IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS

• Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or operate any Dimlux Xtreme Series LED system.
• After successful installation and configuration of the system, be sure to retain this manual in a safe place for future reference. Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble-free installation.
• It is important you read, fully understand, and observe the subsequent safety precautions. If you are not comfortable with the installation of high performance lighting systems, you should seek the services of a qualified installation professional.
• NOTICE: Do not touch the fixture besides the control buttons near the display while in operation.
• Connect the system only to the power sources of the appropriate voltage using the AC plug type received. Protect power cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially careful where the power cable enters the power outlet and the unit. Only connect the system to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating. Connect the system only to the power sources of the correct voltage using the plug received.
• 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

CULTIVATION BEST PRACTICES

• Check the growth and health of your plants regularly. Dimlux lighting systems deliver high PPFD levels, typically more than experienced in nature. Adjustments to H2O, CO2, RH, nutrients and temperature are usually required. Because the LED fixture does not give off radiant heat towards the plants, it is recommended to work with the Dimlux Plant temperature camera to determine the correct plant temperature.
• The Xtreme Series LED is designed to provide a uniform light distribution in the shape of a square. How high? There is a very simple and unique way to determine the minimum height of the luminaire. The rule of thumb is that the shortest distance from armature to crop is half the distance between the armatures (centre size) in a multi-luminaire set-up. It doesn’t matter whether the LED is 500 Watt or 1000 Watt. A 1000 Watt fixture should illuminate a larger area than a 500 Watt fixture, which automatically increases the distance between reflector and crop.
• Due to the lack of radiant heat with LED, the plant temperature will be considerably lower than with HPS. As a result, the temperature of the plant and the ambient temperature in the room vary enormously, so controlling for ambient temperature is no longer sufficient. For accurate results, you can measure the temperature of the leaf surface using the Dimlux plant temperature camera that can be connected directly to the LED fixture.
• 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.

WE AT DIMLUX ADVISE TO USE THE DIMLUX PLANT TEMPERATURE CAMERA
With this DimLux plant temperature camera, the DimLux Xtreme Series LED can indicate whether the crop is in the ideal temperature range. If it is outside this range it will be indicated on the display and by the auxiliary lighting. When connected to the Maxi Controller, the lighting dims based on the plant temperature if it gets too high due to, for example, a water shortage. If the set value is exceeded, it is dimmed first to keep the temperature under control. If the temperature rises despite dimming, half of the dimmed lamps will switch off, if the temperature continues to rise, all lamps will switch off for at least 20 minutes.

GENERAL CARE

• Natural convection removes heat away from the heatsink. In order for the system to properly cool itself, at least 5cm (two inch) of space is required between the fixture and the ceiling of your grow area. Failure to do so may shorten the fixture’s lifespan.
• To achieve the optimal lifespan and performance of your fixtures, routinely check for and remove excess dust, debris, and mineral build up from heatsink and LED array.
• Cleaning should always be done with the fixture disconnected from the power source using compressed air to the frame and heatsink or a damp cloth to wipe debris from light bars.
