IMPORTANT: Safety Advisories

•All installation and rigging work done must where applicable be designed and built in

accordance with norms and standards of the local authority having jurisdiction of the

installation site. It is the responsibility of the installer to obtain such approvals as may be

required to achieve full compliance.

•All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably licensed electrical contractor in full

compliance with local electrical standards.

•Lifting: some enclosures and the equipment inside them may be heavy. Use properly

rated lifting equipment where appropriate and never attempt to carry out work with

fewer than the number of workers needed to lift safely.

•It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all local building, safety and electrical

codes are strictly adhered to in the installation of this enclosure. Tempest Lighting, Inc.,

its employees and agents are in no way responsible for damage arising from failure to

follow either the instructions in this manual or building, safety and electrical codes

prevailing at the installation location.

•Do not attempt to install or operate the enclosure before fully reading and understanding

this manual

•Never allow anyone who has not read this manual to open the enclosure or perform

maintenance on the projector within.

•Never leave the enclosure unattended when open.

•Always make sure all bolts and latches are tight and safety locks are in place after

performing any form of maintenance on the unit.

•Do not open any electrical boxes until power has been shut off to all supply lines to the

enclosure (including the one powering the projector).

•Do not open the enclosure in wet weather.
