Connecting The Led Light Bars; Installing The Fixture - PHOTONTEK XT 1000W CO2PRO Manual

6.1.3 Connect the LED light bars
Ensure the driver is secured and flip the fixture over so the
driver is now underneath. Insert the end
of the light bar with the hook into the square
hole in Frame A
Assemble the rest of the light bars into the fixture frame as shown in the figure above.
The light bars are shipped with protective plastic covers over the diodes.
WARNING!
Please ensure these protective covers are removed before use!
6.2 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.
At least one light bar must be installed in the fixture before switching on.
WARNING!

6.3 Installing the fixture

Mount the system to something that can hold the weight of the LED fixture.
WARNING!
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 (CO
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 CO
1500µmol/s/m² PPFD supplemental CO
Warning! Exposing crops to ultra high PPFD without supplemental CO
The LED fixture can be used without supplemental CO
increase light footprint to 6 x 6ft.
Then insert the other end; align the round hole
