STI STI-PMK1824 Pole Mount Bracket Kit
Overview
The STI-PMK1824 is a pole mount bracket kit designed for 9VDC strike systems in access control installations where the strike must be mounted to an exterior pole rather than a door frame. This kit provides the mechanical mounting infrastructure and environmental enclosure required for outdoor or exposed pole-mounted door control applications. The EnviroArmour designation means the bracket assembly protects the strike hardware from weather, dust, and physical contact while maintaining reliable operation across temperature and humidity variations — critical for exposed locations where door strikes face direct rain, UV exposure, and temperature cycling.
Compatibility
The STI-PMK1824 is designed for pole-mounted strike installations operating at 9VDC. It integrates with standard STI strike systems and compatible third-party 9VDC electromechanical strike assemblies specified for pole mounting. Verify strike form factor (solenoid dimensions and connector type) against the bracket cavity before ordering — pole mounts are less flexible than frame-mounted strikes because the bracket footprint is fixed. Works with typical access control systems using 12/24VDC power supplies with a 9VDC output tap or dedicated 9VDC circuit.
Installation Notes
Pole mounting requires secure mechanical fastening to the pole using hardware appropriate to pole material (aluminum, steel, or composite). Drill holes using a 7mm masonry or metal bit depending on pole construction. Secure mounting prevents vibration-induced wear and maintains weathertight seals around cable entry points. Use the included cable gaskets to blank off unused entry holes and route wiring through designated conduit ports. Environmental gaskets must remain seated to preserve water and dust resistance — do not omit or reuse damaged gaskets. Install in a location that allows the strike solenoid to move freely without mechanical binding when power is applied and released.
