The method used to mount displays can vary greatly from location to location. For
this reason, only general mounting topics can be addressed in this manual.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the installation will adequately
meet local codes and standards, as well as the mounting hardware and method.
Before beginning the installation process, verify the following items:
• The mounting structure will provide a straight and square-mounting frame
for the display – height variation in any four-foot horizontal section may
not exceed ¼-inch
• The mounting structure will not give way at any unsupported points after
the display is mounted
The back of the display is equipped with 2x2x¼” thick angles on the top and bottom
of the display (Refer to the Shop Drawings). All mounted displays and wind loading
must meet local codes and be inspected by a qualified structural engineer.
1. Carefully uncrate the display and inspect each side of the display for
possible damage that may have occurred during shipping
2. Following the guidelines described in Section 2.4, lift the display into
position on the support structure
3. Weld or use ½" Grade-5 bolts and hardware to secure the clip angles to the
support structure as shown in the Shop Drawings.
4. Refer to Section 3 for information on routing power to the display
5. After installation is complete, carefully inspect the display for any holes
that may allow water to seep into the display and seal any openings with
silicone – if the eyebolts on the top of the display have been removed,
plug the holes with bolts and the rubber-sealing washer that was
removed with the eyebolt or fill the nut insert with silicone (unless there
is an overhead structure)
2.6 Optional Temperature Sensor Mounting
If an optional temperature sensor will be used with this display, see Appendix B for
