Daktronics AF-3020-7.6-R,A - Manual (Page 13)

Section 2 : Mechanical Installation
Note: 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 the integrity of the mounting structure or any mounting hardware not
provided by Daktronics. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the structure and any additional
hardware have been approved by a qualified structural engineer.
2.1 Support Structure Design
Support structure design depends on the mounting methods, display size and weight. The structure
design is critical and should be done only by a qualified individual. It is the customer’s responsibility
to ensure that the structure and mounting hardware are adequate. Daktronics is not responsible for the
installations or the structural integrity of support structures done by others.
Note: Project specific Shop Drawings are provided for special circumstances where there is a special
mounting method used.
2.2 Display Mounting
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the installation will meet local standards. The
mounting hardware must be capable of supporting all components to be mounted. The mounting
hardware and method are the responsibility of the customer. Refer to the project specific shop
drawings for the approximate weight and size of each model of display. Daktronics is not responsible
for the installations or the structural integrity of support structures done by others.
Daktronics recommends a wall/pole mounting method. Remember to have all mounted displays
inspected by a qualified structural engineer.
Note: The display has a hinged face panel. Care must be taken to allow the door to properly open
(refer to the project specific shop drawing).
Wall/Pole Mount
Note: It is the customer’s responsibility to determine the proper wall/pole mounting method and
location of the display. The number of attachment points needed and the structure must be
reviewed by a qualified structural engineer and meet all national and local codes. Daktronics is
not responsible for the installations or the structural integrity of support structures installed by
others.
Mounting channels/angles on the back of the display may be used as a wall/pole mount method.
There are ¼" bolts tightened into the rear of the display (Refer to the rear view of the shop
drawing) to assist with mounting. Once the proper mounting method and mounting
channels/angles are determined, attach the mounting channels/angles to the back of the display
using the ¼" bolts. Sealing washers or waterproof sealant must be placed between the display and
the mounting channel/angle to prevent water leaking into the display. (Refer to the rear view on
the shop drawing.)
