Tempest Lantern Piezo 

 Placement Requirements 

!  For Outdoor Use Only. Install in well-ventilated areas. 

Do Not Locate the Lantern: 

 

In high traffic areas.  

 

Under or near trees, plants and buildings where debris may constantly fall into the 
Lantern. Excessive debris will require high maintenance and/or cause malfunctioning of 
the Lantern. 

 

In places where people, children, and pets may contact the Lantern. Guards or fences 
around the Lantern in these locations are recommended. 

 

In places where the controls beneath the Lantern may be submerged under water. 
Submerging of any part of its controls will require complete replacement of the controls.  

Clearances:  

 

The distance from ground level to the top of the Lantern shall be a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1M) 
where installed within 2 feet (0.6M) of public walkways (e.g.: sidewalk, shared walkway 
between two homes, or pathway in commercial applications).  Lesser clearances shall be 
permitted to be used only where acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. 

 

Keep combustibles away from the shaded heat zone of the Lantern (see illustration 
below).
