Daktronics Galaxy AF-3400 34 mm Monochrome/RGB - Manual (Page 11)

Section 2: Mechanical Installation
Read the Mechanical, Power and Signal Installation sections
before installing the display(s).
Daktronics engineering staff must approve any changes that may affect the weather-
tightness of the display. If any modifications are made, detailed drawings of the changes
must be submitted to Daktronics for evaluation and approval, or the warranty may be
void.
Daktronics is not responsible for installations or the structural integrity of
support structures done by others. The customer is responsible for ensuring that a
qualified structural engineer approves the structure and any additional hardware.
2.1 Support Structure Requirements
The installer is responsible for ensuring that the mounting structure and hardware are
capable of supporting the display, and the structure follows all local codes.
Because every installation site is unique, no single procedure is approved by Daktronics for
mounting Galaxy
® displays. The information contained in this section is general information
only and may or may not be appropriate for this particular installation. Refer to Figure 2 and
Figure 3 for basic display set-ups.
A qualified individual must make all decisions regarding the mounting of this display.
Support structure design depends on the mounting methods, display size, and weight. In
general, the front of the display needs to be unobstructed to allow for air flow and internal
access. Also keep in mind the location of the mounting clips and the power/signal
termination box or knockouts on the back of the display. Refer to Figure 4 for the back view
of a typical display. Display height and wind loading are also critical factors to be
considered. This information can be found in the following places:
• Size and weight information – Shop Drawings listed in Section 2.2
• Mounting hardware location – Shop Drawings listed in Section 2.2
• Signal and power termination – Power Specifications included in Appendix A
