3 Wiring

3.1 Electrical Preparation

All electrical work must be carried out by a properly licensed electrician. Failure to
observe this point will void the factory warranty for the Tempest Enclosure and possibly
the luminaire/projector.

1

Before starting work, 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

Two electrical junction boxes will be required within a short distance of the Hurricane

enclosure for:

AC Supply wiring

DMX Control wiring

3

All junction boxes must be installed in accordance with local electrical codes and should be

located near the permanent installation of the enclosure. Each junction box requires a length

of 1/2" (20mm International) flexible weather-resistant conduit, long enough to reach from

junction box to the enclosure conduit entries.

4

The AC supply must be 200-240VAC, and must be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of a

rating suitable for the projector, plus 650 watts max for the enclosure fans and heaters.

5

Connect the local junction box to the Hurricane enclosure using exterior grade flexible

conduit. Pull suitably rated wires through the conduit to supply the Hurricane enclosure and

connect as described below.

6

Alternatively, you may run separate AC feeds for the projector and the enclosure. Follow

either single or double-feed wiring instructions below, according to preference:

DMX Control

AC Power

Flexible weatherproof conduit
