IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS
• Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or
operate any Fluence SPYDR 2 Series 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 or call us for help.
• NOTICE: The SPYDR 2x, SPYDR 2p, SPYDR 2i and SPYDR 2h are high-
performance lighting systems. Do not touch 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
foes 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
Fluence encourages everyone to experiment and pursue their own techniques.
Every crop is different and everyone has different goals. However, our internal
research has given us insight into several strategies we would like to share.
•Regularly check your plants’ growth and health. Fluence lighting systems
deliver high levels of PAR, typically more than experienced in nature.
Adjustments to H2O, CO2, RH, nutrients, and temperature are typically required.
• Mount the fixture at least 6” from the top of your canopy to ensure optimal
uniformity and consistent PPFD. The SPYDR Series was designed to provide
uniform light dispersion and requires precise deployment. A 1” variation in
either direction will have a significant change in uniformity and PPFD (which
may or may not be desired).
• 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.

GENERAL CARE
SPYDR 2 system is passively cooled with zero moving components. They are
designed for harsh environments and years of maintenance-free performance.
Some basic care will keep your system operating at peak performance cycle-
after-cycle.
•Natural convection removes heat away from the heatsink. In order for
the system to properly cool itself, at least one inch of space is required
between the console and the roof 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
unplugged from its power source using low-pressure compressed air or
water to rinse away dirt from light bars.
• Never use a cloth to clean the diode array. Doing so can scratch or
compromise the integrity of the silicon seal, or dislodge diodes entirely.
• To limit degradation, avoid touching the diodes with your hands, even in a
powered off state.

LANCE HANGERS AND ADJUSTABLE KIT
Suggested application: Ideal for two-point hanging from areas with high
clearance, such as ceilings or other support structures. Hardware included: 2
lance hangers (and adjustable Gripple kit if upgraded at the time of purchase).
Before you mount the SPYDR module, complete the steps to attach the power
supply to the light bars as outlined in the User Guide. PLEASE NOTE: The
power Supply Enclosure MUST be mounted on the center two light
bars before hanging with the Lance Hanger.
To mount your SPYDR using the lance hangers, place SPYDR fixture gently
below the desired hanging area. Identify two points on the structure that
align with center hinges on the SPYDR module.
Hang either the adjustable Hanger kit (if upgraded at time of purchase)
or desired hanging hardware to the support structure, above the center
hinges. If using the Adjustable Hanger Kit, first loop the two cables
around the support structure and thread the straight end through the
fixed loop. Then thread each straight end through the Gripple hook and
pull it up the cable.
On the inside of the SPYDR module there are four lancet openings. The
lance hanger will slide into the inside-two lancet openings. Place lance
hanger under opening, and gently pull the hanger up from the center of
the hanger until the loops snap into place.
