Mechanical Installation 2-2
2.2 Z-Bracket Installation for Sectional Display
Mounting
Review all drawings to determine special requirements. Display sections are to be
mounted to a wall or structural frame using Z-shaped aluminum brackets provided
by Daktronics in an installation kit. The Z-brackets allow for one (1) inch of air
space behind the displays for power and signal terminations, and for the
corresponding customer supplied junction boxes. Installation drawings will provide
the necessary dimensions for the mounting of the display, Z-brackets, and power
termination junction boxes.
It is the customer’s responsibility to attach the Z-brackets with the correct amount
and type of hardware to support the weight of all display sections mounted to those
Z-brackets as well as the support structure mentioned in Section 2.1. It is the
customer’s responsibility to ensure that the installation will meet local codes and or
standards. Daktronics is not responsible for the installations or the structural
integrity of support structures done by others.
When mounting a display system containing one or multiple rows of display
sections, the bottom row of displays will require two rows of Z-brackets attached to
the support structure. Upper rows of displays will require only one row of Z-brackets
per row of displays. This is due to the fact that each display section has alignment
pins located on the top of the section that interlock into the bottom of the display
section stacked on top of it. It is important to check these pins for tightness before
hanging a display section.
2.3 Electrical Junction Box Installation
Review all drawings to determine special requirements. Installation drawings will
provide the necessary dimensions for the power termination junction boxes. The
contract specific riser diagram will identify power specifications for the display
system. Also read Section 3 for any other pertinent information that may be needed
during the mechanical installation process.
2.4 Hanging Display Sections
Each DataTrac CE-1010 section has threaded insert nut holes on the rear side for the
attachment of mounting brackets. These are required for the hanging of the
individual sections. The mounting brackets come in the installation kit along with
the required ¼-20x3/4 hex head bolts. A drawing or drawings showing the correct
mounting bracket attachment will be included in the installation kit. Drawing A-
155773 illustrates the attachment of mounting brackets.
Hang the section that receives the incoming signal to the bottom left side of the
mounted Z-brackets. Subsequent sections are to be mounted to the Z-brackets, as
they are daisy-chained together with signal interconnects per the contract specific
riser diagram and Section 3 for electrical and signal information.
