4. 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.

5. Modifications to the cords can lead to unwanted electromagnetic effects, which makes the product not comply with legal requirements.

6. Do not expose the LED fixture to:
   a. ambient temperature outside the specified range;
   b. dust and contamination;
   c. direct sunlight during use or HID light that could heat up the ballast.

7. Store the LED fixture in a dry and clean environment, with an ambient temperature of -4-180⁰F (-20-80⁰C).

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

9. 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 afterwards can result in severe burns!

10. Do not use the LED fixture near flammable, explosive or reactive substances. Do not use sulfur vaporizers.

11. 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.

12. Regularly check the LED fixture for dust or dirt buildup. Clean if necessary. Contamination may cause overheating and decreased performance. Clean the outside of the LED fixture using a dry or damp cloth.

13. Regularly check the cables of the LED fixture to ensure it is undamaged.

14. These photobiological safety markings are based on testing of the light output characteristic of a single horticultural luminaire. Increased exposure risk to facility personnel may be present depending upon the number of horticultural luminaires and their placement and/or positioning within the plant growth facility. It is the responsibility of the plant growth facility to address these risks at the facility level and to ensure that people entering the plant growth areas while the lights are on, are aware of these risks and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

Important UL Warnings

1. Required minimum 15cm distance between adjacent lighting equipment and between the lighting equipment and combustible material such as walls, ceilings, movable partitions, and the like; and between lighting equipment and other heat generating equipment.

2. SUITABLE FOR OPERATION IN AMBIENT NOT EXCEEDING 40 ⁰C.

3. A mechanical ventilation or colling system is required to maintain the temperature within the growing space below 40⁰C when the horticultural luminaire is in operation.

4. SUITABLE FOR DAMP LOCATIONS.
   a. Are not concealed or extended through a wall, floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building structure;
   b. Are not located above a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling;
   c. Are not permanently affixed to the building structure;
   d. Are routed so that they are not subject to strain and are protected from physical damage;
   e. Are visible over their entire length; and
   f. Are used within their rated capacity as determined for the maximum temperature of the installed environment specified in the instructions.

5. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.

Product Dimensions

Install LED Bars

Place the two brackets on a flat working surface. Place the LED bar onto the brackets and press both ends down until they click. Repeat the process to assemble all LED bars onto the brackets.

Before the next step, check to make sure LED bars are secured.

Install Support Bars

Flip the brackets over with the LED bars so that LED chips facing down. Attach the two support bars onto brackets and secure with the lock nuts. Hand tighten until snug.

Install Driver Assembly

OPTION 1: INSTALL DRIVER ASSEMBLY TO SUPPORT BARS

Place the driver assembly onto the support bars and make the DC ports align with the DC cable on the bracket. Secure the driver assembly with the lock nuts and hand tighten until snug.

OPTION 2: INSTALL DRIVER ASSEMBLY TO SUPPORT STRUCTURE OR WALL SURFACE

The driver assembly can be installed to a wall surface directly or install the driver assembly to the support bars first and then secure the support bars to the support structure with cable ties.

Note: The driver assembly must be installed near the LED fixture to make sure the AC and DC cables can be connected directly. If the DC cable is not long enough, please contact Volt customer service for extension cables (sold separately).
The total length of series connections must less than 78 inches (2m).

Connect DC Cable on the Bracket

Connect the DC cable on the bracket to the DC port on the driver assembly. Tighten the lock cap on the connector

Connect AC Power Cable

Connect one end of the AC power cable to the AC port on the bracket and connect the other end of the AC power cable to the AC port on the driver assembly. Tighten the lock caps on the connectors.

Connect the Hanging Cables

Attach the hook of the hanging cable to the loop on the bracket.

Install Pulley Ropes

Hang the pulley ropes to the support structure by wrapping the pulley rope around the support structure and make a knot at the end of the rope. Attach the two hanging cables to the same hook on one pulley rope. Attach the rest of the hanging cables to the same hook on the other pulley rope. Adjust the ropes length on the pulley to level the LED fixture. The minimum hanging height of the LED fixture to the top of the target is the 6 inches.

Connect Volt Controller to Driver

Connect the cable from Volt controller to dimming port on the driver. Tighten the lock cap.

Note: Only a Volt controller is recommended (sold separately). Contact Volt customer service to get more information.

Install AC Power Cable with Plug

Connect the connector end of the AC power cable with plug to AC port on the bracket.
Tighten the lock cap. Insert the plug on the other end of the AC power cord to the wall outlet.

Note: AC power cables vary according to input volts. For more information, contact our Volt customer services.

Connect Multiple LED Fixtures

Connect the connector end of the AC power cable to the AC port on the bracket of the first LED fixture.

Connect the second LED fixture to the first LED fixture by connecting the ends of the AC power cable to the AC ports. Repeat this process to connect more LED fixtures.

Refer to the following table to determine maximum fixture connections.

NOTE: After final install rotate individual bars as needed.
