  • Page 16: Installation Above Public Spaces

    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: Remove one of the four bolts holding the Unistrut onto the enclosure base 2.

  • Page 17: Wiring 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. Switch off power to the branch circuit, carefully following lockout and tag-out procedures. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.

  • Page 18: 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.

    – 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).

    Martin MAC III and other tall Luminaires The MACIII is too tall to use in a Tornado 2300 with Omega Clamps installed in the usual way. In this case, and in similar cases, the fixture must be secured in place with the omega clamp BELOW the fixture tray.

  • Page 40: Shorter Luminaires Requiring Bracket Standoffs

    Shorter Luminaires Requiring Bracket Standoffs In order to align the center of the luminaire correctly in the Tornado enclosure, some fixtures need the Fixture tray to be raised. This is done with tubular standoffs that insert between the Fixture Tray and the enclosure Base.

  • Page 44: Operation

    7 Operation  Enclosure must receive power at all times. It is an active, climate-controlled enclosure, and will not provide proper protection for the luminaire inside if it is not connected to AC power.  Unless the enclosure or luminaire is undergoing routine maintenance, the globe should be in place and locked down at all times.

  • Page 45: Routine Maintenance

    8 Routine Maintenance It is very important to perform routine maintenance on both the enclosure and the luminaire within. Failure to do so may reduce lifetime for both the enclosure and the luminaire. Note Maintenance schedules depend on location and environment. The times given here are general guidelines for you to use.
  • Page 46 cleaned with any mild cleaner. It is also acceptable to treat globe with a product that keeps rain from adhering to its surface. DO NOT USE hydrocarbon-based cleaners on the globe under any circumstances. They can severely damage the globe material. Luminaire Review the manufacturer's instructions for proper maintenance of your luminaire.

  • Page 47: Troubleshooting

    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 luminaire itself and these must also be considered. Luminaire does not have power.
