* Note: Side clearance must be doubled when two enclosures are mounted side by side

Mounting

The Cyclone enclosure is provided with a pair of stainless steel Unistrut channels on the enclosure base, for mounting to your structure. You may use standard Unistrut accessories, or purchase mounting kits from Tempest Lighting – four kits are required per enclosure.

① Each Enclosure must be mounted with FOUR points.
① 8400 and up must be mounted with SIX points when suspended from a structure.
① All mountings must be made using the two Unistrut channels on the base of the enclosure.
(i) Tempest Lighting recommends the use of stainless steel mounting hardware.

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.

These mounting accessories are available from Tempest:

Cyclovator Tilt Kit

Cyclone enclosures are often used on video mapping projects where the angle of the projected beam needs to be more than the projector's lens shift range. The Cyclovator Tilt Kit allows the projector to be tilted up to 80° up or down, and then returned to horizontal for servicing.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - Cyclovator Tilt Kit - 1

IT IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT that the projector only be slid out of the enclosure for service when the enclosure is horizontal. Many of the projectors used in Cyclone enclosures are very heavy, and it is DANGEROUS to slide them when the enclosure is set at an angle.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - Cyclovator Tilt Kit - 2

text_image Diagram showing a green checkmark over a machine and a red X symbol over a document or folder, likely indicating approval or cancellation.

Installing the Cyclovator

  1. Cyclovator must be bolted securely to a solid structure or a concrete pad, using 12 " or M12 stainless steel hardware. Four fixing holes are provided in the Cyclovator base.
  2. The Cyclone enclosure bolts to the Cyclovator using six 5/16" stainless steel bolts provided. The bolts drop through the enclosure base and screw into threaded inserts in the Cyclovator arm.
  3. Using the hand crank, adjust the Cyclovator to the desired angle for the projection show.
  4. Loosen the set screw and slide the locking collar on the threaded rod to make contact with the Acme nut in the Cyclovator arm, and tighten the set screw. This is the show position stop.
  5. Now you can lower the enclosure to horizontal for service and return it accurately to the show position.

Cyclone HUSH Enclosures

Cyclone HUSH enclosures must be provided with an exhaust duct for exhaust air, from the top of the enclosure to a location where the noise of the Cyclone fans will not be heard. This is usually an insulated ceiling void, drop ceiling, an adjoining room, or an outside wall.

The exhaust duct is normally installed by an air conditioning installer, and rated for airflow as follows:

Cyclone 8000, 8100 HUSH 500cfm 0.25m³/s

Cyclone 8200 and up 1,000cfm 0.50m³/s

The Cyclone HUSH enclosure is supplied with a fan plate to be mounted at the far end of the duct. Installer must provide a 3-conductor flexible cable rated at 250VAC, 10 Amps, conforming to local electrical standards, to connect the fan plate to the Cyclone DEC controller, and pulled either through the duct or in a separate electrical conduit.

3 Wiring

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.

1 Switch off power to the branch circuit, carefully following lockout and tag-out procedures. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
2 You will need two electrical junction boxes, located within a short distance from the enclosure, one for power, one for signal (usually CAT5). Use outdoor-rated flexible conduit between the box and the enclosure, to allow for the back door to open.
3 AC and signal circuits must be wired in separate conduits.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - Digital Enclosure Control - DEC3.3 ^TM with Goldilocks ^TM - 1

text_image Heater Fan On Relay Temp DMX Lamp TEMPEST Lamps NR ESC OK

DEC3.3™ – 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 Goldilocks ^™ 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.

  • Humidity

DEC 3.3's patented Goldilocks™ algorithm uses a combination of 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.

If your needs are more complex, read on.

Operating Modes

DEC3.3 may operate in one of four modes, set using either the Front Panel or by RDM control. In all configurations, the projector inside the enclosure may also be an RDM enabled device.

Basic Mode (factory setting)

  • Standard temperature settings
    • DMX and RDM disabled
    • Best for standalone operation

Monitor Mode

  • As Basic mode, plus:
    • RDM status reporting
  • RDM configuration – settings may be changed remotely or at the enclosure control panel
    • DEC3.3 does not require a DMX signal to operate

Control Mode

  • As Basic mode, plus:
    • Enclosure functions as a 1-channel DMX device, with remote control of the lamp relay
  • DMX level > 75% enables normal relay operation (normally ON)
  • DMX level < 25% disables normal relay operation (relay turns OFF)
    This allows you to force a hard reset of the lamp relay in the event of a projector 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:
○ Lamp Relay (Slot 1)
- Fans (Slot 2)
o Heater (Slot 3)

- Service mode is ONLY for troubleshooting – DO NOT use Service mode for normal operation.

