POLE MOUNT MINI INSTALLATION
Updated 22 May 2014
The Pole Mount Mini is an easy to install and flexible system designed to allow
ONE SYSTEMS loudspeaker systems to be mounted to pole structures. The only
products approved for use with the Pole Mount Mini are the 103IM and 106IM or
transformer variants of the 103IM or 106IM.
NO OTHER LOUDSPEAKERS SHOULD BE SUBSTITUTED!
The following actions MUST be performed PRIOR to beginning the installation of
the Pole Mount System:
1. T his installation guide must be completely read and understood
2. The instruction manual “Rigging and Suspension of ONE SYSTEMS
Products” must be read and understood. This instruction manual is available
at www.onesystems.com
3. The manufacturer of the pole MUST be consulted to verify the applicability
of the Pole Mount Mini and ONE SYSTEMS loudspeaker to the specific
pole.
4. The Pole Mount Mini and loudspeaker should be installed only by one
experienced in the overhead suspension of items and familiar with the
applicable local and national codes governing installation of these products
and also governing the attachment of these products to the specific pole
structure.
5. The Pole Mount Mini is not suitable for use in Marine environments. DO NOT
use the Pole Mount Mini with One Systems Marine grade Loudspeaker
enclosures!
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 Pole Mount Mini. This data must be supplied to the pole
manufacturer in order to determine safe operation conditions for the loudspeaker
and Pole Mount Mini when mounted to a specific pole. See Appendix 1 of this
installation manual for “ Equivalent Projected Area (EPA) values for the 103IM
in the “Education” section of the web site.
and 106IM. These values may also be found on the ONE SYSTEMS web site at
www.onesystems.com.
IMPORTAN T NOT E: All pr od uc ts in di re ct we at her ins tal la ti o ns can be
subjected to high wind speeds. For w ind speed e xposure over 74 miles per
hour (119.1 kilometers per hour, 64.3 knots) the loudspeaker enclosure,
bracket, banding, and link assembly or safety must be inspected for signs of
damage or fatigue!
INSTALLATION
The Pole Mount Mini consists of two parts: the pole bracket assembly, and the
forged shoulder eye bolts and supplied cable assembly. The pol e brac ket is
shown in Figure 1. The bracket shown in figure 1 is designed for use on circular
poles with diameters of 4 inches (101.6mm) or larger. The Pole Mount Mini may
also be used on square or rectangular pole faces of 3.75 inches (92mm). Round
pole diameters that are smaller than 4 inches or square/rectangular face widths
of less than 3.75 inches must not be used.
Figure 1
NOTE!
The PT-10 pan and tilt bracket may be oriented in two ways on the Pole Mount
Mini back plate. The orientation on the left is used when the 106IM is to be
mounted. Using this configuration will result in the 106IM being oriented in a
vertical orientation. The PT-10 is mount ed using the 4 black holes shown in the
center image above. The red holes, also shown in the center image, should be
used when a 103IM is mounted and the desired orientation of the enclosure is
vertical. The PT-10 should be mounted to the stainless steel back pl ate be f or e
the back plated is mounted to a pole.
1. NOTE: It is best to preset the desired pan and tilt angles PRIOR to mounting
the Pole Mount Mini on a pole. (Step 2 below offers details).
Use ONLY the supplied nuts and bolts to mount the PT-10 to the Pole Mount
Mini back plate. DO NOT substitute any parts!
Mount the pole mount section ( se e fig ur e 1 above) of the bracket to the pole at
the desired height on the pole. The br ack et is mounted to the pole using BANDIT stainless steel bands. DO NOT SUSTITUTE 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 stainless steel banding materials should be as follows:
BAND-IT # C206R9 stainless steel bands
BAND-IT # C25699 buckles
BAND-IT # C00169 tensioning tool
The stainless steel band is Type 201SS 0.030 inches (0.762mm) thick and 0.750
inches (19mm) wide.
WARNING: Do NOT substitute banding materials or banding dimensions.
Figure 2
Installation instructions from BAND-IT should be followed ex actl y. Operating
instructions are supplied with the tensioning tool. (All BAND-IT parts and tools
purchased separately. These parts and tools are not supplied by ONE
SYSTEMS).

2. Attach the appropriate eye bolt to the enclosure. The eye bolt is attac hed to
the rear (top rear) of the 106IM. The eye bolt is attached to the top of the
103IM. There are two eye bolts supplied. One is an M8 eyebolt for use on the
106IM. The second eye bolt is an M5 and is for use on a 103IM. Use the
eyebolt that mates with the specific loudspeaker being mounted to the Pole
Mount Mini.
Next, the pan and tilt angles of the PT-10 bracket 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 PT-10 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 PT-10.
NOTE: DO NOT use both center pieces!
Now the loudspeaker (103IM or 106IM) should be mounted to the loudspeaker
bracket (PT-10) using the supplied stainless steel bolts and w asher s ( M5) . It is
recommended that the desired pan and tilt angles of the loudspeaker be set on
the PT-10 portion of the assembly prior to mounting the loudspeaker.
The instructions for the PT-10 portion of the Pole Mount Mini are also included
and should be referred to when setting the pan and tilt angles.
3. The Pole Mount Mini is supplied with a forged shoulder eye bolt. 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 PT-10 portion of
the Pole Mount Mini.
An M8 eye bolt is supplied to allow the 106IM enclos ur e to be fitt e d with the
supplied cable assembly. An M5 eye bolt is supplied to allow the 103IM to be
fitted with the supplied cable assembly.
INSTALLING THE POLE MOUNT SYSTEM WITHOUT THE CABLE ASSEMBLY
IS NOT ALLOWED!
NOTE: Review all remaining sections before configuring 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 stainless steel wire rope,
two ¼ inch stainless steel thimbles, and two oval sleeves. The ¼ 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.
Naples, 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 sl eeves. This
tool or the equivalent must be used when swaging the compression
sleeves. When crimping stainless steel com pr essio n sl e eves you MUST
use one size smaller diameter on the crimping tool. For 1/16” sleeves and
cable you MUST use a 3/64” crimp set.
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.
Figure 4 shows both the 103IM and 106IM loudspeakers mounted to the Pole
Mount Mini 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
toward vertical. The length of the wire rope is determined by the tilt and pan
angles of the enclosure.

Figure 5
Figure 5 is a close up view of the wire rope assembly. One end is connected to
the M8 eyebolt on the Pole Mount Mini and the other end to the eyebolt mounted
to the enclosure (103IM shown in Figure 5, for the 108IM the eyebolt in located
on the rear of the enclosure near the top).
Note: The ¼ inch thimbles must be spread slightly to fit over the eyebolts and
then recompressed.
