WiFly Par QA5 WH Trouble Shooting
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter,
with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are
wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices
pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected
to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs
and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:
1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
2. Make sure that Sound Active mode is activated.
WiFly Par QA5 WH Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord
from the unit. Once the cord has been removed, you will find that the
fuse holder is located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw
driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove
the bad fuse and replace with a new one. The fuse holder also has a
holder for a spare fuse.
WiFly Par QA5 WH Fuse Replacement
WiFly Par QA5 WH Modify the Battery Capacity
After replacing either the PCB or the battery, you must perform the
following steps to initialize the unit. If the unit is not initialized after
replacing either of these parts, the unit battery life will be inaccurate in
future use.
1. Make sure the unit is unplugged from any power source. Switch
OFF the BATTERY switch and switch ON the LOAD switch. Press and
hold the DOWN button.
2. While pressing the DOWN button, plug the unit into an AC power
source. The unit should display “-002”. Release the DOWN button,
and the unit displays “StAr”.
3. Simultaneously press the UP & DOWN buttons and release them.
“-rUn” should be displayed. This indicates that the unit has entered
the battery capacity modification mode successfully. All LEDs will be
off.
4. Switch ON the battery switch to charge the battery.
Note: Do not unplug the power cord during charging, otherwise
the unit’s battery life display will be inaccurate in future use. All
buttons will be useless during charge time.
3. When the LEDs are full on, the battery has reached its full charge.
Unplug the power cord immediately, and LEDs will stay full on in this
status. The battery will begin to discharge.
4. Unplug the power cord and switch ON the LOAD switch. Set the
unit to Static Color mode. Use the UP or DOWN buttons so that the
display shows “CL 15” (RGBA color full on) to fast discharge the
battery. Discharge the battery so that the display shows “b000”. This
means the battery charge is gone. The unit has now been initialized
successfully. Go ahead and recharge your battery.
