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.

Set the Cyclovator to its horizontal position:

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:

 Horizontal
 Show

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT BOTH LOCKING KNOBS (c) ARE
LOOSE WHEN RAISING/LOWERING THE CYCLOVATOR,
AND TIGHT WHEN IN SHOW OR SERVICE POSITION.

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:

Single Feed

Split Feed

Cyclone G4 User Manual 20

Single Feed Power Termination

 Connect Earth/Ground wire to Ground Terminal
 Connect Live and Neutral to the terminals marked

FEED

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 200­240VAC 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.

RS485 (DMX/RDM) Cable Terminations

Loop a shielded twisted pair cable (eg Belden 9841, though
many people now use a CAT5e cable) from the
control/monitoring point, around all enclosures.

Maximum total cable length is 1,200M (4,000ft). For longer
runs and wildly distributed systems, use a DMX/RDM
splitter (make sure that it supports RDM) and multiple
cable runs.

Use the termination switch to terminate each RS485 cable
run at the last enclosure on each run.

Projector Power Control using DMX512

The DEC4 controller includes a 30A 2-pole relay that
protects the enclosed equipment in the event of a serious
high temperature event by cutting off power. In 3-phase
enclosures this is augmented by a 4-pole contactor.

You may use DMX512 (a popular entertainment industry
protocol running on RS485, originally intended to control
lighting system dimmers) to control power to the projector
inside the enclosure. This is very useful in hot locations,
where the projector may be stressed by being held in
standby mode all day under hot sun. By powering the
projector down it will tolerate much higher temperatures
without harm.

Tempest recommends the JESE RDM-TRI interface to
monitor enclosure status in any installation and control the
enclosure power relay in smaller systems.

More complex installations are very likely to include some
kind of show control system that will certainly include DMX
control. This is the preferred method of controlling power
to the projectors.

JESE RDM-TRI interface connects to

a PC via USB to monitor and control

a network of Tempest enclosures.

Digital Enclosure Control

DEC4TM – that’s Digital Enclosure Control, fourth
Generation – 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. DEC4
monitors internal and external 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 an RS485 network, using the RDM
protocol (Remote Device Management), or connect to
your TCP/IP network for remote monitoring amd
management using Tempest’s TEMP protocol.

DEC4 Main Functions

1. Sense current to projector (lamp on/off)

2. Record lamp hours

3. Monitor temperature and relative humidity

inside Enclosure

4. Monitor temperature outside enclosure

5. Maintain internal temperature at safe operating

level

6. Maintain relative humidity within safe limits to

prevent condensation

7. Isolate projector in case of unsafe temperature

8. Report status over RS485, RDM, TCP/IP

9. Maintain positive pressure (optional) 24/7 to

prevent ingress of salt air and other
contaminants through the exhaust path

10. Circulates air internally to prevent hot and cold

spots when projector is idle

DEC4 constantly monitors the following parameters:

 Projector/Luminaire current
 Line Voltage
 External Temperature
 Internal Temperature
 Internal Relative Humidity

DEC 3.3’s patented GoldilocksTM algorithm uses a combination

of sensors, 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 – Data Modes

In most applications, DEC4 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.

 Standard default temperature and humidity settings
 DMX, RDM and Remote Monitoring disabled
 Best for standalone operation

If your needs are more complex, read on.

Cyclone G4 User Manual 34

Other Operating Modes

TEMP Mode

TEMP Operation is now supported with DMX Mode set to BASIC

Monitor Mode

As Basic mode, plus:

• RDM status reporting over RS485

• RDM configuration – settings may be changed remotely or at

the enclosure control panel

Control Mode

As Basic mode, plus:

 Enclosure functions as a 1-channel DMX device, with

remote control of the lamp relay

o DMX level > 75% enables normal relay operation

(normally ON)

o DMX level < 25% disables normal relay operation

(relay turns OFF)

o 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:

o Lamp Relay (Slot 1)
o Fans (Slot 2)
o Heater (Slot 3)

 Service mode is ONLY for troubleshooting – DO NOT use

Service mode for normal operation.

