Exterior surfaces of xture may become hot during operation. Use caution when
handling.
Ensure free and unobstructed airow around xture by providing at least 200mm
clearance around all vents.
Do not operate the xture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).
Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 12” (300mm) away
f
from the xture.
Keep ammable materials away from the xture.
Burn and re precautions
WARNING. Fixture may cause injury or damage to objects placed near glass windows,
due to high levels of visible and invisible light radiation. Under no circumstances
operate xture without at least 12” (300mm) open air clearance in front of glass
window.
Electrical shock precautions
Do not remove any cover or panel from xture.
Disconnect xture from AC power before performing maintenance on xture or
moving xture. Only move or perform maintenance on the xture AFTER it has been
disconnected from AC power.
Ensure AC power service to xture is connected to (earth) ground.
Only use
Only use AC power sources that comply with local building and electrical codes
and have both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Under no circumstances connect power to xture if xture, power inlet or power cable
is wet. Before connecting power dry all components with a dry cloth and allow to air
dry until liquid water has evaporated. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES disconnect power
from xture if power cable or power inlet is wet.
Ensure power inlet, xture, and power cable are dry before connecting or
dis
disconnecting power.
Ensure that the operating humidity never exceeds 90% (non-condensing).
Check that power cables are in perfect condition and free from defects before
operating the xture and make sure they are properly rated for current requirements
for all equipment.
If the power cable or any seal, cover, cable or other components are damaged,
defective, deformed, wet or show signs of overheating, isolate the xture from power
immedi
immediately. Do not reapply power until repairs have been completed. Do not expose
xture to rain or moisture.

Preventing fan injuries
Fixture contains high power fans, which can catch and pull hair, jewelry and other
objects, causing serious injury:
• Under no circumstances insert foreign objects into xture.
• Keep hair, jewelry, and clothing away from fan intake.
• Under no circumstances remove fan guards from xture.
•
Keep ngers away from fan guard during operation.
Safety precautions for moving and installation
Make sure xture is fastened securely to a xed surface or structure when in use.
Once mounted, the xture is not portable.
Before attempting to move or mount xture, ensure that area below xture is clear.
Block access to area below xture and warn occupants of falling equipment hazard.
Make sure that the supporting structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all
equipmeequipment suspended from it when suspending the xture.
Do not move or adjust the position of xture during use. Disconnect the power cord
from xture before moving it.
Use caution near idle xtures which can suddenly illuminate on schedule or by
remote control.
Use light-blocking protective clothing when working directly below operating
xture as it emits high levels of visible and invisible light radiation that can have
adverse effects on tissues, including skin, when working close to it.
Due to high levels of visible blue light radiation emitted by the xture, use blue light
l
ltering protective eyewear when working near operating xtures less than four hours
before normal scheduled bed time, as this can have adverse effects on the human
circadian rhythm, resulting in shift work dysfunction and other circadian rhythm
disorders.
Do not modify the xture in any way that is not described in this manual or the
Product User Guide. Do not apply lters, diffusers or other materials to glass window.
Preventing injuries to the eyes and skin
Under no circumstances look into glass window during operation as the xture emits
high levels of visible and invisible light radiation. This can adversely affect your vision.
Use proper vision protection when working near xture. Use caution in presence of
child
children.
Under no circumstances look into glass window with concentrating optics such as
binoculars, telescopes, or magnifying glasses.

f
foreign objects are touching glass.
Do not clean xture during operation.
Unplug xture before attempting to clean. Do not clean glass window during
operation. Do not place objects on top of xture.
Do not place foreign objects on top of xture during operation.

Connect the BUS cable to one of the BUS sockets and the Control HUB.
If you use multiple xtures, daisy chain them together and make sure that
the rst one is connected to the Control HUB and that the BUS has been
terminated correctly on the last one.
Make sure the power switch is set to 0. Then connect the power cord to
the power socket.
Connect the power cord to an (earthed) grounded power outlet
(specications can be found in the Technical Data Section).
Check that the power cables are in perfect condition and free from defects, and make sure they are
properly rated for current requirements for all equipment.
For information on adjusting the arms and distance between the lighting xture and the plants, see the
Light Distribution Section.
Connect light hangers, rope ratchets, chains etc. to the mounting
brackets (see picture) as well as the support structure.
Use the light hangers, rope ratchets, chains etc. to adjust the distance
between the lighting xture and the support structure.
For proper operation the HashCropter must be mounted horizontally from a support structure.
Make sure that the supporting structure can hold the weight of all equipment suspended from
it. Also ensure free and unobstructed air ow around the HashCropter by providing at least
200 mm around all vents.
Mounting
After the HashCropter has been properly mountad, set the power switch to 1. If the HashCropter is
connected to an operating Control HUB, this will be indicated by the remote LED after a few seconds.
If you do not use a Control HUB you can adjust the settings with the integrated touch panel.
If you do not use the Control HUB to schedule lighting recipes, use a common clock timer to automatically
turn the HashCropter on/off.
Use the button to switch between LED channels (B = blue,
W = white, R = red) and the absolute intensity mode. The green LEDs
indicate the active mode.
Use the buttons to adjust the intensity levels of the selected
mode.
Operation

Since the optimal light distribution highly depends on your setup and objectives, we have decided to
provide more detailed instructions at our website: https://www.hashcropter.com
A homogeneous light distribution is crucial for optimizing both yields and crop quality.
The light distribution can be varied by adjusting the position of the
arms. Under no circumstances adjust the light distribution during
operation. Always switch off the HashCropter rst.
Remove the knurled-head screws (see HashCropter Overview).
Select one of the four positions of the arms.
Refasten the knurled-head screws. Under no circumstances operate
the Hash
the HashCropter wightout the knurled-head screws tightly
fastened.
Light distribution
For information on recommended lighting recipes and/or how different lighting recipes inuence the
development of the plant, visit our website: https://www.hashcropter.com
The HashCropter provides an built-in user interface to ne-tune both the spectrum and intensity.
In this section you will learn how to use this interface properly.
Dimming / Spectral Tuning
Use to switch to the B (blue) channel and adjust the amount of blue light by using the
buttons. Repeat this process for the W (white) and R (red) channels in order to optimize the spectral
distribution of the light.
After ne-tuning the spectral distribution, switch back to the absolute intensity mode to re-adjust the
overall intensity level of the light.
Beginners are strongly recommended to set all three channels (B, W, R) to Boost and therefore use the
HashCropters pre-optimized spectrum.
Use the buttons to adjust the intensity level to at least 1.
Use to switch to the absolute intensity mode. This is indicated
when all three mode LEDs (B, W, R) are switched on.
