Configuring 

FlareCON™Air 

Configuring FlareCON™ Air involves selecting the  operating channel and input 
mode—either Wi-Fi™ to operate it from a mobile device, or DMX to connect it 
to a controller. 

 

CHAUVET® recommends using the Manual Channel option for selecting the 
FlareCON™ Air channel. 

Selecting A Channel 

The Wi-Fi™ channel can be selected manually or automatically. Manual selection 
is more reliable in areas that may be affected by wireless interference. 

To manually select an operating channel, do the following: 

1.

 

Make sure the product has power. The red light should be on and the display 
should be lit. 

2.

 

Press 

<MENU> 

until 

Manual Channel

 shows in the display. 

3.

 

Press 

<ENTER>

. The current channel number becomes highlighted.

<UP>

 or

5.

 

Press 

<ENTER>

 to select the channel number. 

To automatically select an operating channel, do the following: 

1.

 

Make sure the product has power. The red light should be on and the display 
should be lit. 

2.

 

Press 

<MENU>

 until 

Auto Channel

 shows in the display. 

3.

 

Press 

<ENTER>

. The current channel number becomes highlighted. 

4.

 

Press 

<AUTO>

. The display will flash, and stop. The signal indicator light 

will flash, and then stop when it selects a channel. 

The channel number shown when the display stops is the Wi-Fi™  channel 
selected by the FlairCON™ Air. 

Selecting A Signal 

Input Mode 

Selecting the signal mode input determines how the FlareCON™ Air receives 
control signals, either in Wi-Fi™  mode from the FlareCON™ app or in DMX 
mode from a DMX controller. 

To set the signal input mode, do the following: 

1.

 

Make sure the product has power. The red light should be on and the display 
should be lit. 

2.

 

Press 

<MENU>

 until 

Input Mode

 shows in the display. 

3.

 

Press 

<ENTER>

. The current input mode becomes highlighted. 

4.

 

Use

 <UP> 

or

 <DOWN> 

to select the 

<WIFI>

 or 

<DMX >

 mode. 

5.

 

Press 

<ENTER> 

to set the desired mode.

 

Connecting To A 

Mobile Device 

Connect to a mobile device  only after the FlareCON™Air has been configured, 
and after the FlareCON™ app has been installed on the mobile device. 

Use the Google™  Play Store  or iTunes®  Store to download the  CHAUVET® 
FlareCON™ app. 

Connecting the mobile device to the FlareCON™ Air involves using the device’s 
settings manager to connect to the FlareCON™ Air Wi-Fi™, and then setting up 
the lights in the FlareCON™ app. 

 

CHAUVET®  recommends having lights configured and ready to respond 
before connecting a mobile device. 

 

The name of  the current FlareCON™Air Wi-Fi™  network is needed to 
connect a mobile device. To find the name of the current Wi-Fi™, see the 
section below.
