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.

Setup Examples
Master / Slave
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
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.
AirHub DMX Menu AirPar HEX 4 Menu
DMX Controller
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 transmitter
• Make sure the fixture is in DMX mode
• Make 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.
