Mounting Options –Stacking Kit
Cyclone G4 may be stacked up to three units high, using
the 51.SK stacking Kit. You will need the total number of
Cyclones to be stacked, minus one stacking kit(s).
So, for a stack of three enclosures, order 3-1=2 stacking
kits.
Note: Cyclone enclosures must be of the same model to
stack in this way.
51.SK Stacking Kit (set of four, for one enclosure)
Mounting Options –Swivel Stacking Kit
Cyclone G4 may be stacked two units high, with beams up
to 40°apart, using the Swivel Stacking Kit. Enclosures

Cyclone User Manual 13
Cyclovator 2 Tilt Kit
SAFETY WARNING
IT IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT that Cyclone enclosures
with front or rear slide be horizontal any time you slide
the projector out for service. IT IS DANGEROUS to do this
if the enclosure is not horizontal, and MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PROJECTOR OR INFLICT SERIOUS INJURY
TO PERSONNEL. Tempest Lighting Inc., its agents and
employees, will not be liable for consequences of failure
to heed this safety warning.
Cyclovator 2 may be used for any G3 or G4 Cyclone
enclosure.
The enclosure may be installed at ground level, projecting
up (up onto a building, for example)…
…or, on a rooftop, projecting downwards.
In either case, the maximum tilt angle is 60°.
Cyclovator –Unistrut Mounting Rails
When Cyclone G4 is used with the Cyclovator Tilt Kit, the
Unistrut Kit (55.UR.xxx) is required to attach the
enclosure to the Cyclovator.
‘xxx’ is the Cyclone model number.
Cyclovator –Inlet Cowl
When Cyclone G4 is used with the Cyclovator Tilt Kit, with
a tilt angle greater than 40°, use the inlet cowl 55.IC.xx to
protect the inlet filter from weather.
‘xx’ is the filter size in inches –15 for 55.200-350, 22 for
55.400 and up.
Stainless Steel Unistrut
Rail Kit 55.UR.xxx
Inlet Cowl 55.IC.xx

Cyclone User Manual 14
Fixing the Cyclovator in Place
The Cyclovator MUST be firmly attached to the ground, or
a suitable mounting structure, using four stainless steel
M12 (or US ½” size) bolts or anchors (not supplied).
Suitable substrates include concrete pads, steel
frameworks, roof beams. All mountings must comply with
all relevant building and safety norms in the jurisdiction
of the final installation. It is the responsibility of the
installer to obtain approval from a structural engineer or
other competent person for all such installations, and to
adhere strictly to local building and safety codes at all
times.

Cyclone User Manual 15
Mounting the Enclosure
Make sure that the Unistrut rails are attached securely to
the 4 (or 6) M12 threaded sockets on the bottom of the
enclosure frame.
Set the Cyclovator to its horizontal position:
1. Loosen the two locking knobs (a)
2. Turn the crank handle (b) until the Cyclovator
saddle is horizontal
3. Tighten the two locking knobs (a)
Align the channel spring nuts (c):
4. The distance (E) between the channel nuts
should be the same as dimension E in the
installation page (the distance between centers
of the Unistrut channels)
5. Loosen the channel nut
bolts and align the
channel nuts with their
long sides parallel with
the end of the
Cyclovator saddle:
6. Carefully set the Cyclone enclosure on the
Cyclovator saddle, so that the channel nuts are
INSIDE the Unistrut rails.
7. PUSH UP and tighten the four M12 channel nut
bolts, so that the channel nuts lock in the
Unistrut channels.
8. Loosen the locking knobs and turn the crank
handle to test movement.

