• Always adhere to the local rules and regulations when installing or using the LED fixture.
• Do not open or disassemble the LED fixture, it contains no serviceable parts inside. Opening or modifying the LED fixture
can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
• This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed near maritime safety communications
equipment or other critical navigation or communication equipment operating between 0.45 - 30 MHz.
• Do not use the LED fixture when either the LED fixture or its power cord are damaged. Replace the power cord only with
original certified cords.
• Modifications to the cords can lead to unwanted electromagnetic effects, which makes the product not comply with legal
requirements.
• Do not expose the LED fixture to:
- (ambient) temperatures outside the specified range;
- dust and contamination;
- direct sunlight during use or HID light that could heat up the ballast.
• Always disconnect the LED fixture from mains before performing any maintenance.
• Always allow for a cool down period of at least 30 minutes before touching the LED rails. Touching the LED rails when the
fixture is lit or immediately afterwards can result in severe burns!
• Do not use the LED fixture near flammable, explosive or reactive substances. Do not use sulfur vaporizers or water misters.

6 Installation
Warning! Mounting and installing of the LED fixture may only be executed by certified service personnel, in accordance with
the applicable local laws and regulations.
Warning! The installer is responsible for correct and safe installation.
Warning! Ensure the local cabling can support the voltage and current requirements of the LED fixture.
Warning! Avoid coiled cords and keep mains leads separated. This prevents electromagnetic interference.
Warning! Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load.
6.1 Installation preparations
Warning! Mount the system to something that can hold the weight of the LED fixture.
• Switch off mains power.
• Install the Sun Grip light hangers (B).
• Distribute the fixture weight evenly so fixture hangs level (fig. 3). Sun Grip light hangers allow the LED fixture to easily move
upwards and downwards (fig. 4) according to your crop height. (fig. 5)
• Make sure power cords:
1) Are not concealed or extended through a wall, floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building structures
2) Are not located above a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling.
3) Are not permanently affixed to the building structure.
4) Are routed so that they are not subject to strain and are protected from physical damage.
5) Are visible over their entire length.
6) Are used within their rated ampacity as determined for the maximum temperature of the installed environment
specified in the instructions.
6.2 Installing the LED fixture
• Hang the LED fixture to the mounting system.
To install other LED fixtures, repeat the steps at paragraph 7.1 and 7.2.

6.3 Connecting the LED fixture to the mains
Warning! Make sure mains power is switched off.
Warning! Ensure the cord is not coiled and does not touch any hot surfaces.
Warning! Connect the cables according to local rules, safety regulations and electrical code.
Warning! Ensure external switching gear can cope with the inrush current of the LED fixture (see paragraph 3.2). Always
use a double pole contactor suitable for switching a capacitive load. Never use household timers to switch the LED fixture!
• If you use the LED fixture stand alone, connect the Wieland RST 16i5 female connector on the power cable to the Wieland
RST16i5 male connector on the LED fixture (fig. 13).
• If you use the LED fixture with a Master Controller, connect the Wieland RST16i5 female connector on an E-series adapter
(not included) to the Wieland RST16i5 male connector on the LED fixture (fig. 14).
• Connect the power cable to the mains.
