IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS
• Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or
operate any Fluence SPYDR 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 and SPYDR 2i 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 Series systems are 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.
For detailed instructions for maintenance and cleaning,
please visit www.fluence.science/support/.
SPYDR LED solutions are
high-performance lighting systems.
Do not touch while in operation.
Last and most important, please
recycle all packaging material.
Future generations will thank you.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Take caution when handling light bars. Ensure the LED
array does not come in contact with sharp objects or
force that may damage the diodes.
Unbox and unfold module and place on flush, s
table surface.
There are two ways to mount your power supply: attach
to the light bars or remote mount to a surface.
A. Ensure the quick-release mechanism on light
bar clip is positioned according to diagram before
sliding into place. The spring tab will lock light bar into
place when properly centered.
i. When the module is unfolded and LEDs are
facing down against the flush surface, attach
Power Supply Light Bar Brackets to the center
two bars and press firmly until they snap into place.
SAFTEY NOTE: Light Bar Brackets must be
installed only on the light bars and parallel to
the ground mounted to the light bars

ii. Identify the bracket lock receivers on the underside of the power
supply enclosure.
iii. Place power supply enclosure on top of brackets, aligning
the bracket mounts with the bracket receivers.
iv. Reach under the power supply and twist the bracket locks
into place.
v. Once the power supply enclosure is installed, do not attempt to
fold the SPYDR 2 module. Doing so will cause significant damage to
the fixture.
B. Remote mount:
To remote mount the power supply, refer to the mounting instruction manual.

WARNING
Risk of electrical shock.
To reduce the possibility
of serious injury,
always take the proper
precautions and unplug
the fixture before moving
or cleaning.
WARNING
Fixture and power
supply are UL 1598
Wet Location rated but
are not designed to be
submerged in water. In
the event that the module
or power supply enclosure
becomes submersed, first
disengage the circuit
breaker, then unplug
submersed components
before proceeding to
remove from water.
CAUTION
To prevent eye damage,
avoid looking directly at
the unshielded LEDs.
CAUTION
LED and heat sink
surfaces may be hot.
Allow sufficient cooling
time before handling.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of
overheating or fire,
never place operating
fixtures face down on
a flush surface. Always
allow for adequate
ventilation of fixtures
and power supplies.
ETL Rating: SPYDR fixtures are rated suitable for wet locations. A “wet location” is defined as an interior or exterior location in
which water or other liquids may drip, splash or flow on or against the electrical components of a lighting fixture. SPYDR Series
fixtures and power supply are certified to meet UL standards (ETL) from the Intertek safety consulting and certification company.
Systems are cETL listed and are rated IP66 by IEC standard 60529.
1 PPF calculations compiled using integrating sphere measurements and typical spectroadiometric data for each LED to determine typical fixture performance. Actual photometric results
may vary within the LED manufacturer’s bin tolerance.
2 Wattage values are typical expected values. Fluence maintains a tolerance of +- 10% on flux and power specifications. Target light levels can vary from projected levels depending on
ambient temperature, room reflections values and dirt accumulation.
