IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS
•
Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or operate
any Fluence VYPR Series system .
•
After successful installation and configuration of the system, be sure to
retain this manual in a safe place for future reference . Safety is a key
component to a long lasting and trouble free installation .
•
It is important you read, fully understand, and observe the subsequent
safety precautions . If you are not comfortable with the installation of high
performance lighting systems, you should seek the services of a qualified
installation professional or call us for help .
•
NOTICE: VYPR 2x and VYPR 2p are high-performance lighting systems . Do
not touch while in operation .
•
Connect the system only to the power sources of the appropriate voltage
using the correct AC plug type . Protect power cables from being pinched,
walked on, or otherwise damaged . Be especially careful where the power
cable enters the power outlet and the unit . Only connect the system to an
electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating . Connect
the system only to the power sources of the correct voltage using the
plug received .
•
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by
removing ground pins or using unsafe adapters . A polarized plug has two
blades – one wider than the other . A grounding plug has a third ground
prong in addition to the two main conductors . The wide blade or third
grounding prong is provided for your safety . If the provided plug foes not
fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet . If you
replace the power cord, only use one of similar type and equal or greater
current rating .
•
The system should only be cleaned as directed in the manual . You should
seek service for your system by qualified service personnel if any of the
following occur:
1 . The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged .
2 . The unit has been exposed to rain .
3 . The unit exhibits a marked change in performance .
4 . The unit has been dropped, or its enclosure or chassis is damaged .
CULTIVATION BEST PRACTICES
Fluence encourages everyone to experiment and pursue their own techniques .
Every crop is different and everyone has different goals . However, our internal
research has given us insight into several strategies we would like to share .
•
Regularly check your plants’ growth and health . Fluence lighting systems
deliver high levels of PAR, typically more than experienced in nature .
Adjustments to H
2
O, CO

, RH, nutrients, and temperature are typically required .
•
Mount your fixture at least 18” from the top of your canopy to ensure
optimal uniformity and consistent PPFD . The VYPR Series was designed
to provide uniform light dispersion and requires precise deployment .
A 1” variation in either direction will have a significant effect in
uniformity and PPFD (which may or may not be desired) .
•
Many plants prefer higher temperatures when exposed to high PPFD .
Experiment with higher temperatures to achieve higher yields . Canopy
temperature and room ambient temperature often vary . For accurate results,
test at the canopy level to gauge leaf surface temperature .