DEC3.3 Control Parameters

Temperature and Humidity Ranges:
Tempest Cyclone 8000 - DEC3.3 Control Parameters - 1

other | Temperature Range | Relative Humidity (%) | Heating (s) | | ----------------- | --------------------- | ---------- | | Low | 50-90% | - | | High | 80% | + | | Upper | 35-50% | - | | Trend | - | - | | Ideal | - | - | | Lower | 0-10°C | - | | Trip Temp | 55-70°C, Default 60 °C | - |

Notes:

1 In moving light enclosures the temperature sensor is located in the exhaust airflow. Temperatures shown may be higher than those around the projector.

2 We recommend using the factory default settings for several weeks or months before making any changes. In most cases they will not be necessary.

Max Humidity Range 50-90%, Default 80%

The threshold at which air inside the enclosure is heated to raise dewpoint and prevent condensation. Setting a higher Max Humidity is not a bad thing in high-humidity climates. Setting the Max Humidity too low will result in unnecessary heating and excessive energy use. So set the Max Humidity at the top end of the relative humidity likely to be experienced on site.

DMX Address Range 001-510, Default 001

Sets the DMX address for the lamp relay control. (See also DMX Response)

Set Temp Units Display Degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Default Celsius

Note that temperature settings must always be Celsius.

Lamp Hours Default 0000

Counts lamp hours – you must reset to zero when changing lamps.

Lamp On Point The lamp current at which DEC detects the projector/luminaire lamp is running. Default is 1 Amp, which allows for equipment fans and power supplies to run without changing the air in the enclosure. Lamp on point may be set in 0.2 Amp increments between 0.2 Amps and 2.0 Amps.

DMX Connections

DMX refers to USITT DMX512, a commonly used control protocol in the entertainment industry, running over RS485. Consult USITT DMX installation guidelines when laying out a system, or employ a qualified DMX system integrator.

A DMX network will be required if:

a) The projector inside the enclosure requires a DMX control signal
b) You wish to monitor the enclosure using RDM
c) You wish to control the enclosure lamp relay over DMX

DMX Terminations

Note: DMX will not normally be used in projector installations.

Pinout: (1) Ground, (2) Data -, (3) Data +.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - DMX Terminations - 1

text_image DMX OUT to next DMX device DMX IN from outside world 010059

DMX Connectors:

1 DMX IN from network
2 DMX OUT to projector (or to network if not controlling projector)
3 DMX IN from projector
4 DMX OUT to network

Note: If the enclosed equipment does not use DMX, then connector (2) on the controller is DMX OUT for the enclosure.

DMX Line Terminations

DMX cable runs must be terminated at the far end of the cable run with a termination resistor as detailed in the DMX512 standard.

The individual equipment installed inside the Tempest enclosures must NOT be terminated. It is recommended that any line termination is done using the 3-pin terminal connector fitted to the DEC3.3 control circuit board.

Remote Device Management (RDM)

RDM refers to ANSI E1.20, a control protocol in the entertainment industry used for device configuration and monitoring, and essentially an “extension” of DMX512. The use of RDM is optional, and uses the same RS485 cable connection as DMX512, so no additional wiring is required if DMX is already present. The user must ensure that any DMX splitters or other routing devices used are RDM operable as well as DMX use. Tempest strongly recommends working with a qualified RDM system integrator when designing an RDM network. Go to www.tempest.org for contact information.

RDM and RDM Integration

DEC3.3's RDM implementation allows system integrators to remotely configure, control or monitor DEC3.3 attributes, including:

  • Relative Humidity
  • Air Temperature
  • PCB Temperature
  • Lamp Current
  • Elapsed Lamp Hours
  • Lamp Relay Status
  • Fan Relay Status
  • Heater Relay Status
  • DMX Status
  • DMX Start Address
    • DMX Personality (RDM Mode)
  • Device Type
  • Device Label
  • Software Version

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - RDM and RDM Integration - 1

RDM is an effective and powerful tool for commissioning and monitoring an installation, particularly in large systems. For further guidance, please consult a qualified RDM system integrator. Tempest Lighting warrants

DEC3.3 to be compliant with the RDM standard, but is not an RDM systems integrator, and can offer only basic guidance on RDM utilization.

5 Mounting the Projector

IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST

For safety, this must be done by two or more people.

IMPORTANT: The projector enclosure MUST be securely mounted BEFORE you attempt to install the projector.

The enclosure must be horizontal for projector mounting and projector service. If the projection angle is NOT horizontal, a Cyclovator Tilt Kit should be used, and the projector returned to horizontal for projector mounting and service.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST - 1

text_image Diagram showing a green checkmark over an industrial machine and a red X symbol overlapping with a device, likely indicating inspection or cancellation.
  1. Cyclone enclosures may be provided with front or rear projector slides (the projector tray slides out of either the front or rear of the enclosure), to customer order.

