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.

GENERAL CARE
VYPR 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.
•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 fixture and the roof of your grow area. Failure to do so may
shorten the fixture’s lifespan.
•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. Cleaning should always be done with the fixture
unplugged from its power source using low-pressure compressed air or
water to rinse off heatsink or LED array.
•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.
•To limit degradation, avoid touching the diodes with your hands, even in a
powered off state.

please visit www.fluence.science/support/
VYPR 2x and VYPR 2p are high-
performance lighting systems.
Do not touch while in operation.
Last and most important, please
recycle all packaging material.
Future generations will thank you.

CAUTION: To protect the LED ARRAY,
• Do NOT remove the protective cover during
installation.
• Do NOT contact the LED array or protective cover
with sharp object or force that may damage the
LED’s.
• Do NOT leave the protective cover on the fixture
after installation. It will melt when powering the
fixture.
• Do NOT plug in AC power BEFORE connecting the
power supply to VYPR fixture first.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Unbox fixture and place on flush, stable surface. Keep
the VYPR Series protective cover on the fixture during
installation to protect LED array.
To mount fixture, follow the steps in the intallation guide
sheet included in the box. Hang the fixture in the desired
location and adjust the mounting height to at least 18”
above the plant canopy.
Mount the power supply per installation guide.
Connect the VYPR fixture to power supply with 3’ or 6’ DC
ccable.

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
Fixture and power
supply are UL 1598
Wet Location rated but
are not designed to be
submerged in water. In
the event that the module
or power supply enclosure
becomes submersed, first
disengage the circuit
breaker, then unplug
submersed components
before proceeding to
remove from water.
CAUTION
To prevent eye damage,
avoid looking directly at
the unshielded LEDs.
CAUTION
LED and heatsink
surfaces may be hot.
Allow sufficient 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: VYPR Series fixtures are rated suitable for wet locations. A “wet location” is defined as an interior or exterior location
in which water or other liquids may drip, splash or flow on or against the electrical components of a lighting fixture. VYPR Series
fixtures and power supply are certified to meet UL standards (ETL) from the Intertek safety consulting and certification company.
Systems are cETL listed and are rated IP66 by IEC standard 60529.
The light source of this luminaire is not replaceable; when the light source reached its end of life the whole luminaire shall be replaced.
Horticulture Lighting, not suitable for household room illumination.
1 PPF calculations compiled using integrating sphere measurements and typical spectroadiometric 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 reflections values and dirt accumulation.
