6500.XYZ – Vertical Pole Mounting

The 6500.XYZ Mount is designed to attach to the bottom of a
vertical pole with an outside diameter between 1.75-2” [45-
50mm]. The pole must be securely attached to the building
structure in accordance with local safety regulations.

from below

4. Re-attach the nuts and washers, and tighten with a suitable

wrench

5. Replace the pan locking knob
6. Remove the Safety bolt and locknut from the safety collar
7. Offer the collar up to the bottom of the mounting pole and

drill a 7/16”[11mm] hole through the bottom of the pipe

8. Assemble the XYZ Mount to the enclosure, using the four

bolts and spring nuts on the XYZ Mount cradle. Be sure to
twist the spring nuts into the Unistrut rails so that they grip
securely.

9. Adjust the position of the XYZ Mount along the Unistrut

channels to position as close as possible to the center of
gravity.

10. Lift the enclosure onto the bottom of the vertical pipe - THIS

REQUIRES TWO PEOPLE

11. Have a THIRD PERSON slide the safety collar onto the bot-

tom of the pipe and insert the safety bolt through the hole
in the pipe drilled in step 7.

12. Rest the enclosure on top of the safety collar, and replace

the safety collar locknut. YOU MUST USE THE SAFETY COL-
LAR AS DESCRIBED IN STEPS 7-10. Tempest accepts no
liability for unsafe installation.

13. NOTE: For a steady projected image it is very important

that the vertical pole be secure and firmly braced, especially
when using larger enclosures with heavy projectors.
