Mounting Guide, Tempest Enclosures These guidelines are intended as a general guide only. Users may adapt them to suit local conditions and objectives. It is the responsibility of each user to secure engineering and safety approvals as required under local regulations, prior to commencing construction. Tempest Lighting, Inc., its employees and agents, will not be responsible for any errors or defects in installations whatsoever, resulting from inadequate interpretation of these guidelines. Most Tempest enclosures are provided with two strips of stainless steel UnistrutTM channel on their underside. Only the Unistrut strips are load-rated for structural support of the enclosure and its contents. No other mounting point is to be used. Tempest recommends the use only of stainless steel mounting hardware. Any suitable standard Unistrut fittings may be used to attach the enclosure to a structure. While Unistrut is readily available in many countries, in some parts of the world it can be hard to find. Unistrut Channels For this reason, Tempest markets several Unistrut adapter kits: 4900.MB Stainless Steel Unistrut channel nut, bolt and washer, ½”. Four required per enclosure. 4900.MM Stainless Steel Unistrut channel nut, bolt and washer, M12. Four required per enclosure. 4900.MC Stainless Steel Unistrut channel nut, bolt and pipe clamp, for pipes 1.5” (38mm) to 2” (50mm) OD. Two or four required per enclosure. Generally, Tempest enclosures will be mounted either atop a pole or structure, or suspended below a beam or truss. In many cases, it is helpful to fabricate a stainless steel plate (say 5-6mm (3/16-1/4”) thick) to attach to the structure and provide mounting points for the enclosure. Such plates will generally be square, with four mounting holes (13mm or 0.563”) for the Channel mounting bolts. Check with individual product data sheets for Appropriate spacing – some examples are shown opposite: A Dimension A A Tornado 2000/2200/2300 10.25”/260mm Blizzard 6550 Series 15.0”/381mm Cyclone 8000 Series 20.0”/508mm Poles and Posts Depending on height above ground, and the total weight of the enclosure and equipment housed, steel posts and poles of different dimensions may be used to mount Tempest enclosures. This illustration shows a projector enclosure atop a pole with a sloping mounting plate. The plate angle roughly corresponds to the desired direction of the projection beam, with the fine adjustment being done using the projector’s own mechanical and electronic adjustments inside the enclosure. Note that cable entry for all Blizzard and Cyclone projector enclosures, as well as Thunder lighting enclosures, is on the enclosure’s rear panel. With Tornado moving light enclosures, note that the cable entry ports are in the center of the enclosure base. Therefore you must either allow a hole in the middle of the mounting plate to allow wiring conduit access, or incorporate spacers between the mounting plate and the Unistruts. Incorporating a hole in the center of the mounting plate, as shown here, allows for the conduits feeding power and control cables to run inside the post, for a clean and uncluttered installation. For flexibility and ease of installation, we recommend the use of separate, outdoorrated, flexible conduits to connect power and control/signal wiring to Tempest enclosures. More details are included in the installation manual for your Tempest enclosure. All electrical installations must be performed by a qualified electrician, and in compliance with local electrical and building regulations. Many other installation configurations are possible – this guide is intended only to acquaint designers of mechanical mounting methodology.
