8. Assemble the Base
a. Insert the ½” socket cap screws up through the two unistruts, and press a rubber
washer onto each one
b. Now set the bottom and middle shell fiberglass moldings on the threads. The
rubber washers should keep the screws in place, but this is much easier with two
people. The holes should all line up. If they don’t, use a 9/16” drill to ease open the
fiberglass.
c. Set the retrofit kit in place on the four bolts – making sure before you tighten
anything down that the two conduit entry holes line up.
d. With everything aligned, drop a flat washer, a spring washer and a nut onto each of
the four socket cap screws, and tighten down.
9. Referring to the note you took earlier, adjust the height of the fixture bracket and bolt
firmly in place using the four sets of hardware provided. If you’re using a different fixture
than before, adjust so that the fixture wasitline is approximately at the level of the
‘equator’ of the globe.
10. You’re essentially done. Time to test the system.
a. Connect a 200-240VAC supply to the power terminals (details in Section 3 –
Wiring).
b. Replace the DEC cover, making sure to reconnect the DEC display.
c. Switch on power. You should see:
i. The DEC display comes to life, showing temperature and humidity
ii. Both lamp LEDs should be off
iii. The fans will spin for a couple of seconds roughly every 30s
iv. The heater will get warm, but not hot
d. Now plug a lamp load (almost anything will do – say 500 to 1000W, 208/230V)
into the L6-20 fixture receptacle, at which point the heater will go off, the fans will
run continuously, and the lamp relay and lamp on indicators will light. Unplug the
load to revert to background ‘pulse’ mode.
11. IF you determined that the original installation used two supplies (one for the fixture and
one for the enclosure) then go to the wiring section (3) and follow the procedure for
splitting the feeds to the DEC3 terminal block.
12. The original Tornados did not support DMX or RDM. The retrofit kits are supplied set up for
Standalone Operation, which emulates the way Tornados originally worked. Like the original
product, this one should just plug in and run. If you want to use the more advanced
features available, please study the DEC3 control section in this manual.
