SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS

Carefully read the warnings below before using or working with the product!

• Always adhere to the local rules and regulations when installing or using the LED fixture.

• Do not open or disassemble the LED fixture as it contains no serviceable parts inside. Opening or modifying the LED fixture can be dangerous and will void the warranty.

• Do not use the LED fixture when either the LED fixture or its power cord are damaged. Replace the power cord with correctly rated cord only.

• Modifications to the cabling can lead to unwanted electromagnetic effects which may make the product not comply with legal requirements.

• Do not expose the LED fixture to:
  Condensing humidity, heavy mist or direct spray;
  Ambient temperatures outside the specified range;
  Dust and contamination;
  Direct sunlight during use or HID light that may heat up the driver.

• Always disconnect the LED fixture from mains before performing any maintenance.

• Always allow for a cool down period of at least 20-30 minutes before touching the LED light bars. Touching the LED bars when the fixture is lit or immediately after may result in burns!

• Natural convection removes heat away from the heatsink. In order for the system too properly cool itself, at least 5cm of space is required between the fixture and the roof of your grow area.

• Do not use abrasive materials or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the LED fixture as this may damage the secondary optics. Instead use a clean dry fabric/cloth.

• Do not use the LED fixture near flammable, explosive or reactive substances. The LED fixture can reach tempera­tures of 40° C.

• Do not use sulphur vaporizers or water misters.

• The installation and use of the LED fixture is the responsibility of the end user. Incorrect use or installation can lead to failure and damage to the LED fixture. Damage to the LED fixture and electronic circuitry as a result of incorrect installation and use revokes the warranty.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

• Mounting and installing the LED fixture must be in accordance with the applicable local laws and regulations.
• The installer is responsible for correct and safe installation.
• Ensure the local cabling can support the voltage and current requirements of the LED fixture.
• Avoid coiled cords and keep mains leads separated to help prevent electromagnetic interference.
• Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load.

Fixture assembly & installation

Note the direction when installing; the driver fixing bracket is on top when fixture is hung.
Press button on the frame push-click connector to connect and ensure button pops up in hole socket to lock.

Assemble the frame

Note the direction when installing; the driver tray is on top when the fixture is hung.

Connect the driver

Using PhotonTek 5m LED driver extension cords (sold separately), the driver can be positioned remotely for greater flexibility.

Connect the LED light bars

Replacing and changing light bars
Individual 1 00W light bars are available to purchase as replacements or with different spectral ratios to adjust fixture spectral output.
The X 600W Pro fixture’s modular design has an intelligent LED driver which can autosense and decrease or increase power to match the amount of 100W light bars installed on the fixture.

WARNING At least one light bar must be installed in the fixture before switching on.

Installing the fixture

Mount the system to something that can hold the weight of the LED fixture.
Ensure all light bars are installed correctly and are secure. Carefully turn the fixture over and attach the metal cable hangers to the mounting hooks. Hang the fixture in required position and height. For optimal performance; position fixture 30 – 50cm above plant canopy. Ensure the fixture is hung horizontally.

Connecting the Manual Dimmer Control
The dimmer control is connected to the Dimming IN connector on the fixture. This enables light intensity (PPF level) to be adjusted according to requirement. The LED fixture light intensity can be adjusted without changing spectral power distribution or losing efficiency.

Connecting Fixtures in series for External Control
For detailed instructions please refer to the PhotonTek Digital Lighting Controller manual. The X 600W Pro uses 0-1 OV signal protocol for control.
Position and hang each fixture appropriately.

Connecting the LED fixture to the mains

WARNING

• Make sure mains power is switched off.
• Ensure the power supply cord is not coiled and does not touch any hot surfaces.
• Connect the cabling according to local rules, safety regulations and electrical code.
• Ensure external switching gear can cope with the inrush current of the LED fixture. Always use a double pole contactor suitable for switching a capacitive load. Never use household timers to switch the LED fixture!
• Ensure power cord rating matches mains supply voltage.
• The LED fixture is supplied with a 120V power cord for 120V power supply. 240V and 277V power cords are not included and must be purchased separately.
• Select the correctly rated cord for your mains power supply and connect driver power input socket to switching gear/power supply.
• Switch on mains power.
• Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE LED FIXTURE

• Always ensure at least one light bar is connected to the fixture before switching on. The X 600W Pro has an intelligent LED driver which will increase or decrease power to match the amount of light bars connected to the system.
• Always wait 20 – 30 minutes for the LED light bars to cool down.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

WARNING

• Disconnect the LED fixture from mains before performing any maintenance or repairs.
• Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load
• Do not open or disassemble the LED fixture, it contains no serviceable parts inside. Opening the LED fixture can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
• Always wait 20 – 30 minutes for the LED light bars to cool down.