SET TEMP TRIP (temperature at which load will be isolated – see note)

(default 60°C, permissible range 55-70°C).

SET DELTA T (target difference between outside and inside temperature – drives fan speed)

(default ON (constant 100% fan speed), permissible range 2-10°C).

Note: A thermal emergency is when enclosure ventilation fails with the lamp on, in which case the temperature will
rise very quickly. To avoid nuisance tripping we recommend setting a higher Trip temperature, 60°C or above.

Set 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.

Reset Lamp Hours

Reset each time you change the lamp in the projector.

DEC4 Firmware Updates

From time to time Tempest may introduce new DEC4 firmware for feature enhancements and bug fixes. Please note that the

main System Control Board (SCB) and the various optional daughter boards each have their own firmware, and it will be good

practice to update all firmware in an enclosure for optimal performance and interoperability.

 System Control Board firmware may be updated DIRECTLY using JESE JUST software and a USB cable, or INDIRECTLY,

over an RDM network, using JESE GETSET software and a JESE RDM-TRI interface.

 Fan board firmware is extremely simple and is unlikely to require updating.
 RS485 Board (51.485) firmware may be updated over an RDM network, using JESE GETSET software and a JESE RDM-

TRI interface, or

Mounting the Projector

Enclosure Configuration

Landscape Configurations

Cyclone’s projector slide may be factory configured as

follows:

 Tabletop – tray down – projector sits on its feet
 Ceiling – Tray up – projector hangs from the

tray, feet up

 Front Slide – projector slides out of the

enclosure front door

 Rear Slide – projector slides out of the back

door

This configuration can be changed on site, but it’s a lot of
work!

We recommend making sure the system is ordered with
the desired configuration set up in the factory.

Portrait Configurations

Most Cyclone enclosures may be specified in portrait
format (this depends on the desired projector being
approved for portrait orientation).

Most projectors that are approved for portrait operation
may only be used in one orientation (feet left or feet
right). Your Cyclone enclosure will be factory configured
to suit the specified projector orientation.

Cyclone Portrait enclosures may be manufactured with
front or rear slide, just like landscape enclosures.

Troubleshooting

Projector does not have power:

1. Check Projector power switch

2. Check projector is plugged into DEC4 projector

outlet

3. Check that enclosure feed circuit is on

4. Check DEC4 User Interface leds are on. If feed

circuit is on and UI leds are off, check feed wiring
to DEC terminals and meter DEC4 projector outlet
for power

5. If UI lamp led is on and DEC4 projector outlet is

live, there is a projector fault.

Enclosure overheats:

1. Is the projector connected to the DEC4 projector

receptacle? If the projector is powered
independently the controller has no way to know
when to turn on the exhaust fans!

2. Is the filter clogged or obstructed?

3. Check that the Fan led on the UI is on when the

projector is running. If not, then the projector is
probably not connected to the DEC (see 1).

4. If the fan led is on, check that the fan is running. If

not, check fan wiring. If wiring is ok, fan may be
faulty.

5. Check the UI display for RH (relative humidity)

message. If display reads RH 5%, RH 100%, or
RH###, there is a sensor fault. Contact Tempest
for a replacement sensor.

Dirt/Debris inside enclosure

1. Filter is either missing or damaged?

2. Filter is not properly seated

3. Side panels or back door is not firmly latched

Water in enclosure

1. Check the drain holes in the bottom of the

enclosure. If they become blocked, and water
that gets in cannot escape.

2. Check seals around side panels and back door

Fan LED is on but fans do not operate

The exhaust fan is protected by a 20mm 4A slow-blow
fuse on the DEC4 motherboard, and a secondary fuse
on the fan board. In very exceptional cases it is
possible that either fuse could fail. Check visually.

The fuse is protected with a clear resin sealant and
soldered to the circuit board. With care, you can de­solder the fuse and replace it, but we recommend
replacing the DEC4 motherboard to maintain the
integrity of the board’s conformal coating.

Heater LED is on but heater does not operate

The heater is protected by a 20mm 10A slow-blow
fuse on the DEC4 motherboard. In very exceptional
cases it is possible that it could fail. Check visually.
