 Installation and maintenance
Installing the system in a standing position (right side up)
The ComPar KIT 1 and 2 are equipped with a 35 mm stand adapter, which
makes it possible to position the system on a standard loudspeaker or lighting
stand. A screw knob is attached to the adapter, used to tighten the system so
it is unable to turn around. This also prevents unwanted rattle noise caused
by speaker vibrations, and possible instability as tube diameters of stands
may always vary slightly.

Installing the fixture in a standing position (inverted)

It is possible to use the LED projectors as a floor spot system, for example when you
want to use them for uplighting purposes. For this feature, use the screw knobs at the top of the
system and mount a floor stand on each side (not included). Invert the display
status by using the menu option, for easy reading of values. After this, flip the
system and position the bar as you wish.

NOTE: You may need to replace the screw knobs for standard bolts, as the
height of floor stands may vary.

Installing the fixture in a hanging position

When installing the system in a hanging position (for example, on a truss construction), detach the
screw knobs and install proper G-clamps (not included).

NOTE: When installing the system in a handing position, the following list of safety precautions must
be met:
- Use at least two hanging points (clamps), for optimal stability and safety.
- Use at least one (recommended amount: 2) safety cable(s), capable of holding 3x the weight of the
system. Safety cables must be installed in such a way that it is impossible for the system to fall down
when one of the two mounting points breaks.
- It is prohibited to install the system by using only safety cables or chains!

Warranty is void when any of the above safety precautions is not followed. Ayra can not be held
responsible if any damage or injury occurs due to improper use of the system.

Transport
When using this fixture in mobile setups, provide sufficient protection during transport. Always use the
provided transport bags to protect the system and included lighting stand.

Replacing the internal fuse

First check whether a failing power supply may be the cause of malfunction. When you suspect that
the internal fuse is broken, the fuse can be replaced by removing the fuse cover, located directly below
the power inlet.

WARNING: Before changing the fuse, always disconnect the fixture from your wall outlet or any other
power supply to prevent electric shocks.
Always replace a broken fuse with a fuse that has the same type and rating. After the fuse has been
replaced, always close the fuse-cover. Reconnect the fixture to your power supply and check whether
the problem is solved. When this does not solve your problem, contact your local dealer for help.

Spare parts
This unit has no user serviceable parts inside. When any damage to internal components occur,
contact your local dealer or a specialized technician in order to repair the fixture.

Cleaning:
Clean the housing of the fixture frequently with a damp cloth, to remove dust and/or dirt. WARNING:
Always disconnect the fixture from your wall outlet or other power supply and let the fixture dry before
reconnecting it. This prevents possible electrical shocks.

The lenses can be cleaned with a non-aggressive glass cleaning solution, but is not recommended.
Ayra recommends to clean the mirror and lens with a fine brush, while removing dust and/or dirt with a
vacuum cleaner. Avoid touching the lenses with your bare fingers, to prevent fingerprints on the optics.

Checkup
To prevent dangerous situations, make sure your fixture is in optimal condition before using it. Check
your fixture frequently by using the following checklist:
- All screws must be mounted tightly.
- Check all screws and metal parts for corrosion. No visible corrosion may be present.
- 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. Any form of damage
(cuts, exposed wire cores or any other visual deformities should not be present.

If any visual or mechanical damage is detected, contact your local dealer or a specialized technician.
Do not use a damaged or failing fixture.
