While DataTime displays are designed for wall or pole mounting, every installation will be
different. Actual site demands dictate the appropriate mounting method. Most DataTime
models have fully finished exteriors, but other models (DF-1011) are designed to be inserted
into an existing sign cabinet and require a custom installation.
Drawings A-166139 and A-166142 detail the mounting method for a single display on a
single column support to multiple displays stacked above one another in a single-pole
installation. The drawings include welding and hardware notes applicable for most
installations.
Note: The drawings suggest mounting methods and should not be considered as
specifications for construction. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the mounting
structure and hardware are capable of supporting the display, and comply with local
codes.
2.3 Lifting the Display
DF-1010 models are shipped equipped with 3 /
8
" eyebolts used for lifting and positioning the
display. Eyebolts are located along the top outer edges of the cabinet. Daktronics strongly
recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display, ensuring the force on the
eyebolts is straight up, which minimizes lifting stress.
Figure 3 illustrates both the correct and the incorrect methods of lifting a display. Lift the
display as shown on the left, with a lifting bar. Be sure to use every lifting point provided.
Daktronics assumes no liability for display damage resulting from incorrect setup or
lifting methods.
Eyebolts are intended for lifting during installation only. Do not attempt to permanently
support the display by the eyebolts.
