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.

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.

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.

• 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
