Cyclovator 2 Tilt Kit
SAFETY WARNING
IT IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT that Cyclone enclosures 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 G4 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 G4 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.

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 (d) 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:
For steep projection angles, loosen the four channel nut
bolts and carefully slide the enclosure in the direction
that will be ‘down’.
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 40°.
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 nut (a)
4. You now have two reference locations:

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:
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) Fans and Heaters are rated 200-250V
(2) Electronics are autosensing for any voltage 90-265VAC, 50/60Hz

Cyclone G4 User Manual 18
Wiring Access
Locate the two Conduit entry holes on the underside of
the enclosure:
Conduit openings accept PG21 (International) and ¾” NPT
(North America) conduit fittings.
Use permanent or flexible, outdoor rated, conduit to
connect power and signal cables to your Cyclone
enclosure.
ALWAYS RUN POWER AND SIGNAL CABLES IN SEPARATE
CONDUITS.
NOTE: Layout of Cyclone models may differ slightly
Open the back door, and remove the DEC4 Controller

One or Two Power Circuits?
Tempest enclosures may be wired on single or double
circuit supplies. On a single feed, both enclosure and
projector are permanently on. With a split (double) feed
supply, you can switch off the projector when not in use,
while the enclosure continues to protect it 24/7.
Tip: most people use single feed.
Single Feed
Enclosure and projector are permanently on.
Enclosure and Projector must be rated for the
same voltage.
Supply must be rated for projector current plus
150 watts.
Supply must be permanently ON.
Split feed
Enclosure power must be permanently ON.
Projector power may be switched off.
Enclosure power must be rated for 650 watts.
Projector power must be rated for the projector (see
projector manual).
Projector and enclosure power must be same voltage.
For single feed wiring, no modification to the DEC4
Controller motherboard is needed.
IMPORTANT:
For split feed wiring, use a side cutter to cut both AC links at both
ends:

Split Feed Power Termination
STOP! Did you cut the power links? See above.
Connect Earth/Ground wire to Ground Terminal
Connect Enclosure feed to the terminals marked FEED
Connect Projector feed to the terminals marked SPLIT
Wire Path
Pull incoming AC supply wires through the plastic
grommets shown here.
For clarity, the following diagrams do not show factory
wiring.
Single or Three-Phase?
Most Cyclone enclosures require a single phase 200-
240VAC AC supply (208V –2 hots @120V in US).
In just a few cases, presently:
Some high-output Barco projectors, eg HDQ
Some Christie projectors with external ballast,
eg Roadie 45K, CP4230
…a 3-phase AC supply is required.
Three phase Split Feed
IMPORTANT: Three-phase systems with split feed MUST be factory
configured. You CANNOT change a 3-phase Cyclone between single and
split feed in the field.
AC Supply Voltage
Tempest Cyclone enclosures require supply voltage in the
nominal range 200-250VAC, 50/60Hz.
Tempest G4 enclosures are very tolerant of supply
voltage variations:
DEC4 controller has a universal power supply
and operates on 90-265VAC
Enclosure fans and heaters are rated 200-
250VAC. Fans are over-dimensioned to cool
adequately down to 200V, and heaters
compensate thermostatically by increasing duty
cycle on lower supply voltages.
