Important notice!
Power inputs & outputs
The ComPar Kit fixtures have independent fuses for the bar itself and the power outputs. They
are directly connected to the AC power input which they share. The internal wiring of the fixture
is built to withstand a max. total load of 16 A.
The ComPar Kit fixture electronics are equipped with an F3A 20mm fuse.
The Power outputs are equipped with an F7A 20mm main fuse, which bears the total load for the
power outputs. Every power output is capable of being loaded with 7 A max., but the combined
load for both outputs cannot exceed 7 A. Doing so will result in blowing the internal fuse. Even
though the bar may withstand a larger load, the 7A fuse is chosen for safety reasons. No
problems will occur when connecting one, two or several LED lighting fixtures. Connecting
fixtures with a high power consumption (such as fog machines) is not recommended by Ayra.
Any load greater than 16 A total on the power outputs will also cause the 7A fuse to blow. In
addition to that, chances are high that the circuit breaker of your power circuit may also cut the
power, causing other fixtures connected to the circuit to deactivate due to the loss of power.
The fuses inside the ComPar Kit act independently of each other. Therefore, any power issues
with connected lighting fixtures that cause the output fuse to blow, will not result in problems for
the bar itself, so it will keep running and prevent total blackout.
It is theoretically possible to connect a total of 10 ComPar Kit 3 fixtures in a single line, without
power problems (as the maximum power capacity of the power outputs combined is 1,610 W).
Setting up the unit
The ComPar KIT series comes with a practical tripod light stand. Extract the feet of the stands until they are
fully extended. Pull the distance tube out until you reach the appropriate installation height and tighten the
knob. Use the included safety pin to ensure that the stand will not slide down. Place the ComPar KIT bar on
the stand. To activate the unit, connect the included power supply to the unit and a suitable 230V, 50Hz
power outlet. The unit will activate directly after it is plugged in to a wall outlet or other power source.
The status of the fixture is shown on the display. Certain values determine the current status and will change
when you push buttons on the control panel. The buttons each have their own function, for easy navigation in
the control panel.

Operating modes:
Stand-alone (automatic): Select one of the internal programs, which will activate and run in a continuous
loop.
Music-controlled mode (sound-activated): Activate the internal microphone by using the display and set
the right sensitivity for optimal music-controlled shows. Select one of the predefined shows. The show will
change step by step when sound is detected.
Master/slave mode (sync mode): Connect two or multiple ComPar KIT 3 systems with a standard 3p male
to 3p female XLR cable. The first system will act as a master fixture, the second system will mimic the
actions of the first system, thus creating synchronised effects.
To ensure that this function works properly, use the DMX OUT connector of the first system and the DMX IN
connector of the second system. Set the second system to Slave 1 or Slave 2 mode (synchronised or
mirrored mode). Connecting more than 1 slave is possible, with a maximum of 16 units.
The Master/slave mode also works when using the included foot controller. Connect the foot controller to the
first fixture with the 5P connector, then feed the signal through from fixture to fixture with the DMX inputs and
outputs.
NOTE: The master/slave mode of the Compar Kit 3 is compatible with the master/slave mode of the Compar
Kit 1 and 2. However, the specified floor controllers are not interchangeable between the Compar Kit 1 / 2
and the Compar Kit 3!
DMX mode: The most extensive operating mode, as this function gives you the ability to control the system
with a standard DMX-512 controller, using the 3p DMX inputs and outputs. Select one of the several channel
modes and set the right starting address. After this, you have full control over the system with your DMX
controller.

Installation and maintenance
Installing the system in a standing position (right side up)
The ComPar KIT 3 is equipped with a 35mm stand adapter, which makes it
possible to position the system on a standard speaker or light stand. A double
screw knob is provided to tighten the system, so it is unable to pivot. This also
prevents unwanted rattle noise caused by speaker vibrations, and possible
instability as tube diameters of stands may vary slightly.
Installing the fixture in a standing position (inverted)
It is possible to use the LED projectors as a floor spotlight 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
(included). Use the menu option to invert the display status for easy reading
of values. After this, flip the system and position the bar as you wish.
Installing the fixture in a suspended position
When installing the system in a suspended position (for example, on a truss
construction), detach the screw knobs and install proper G-clamps or half
couplers (not included).
NOTE: When installing the system in a suspended position, the following list
of safety precautions must be met:
- Use at least two rigging points (clamps), for optimal stability and safety.
- Use at least one (recommended amount: 2) safety cable(s), capable of holding 5x 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 rigging points breaks.
- It is prohibited to install the system by using only safety cables or chains!
The warranty is void if any of the above safety precautions are not met. Ayra cannot be held responsible if
any damage or injury occurs due to improper use of the system.
Lens mechanism
The Compar Kit 3 spotlights are equipped with a standard lens. As the standard dispersion of a COB LED is
very wide, users may want to change the dispersion angle for different purposes. The Compar Kit 3 has
standard lenses installed in front of the spotlights, mounted with two knobs. By loosening the knobs, the
lenses can be removed and stored in the transport bag. The standard dispersion angle of the Compar Kit 3 is
about 30 degrees. When the lens is removed, the dispersion is approximately 120 degrees - ideal for wall
washing, hall ambient lighting and much more! The overall intensity of the Compar Kit 3 may appear to be
brighter if the lens is installed. This is caused by the dispersion of the light intensity over a smaller surface.
Transport
If you use this fixture in a mobile setup, make sure to provide sufficient protection during transport. Always
use the provided transport bags to protect the system and included lighting stand.
Replacing the internal fuses
First check whether a failing power supply may be the cause of malfunction. When you suspect that one of
the internal fuses is broken, the fuse can be replaced after removing the fuse cover, located on the rear of
the fixture, near the power inputs, outputs and control menu.
WARNING: Before checking the fuse, always disconnect the fixture from your wall outlet or any other power
supply to prevent electric shocks.
Always replace the broken fuse with a fuse of 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. If not, contact your local dealer for help.
Spare parts
This unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. When any damage to internal components occurs, contact
Any information and illustrations shown in this user manual are subject to change without further notice.

your local dealer or a specialised 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 electric shocks.
The lenses can be cleaned with a non-aggressive glass cleaning solution, but this is not recommended. Ayra
advises cleaning 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.
Check-up
To prevent dangerous situations, make sure your fixture is in optimal condition before using it. Check your
fixture frequently by using the following check list:
- 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. 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 failing fixture.
