2 Installation Safety and Warnings These warnings are for your protection. Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death. Tempest Lighting, Inc. assumes no responsibility for damages or injury incurred by misuse or mishandling of product. Do not attempt to install or operate the enclosure before fully reading and understanding this manual Never allow anyone who has not read this manual to open the enclosure or perform maintenance on the projector within.
Planning Snow clearance: MINIMUM 24”/60cm Observe the following MINIMUM clearances around enclosure for access and ventilation.
Mounting The Cyclone enclosure is provided with a pair of stainless steel Unistrut channels on the enclosure base, for mounting to your structure. You may use standard Unistrut accessories, or purchase mounting kits from Tempest Lighting – four kits are required per enclosure. Each Enclosure must be mounted with FOUR points. 8400 and up must be mounted with SIX points when suspended from a structure. All mountings must be made using the two Unistrut channels on the base of the enclosure.
Stacking Cyclone Enclosures Cyclone enclosures may be stacked, using the Cyclone Stacking Kit accessory. Item # 8000.
Cyclovator Tilt Kit Cyclone enclosures are often used on video mapping projects where the angle of the projected beam needs to be more than the projector’s lens shift range. The Cyclovator Tilt Kit allows the projector to be tilted up to 80˚up or down, and then returned to horizontal for servicing. IT IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT that the projector only be slid out of the enclosure for service when the enclosure is horizontal.
Cyclone HUSH Enclosures Cyclone HUSH enclosures must be provided with an exhaust duct for exhaust air, from the top of the enclosure to a location where the noise of the Cyclone fans will not be heard. This is usually an insulated ceiling void, drop ceiling, an adjoining room, or an outside wall. The exhaust duct is normally installed by an air conditioning installer, and rated for airflow as follows: Cyclone 8000, 8100 HUSH 500cfm 0.25m3/s Cyclone 8200 and up 1,000cfm 0.

3 Wiring All electrical work must be carried out by a properly licensed electrician, in compliance with local electrical standards. Failure to observe this point will void the factory warranty for the Tempest Enclosure. 1 Switch off power to the branch circuit, carefully following lockout and tag-out procedures. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
One or Two Power Circuits? 1 Single Feed 1 2 Split Feed Tempest enclosures may be wired on single or double line supplies. On a single feed, both enclosure and projector are permanently on. With a split feed supply, you can switch off the projector when not in use, while the enclosure continues to protect it 24/7. Single Feed Split feed Enclosure and projector are Enclosure power must be permanently ON. permanently on. Enclosure and Projector must be rated for the same voltage.
Single Feed Operation (factory default) 1 Enclosure and projector share the same electrical circuit. Circuit must be powered ON 24/7. Connect incoming power to the terminals labeled MAINS: (E) Earth/Ground (L) Live (N) Neutral E L N Split Feed Operation Enclosure and projector have separate electrical feeds. The enclosure circuit must be powered ON 24/7. When splitting the feeders, both circuits should be on the same phase and at the same supply voltage.
Power Connections IMPORTANT Tempest enclosures are supplied for either 120VAC 50/60Hz, or 208-240VAC, 50/60Hz operation. Tempest Lighting is not liable for damage or failure to operate correctly due to connection to an inappropriate electrical supply. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE UNDERTAKEN BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN, IN COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL NORMS AND STANDARDS.
Auxiliary Power Outlet An auxiliary IEC power outlet is provided for any auxiliary equipment needed (routers, CD players etc) in the enclosure. Wiring is different dependent on electrical standard: North America (208 volt Cyclone enclosures with .US part # suffix) AUX receptacle is UNWIRED. Installer should run a separate 120V supply to back of IEC C14 receptacle. Receptacle is rated 250V, 10 Amps in Europe, 15 Amps North America. International (230 volt Cyclone enclosures with .
Cyclone 840B Ballast Enclosure Christie Roadie and some Christie Cinema Projectors require a separate Ballast, which is too large to fit inside the projector enclosure. Christie allows 100’/30m of DC cable between the ballast and the projector. For outdoor installations when it is not possible to house the ballast in a convenient equipment room, a Cyclone 840B ballast enclosure must be used.
Power Connections to 840B Enclosure The 840B enclosure requires a three phase 208V supply in North America, and a 3-phase + neutral 380-415V supply in 230V countries. 1. Remove the enclosure cover and the DEC Cover inside the enclosure. Loosen the two knurled nuts and slide the cover up. Ballast Power Receptacle Knurled knobs DEC Cover 2.

