Drainage
For base up/globe down or horizontal operation, a small drainage hole will be drilled in the globe,
to permit any water draining through the enclosure to exit harmlessly.
This will normally be done at the factory, but if done on site, YOU MUST USE THE APPROPRIATE
TAPERED DRILL BIT, OBTAINABLE FREE OF CHARGE FROM TEMPEST LIGHTING. A standard drill
bit may crack the plexiglass globe. Tempest Lighting will not be responsible for such damage.
Horizontal Enclosures –be sure to replace the globe with the drainage hole at the lowest point
after relamping.
Note: A tapered drill bit is included with all Tornado 1900-1950 shipments. Weep holes must be
drilled on site as part of the installation process.

Cyclone Enclosure User Manual page 16
Installation above public Spaces
If the Tornado enclosure is to be installed above an area accessible to the public (eg a street or an
auditorium), some jurisdictions require a safety bond to be installed.
A stainless steel eyebolt is included with base-up and horizontal versions, and should be installed
as follows:
1. Remove one of the four bolts holding the Unistrut onto the enclosure base
2. Replace it with the eye bolt, washer and nut supplied, and screw down tight
Safety Bond
Use a suitably-rated steel wire rope, threaded through the eyebolt, and
attach securely to a structural member, in accordance with local safety
regulations.

Cyclone Enclosure User Manual page 17
3Wiring and Control
 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.
1Switch off power to the branch circuit, carefully following lockout and tag-out procedures. Failure to do so
could cause serious injury or death.
2You will need two electrical junction boxes, located within a short distance from the enclosure, one for power,
one for DMX control. Use outdoor-rated flexible conduit between the box and the enclosure.
3AC and control circuits must be wired in separate conduits.
Conduit entry holes
Power and DMX conduit entries
The conduit entry holes accept US ½” conduit fittings, and
international 20-22mm (OD) conduit fittings.
For temporary installations, use a suitable cable and clamp in the
same openings.

One or Two Power Circuits?
Single Feed Split Feed
Tempest enclosures may be wired on single or double line supplies. On a single feed, both
enclosure and luminaire are permanently on. With a double-line supply, you can switch off the
luminaire when not in use, while the enclosure continues to protect it 24/7.
Single Feed
Enclosure and luminaire are permanently on.
Enclosure and Luminaire must be rated for the same voltage.
Supply must be rated for luminaire current plus 150 watts.
Supply must be permanently ON.
Split feed
Enclosure power must be permanently ON.
Luminaire power may be switched off.
Enclosure power must be rated for 1150 watts.
Luminaire power must be rated for the luminaire (see luminaire manual).
Luminaire and enclosure power must be same voltage.
Either way, the enclosure must be powered 24/7, in order to protect the luminaire inside against
condensation and extremes of temperature.
Since the enclosure heater(s) never operate when the projector/fixture lamp is on, it is NOT
necessary to rate the power service for the SUM of the enclosure and the projector/light fixture.
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.

4Digital Enclosure Control
DEC3.3TM with GoldilocksTM
DEC3.3TM –that’s Digital Enclosure Control, third Generation, revision 3 –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. DEC3.3
monitors internal 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 the DMX cable,
using the RDM protocol (Remote Device Management) if desired.
From summer 2013 DEC is running Tempest’s new GoldilocksTM operating system (patents
pending). A completely new OS, Goldilocks analyzes temperature and humidity trends, targeting
and maintaining safe ranges, and acting to prevent condensation before it happens. Goldilocks is
also much more energy-efficient than previous generations, so your equipment is always in the
Goldilocks zone, and you save money too.
