Planning
Snow clearance:
Allow at least 24”/60cm clearance behind enclosure for access and ventilation.
Enclosures with MiniDEC Control should be powered during daylight hours.
Enclosures with Digital Enclosure Control MUST be powered 24/7/365.
Warning: In most cases this installation cannot be safely completed by 1 person.
Mounting the Thunder Enclosure
The Thunder enclosure must be mounted on or under a solid structure rated for the weight of
the enclosure, the equipment inside it, and at least one person.
Snow – if installed outside in cold regions, the bottom of the Thunder enclosure must be at
least 2’ (60cm) above maximum height of any snowfall or drifting snow, subject to local
conditions. If snow is not a consideration, then enclosure may sit on the ground as long as
proper drainage is provided.
LEAVE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BEHIND ENCLOSURE FOR WIRING AND VENTILATION
Tempest Lighting recommends the use of stainless steel mounting hardware.
The Thunder enclosure is provided with a pair of Unistrut channels on the enclosure base, for
mounting to your structure. You may use standard Unistrut accessories, or purchase either of the
mounting kits available from Tempest Lighting – four kits are recommended per enclosure.
