• 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.
• 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.
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 the fixture at least 6” from the top of your canopy to ensure
optimal uniformity and consistent PPFD. The RAY Series was designed to
provide uniform light dispersion 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).
• 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.
