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 H2O, CO2, 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.
