Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Tempest enclosure! We have worked hard to provide you with the very
best product available for its purpose, and we shall continue to do everything possible to ensure
that it works well for you for many years to come.
Please read this manual before starting work!
In the event of difficulty, please contact your Tempest reseller or Tempest direct:
+1 818 787 8984
We will do everything we can to help you get the very best results from your Tempest enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Safety Advisories
•All installation and rigging work done must where applicable be designed and built in
accordance with norms and standards of the local authority having jurisdiction of the
installation site. It is the responsibility of the installer to obtain such approvals as may be
required to achieve full compliance.
•All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably licensed electrical contractor in full
compliance with local electrical standards.
•Lifting: some enclosures and the equipment inside them may be heavy. Use properly
rated lifting equipment where appropriate and never attempt to carry out work with
fewer than the number of workers needed to lift safely.
•It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all local building, safety and electrical
codes are strictly adhered to in the installation of this enclosure. Tempest Lighting, Inc.,
its employees and agents are in no way responsible for damage arising from failure to
follow either the instructions in this manual or building, safety and electrical codes
prevailing at the installation location.
•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.
•Never leave the enclosure unattended when open.
•Always make sure all bolts and latches are tight and safety locks are in place after
performing any form of maintenance on the unit.
•Do not open any electrical boxes until power has been shut off to all supply lines to the
enclosure (including the one powering the projector).
•Do not open the enclosure in wet weather.

Installation
Integral Cooling
Everything is in the box –air is drawn in through an acoustic foam labyrinth in the enclosure base, and exhausted out of the front
of the enclosure, driven by a variable-speed blower behind the projector, muffled by a further acoustic foam exhaust labyrinth
above the projector chamber.
Note that the exhaust blower captures all the exhaust air leaving the back of the projector, preventing recirculation in the
projector chamber. For projectors with exhausts other than on the back face of the projector chassis, consult Tempest.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE AIR INLET AND EXHAUST VENTS.

Mounting Hardware Options
Mounting Bolts
•HANGING: Each Enclosure MUST be mounted with
all six rigging points.
•STANDING: Each Enclosure must be mounted with
all four rigging points.
•All mountings must be made using the M12
threaded holes on the enclosure chassis.
•Use an 8mm hex key to secure the M12 socket cap
screws provided.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Installer must ensure that all mounting points are secure
and conform to local safety regulations. Tempest Lighting
Inc. accepts no responsibility for damage or injury arising
from inappropriate or unsafe installation.
Unistrut Kit
If mounting positions for the corner bolts are not
convenient, use the Unistrut Kit (55.UR.xxx) to add two
Unistrut rails to the top or bottom of the enclosure.
Using standard Unistrut channel nuts, the enclosure may
now be attached at any point along the Unistrut rails.
Other Mounting Options
Tempest has a wide range of mounting accessories, and
unparalleled experience mounting projector enclosures –

Wiring the Enclosure
Power Wiring
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:
Zen enclosures run on any electrical supply, from 100-250VAC, 50/60Hz.
North America and Japan: 200-208VAC using two hots and no neutral is acceptable, but a neutral should be installed to
supply the two auxiliary equipment outlets at 100-120V.
Power feed Rating:
EITHER Single Feed:
Single circuit, power rating to suit projector plus 150W
OR Split Feed (see next section):
One circuit, power rating to suit projector, AND
One circuit, power rating 200W for enclosure
Note:
(1) AC Fans are 200-250Vac
(2) DC Fans are 48Vdc
(3) Fan Power Supply is autoranging between 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz
(4) DEC Controller is autoranging for any voltage 90-265VAC, 50/60Hz

Zen User Manual 12
Wiring Access
You have a choice of conduit entry points: either on the
top or the back panel.
Conduit openings accept PG21 (International, 29mm
hole) and ¾” NPT (North America) conduit fittings.
Use permanent or flexible conduit to connect power and
signal cables to your enclosure.
ALWAYS RUN POWER AND SIGNAL CABLES IN SEPARATE
CONDUITS.
Using the Conduit Knockouts
Use a screwdriver to bend the inner conduit blank covers
back inside the enclosure. It is not necessary to break off
the cover tabs –just bend them right back.
Wiring Access
Remove the wiring cover and conduit plate screws and
washers and remove both covers.

Enclosure Types –Cooling Control
There are three different Zen electrical/cooling styles –make sure you know which you are working on:
Type A: Zen 100-2xx
Regular Zen models with model numbers below 300 use a 200-250Vac blower with a
4-speed selector switch.
Type B: Zen 3xx-5xx
Regular Zen models 300 and up have 48Vdc blowers, and a variable PWM speed
controller.
Type C: Zen+ (all models)
Zen+ models are equipped with Tempest’s DEC4 controller, with many features,
including remote monitoring. All Zen+ models use variable speed 48Vdc blowers,
with thermostatic speed control from either the DEC user interface or using Tempest
System Manager over a network.
