PHOTONTEK PTEKLED020 XT 1000W CO2 LED 1000 Watt Led Grow Light

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the XT 1000W CO2 Pro linear multi-light bar LED fixture. This manual describes how to install and use the XT 1000W fixture; please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or operate any XT Series LED system.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The XT 1000W CO2 Pro LED is an electronic horticultural LED fixture using a linear array design with ten 100W LED light bars. The XT 1000W CO2 Pro is a highly efficient ultra-high intensity full-cycle grow lighting solution for commercial horticulture cultivation. The XT 1000W CO2 Pro has the power and flexibility to scale from vegetative growth to higher light intensities in bloom. Designed for use in a CO2 enriched environment, the XT 1000W CO2 Pro LED can be positioned closer to the plant canopy for very high PPFD levels which require supplemental carbon dioxide (CO2 ) for crops to fully utilise for photosynthesis. The XT 1000W CO2 Pro LED can be used without supplemental CO2 but should be positioned at a greater hanging height from plant canopy, increasing the light footprint but reducing the PPFD level. In this manual the XT 1000W CO2 Pro LED will be referred to as: “the LED fixture.

• 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 tempera- tures of 40ºC.
• 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.

CONTENTS

INSTALLATION

• WARNING! Mounting and installing the LED fixture must be in accordance with the 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 to help prevent electromagnetic interference.
• WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect the LED fixture under load.

Fixture assembly & installation 

Please take care when assembling fixture and ensure all connections are true and secure

Assemble the frame

Note the direction when installing; the LED driver mounting bracket is on top when the fixture is hung.

Connect & disconnect the driver

The LED driver is fixed to the mounting bracket with four retention screws through bracket into driver base plate. For greater flexibility the driver can be disconnected from the fixture and used remotely using Photontek 5m LED driver extension cables (sold separately).

To connect driver output and dimming to fixture; ensure the power and dimming self-locking male connectors are correctly aligned with corresponding female connectors on driver and push together until click-locked. To disconnect; turn male connector anti-clockwise to unlock and pull apart from female.

Connect the LED light bars

WARNING: The light bars are shipped with protective plastic covers over the diodes. Please ensure these protective covers are removed before use!

Changing and replacing light bars and modular use

Individual 100W light bars are available to purchase as replacements or with different spectral ratios to adjust fixture spectral output. The LED fixture’s modular design uses an intelligent LED driver which can decrease or increase power to match the amount of 100W light bars installed on the fixture automatically. If not all light bars are required, the driver will only draw power required for the amount of light bars connected eg if six light bars are connected the driver will only draw 600W at 100% to power them.

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

Installing the fixture

WARNING! 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. Ensure the fixture is hung horizontally. For shorter hanging heights (50cm) from plant canopy and a 5 x 5ft footprint; supplemental carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is recommended so that the plants can photosynthesize the very high level PPFD produced at this height. For PPFD over 1000µmol/s/m² up to max 1500µmol/s/m² supplemental CO2 at a 1:1 ratio is recommended. i.e. at 1500µmol/s/m² PPFD supplemental CO2 at 1500ppm is advised. Warning! Exposing crops to ultra high PPFD without supplemental CO2 can be detrimental to plant growth. The LED fixture can be used without supplemental CO2 at greater hanging heights (1m+) as this will decrease PPFD and will increase light footprint to 6 x 6ft.

Connecting the manual dimmer or external lighting controller

The dimmer control or lighting controller is connected to the Signal 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 LED Fixture uses 0-10V signal protocol for control. Position and hang each fixture appropriately. Connect manual dimmer or lighting controller signal cord to ‘SIGNAL IN’ connector.

• Connect controller output signal wire to fixture 1 SIGNAL in connector. Connect signal wire from fixture 1 SIGNAL OUT connector to fixture 2 SIGNAL IN connector.
• Continue to connect fixtures in series for up to 100 fixtures per controller, see figure below..

Connecting the LED fixture to the mains

• WARNING! Make sure mains power is switched off.
• WARNING! Ensure the power supply cord is not coiled and does not touch any hot surfaces.
• WARNING! Connect the cabling according to local rules, safety regulations and electrical code.
• WARNING! If not using an external lighting controller ensure external switching gear can cope with the inrush current of the LED fixture. Always use a timer contactor suitable for switching a capacitive load. Never use household timers to switch the LED fixture!
• WARNING! 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.
