any problems during use, contact your local dealer for more information and help.
The ComPar 2 features a robust and compact housing, equipped with a double bracket that makes it easy to
suspend the fixture or place it on a floor. An infrared remote control allows you to select colour presets and
many other options without touching the display or menu buttons. The ComPar 2 has a wide range of built-in
colour presets, as well as colour fade/jump options. DMX and master/slave options are also available.
As the ComPar 2's SMD LEDs deliver a wide beam angle, they are ideal for smooth wash lighting, as well as
short-distance illumination of objects. This makes the ComPar 2 a great tool for lighting a dark DJ booth, or
for lighting up semi-transparent DJ booth panels.
The fixture's compact design allows for low-profile applications. Four rubber feet provide adequate support,
and because the connectors are located on the sides, the unit can be installed in a flat position. This also
helps to prevent cable management problems. Additional useful features include DMX connectors and power
daisy-chain options. The ComPar 2 is often used as a party light, and is often found in party rooms,
community centres, bars, dance studios, rollerskate rinks, bowling venues, etc.

Setting up the unit
To activate the unit, use the included power cable to connect it to a suitable 230V, 0Hz power outlet.
The device will need a few seconds to start up and will continue in the previously used mode. If that is the
DMX mode and no signal is detected, the fixture will switch to the last selected stand-alone mode.
The device can now be set as desired, using the menu display or the included remote control. The remote
control allows you to control the ComPar 2 when it's set to stand-alone mode, or when it's connected in a
master-slave setup. This way, standard colour presets, colour fades, sound-controlled modes, etc. can be
selected.
If you need additional options, the menu display and buttons can be used to select the right settings.
Use the display and the menu buttons underneath to set preferences, change settings and scroll through the
menu. “Enter” is used to save a certain setting or preset. Press “Menu” for at least 2 seconds to return to the
main menu.
The table below explains each feature and value.

SLND Select the right master or slave mode for the fixture. The standard mode is the master mode. Select
Slave mode 1 or 2 (2 is partially reversed in music-controlled mode), and the fixture will only follow signals
provided by the master fixture.
To use the master/slave mode, connect two ComPar 2 fixtures using a standard 3P XLR male - 3P XLR
female cable (not included). Connect the DMX output of the master to the DMX input of the slave unit.
Regardless of the mode selected on the master fixture (AutoRun, Sound-controlled), the slave will mimic the
actions.
NOTE please note that it is not possible to switch to any operating mode if the Slave mode is activated on
your fixture!
SHND The show modes grant access to the various stand-alone operating modes. A short explanation:
COLO: Colour presets, choose between 7 static colours.
RGBW: This product allows for RGB only. Set all dimmer levels individually to achieve a custom colour
preset.
JUMP: Colour jump, jumps directly from one colour preset to the next. Strobe can be set individually.
FADE: Colour fade, fades smoothly from one colour preset to the next. Strobe can be set individually.
SHOW: Sound-controlled mode
SOUN The sound status shows whether the unit's built-in microphone is activated or not. It can be enabled
or disabled in the menu with the ON/OFF selector.
SENS The sensitivity of the built-in microphone is adjustable, in order to optimise the built-in sound-
controlled mode. If your music source (speakers) is placed far away, for instance, it is possible to increase
the sensitivity, making sure that the fixture responds to the sound accurately. The sensitivity can be adjusted
from 0 to 100, 100 being the most sensitive.
LED LED display on/off. If you use this device in a club or theatre, the environment is usually dark.
Therefore, it is possible to shut off the LED menu display light when it is not in use. The default setting is ON,
which means that the LED display remains on all the time. Set to OFF, the display will switch off when it
hasn't been used for approximately one minute.
DISP Display flip function. Invert the display status, and the status of the buttons will also change. From the
correct reading position, Menu is always on the left and Enter is always on the right. This feature is
particularly practical if the device is suspended near a wall, so you cannot read the status easily.
TEST When this mode is selected, the unit tests each LED colour individually. During maintenance broken
LEDs can be easily spotted.
HOUR Service intervals are primarily used by rental companies and by users who use their fixtures
frequently. After a specific number of operating hours, the fixture is brought in for service, to check if all
components are in good shape and to fix any problems. This function displays the number of hours that the
product has been used.
VER Displays the firmware version that is installed on the PCB. Users cannot upload new firmware to this
fixture.
REST Resets the fixture without removing the power cables or switching the unit off.

