SAFETY NOTICE
All power wiring must be performed by a competent electrician, appropriately licensed in the jurisdiction where the installation takes
place. All electrical work must be done in full compliance with all electrical and safety norms applicable to the installation site. Isolate
all power feeds before opening the enclosure.
Tempest Lighting, Inc., its employees and agents will not be held responsible for damage or injury caused by disregarding this notice.
Electrical Standards
Important:
Enclosure model numbers including .US are for use in countries using US and Japanese style electrical systems:
200-208VAC 50/60Hz
Enclosure model numbers including .IN are for use in countries using European style electrical systems:
220-250VAC 50/60Hz
Note:
(1) All Monsoon and Monsoon G4 exhaust fans are 120VAC, regardless of electrical standard. The control electronics
provide a variable ac supply to the exhaust fans up to 120V.
(2) Heaters are rated 200-250V, dependent on electrical standard.
(3) Electronics are autosensing for any voltage 90-265VAC, 50/60Hz
(4) Monsoon enclosures may be supplied wired for 120V operation to special order.
Local Isolator Switch
Tempest strongly recommends installing a local 2-pole
isolator switch on the AC power supply to the enclosure,
so that technicians may safely perform maintenance on
the enclosure and its contents. In some jurisdictions this
is a code requirement.
Use lockout and tagout procedures in compliance with
local electrical codes and safe working practices.
If using the split power feed feature, two isolators will be
required.
ALWAYS ISOLATE POWER TO THE MONSOON ENCLOSURE

DEC4 Ethernet Adapter –51.EN
As a default, DEC4 communicates using DMX512 and RDM, over RS485.
With the addition of the 51.EN Ethernet board, any DEC4 –or any group of DEC4 boards connected using RS485 –may be
connected to an Ethernet network –see above.
Default Configuration
The bridge module is supplied in DHCP TCP port server configuration, with all traffic on port 3308.
These settings may be changed with a web browser on port 80 at the DHCP assigned address. Login to
the home page using ‘admin’ for user name as password.
The bridges may be discovered with a UDP broadcast on port 1500 and a payload of
(Hex) 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

Tempest Equipment Management Protocol
TEMP allows you to access status information and set
configuration values on DEC3.3 and DEC 4 enclosure
controllers, using the 51.EN Ethernet Adapter, over an
Ethernet network.
Download the Developer Guide at
www.tempest.biz/tech_support
IMPORTANT:
Tempest warrants that, if correctly implemented, TEMP will
provide a reliable and accurate method of monitoring
Tempest DEC3 and 4 controllers over an Ethernet network.
However, the integrator is entirely responsible for the
connection between the Ethernet Bridge and the network.

DMX/RDM Monitoring Network
Note: Tempest System Manager and web-based monitoring will be available early 2017
The 2000.195 JESE RDM-TRI MK2 passes
DMX information from a show control
system to each DEC4 controller.
Set a DMX address for each controller in the
range 1-510. See DEC4 section below for
more information.

Monsoon G4 User Manual 17
RS485 (DMX/RDM) Cable Terminations
Loop a shielded twisted pair cable (eg Belden 9841, though
many people now use a CAT5e cable) from the
control/monitoring point, around all enclosures.
Maximum total cable length is 1,200M (4,000ft). For longer
runs and wildly distributed systems, use a DMX/RDM
splitter (make sure that it supports RDM) and multiple
cable runs.
Use the termination switch to terminate each RS485 cable
run at the last enclosure on each run.
Luminaire Power Control using DMX512
The DEC4 controller includes a 30A 2-pole relay that
protects the enclosed equipment in the event of a serious
high temperature event by cutting off power.
You may use DMX512 to control power to the luminaire
inside the enclosure. This is very useful in hot locations,
where the luminaire may be stressed by being held in
standby mode all day under hot sun. By powering the
luminaire down it will tolerate much higher temperatures
without harm.
Tempest recommends the JESE RDM-TRI interface to
monitor enclosure status in any installation and control the
enclosure power relay in smaller systems.
More complex installations are very likely to include some
kind of show control system that will certainly include DMX
control. This is the preferred method of controlling power
to the luminaires.
JESE RDM-TRI interface connects to
a PC via USB to monitor and control
a network of Tempest enclosures.

Digital Enclosure Control
DEC4TM –that’s Digital Enclosure Control, fourth
Generation –is the brain of your Tempest enclosure. It will
maintain the internal environment in a comfortable
temperature and humidity range, and prevent
condensation –the real killer of outdoor equipment. DEC4
monitors internal and external temperature, humidity and
lamp current at all times, and uses this information to
control the enclosure’s lamp relay, fan(s) and heater(s). It
can report back over an RS485 network, using the RDM
protocol (Remote Device Management), or connect to
your TCP/IP network for remote monitoring and
management using Tempest’s TEMP protocol.

DEC4 Main Functions
1. Sense current to luminaire (lamp on/off)
2. Record lamp hours
3. Monitor temperature and humidity inside
Enclosure
4. Monitor temperature outside enclosure
5. Maintain internal temperature at safe operating
level
6. Maintain relative humidity within safe limits to
prevent condensation
7. Isolate luminaire in case of unsafe temperature
8. Report status over RS485, RDM, TCP/IP
9. Maintain positive pressure (optional) 24/7 to
prevent ingress of salt air and other
contaminants
10. Circulates air internally to prevent hot and cold
spots when luminaire is idle
DEC3.3 constantly monitors the following parameters:
•Luminaire/Luminaire current
•Line Voltage
•Temperature
•Humidity
DEC 3.3’s patented GoldilocksTM algorithm uses a combination
of sensors, heaters and fans to maintain a safe operating
temperature and a safe relative humidity level that will not
allow condensation to take place.
As air is heated it is able to support more moisture without
condensing, so Goldilocks uses heat to raise the air temperature
inside the enclosure in the event that relative humidity
approaches dewpoint.
Factory Settings –Basic Mode
In most applications, DEC3.3 will operate correctly with its
factory default settings, in Basic operating mode.
You do not need to do anything. Please skip to the Power
Connections section below.
•Standard default temperature and humidity settings
•DMX, RDM and Remote Monitoring disabled
•Best for standalone operation
•Supports TEMP remote monitoring –see appendix
If your needs are more complex, read on.

Monsoon G4 User Manual 20
Other Operating Modes
Monitor Mode
As Basic mode, plus:
• RDM status reporting over RS485
• RDM configuration – settings may be changed remotely or at
the enclosure control panel
Control Mode
As Basic mode, plus:
•Enclosure functions as a 1-channel DMX device, with
remote control of the lamp relay
oDMX level > 75% enables normal relay operation
(normally ON)
oDMX level < 25% disables normal relay operation
(relay turns OFF)
oThis allows you to force a hard reset of the lamp relay
in the event of a luminaire malfunction
•Control mode is recommended for show control
applications, but can be risky in live show operation, since
the DMX slot used for the enclosure MUST be kept high to
prevent the lamp relay from opening.
Service Mode
For trained service personnel only
•Normal operation is suspended and the enclosure
functions as a 3-channel DMX device:
oLamp Relay (Slot 1)
oFans (Slot 2)
oHeater (Slot 3)
•Service mode is ONLY for troubleshooting –DO NOT use
Service mode for normal operation.
