INSTALLATION GUIDE V1.00

The PM2.M is an easy to install and ﬂexible system designed to allow One Systems loudspeaker models to be mounted to pole structures. The only products approved for use with the PM2.M are the 104.HTH, 106.HTH, 104.STH and 106.STH. !

NO OTHER LOUDSPEAKERS SHOULD BE SUBSTITUTED!

WARNINGS!

The following actions MUST be performed PRIOR to beginning the installation of the PM2.M:! "!

1. This installation guide must be completely read and understood!!

2. The installation manual “Rigging and Suspension of One Systems Products” must be read and understood. This guide can be found at www.onesystems.com.!

3. The manufacturer of the pole MUST be consulted to verify the applicability and acceptability of the PM2.M and the attached One Systems speaker to the speciﬁc pole. !

4. The PM2.M pole mount bracket should only be installed by someone experienced in the overhead suspension of items. They should be familiar with applicable local / national codes

WARNINGS! (cont’d)

governing the installation of these types of products and those governing the attachment of these types of products to speciﬁc pole structures.!

5. The PM2.M is constructed of 316-grade stainless steel. !

NOTE: Caution should be exercised when connecting One Systems Marine-Grade speakers

and Marine-Grade rigging to other dissimilar metals. The potential for galvanic corrosion is

high in marine environments, where the One Systems Marine-Grade enclosures and rigging are

speciﬁed or required. Compatible metals and appropriate anode to cathode area ratios must

be maintained. A structural engineer with galvanic corrosion experience should be consulted

prior to installation of ANY One Systems products in marine environments.

CAUTION: All structures outdoors are subjected to wind forces. These forces must be considered when suspending any product outdoors. It is necessary to know the “Eﬀective Projected Area” (EPA) of the loudspeaker prior to installation of the loudspeaker and the PM2.M. The eﬀective areas are shown in Appendix 1. Periodic inspections of the rigging, loudspeaker enclosure and installation are strongly recommended.!

IMPORTANT NOTE: All products in direct weather installations can be subjected to high wind

speeds. The working load limit and safety factor ratings are provided for static vertical

(gravitational) loads only. For use in high wind areas, One Systems recommends consultation

with a licensed structural engineer to calculate an appropriately re-rated safety factor. For wind

speed exposure over 74 miles per hour (119.1 kilometers per hour, 64.3 knots) the loudspeaker

enclosure, bracket, banding and link assembly or secondary safety must be inspected for

signs of damage or fatigue!

INSTALLATION

The PM2.M consists of two parts: the pole bracket assembly, and the forged shoulder eye bolts and supplied cable assembly. The pole bracket is shown in Figure 1. The bracket shown in Figure 1 is designed for use on circular poles with diameters of 4 inches (101.6 mm) or larger AT MOUNTING HEIGHT. The PM2.M may also be used on square or rectangular pole faces of 3.75 inches (92 mm) AT MOUNTING HEIGHT. Round pole diameters that are smaller than 4 inches or square / rectangular face widths of less than 3.75 inches must not be used.

INSTALLATION

Figure 1

NOTE: The PT10.M pan and tilt bracket may be oriented in two ways on the PM2.M’s back

plate. The orientation on the left is used with the 106.HTH or 106.STH is to be mounted. Using this conﬁguration will result in the 106.HTH or 106.STH being oriented in a vertical orientation. The PT10.M is mounted using 4 black holes shown the center image above. The red holes, also shown in the center image, should be used when a 104.HTH or 104.STH is mounted and the desired orientation of the enclosure is vertical. The PT10.M should be mounted to the stainless steel back plate before the back plate is mounted to a pole.

1. NOTE: It is best to preset the desired pan and tilt angles PRIOR to mounting the PM2.M on a pole (see Step 2 below for more details).!

Use ONLY the supplied nuts and bolts to mount the PT10.M to the PM2.M back plate.

DO NOT substitute any parts!!

Mount the pole mount section (see Figure 1 above) of the bracket to the pole at the desired mounting height on the pole. The bracket is mounted to the pole using BAND-IT stainless steel bands. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE bands of other material or other widths! There are three locations on the pole bracket for bands.!

IMPORTANT: ALL THREE BAND LOCATIONS MUST BE USED. !

Figure 2 below illustrates the locations for the stainless steel band clamps. !

IMPORTANT: It is REQUIRED that each of the three bands be double-wrapped. Double wrapping will insure a strong and secure mounting of the bracket to the pole. !