The following Table shows which controller is used in different types of Tempest Enclosure. This section does NOT apply to enclosures with Tempest MiniDECTM Control Enclosure Type DEC3.
DEC3.3 Main Functions 1 Sense current to projector (lamp on/off) 2 Record lamp hours 3 Monitor temperature and humidity inside Enclosure 4 Maintain temperature at safe operating level 5 Maintain relative humidity within safe limits 6 Prevent condensation 7 Isolate projector in case of unsafe temperature 8 Report status over RDM 9 (Optional) remote projector relay control over DMX DEC3.
Operating Modes DEC3.3 may operate in one of four modes, set using either the Front Panel or by RDM control. In all configurations, the projector inside the enclosure may also be an RDM enabled device. Basic Mode (factory setting) • Standard temperature settings • DMX and RDM disabled • Best for standalone operation Monitor Mode • As Basic mode, plus: • RDM status reporting • RDM configuration – settings may be changed remotely or at the enclosure control panel • DEC3.
DEC3.3 Control Parameters Temperature and Humidity Ranges: Cooling Fan(s) Trip Temp (55-70˚C, Default 60 ˚C) Low Upper Temp (35-50˚C, Default 40 ˚C) Relative Humidity (50-90%, Default 80%) Trend Temp (Dynamic) IdealTemp (Dynamic, based on Relative Humidity) High Heater(s) LowerTemp (0-10˚C, Default 0 ˚C) Notes: 1 In moving light enclosures the temperature sensor is located in the exhaust airflow. Temperatures shown may be higher than those around the projector.
DMX Connections DMX refers to USITT DMX512, a commonly used control protocol in the entertainment industry, running over RS485. Consult USITT DMX installation guidelines when laying out a system, or employ a qualified DMX system integrator.
Remote Device Management (RDM) RDM refers to ANSI E1.20, a control protocol in the entertainment industry used for device configuration and monitoring, and essentially an “extension” of DMX512. The use of RDM is optional, and uses the same RS485 cable connection as DMX512, so no additional wiring is required if DMX is already present. The user must ensure that any DMX splitters or other routing devices used are RDM operable as well as DMX use.
Control Interface LED Indicators Heater ON (Green) Heater is ON, to maintain lower temperature level or to prevent condensation Fan ON (Green) Lamp is ON, or Temperature is HIGH and Fan is cooling enclosure.

Firmware Upgrade over RDM DEC3.3 firmware is fieldupgradeable, using RDM. A field upgrade requires a JESE RDM TRI MK1 interface to be connected to the DMX network on which the DEC3.3 is located, and the use of JESE GetSet software. The kit is available from Tempest under part # 2000.190.
5 Mounting the Projector IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST For safety, this must be done by two or more people. IMPORTANT: The projector enclosure MUST be securely mounted BEFORE you attempt to install the projector. The enclosure must be horizontal for projector mounting and projector service. If the projection angle is NOT horizontal, a Cyclovator Tilt Kit should be used, and the projector returned to horizontal for projector mounting and service. 1.
b. For projectors without threaded sockets on the underside, clamps are provided to secure the projector feet to the projector tray, to prevent movement. Projector Foot Clamp slides over feet and bolts to tray front and back. c. Portrait enclosures have a vertical mounting frame. The projector generally bolts to the frame. Projector Bolt, flat washer, spring washer. Type and quantity vary by projector Projector Tray Slide Bolt (x 2) Portrait Projector Mounting Frame mounts on projector tray 3.
5. Return the projector tray into the Cyclone enclosure and check that the lens is aligned with the projection window. Projectors with wide-angle lenses should be positioned with the front of the lens as close to the window as possible to avoid clipping. Lens should be close to center of projection window 6. Connect all cables to the projector, threading them through the flexible cable management track.
b. Slide the projector foot clamps in place over the projector feet and tighten the bolts through the projector tray slots to secure in place. 10. Return the projector tray to the enclosure and lock the two slide bolts in place. Airflow Chimneys Certain projectors in certain enclosure types require additional airflow deflectors, baffles or chimneys to direct the projector’s exhaust air towards the exhaust fans/duct and prevent recirculation and overheating.
Christie Roadie HD35K Projectors These projectors (mounted in Cyclone 8400 enclosures) use an external DC ballast to supply power to the projector lamp, over two 200 Amp single pole cables, with CamLok type single pole connectors. Christie specifies a cable run between ballast and projector of up to 100’/30m. 1. Cyclone 8400 Enclosures supplied for use with these projectors include two CamLok panel receptacles on the rear door, and internal DC wiring to the back of the projector.
6 Closing up the Enclosure 1 Check all electrical connections 2 Clear the enclosure and projector of all dust and debris. 3 Check that the power switch on the projector is in the ON position. 4 Complete all signal connections, following projector manufacturer’s instructions. 5 Test projector 6 Tie down cables so that they will not touch heaters or fans. 7 Replace the cover on the Blizzard base. This may require two people. Congratulations! Your system is now ready for use.
7 Operation Outdoor Enclosures must receive power at all times. Enclosure, and will not provide proper protection for the projector inside if it is not connected to AC power. Unless the enclosure or projector is undergoing routine maintenance, the cover should be in place and locked down at all times. Only authorized personnel should open the enclosure (see maintenance warnings in the next section).
8 Routine Maintenance It is very important to perform routine maintenance on both the enclosure and the projector within. Failure to do so may reduce lifetime for both the enclosure and the projector. Note Maintenance schedules depend on location and environment. The times given here are general guidelines for you to use. It is up to you to judge whether maintenance should be done more often. We do advise doing these tasks no less often than mentioned here.
Air Filter Replacement The air filters should be removed and checked on a regular basis. We recommend initial inspection every three months. Inspection interval may be adjusted based on site conditions. Heater Filter Locking Knobs For HUSH enclosures in clean environments filter life will be much longer than for outdoor enclosures and inspection intervals may be correspondingly longer. Filter Maintenance and Replacement Remove any buildup of dust on the outside of the filter with a vacuum cleaner.
9 Troubleshooting This is a guide to the general symptoms, problems, and solutions that may occur during the lifetime of your enclosure. However, it is important to remember that problems may occur within the projector itself and these must also be considered. Projector does not have power. Check power switch of projector.
