VYPR
USER MANUAL
QPlease read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install
or operate any Fluence VYPRx 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: VYPRx and VYPRx PLUS are high-performance lighting
systems. 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

UNIVERSAL BRACKET Unbox hardware and place on flush, stable surface. Take extra
caution, ensuring the LED array does not come in contact with
sharp objects or force that may damage the diodes.
1......... Insert power cable into appropriate receptacle on the power
supply.
2........ Connect fixture cable to appropriate power supply receptacle.
3........ If connecting VYPR to a dimming system or controller, visit
fluence.science/support/
4........ If desired, the fourth cable can be connected to a remote
control system. Otherwise, cut close to power supply housing.
5........ For square, unistrut, or pipe bracket, pinch the sides of your
mounting bracket and insert the ends down into the gaps of
the fixture’s heat sink. Release bracket and allow it to “catch”
the inside of the heat sink. If you are using universal bracket,
simply insert one end of the bracket in through a gap in the
heat sink, thread it through to the other side of the heat sink
and rotate it into correct position.
5........ Attach to bracket chain or aircraft cable or other mounting
cabling as desired.
6........ Plug power cable into power source.
For detailed instructions for assembling and mounting your
Fluence lighting fixture, please see video tutorials
at 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° and 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 fixture at least 18” from the top of your
canopy to ensure optimal uniformity and consistent
PPFD. A 1” variation in mounting height in either
direction will have a significant change in uniformity
and PPFD (which may or may not be desired).
QSupplement CO₂ to boost photosynthesis for
high-yielding crops such as cannabis, tomatoes
and peppers as follows:
A. Veg: 800 to 1,000 PPM
B. Bloom: 1,200 to 1,600 PPM
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.

VYPR
USER MANUAL
VYPRx 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.

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. VYPRx and VYPRx PLUS are certified to meet UL standards (ETL) from the
Intertek safety consulting and certification company. Systems are cETL and DLC listed.
