USER MANUAL

QPlease read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install

or operate any Fluence RAZR Series system.

Q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.

QIt is important you read, fully understand, and observe the subse-

quent 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.

QNOTICE: RAZR is a high-performance lighting system. Do not

touch while in operation.

QConnect the system only to power sources of the correct voltage

(as shown in this manual). 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.

Q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 does 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.

Q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.

ASSEMBLY &MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1Unbox hardware from packaging and place on ﬂush, stable surface.

Take extra caution with RAZR—ensuring the LED array does not

come in contact with sharp objects or force that may damage the

diodes.

1.........To change ﬁxture width, place RAZR on ﬁrm surface with

LEDs facing down. Use the supplied #20 torque wrench to

loosen 4 screws at the end of the ﬁxture. Loosen 4 screws

near the power supply, and the 4 screws on the backplate.

With these screws loosened, you can now adjust the ﬁxture’s

width from 15.75” up to 22.75”. When ﬁxture has been appro-

priately adjusted, re-tighten the 16 screws.

2........ RAZR can be mounted using universal attachment brackets

(tips facing up) in holes at either end of ﬁxture.

3........ Alternatively, cantilever brackets can be installed and used to

mount RAZR to a standard slot rack. To install cantilever

brackets, attach at back sides with #20 torque wrench and

three screws per bracket. When mounting RAZR to a Danish

trolley/slot rack, use ﬁne-angle level adjustment device to

adjust the angle of the ﬁxture.

4........To dim RAZR, attach the appropriate dimming cables to a

dimming system.

For detailed instructions for assembling and mounting RAZR, please

see video turtorials at www.ﬂuence.science/support/.

How to apply your vinyl-cut Fluence sticker:

1......... Clean and dry the surface where the sticker will be applied.

Air and surface temperature should be between 40° to 90° F.

2........ Remove backing sheet to expose adhesive and apply sticker

to desired surface.

3........ Starting from the center and working outward, squeegee

pre-masked surface with a credit card to remove air bubbles.

4........ Allow adhesive to bond approximately 15 minutes.

5........ Remove pre-mask from sticker at a 45° angle, keeping it as

close to the sticker as possible. If lettering is coming up with

pre-mask, re-squeegee before attempting to remove.

Last, and most important, please recycle all packaging

material. Future generations will thank you.

USER MANUAL

Fluence encourages everyone to experiment and

pursue their own techniques. Every crop is dierent

and everyone has dierent goals. However, our

internal research has given us insight into several

strategies we would like to share.

QRegularly check your plants’ growth and health.

Fluence lighting systems deliver high levels of

PAR, typically more than experienced in nature.

Adjustments to H₂O, CO₂, RH, nutrients, and

temperature are typically required.

QMount the light bars 5” from the top of your canopy

to ensure optimal uniformity and consistent PPFD.

RAZR was designed for maximum precision and

requires precise deployment. A 1” variation in either

direction will have a signiﬁcant change in uniformity

and PPFD (which may or may not be desired).

Q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.

BEST PRACTICES

CARE &

RAZR

USER MANUAL

RAZR Series systems are passively cooled with

zero moving components. They are designed for

harsh environments and years of maintenance-free

performance. Some basic care will keep your system

operating at peak performance cycle after cycle.

QNatural convection removes heat away from the

heatsink. In order for the system to properly cool

itself, at least one inch of space is required between

the console and the roof of your grow area.

Failure to do so may shorten the ﬁxture’s lifespan.

QTo achieve the optimal lifespan and performance

of your ﬁxtures, routinely check for and remove

excess dust, debris, and mineral build up

from heatsink and LED array.

QCleaning should always be done with the ﬁxture

unplugged from its power source using low-pres-

sure compressed air or water to rinse away dirt from

light bars.

QNever use a cloth to clean the diode array. Doing

so can scratch or compromise the integrity of the

silicon seal, or dislodge diodes entirely.

QTo limit degradation, avoid touching the diodes

with your hands, even in a powered o state.

USER MANUAL

WARNING Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the possibility of serious injury, always take the proper

precautions and unplug the ﬁxture before moving or cleaning.

WARNING Light bars and power supply are splash-proof but not waterproof. In the event that the light bar

becomes submersed, ﬁrst disengage the circuit breaker, then unplug the ﬁxture before

proceeding to remove from water.

CAUTION To prevent eye damage, avoid looking directly at the unshielded LEDs.

CAUTION LED and heat sink surfaces may be hot. Allow sucient cooling time before handling.

CAUTION To reduce the risk of overheating or ﬁre, never place operating ﬁxtures face down on a ﬂush

surface. Always allow for adequate ventilation of ﬁxtures and power supplies.

ETL Rating: Fluence Bioengineering ﬁxtures are rated suitable for damp locations. A “damp

location” is deﬁned as exterior or interior location that is normally or periodically subject to

condensation of moisture in, on, or adjacent to the electrical components of a lighting ﬁxture or

ceiling fan. RAZRx is certiﬁed to meet UL standards (ETL) from the Intertek safety

consulting and certiﬁcation company. Systems are cETL and DLC listed.

1 PPF calculations compiled using integrating sphere measurements and typical spectroradiometric data for each LED to determine typical ﬁxture performance. Actual photometric results may vary within the LED

manufacturer’s bin tolerance.

2 Wattage values are typical expected values. Fluence maintains a tolerance of ±10% on ﬂux and power speciﬁcations. Target light levels can vary from projected levels depending on ambient temperature, room

reﬂection values and dirt accumulation.