The required banding and buckle material is based on the speciﬁc installation environment. The term “inland” or “non-coastal” refers to the non-industrial and non-marine / oceanfront environments. The determination of the speciﬁc environment is the responsibility of others. !

The required material for “inland” or “non-coastal” environments is:

Next, the pan and tilt angles of the PT10.M should be set. !

The pan and tilt function allows pan and tilt angles in 10 degree increments. ! NOTE: Two diﬀerent center pieces are supplied for the PT10.M bracket that will accommodate 20 degree increments, with each center piece incremented by 10 degrees to allow for the 10 degree total pan and tilt adjustment. Select the proper center piece that provides the correct aiming angles. See the illustration below for details on the center piece of the PT10.M. !

NOTE: DO NOT use both center pieces!

Now, the loudspeaker (104 or 106 models) should be mounted to the loudspeaker bracket (PT10.M) using the supplied stainless steel bolts and washers (M5). It is recommended that the desired pan and tilt angles of the loudspeaker be set on the PT10.M portion of the assembly prior to mounting the loudspeaker. !

The instructions for the PT10.M portion of the PM2.M are also included and should be referred to when setting the pan and tilt angles. !

3. The PM2.M is supplied with a forged shoulder eyebolt. This bolt is designed to be used

with a secondary cable assembly. This cable assembly must be conﬁgured AFTER the enclosure is mounted on the PT10.M portion of the PM2.M. !

An M8 eyebolt is supplied to allow the 106.HTH or 106.STH enclosure to be ﬁtted with the supplied cable assembly. An M5 eyebolt is supplied to allow the 104.HTH or 104.STH to be ﬁtted with the supplied cable assembly. !

INSTALLING THE POLE MOUNT SYSTEM WITH THE CABLE ASSEMBLY IS NOT ALLOWED!!

NOTE: Review all remaining sections before conﬁguring the the cable assembly!!

4. Conﬁguration of the supplied cable parts (cable, thimbles and compression sleeves).!

DO NOT PRE-ASSEMBLE THE CABLE.!

The cable assembly MUST be assembled AFTER the enclosure is mounted to the bracket and the bracket is suspended. See Figure 5 for detail of the ﬁnished assembly. !

The cable assembly consists of a length of 1/16-inch 316 stainless steel wire rope, two 1/4-inch 316 stainless steel thimbles and two oval sleeves. The 1/4-inch thimbles must be spread to ﬁt over each of the eyebolts. The wire rope should be conﬁgured and the sleeves crimped AFTER the thimbles have been installed around the eyebolts. The cable parts are shown in Figure 3. The length of the wire rope is determined by the pan and tilt angles of the enclosure.

Figure 3

Figure 3 is a photograph of the wire rope section and one of the thimbles as well as one of the oval sleeves. Make sure that the oval sleeve is crimped using the proper crimping tool. A close view of the assembly is shown in Figure 5. !

NOTE: A special crimping tool is required for stainless steel compression sleeves. The use of a tool that is not approved for use with stainless steel compression sleeves will result in reduced ratings for the wire rope assembly. !

The proper tool to use is produced by:!

Loos and Company, Cableware Division! 901 Industrial Blvd. ! Napes, FL 34104-3715! 1-800-321-5667!

The correct tool is: No. 0-3/64SC!

This tool is designed for use with stainless steel compression sleeves. This tool or the equivalent must be used when swaging the compression sleeves. When crimping stainless steel compression sleeves, you MUST use one size smaller diameter on the crimping tool. For 1/16-inch sleeves and cable, you MUST use a 3/64-inch crimp set.

Page 8

The cable assembly requires the use of a compression tool to securely ﬁt the oval sleeves. One Systems does not supply this compression tool. The assembly of the cable must be done by one who is experienced and competent in wire rope assembly and is familiar with the operation of the required tools. !

See Figures 4 and 5 for details of the proper cable assembly to the enclosure and bracket.

NOTE: This cable assembly should NOT pull the enclosure toward vertical. This cable assembly must be straight (as shown below) but NOT have any tension. This cable assembly should NOT take load away from the PT10.M bracket.

Figure 4 shows both the 104 and 106 loudspeaker models mounted to the PM2.M bracket with the cable assemblies included. The length of the wire rope should be adjusted so that there is very mild tension on the cable assembly. The cable assembly should not be loose or have any slack but the cable assembly should not be so tight as to begin pulling the top of the enclosure back towards vertical. The length of the wire rope is determined by the tilt and pan angles for the attached enclosure.
