Daktronics GPR-12EV-RGB - Manual (Page 9)

Mechanical Installation 3
Section 2: Mechanical Installation
Read the mechanical, power, and signal installation sections before installing the display(s).
Daktronics' engineering staff must approve any changes that may affect the weather-tightness of the
display. 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 installations or the structural integrity of support structures done by
others. The customer must ensure a qualified structural engineer approves the structure and any
additional hardware.
2.1 Pre-installation Checklist
Verify the following before installation:
• The display is in good condition after shipping and uncrating.
• A straight and square mounting frame is provided for the display.
• Height variation in any 4-ft. (1.2 m) horizontal section must not exceed 1 /
4
" (6.3 mm).
• Adequate support is provided for the display so that the structure will not yield at
any unsupported points after mounting.
• Leave 4 inches (10.2 cm) of unobstructed space above the display so the eyebolt can
be removed.
No clearance is required once the eyebolt is removed.
• Maintain clearance around the display to allow unobstructed air flow through the
vents and fans and to allow access to internal components.
• Assure the display cabinet has no holes (accidental or intentional) that could allow
water to enter the display.
• Check that all display modules are fully latched into the display cabinet.
2.2 Support Structure Requirements
The installer must ensure the mounting structure and
hardware can support the display, and that the structure
follows all local and national structural codes. Support
structure design depends on the mounting method,
display size, and weight.
Because every installation site is unique, no single
procedure is approved by Daktronics for mounting
GalaxyPro ® Revolution displays. This section contains
general information that may or may not be appropriate
for this particular installation. Refer to Figure 2 and
Figure 3 for basic display setups.