  2. Depending on the projector type and orientation, your mounting method may differ.

a. Generally, the projector stands on the projector tray, and is bolted through slots from below to lock in place.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST - 2

text_image Projector Tray Slide Bolt (x 2) Projector Bolt, flat washer, spring washer. Type and quantity vary by projector Projector Tray. Slides are rated @ 500lb/227kg. Projector Bolt Slots allow front/back adjustment

b. For projectors without threaded sockets on the underside, clamps are provided to secure the projector feet to the projector tray, to prevent movement.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST - 3

text_image Projector Foot Clamp slides over feet and bolts to tray front and back.

c. Portrait enclosures have a vertical mounting frame. The projector generally bolts to the frame.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST - 4

text_image Projector Bolt, flat washer, spring washer. Type and quantity vary by projector Projector Tray Slide Bolt (x 2) Portrait Projector Mounting Frame mounts on projector tray
  1. Release the two projector tray slide bolts and fully extend the tray.
  2. Set the projector on the tray and check for center. The projector should be centered and mounted with the front of the lens above the end of the tray.

a. Portrait Enclosures: Bolt the projector to the vertical projector mount, using the bolts provided. You can still adjust the feet, but this will require more people to:

i. Support the weight of the projector
ii. Loosen/tighten mounting bolts
iii. Lower/raise projector feet

  1. Return the projector tray into the Cyclone enclosure and check that the lens is aligned with the projection window. Projectors with wide-angle lenses should be positioned with the front of the lens as close to the window as possible to avoid clipping.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST - 5

text_image Lens should be close to center of projection window
  1. Connect all cables to the projector, threading them through the flexible cable management track. Allow for 7-13'/2-4m of cable inside the enclosure to run through the cable management track to the projector. Actual length depends on the Cyclone model, front or rear tray slide, and the location of connectors on the projector body.

  2. Plug the projector into the Projector power outlet on the back door.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST - 6

text_image Auxiliary Power Outlet (IEC C14) * Projector Power Outlet (IEC C14 or NEMA L6-30 Twistlock)

*IMPORTANT: North American models (model # with .US suffix, running on 208V or 240V feeds): The Auxiliary power receptacle is NOT connected. Run a 15 Amp 120V circuit into the enclosure and terminate on the back of the IEC C14 receptacle.

International models (with .IN model # suffix, running on 230V feeds): the Auxiliary power socket is wired in parallel with the projector outlet.

  1. Slide the tray back into the Cyclone enclosure. Power up the projector and adjust the projector feet as needed.

  2. Pull the tray out of the enclosure and either:

a. Bolt the projector through the mounting slots to the tray using the bolts and washers provided. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN - THIS MAY DAMAGE THE PROJECTOR.

b. Slide the projector foot clamps in place over the projector feet and tighten the bolts through the projector tray slots to secure in place.

  1. Return the projector tray to the enclosure and lock the two slide bolts in place.

Airflow Chimneys

Certain projectors in certain enclosure types require additional airflow deflectors, baffles or chimneys to direct the projector's exhaust air towards the exhaust fans/duct and prevent recirculation and overheating.

These parts will be supplied as needed with your enclosure, and are generally mounted either on the enclosure frame or the projector tray. If they are not included, they should not be needed.

Christie Roadster Projectors

Cyclone 8200 enclosures for Christie Roadsters are supplied with a special airflow chimney that clamps to the lamp door at the back of the projector. The lamp door may still be opened for relamping without having to remove the airflow chimney. The Chimney will be packed inside the enclosure for shipping.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - Christie Roadster Projectors - 1

text_image Mounting clamp secures with two screws through top Christie Roadster/J-Series 14-22K Lamp Door Cyclone 8200 Airflow Chimney clamps to projector lamp door

Christie Roadie HD35K Projectors

These projectors (mounted in Cyclone 8400 enclosures) use an external DC ballast to supply power to the projector lamp, over two 200 Amp single pole cables, with CamLok type single pole connectors. Christie specifies a cable run between ballast and projector of up to 100'/30m.

  1. Cyclone 8400 Enclosures supplied for use with these projectors include two CamLok panel receptacles on the rear door, and internal DC wiring to the back of the projector. The cable loop inside the enclosure is approximately 10'/3m, so the maximum permissible cable length from the ballast to the outside is therefore reduced to 90'/27m.
  2. When the projector is placed on the projector tray, connect the DC cables to the receptacles at the back of the projector BEFORE fixing the projector is in place.
  3. Make sure that both Camlok plugs are fully inserted, and twisted 14 turn clockwise.
  4. Set the projector in position, and feed any cable slack back through the cable track, before fixing the projector in place.