Steep Angles:
FIRST, MAKE SURE THE CYCLOVATOR IS SECURELY FIXED
TO THE GROUND.
For steep projection angles, loosen the four channel nut
bolts and carefully slide the enclosure in the direction
that will be ‘UP’.
The center of gravity will still be roughly centered in show
position, but you will have to work a bit harder to crank
the enclosure up to its show trim!
It is important to use the Inlet Cowl accessory for angles
above 30°.
Setting the Show Position Stop
Cyclovator gives you a locator for your show position, for
accurate show positioning.
With the Cyclovator in Show position:
1. Loosen the Locking Collar set screw (a)
2. Slide the Locking Collar firmly against the Acme
Nut Plate (b)
3. Tighten the Locking Collar set screw (a)
4. You now have two reference locations:
•Horizontal
•Show
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT BOTH LOCKING KNOBS (c) ARE
LOOSE WHEN RAISING/LOWERING THE CYCLOVATOR,
AND TIGHT WHEN IN SHOW OR SERVICE POSITION.

Cyclone Angle Mount Kit
The Angle Mount kit is a simple fixed mounting solution for up to two Cyclone enclosures with a tilt angle from 10-45°. Unlike
Cyclovator, once set, the tilt angle is fixed.
The Angle Mount kit may be used on the ground, with projection up to a building, or on a tall structure or flat roof, projecting
down.
Shooting up…. Shooting down…
Angle Mount kits are available in three sizes:
55.AM2 for Cyclone 210 –305
55,AM3 for Cyclone 310, 314, 324
55.AM4 for Cyclone 320, 525
Check with Tempest for Cyclone models not shown here or custom versions.
In certain cases, it will be safe to stack two Cyclone enclosures on one Angle Mount kit. Please note:
•Do not double-stack in exposed locations subject to high winds
•Do not double stack portrait enclosures
•Do not double stack if the tilt angle >30°
Angle Mount Kit Installation
Mark out the mounting pattern on the ground or substrate.
It is the same as the rigging points for the enclosure (see
Installation/Dimensions D and E above).
Use stainless steel hardware suited to the mounting
substrate, and in compliance with local construction codes to
mount the Unistrut rails securely to the substrate.
Use M12 or ½” hardware, 2 sets per Unistrut rail.

Assemble the vertical strut assemblies between the hinged
Unistrut rails, set both to the same desired angle, and tighten
securely.
Mount the Cyclone enclosure on the two upper Unistrut rails,
and secure in place using the four M12 socket cap screws
provided:
Use one stacking kit (51.SK) to double stack a second
enclosure, observing the guidelines outlined above:
Unistrut Channel Nut
M12 Hex Bolt

Please Note:
For tilt angles > 30°, use 51.IC inlet cowl to
protect the inlet filter from wind-blown rain.
In most cases stacking will not be possible for
systems using ActiveCool or AC assist cooling.
Consult Tempest for details.

Cyclone User Manual 19
ActiveCoolTM Cooling System
Tempest ActiveCool is a closed-loop cooling solution
designed to keep sensitive laser projectors at a
constant temperature in any outdoor environment.
ActiveCool comprises the following main components:
1. Cooler Unit
2. Flow hose (150mm/6in padded hose)
3. Return hose (250mm/10in padded hose)
4. Power cable (connects to PowerCon True
TOP outlet on enclosure chassis)
5. Power relay added to enclosure controller
6. Internal recirculation fan
ActiveCool operation is automatic. Simply connect to
the cyclone enclosure, and set the desired
temperature, and the cooler will run automatically
when:
a) The DEC controller senses that the projector
has come out of standby mode
b) The projector is off but the upper
temperature setting has been reached
(normally during daytime in hot sun).
The cooler will maintain an air temperature inside the
enclosure within a few degrees of the target
temperature set in the ActiveCool controller.
Internal and External Airflows
The internal airflow (shown above) is isolated from
outside air, so filtering is not required. The internal air
is also de-humidified by the cooler action.
The external (compressor) airflow is subject to local
atmospheric conditions; in locations subject to salt air
(beaches or ships), chlorine (pool areas) or pollution
(city centers), the Salt Fog filter kit should be used.
This protects the compressor and other cooler
components from airborne contaminants.
The Salt Fog Kit also comes with a large cowl, to
protect the filter from rain and wind-blown dust and
sand –strongly recommended in desert conditions. A
door, operated by air pressure, protects the
compressor exhaust from contamination when the
cooler is not running.
