3) Rigging
The PORTRAIT Q-AIR is equipped with a threaded M10 hole for a clamp. You can
then hang the fixture on a truss or other type of hanging structure. Please check the
light accessory lineup on www.centolight.com for further details.
When install the fixture to crossbar or truss, always use an extra safety cord (not
supplied with the fixture). Users also need to make sure the crossbar is stable or not
moving, and can support a weight of 36 kg (fixture net weight 3.6kg).
Pay attention to safety! Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the
national standard during the installation. The authorized dealer must only carry
out the installation.
The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can
hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolition. The installation
must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no
part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that the safety measure and the
machine’s technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into opera-
tion for the first time and after changes before taking into operation anther time. He
has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s
technical installation once a years.
WARNING: The xture should be installed outside areas where persons may
walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT: Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but not
limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and
periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you
lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead
use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily
injury or property loss.
yIf the fixture must be raised to/or lowered from the ceiling or by suspended
beams, it is advisable to use professional trussing systems.
yIn case of installation on a wall, ceiling or truss, the use of safety rope such as
the LW3-76A or the LW4-76A (sold separately) and clamps such as the SLH/SQC
series is required (sold separately). Visit www.centolight.com for more details.
yFor overhead use, also consider that a safety rope must hold at least 10 times
the weight of the fixture. The fixture must never be left to swing freely.
CAUTION: Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down. If you have
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the x-
ture!
CAUTION: Use two appropriate clamps to rig the xture on the truss. Make sure
that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you
are attaching the xtures is secure.
DANGER OF FIRE! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly in-
ammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of minimum 0.5
meter.

4.1. Wired DMX Control
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy
Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of
the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and
has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that
provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.
DMX Terminator
Unit 1 Unit 2 Last Unit
DMX 512
3-Pin XLR
Pin 1: GND
Pin 2: DMX -
Pin 3: DMX +
OUTPUTINPUT
DMX use of 3-Pin XLR Connectors
Connect machines using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3-pin XLR
male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Nega-
tive (S-), and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
When use a DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference
sources (e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source).
4.2.DMX Terminator
120ohm, 1/4W
Resistor
DMX Terminator
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still
occasionally occur. In order to prevent electrical noise from dis-
turbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to
connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX termina-
tor, especially over long signal cable runs.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω
(ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+),
respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output
socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrat-
ed below.
Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit xtures at most.

Signal amplier is a must to connect more xtures.
4.3.DMX Addressing
Each fixture must be assigned a DMX address so that the correct fixture responds
to the correct control signals. This DMX address is the channel number from which
the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information being sent out from the
controller.
The PORTRAIT Q-AIR has 2 DMX channel modes: 6 and 8 DMX channels. To set up
fixture DMX address, first select DMX channel mode by following up the paragraph
“9.1. DMX Control Mode” on page 17. The highest DMX address for this fixture is
512. To set up fixture DMX starting address, follow the steps below:
yPress “Up” or “Down” button to set up DMX address;
yPress “Enter” to save your setting.
4.4. 3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not
standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards:
5-Pin XLR and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect this fixture to a 5-Pin XLR in-
put fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself. Below you can
see the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards

Your PORTRAIT Q-AIR Par can be remotely controlled by DMX-512 wireless trans-
ceivers like the SOUNDSATION AIRCOM 126 (check www.soundsationmusic.com or
contact your SOUNDSATION local dealer for further information).
The fixture is equipped with a 2.4GHz wireless DMX512 interface that works within
2,400-2,525 GHz license-free band. Maximum distance is 300m (without obstacles).
This wireless feature, considering that the PORTRAIT Q-AIR is a battery-powered
fixture, gets rid of relying on connecting cables completely, and also can ensure a
reliable and very-low delay DMX data communication. It adopts global free 2.4GHz
ISM frequency band and high effective GFSK modulation.

1515
PORTRAIT Q-AIR Set User Manual
Eng
One transmitter can mange more receivers at the same time, so this means, for
example, that a DMX controller connected to a 2.4 GHz transmitter can control more
than one PORTRAIT Q-AIR simultaneously, which is a very common application in
case of multiple PARs in a flight case, like the PORTRAIT Q-AIR SET. Of course, the
two or more receivers must be placed within 300m from the transmitter.
Another common application is, for example, if in a venue with two dance floors
(let’s call them “zones”) you want to control both with the same controller. The only
advise is that the fixtures in Zone A must use DMX channels other than those used in
Zone B.
NOTE: If two transmitters are active simultaneously on same ID, although there
is no risk of damage to the equipment, we do not recommend to use two or
more transmitters on same ID value, as this is absolutely useless.
5.1. ID code and LED Color
DMX data communication occurs only if transmitter an receiver are both under same
ID code. Users can assign a fixture to one of the 7 available bands (or groups) by
pressing “ID SEL” button several times. Each ID has a different assigned color as
shown in next table.
ID COLOR
1Red
2 Green
3 Red + Greed = Yellow
4 Blue
5 Red + Blue = Magenta
6 Green + Blue = Cyan
7 Red + Green + Blue = White
This means that the combination Transmitter-Receiver allows the light designer to
use up to 7 x 512 DMX channels in the same venue.
5.2. Wireless DMX Operation
To use this feature, Select “Set” menu in the display, and press “ENTER”. Scroll
“DOWN” button to select “2. 2.4g wireless”. Press “ENTER” – “UP” to set wireless to
“ON”. You will see WDMX indicator starts to blink. This means the fixture is already
connected to other fixtures or to one wireless transmitter box.

PORTRAIT Q-AIR Set User Manual
Eng
Now you need to set up the transmitter in order to match the same ID group. Please
refer to the transmitter user manual for further information.
Once communication is established (red LED will be always lit, you have to adjust
the PORTRAIT Q-AIR DMX channel in order to match the controller (e.g.: if your PAR
is in 8-Channel mode, and DMX channel is set to 1, the controller can adjust values
of DMX channels from 1 to 8 in a range between 0 and 255.
All fixtures with the same led indicator color are in the same group and will follow
the instruction from the master unit of same group.
6 - WI-fIConTrol Mode
At the main menu, select “Shows”, and press “ENTER” button to enter to sub-menu
“Auto Mode”. Scroll “DOWN” button to select “5. Wi-Fi Mode”. Press “ENTER”. You will
see below:
At the right side LCD display, you will the Wi-Fi hotspot LED_XXX (in this case
LED_213). Now the fixture will work as a router with Wi-Fi name LED_XXX. Now con-
nect your device to the hotspot.

The Q-Air portrait is suitable for video shooting as it has is “flicker-free” operation,
ie the dimmer control scan frequency can be adjusted from 1kHz to 20kHz. The more
this value is high, the less the flickering effect is visible when a camera shoots the
light source.

access sub-menu and select A001. Then, press MENU for a few seconds. You will see