6 Closing up the Enclosure

1 Check all electrical connections

Congratulations! Your system is now ready for use.

7 Operation

Outdoor Enclosures must receive power at all times. Enclosure, and will not provide proper protection for the projector inside if it is not connected to AC power.
Unless the enclosure or projector is undergoing routine maintenance, the cover should be in place and locked down at all times.
① Only authorized personnel should open the enclosure (see maintenance warnings in the next section).
If the ambient temperature is high enough, the over-temperature shutdown feature may engage and temporarily cut off power to the projector. Once the temperature reaches acceptable levels, power will be automatically restored after 5 minutes.

8 Routine Maintenance

It is very important to perform routine maintenance on both the enclosure and the projector within. Failure to do so may reduce lifetime for both the enclosure and the projector.

Note

Maintenance schedules depend on location and environment. The times given here are general guidelines for you to use. It is up to you to judge whether maintenance should be done more often. We do advise doing these tasks no less often than mentioned here.

Safety

Although maintenance can be performed while the enclosure is powered, it is safer to carry it out with the power disconnected with proper lockout and tag out procedures followed.
Be aware that once the enclosure has had power applied to it, the heater will get hot and the fans will start to turn. Make sure that your hands are clear of these areas before applying power to the enclosure.
Only authorized personnel should perform maintenance on the enclosure or projector
Do not service the unit in the rain or other adverse weather conditions (snow, sleet, high winds, etc.).
Be aware that the cover is a large object that can be awkward to handle, especially when standing on a ladder or scaffolding.

Inspection Checklist: - Every Three (3) Months

☐ All weep (drain) holes should be clear
☐ All vents should be free of debris
☐ Enclosure should be free of debris both inside and out
☐ Bolts should be tight
☐ Lid seal should be in good condition, Check seal inside and out for gaps.
☐ Window should not be cracked
☐ Fans should be moving (it will be necessary to have the power on to check this), with corresponding indicator status

Except for the last two items (concerning globe and fan), problems with any of these things can be easily remedied. Contact technical support for problems with the last two items.

Air Filter Replacement

The air filters should be removed and checked on a regular basis. We recommend initial inspection every three months. Inspection interval may be adjusted based on site conditions.

Tempest Cyclone 8000 - Air Filter Replacement - 1

text_image Heater Filter Locking Knobs

For HUSH enclosures in clean environments filter life will be much longer than for outdoor enclosures and inspection intervals may be correspondingly longer.

Filter Maintenance and Replacement

Remove any buildup of dust on the outside of the filter with a vacuum cleaner.

Eventually the filters will need to be replaced. Filters will appear dirty and clogged after vacuuming and the internal temperature will increase.

Replacement Filters are available from Tempest

Each Cyclone enclosure requires two filters

8000.799.HF15.5"x15.5"/394x394mmCyclone 8102, 8200 and up

9 Troubleshooting

This is a guide to the general symptoms, problems, and solutions that may occur during the lifetime of your enclosure. However, it is important to remember that problems may occur within the projector itself and these must also be considered.

Projector does not have power.

Check power switch of projector. (Note: the following actions should be performed by a licensed electrician) If power is on, check wiring (including metering supply voltages, enclosure must receive 200-240VAC to operate properly). If LEDs on the DEC3 control panel controller are lit, check the Lamp Relay LED. If it is on, meter power in receptacle. If no power is present at the receptacle, contact technical support.

In case of over-temperature, the power disconnection is an intended function of the enclosure and is for the protection of the projector, which is not meant to operate in extreme conditions. In this case, the problem will only continue until temperature drops to acceptable levels. It is possible that the air intake or exhaust has become clogged, leading to higher temperatures inside the enclosure. Make sure that these areas are clear, the filters are clean, and the fans are working properly.

Projector turns on and off repeatedly

Check that vent areas and airways are clear. If so, ambient temperature may be too high (see over-temperature note above) or projector may have internal problem.

Fans are not spinning.

Fan cords may have become disconnected. Check connections between fan and cord.

Fans may be obstructed. Shut off power to enclosure and check for obstructions. Turn power back on to see if fans will start spinning. If fans do not turn and display on temperature controller is lit, contact technical support. If fans do not turn display is not lit, then enclosure is not receiving power. Turn off all power and check wiring. If the wiring is correct, contact technical support.

Excessive debris in unit.

Filters may not be properly seated. Check for gaps.

Excessive Water in enclosure.

Weep (drain) holes may be clogged. Clear them.

Latches do not latch properly.

Check for obstructions.
