Safety recommendations and warnings

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

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

• Do not open or disassemble the LED fixture; there are 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 afterward 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.

• 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 installation of the LED fixture may only be executed by certified service personnel, in accordance with 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.

Installation preparations

Warning! When mounting, attach the fixture to something that can support its entire weight.

• Switch off mains power.
• Install the wire hanging bracket (C).
• 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 upward and downward (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 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 routed so that they do not contact any LED rails.
7. Are used within their rated ampacity as determined for the maximum temperature of the installed environment specified in the instructions.

Installing the LED fixture

• Attach the LED fixture to the mounting system.
• If you plan to use the LED fixture as a stand-alone fixture, skip to section 7.7.
• If you plan to use a Master Controller, connect the e-Series adapter to the LED fixture (fig. 6) and skip to section 7.3.
  
  
  

To install other LED fixtures, repeat the steps from sections 7.1 and 7.2.

Preparation for use with a controller

Using a daisy-chain setup, a maximum of 100 LED fixtures can be connected to one controller. Up to 500 LED fixtures per daisy chain can be connected when using splitters. See section 7.4 and 7.5 of this manual and the manual of the controller.

• Take the unstripped interconnect cable.
  
  
  

• Cut the cable to the desired length and strip both ends using a crimp tool (product #HGC906720) (fig. 7).

• Insert the cable end into the RJ connectors (fig. 8) and use the crimp tool to finish assembly

Connecting up to 100 LED fixtures

• Remove the dummy plug from the input port on the first LED adapter (fig. 9).
  Note: Keep the dummy in a safe place! The dummy is necessary to operate the LED fixture in stand-alone mode.

• Use the controller cable (RJ45-RJ9) to connect the primary channel of the controller to the input port of the first LED adapter (fig. 10A).

• Remove the dummy from the input port on the second LED adapter.

• Use interconnect cable (RJ45-RJ45) to connect the output port of the first LED fixture adapter to the input port of the second LED fixture adapter (fig. 10B).

• Repeat these steps to connect up to 100 LED fixtures (fig. 10C).
  Warning! Ensure the power cord and the controller cables do not touch any of the LED rails.
  

Connecting up to 500 or 1,000 LED fixtures

Using a setup with daisy-chained splitters, up to 500 LED fixtures on EL1 and 1,000 LED fixtures on EL2 (over two channels) can be connected as shown in fig.12.

• Use the controller cable (RJ45-RJ9) to connect the primary channel of the controller to the input port of the first splitter (fig. 12A).

• Remove the dummy from the input port of the LED adapter (fig. 10).
  Note: Keep the dummy in a safe place! The dummy is necessary to operate the LED fixture in stand-alone mode.

• Use a RJ45-RJ45 modular jack interconnect cable (item C) to connect the output port of the splitter to the input port of the first LED fixture adapter (fig. 12C).

• Use a RJ45-RJ45 modular jack interconnect cable (item C) to connect the output port of the first LED adapter to the input port of the second (fig. 12D).

• Repeat these steps to connect up to 100 LED fixtures per splitter output port (fig. 12E). Up to 500 LED fixtures can be connected to the primary channel.

• Use RJ45-RJ45 modular jack interconnect cables (item C) to connect the outport of a splitter to the input port of the next (fig. 12F).

• Use the secondary channel (fig.12G) to connect another 500 LED fixtures, in the same way the LED fixtures are connected to the primary channel.

Warning! Ensure the power cord and the controller cables do not touch the LED fixture.
Warning! Distribute number of LED fixtures evenly over daisy chains.
Warning! Ensure the repeater bus connections are properly integrated within a correct installation for best results
Warning! Boosters should never be used to expand
Warning! The maximum cable length per splitter is 250 m (100 interconnect cables).

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 section 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 with a Master Controller, connect the Wieland RST16i5 female connector on the e-Series adapter to the Wieland RST16i5 male connector on the LED fixture (fig. 14).
• Connect the power cable to the mains. The Gavita® Pro 900e LED 120-240 V power cables connect to a NEMA Receptacle. The Gavita® Pro 900e LED 277 V uses an open-end cable.
