    RS485 Comms, Ethernet (CUTAWAY VIEW) One or Two Power Circuits? Tempest enclosures may be wired on single or double circuit supplies. On a single feed, both enclosure and luminaire are permanently on. With a split (double) feed supply, you can switch off the luminaire when not in use, while the enclosure continues to protect it 24/7.
  • Page 16: Single Feed Power Termination

     Connect Luminaire feed to the terminals marked SPLIT SEE WIRING DIAGRAMS BELOW AC Supply Voltage Tempest Tornado enclosures require supply voltage in the nominal range 200-250VAC, 50/60Hz.  North American installations – use a 208V supply (2 x 120V hots), and connect one hot to Line and one to Neutral terminals.

    Mounting the Luminaire Luminaire Base Handles The distance between the fan/heater chimneys is limited. Dimension G: Tornado 1850-1975 14.5”/370mm Tornado 2000-2300 19.25/490mm Tornado 2400-2500 24.25”/615mm In some cases, it will be necessary to remove the handles from the luminaire base to fit it between the chimneys. Follow the luminaire manufacturer’s service instructions to remove the base handles before installing the luminaire.
  • Page 34: Mounting Bars

    Mounting Bars Tornado’s luminaire mounting system is extremely flexible. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in any environment and is very robust. The mounting bars may be configured in four different ways, depending on the luminaire size and chosen mounting method (see below). Luminaire Bars Luminaire Bars High, Wide...
  • Page 35: Mounting The Luminaire

    Mounting The Luminaire Moving lights from different manufacturers come with various different mounting options, all of which will install readily to Tornado’s luminaire mounts. To mount the luminaire, first remove the two mounting bars, by removing the 8mm nuts and carriage bolts.
  • Page 36: Omega Clamps

    Omega Clamps Most luminaires come with omega clamps of some kind, and this is the easiest mounting method. Simply bolt the omega clamp to the two luminaire mounting bars. Note: This will probably work best in one of the LOW positions (shown here), due to the height of the omega brackets.
  • Page 37: Screws

    Screws Many luminaire bases incorporate threaded holes for mounting screws. Simply screw into the luminaire base using the appropriate screws (not supplied). Check that the luminaire is centered and that the ends of the mounting bars are parallel. This is the most robust mounting method. Tip: In some cases, you may find suitable threaded holes by removing the rubber feet from the luminaire base.
  • Page 38: Quarter-Turn Fasteners (Qtf)

    Quarter-Turn Fasteners (QTF) Many luminaires with omega clamps do NOT have threaded mounting holes. In this case: Use a hammer to knock out the steel pin from the omega clamp quarter-turn fasteners. Remove the QTF from the omega clamp. Discard spacers like this If there is a spacer on the QTF, remove and discard it Re-assemble the QTF and replace the pin (tap home with a hammer)
  • Page 39: Install Luminaire In The Tornado Base

    Re-assemble the QTF. NOTE: Some QTFs may have spacers that are too wide (>12.7mm/.5in) to fit the Tornado mounting slots. Discard these spacers. Use the QTFs to secure the mounting bars to the luminaire base. Check that the luminaire is centered and that the ends of the mounting bars are parallel.
