Display Definitions
Two configurations of displays are offered: single face displays and 2V displays. A single face
display is a single -sided, stand-alone unit. A 2V display consists of two units – one master and
one slave. The two sides of this display may be mounted at any angle between 0 and 180
degrees. When mounted back-to-back, the maximum distance between displays cannot
exceed 24”. The interconnect harness for the slave unit is coiled up inside the cabinet of the
slave unit.
48” and 60” displays do not have the 24” maximum separation limitation. 48” and 60” displays
do not have the master/slave interconnect, only a controller signal cable.
2.2 Support Column Selection
Support column size is dependent on the height and total wind loading of the display and
advertising panels that make up the entire display. Column selection is critical and should be
done only by a qualified individual. Only pipe and square or rectangular tubing are
recommended for single column displays. Wide flange members have low torque resisting
properties and wind flutter may result. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine the
column size required to support all the components to be mounted.
2.3 Mounting Details
Reference Drawings: Display Mounting, Using Horizontal Angle.....Drawing A-72324
Display Mounting, Using U-Clamp ................Drawing A-72325
Display Mounting, Vertical Angle ...................Drawing A-72326
Drawings A-72324, A-72325 and A-72326 show suggested methods of mounting the
displays to columns. The display cabinet has a 1.25” external flange. It is the responsibility of
the installer to ensure the installation will adequately meet local standards. The mounting
hardware and method are also the responsibility of the installer. Any aluminum angle used for
mounting should be a minimum of 1/4” thick. Refer to the appropriate drawing in Section 1
for additional mounting details.
60” displays require a two (2) column mounting method unless additional horizontal support is
provided by the customer. Minimum center to center column spacing is 72”. Engineering of
additional support is the responsibility of the customer.
