Avoid touching the lenses with your bare fingers, to prevent fingerprints on the optics.
Check-up
To prevent dangerous situations, make sure your fixture is in optimal condition before using it. Check your
fixture frequently, using the following check list:
- All screws must be mounted tightly.
- Check all screws and metal parts for corrosion. There shouldn't be any visible signs of corrosion.
- The exterior of your fixture must be in optimal condition. Check your fixture for dents, cracks or missing
parts.
- Your installation spot must be in optimal condition. Check your installation spot for corrosion, cracks, dents
and strength.
- Electrical components (connectors and cables) must be in optimal condition. No form of damage (cuts,
exposed wire cores or any other irregularities) should be visible.
If any visual or mechanical damage is detected, contact your local dealer or a specialised technician. Do not
use a damaged or malfunctioning fixture.
Transport and storage
The ComPar 2 can be transported directly after shutdown. As the ComPar 2's light sources do not need time
to cool down, the device can be stored and transported instantly.
During transport, the device must be securely protected to ensure it stays reliable and in optimal shape.
Always use the original box and packaging material to transport the unit, or a fitting flight case or flight bag if
the device is transported frequently for mobile use.
Power input and output
The ComPar 2 is equipped with an extra power output, which allows for daisy-chaining of several light
effects.
The output of the ComPar 2 can handle a maximum power of 2,000 W. This equals around 8.9 A based on a
230V AC, 50Hz connection. A maximum of 100 ComPar 2 fixtures can be daisy-chained from the main
ComPar 2 device.
Please make sure that no equipment with a power consumption higher than 2,000 W is connected to the
output of the ComPar 2. The IEC C13/C14 chassis connectors can only withstand a maximum current of 10
A at 230 V AC, 50 Hz and the included power cable has cores of only 3x 1 mm². If you use a higher current,
there is a chance of melting connectors and/or cables. Ayra cannot be held responsible for any damage
and/or injuries caused by improper use of the power outlets.
If you want to connect more than 100 ComPar 2 fixtures or larger equipment, the connection to a power
outlet must be renewed.
Please note that the IEC C13/C14 connectors are not 'hot-swappable'. This means that the connectors may
not be pulled out of the chassis if the cable is still connected to a power output socket.
The ComPar 2 is equipped with a fuse for its own components. The device's power input is directly linked to
the device's power output.
XLR input and output
The ComPar 2 is equipped with XLR chassis connectors. The DMX input is usually connected with a XLR
cable that has a locking mechanism so it cannot be pulled from the chassis easily. Usually the locking part
has to be pressed and held to unlock the mechanism. When doing this, the connector can be removed from
its socket.
Remote:
The ComPar 2 uses a CR2025 battery for the remote control. A battery is included upon delivery. A protective
sheet of transparent plastic sticks out of the bottom of the unit. When it's removed, contact is made between
the remote PCB and battery, and the remote can be used to control the ComPar 2.
