AMBIENT OPERATING CONDITIONS
This grow light is only intended for indoor environments with climate control. It is suitable
for damp locations but should not be used outdoors or in wet environments with direct
exposure to strong jets of water. Installation of grow lights should always follow local
installation and safety regulations. DO NOT INSTALL YOUR ÆRIX LBR003 GROW LIGHT
OUTDOORS OR IN A WET ENVIRONMENT.
LED grow lights generate heat. Maintain the temperature within the growing space below
104 °F (40 °C). Exceeding this temperature may stress the electronic components,
leading to shortened lifetime and decreased reliability.

POWER ROUTING
Only connect the Ærix grow light to power sources with the correct voltage (100-277 V
AC, 50/60 Hz) using one of the provided power cords. Protect the power cords from
being damaged in any way. Only connect the Ærix grow light to an electrical outlet of
appropriate type and rating. Be particularly cautious when routing the power cords.
1. The power cords must not be secured to the building structure
2. The power cords must not be concealed or routed through ceilings, floors, walls, or
other parts of the building structure
3. The power cords must not be located above a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling
4. The power cords must be routed so that they are not subject to strain and are
protected from physical damage
5. The power cords must be visible over their entire length
6. If you use extension power cords, they must be used within their rated ampacity as
determined for the maximum ambient temperature of 104 °F (40 °C). The Ærix grow
light may draw up to 8A current, depending on the light intensity setting and the
voltage of the power source.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
The fuse MUST be replaced by AEssenseGrows or a qualified service agent to avoid any
hazards.
1. Disconnect power
2. Remove the Main Body side panel adjacent to the AC power connector
3. Disconnect the fuse holder and replace the fuse with type 10A/500V/5x20mm
(Littelfuse 477 series or similar)
4. Reconnect fuse holder and reinstall side panel

COMMISSIONING – AES LINK CONNECTION (AETRIUM SYSTEM)
1. Use the AES Link cable to connect the grow light to the AES Link daisy chain
a. Make sure the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is on
b. Make sure the grow light is not connected to power
c. Connect the “Light comm. IN” to the PDU (with a “341-00147-02” cable) or to the
adjacent grow light closer to the PDU (with a “341-00168-01” or “341-00175-01”
cable)
d. Connect the “Light comm. OUT” to the adjacent grow light farther from the PDU (if
any) (with a “341-00168-01” or “341-00175-01” cable)
e. Connect “Sensor comm.” to the Sensor Bridge (if any)
f. Turn on the grow light by plugging the AC power cord into the wall outlet – make
sure no one is looking directly at the LEDs when power is connected)
g. It may take the network up to one minute to index the light
2. If the PDU loses power, it may not be able to reconnect to the grow lights. If this
happens, just turn the grow lights off and on again
Away from PDU Toward PDU To Sensor Bridge
GENERAL CARE
Regularly clean the grow light with a dry cloth to ensure optimal cooling. Switch off mains
power before cleaning. Check your electrical connections regularly.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION HEIGHT
Selecting the right installation height is a careful balancing act. The goal is to maximize
light uniformity, minimize light losses, and avoid creating hot spots (areas with too much
light intensity). The plants reach their maximum height just before harvest. You should
install the AErix grow light relative to this expected mature plant height (“highest canopy
level”). You can increase the light uniformity by mounting the grow lights higher but this
will increase light losses as well. Hot spots can be avoided by making sure the plants are
never closer than 6” to the AErix grow light.
1. In Large Scale Cultivation light losses aren’t critical due to significant light overlap
from adjacent grow lights so we recommend that you optimize light uniformity by
mounting the AErix grow lights 12” to 20” above the expected highest canopy level.
2. In Evaluation Grows we recommend that you minimize light losses by mounting the
AErix grow lights 6” above the expected highest canopy level.