Operating modes
The ComPar 2 offers various operating modes, each with its own advantages. For simple events there are
stand-alone modes, and for advanced situations it's possible to create synchronised light shows. You can
also control every feature of the ComPar 2 via DMX in various channel modes. A short description for each
mode can be found below:
Auto
Automatic and mostly stand-alone operating mode, where users can pick one of the various options, such as
static colours, colour fades or even custom colours.
Sound
Automatic light show with one of the pre-programmed internal shows in sync with the music, thanks to an
internal microphone that picks up the beat of the music and changes a step each time a beat is detected. Use
the Sens mode to change the sensitivity of the internal microphone, so it will respond optimally to the beat of
the music.
Slave
In master/slave mode, it is possible to link several ComPar 2 fixtures together, to create synchronised light
shows in the automatic or sound-controlled mode, or even with colour presets to save time. Set the first
fixture in the chain to the desired mode, and the other fixtures to Slave mode, so they will mimic the
behaviour of the first fixture. The master/slave function requires 3p XLR male - XLR female cables (not
included). Connect the DMX output of the master fixture to the DMX input of the second fixture (and from this
fixture to the next if needed).
DMX
The ComPar 2 can be connected to a DMX controller with standard 3p XLR male - XLR female cable. In DMX
mode, a DMX terminator must be connected to the last fixture at the end of the DMX chain to prevent
reflections in the DMX signal, which could cause flickering and unwanted behaviour from your intelligent
fixtures.
A DMX terminator is an XLR connector with a 120-ohm resistor placed between pin 2 and 3 as a bridge.
NOTE With the ComPar 2, it's possible to switch between various channel modes. For simple applications
that require a minimum amount of control, the 2CH mode is perfect. Users who wish to have ultimate control
over all of the ComPar 2's features can select the 6CH mode.

Installation and connection requirements
The Ayra ComPar 2 is a versatile product that can be used in many ways. To use this device as intended and
to be sure that it is used in a safe way, the following requirements must be met during the setup, installation
and connection.
Installing the system in a standing position
The ComPar 2 is used for lots of applications and can be placed directly on a flat surface such as a table,
floor or counter. Please ensure that the device is positioned safely and the power cord is installed properly.
Accidents may happen if the power cord is hanging freely and can be pulled by small children, causing the
device to fall down. Install the device securely and contact your local dealer or a skilled technician for the
best installation advice for permanent and mobile setups.
The device can be placed in a standing position for uplighting purposes, using either the integrated double
bracket or the rubber feet.
Installing the fixture in a suspended position
The ComPar 2 is equipped with a mounting bracket that makes it possible to install the device suspended
from a ceiling, wall or beam. Mounting hardware is not included, but available at your local hardware store.
Please make sure to select the right mounting hardware for the material. For example, wooden beams
require other hardware than a brick wall.
A safety cable must be used to secure the device if the device is installed in a suspended position. A safety
cable is not included, but can be purchased at your local dealer. The bracket knobs will hold the fixture if it
falls, so looping the safety cable through the mounting bracket is sufficient. If the mounting hardware should
fail for any reason, the device must not be permitted to fall more than 30 cm and the safety cable must be
able to carry 10x the weight of the unit.
Light source
The ComPar 2 uses 4 powerful SMD RGB LEDs to create an immense number of colours. The light source
cannot be replaced by the user. The device does not require cool down time after use before it is
transported. The ComPar 2 uses convection cooling and is not equipped with cooling fans. If the device is
used in a fixed installation, it can be disconnected from the power source or turned off. There are no fans
installed to cool the lamp, so a standby setting before shutdown is not required.
Do not look at the device's light source from short distance when it is in use. The human eye will adjust to the
bright beams and possibly create temporary blind spots. These will disappear after a short period of time and
will not cause permanent damage to the eye or permanent loss of vision, but can cause disorientation and
inconvenience.
To protect the user and the device from damage and/or injury, a plastic lens is placed in front of the SMD
LEDs. It is therefore not possible to actually touch the SMD LEDs. The PCB it is soldered on for your
protection. If the lens is severely damaged or grants direct access to the PCB for any reason, the device
should not be used and disconnected from the mains.
Spare parts
This unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. If internal components sustain damage, contact your local
dealer or a specialised technician in order to repair the fixture.
Cleaning
Clean the housing of the fixture frequently with a damp cloth, to remove dust and/or dirt.
WARNING Always disconnect the fixture from your wall outlet or other power supply and let the fixture dry
before reconnecting it. This prevents possible electric shocks.
The lenses can be cleaned with a non-aggressive glass cleaning solution, but this is not recommended. Ayra
advises cleaning the mirror and lens with a fine brush, while removing dust and/or dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

