Description
Fluence AC Cords are the power connection between standard AC outlets and Fluence lighting fixtures. They are six feet long, feature an NEMA L7-15P plug to M19 thread connector combination. These cables are used in wet and humid environments like greenhouses and vertical farms.
Key Features
Here are the key advantages of using Fluence AC Cords:
1. High Safety Standards
Fluence AC Cords comply with UL 1581 VW-1 flame-test requirements. This rating indicates that the cord jacket and insulation help retard the spread of fires. Users can trust the cables to be completely safe to use even in warm, damp places.
2. Rated for Damp and Wet Locations
The materials and construction of the cable prevents moisture ingress. This also means that the cord is great for use in high humidity environments or places where occasional splashes are possible. There will be fewer power outages to growers and less potential for electrical issues.
3. Secure Connector Design
- NEMA L7-15P Plug: The twist lock plug is inserted into a compatible 277 VAC outlet. Physically locking the USB in RAMBO to ensure continuity of power.
- M19 Threaded Connector: The other end of the M19 connector screws onto Fluence fixtures. This threaded coupler locks in place so the connection is secure even if the fixture or cord is moving.
4. Plug-and-Play Installation
Fluence AC Cords require no hard wiring or special tools. The NEMA plug is plugged into an outlet, and an M19 connector is screwed into the light. The simple design minimizes set-up errors and cuts down on maintenance.
5. Durable Construction
The jacket cord material is equivalent to VDE type H07RN-F and is rated for oil resistance and outdoor use. It withstands bending, pulling and all types of wear and tear that seem to be so common in a busy grow operation. This durability can withstand breaks and extend the cord’s life.
Warranty and Support
Fluence backs each AC Cord with a five-year limited warranty. If a cord fails under normal use during that period, Fluence will repair or replace it at no cost. In addition, growers have access to Fluence’s technical support team. Whether it is a question about compatibility or troubleshooting an installation, expert help is available, whether it’s a phone call or an email.
Compatibility and Applications
Fluence AC Cords work with all major Fluence lighting platforms, including RAY, RAZR, SPYDR, and VYPR series fixtures. Typical applications include:
- Greenhouse Installations: Cords deliver power to high-output fixtures across long rows of plants. Their moisture rating means they are protected against condensation and misting.
- Vertical Farming Racks: Small spaces for multi tiers. The 6-ft length and secured connectors make it easy to run behind shelving and bracing.
- Growth Chambers and Research Labs: When it comes to research, precision in the environment is everything. These cords provide a consistent power flow without sparks or shorting.
How to Install
Here is a guide to the process for first-time users
- Check the NEMA L7-15 receptacle for any damage or debris, and make sure power is off.
- Plug the NEMA L7-15P plug into the outlet. Twist to lock it into place.
- Twist the M19 connector to the corresponding jack on the Fluence light. Spin until finger-tight, then turn a quarter-turn with a wrench if necessary.
- Restore power at the breaker. Operate the fixture and ensure it operates properly.
