The Fluence Dimmer is a reliable, user-friendly dimmer that controls the light intensity from 0-100% of Fluence light fixtures.
This device allows growers to control the light intensity of their Fluence light fixtures via an easy-to-use up/down arrow function, and clearly shows the user their light output intensity percentage via a digital display. This dimmer is meant to control the overall light intensity and maintain a set point of your Fluence LED light fixtures. It is not a relay or digital schedule timer to control photoperiod. Please contact Fluence to find out more about available photoperiod schedule control solutions
Whats included in the box?
- AC Power Adapter: U.S. Plug AC Power Adapter provides 12VDC power for the Whisper dimmer. 120V wall outlet or power strip required.
- Signal Wire Connectors: Two 2-position terminal connectors are included to connect the dimming signal wires. Use one and keep the second as a spare
The dimmer connects to each Fluence fixture via a threaded or push-lock connector (provided) through an adjustable PWM or 0-10V signal switch, and can be daisy-chained to connect up to 50 fixtures (not to exceed 200 feet of signal wire) off a single dimmer.
A battery-backup ensures light levels are maintained in the event of a brief power outage to the dimmer.
This dimmer should be installed away from wet environments and areas likely to be splashed with water, and always dry hands thoroughly before using. Do not install this dimmer in environments with 80%+ humidity.
Note: Extending the signal wire more than 200 feet will weaken the signal strength and may reduce the total number of fixtures that can be dimmed.
Note: This dimmer is meant to control the overall light intensity of your Fluence Bioengineering fixture(s). It is not meant to act as a timer to control photoperiod. Please use a switch or timer to power fixtures on/off for photoperiod control.