User manual version: 1.0 Creation date + author initials: 04-11-2015 RV Revision date + author initials:

Avoid touching the lenses with your bare fingers, to prevent fingerprints on the optics.
Check-up
To prevent dangerous situations, make sure your fixture is in optimal condition before using it. Check your
fixture frequently, using the following check list:
- All screws must be mounted tightly.
- Check all screws and metal parts for corrosion. There shouldn't be any visible signs of corrosion.
- The exterior of your fixture must be in optimal condition. Check your fixture for dents, cracks or missing
parts.
- Your installation spot must be in optimal condition. Check your installation spot for corrosion, cracks, dents
and strength.
- Electrical components (connectors and cables) must be in optimal condition. No form of damage (cuts,
exposed wire cores or any other irregularities) should be visible.
If any visual or mechanical damage is detected, contact your local dealer or a specialised technician. Do not
use a damaged or malfunctioning fixture.
Transport and storage
The ComPar 2 can be transported directly after shutdown. As the ComPar 2's light sources do not need time
to cool down, the device can be stored and transported instantly.
During transport, the device must be securely protected to ensure it stays reliable and in optimal shape.
Always use the original box and packaging material to transport the unit, or a fitting flight case or flight bag if
the device is transported frequently for mobile use.
Power input and output
The ComPar 2 is equipped with an extra power output, which allows for daisy-chaining of several light
effects.
The output of the ComPar 2 can handle a maximum power of 2,000 W. This equals around 8.9 A based on a
230V AC, 0Hz connection. A maximum of 100 ComPar 2 fixtures can be daisy-chained from the main
ComPar 2 device.
Please make sure that no equipment with a power consumption higher than 2,000 W is connected to the
output of the ComPar 2. The IEC C13/C14 chassis connectors can only withstand a maximum current of 10
A at 230 V AC, 0 Hz and the included power cable has cores of only 3x 1 mm². If you use a higher current,
there is a chance of melting connectors and/or cables. Ayra cannot be held responsible for any damage
and/or injuries caused by improper use of the power outlets.
If you want to connect more than 100 ComPar 2 fixtures or larger equipment, the connection to a power
outlet must be renewed.
Please note that the IEC C13/C14 connectors are not 'hot-swappable'. This means that the connectors may
not be pulled out of the chassis if the cable is still connected to a power output socket.
The ComPar 2 is equipped with a fuse for its own components. The device's power input is directly linked to
the device's power output.
XLR input and output
The ComPar 2 is equipped with XLR chassis connectors. The DMX input is usually connected with a XLR
cable that has a locking mechanism so it cannot be pulled from the chassis easily. Usually the locking part
has to be pressed and held to unlock the mechanism. When doing this, the connector can be removed from
its socket.
Remote
The ComPar 2 uses a CR202 battery for the remote control. A battery is included upon delivery. A protective
sheet of transparent plastic sticks out of the bottom of the unit. When it's removed, contact is made between
the remote PCB and battery, and the remote can be used to control the ComPar 2.
