Display Section Numbering
For displays with multiple sections, each section is numbered
for easy installation. For a two-section display, the bottom
section is BX and the top section is TX. Refer to Figure 7 .
For four-section displays, when looking from the front, the
lower-left display section is BL and the section to the right is
BR; the second row of sections are TL on the left and TR on
the right. Refer to Figure 8 .
Display Splicing
Note: Always splice horizontal sections together
first. Then splice vertical sections together
to prevent seams, as shown in Figure 9 .
1� Ensure the splice key is in the splice channel
and the alignment brackets are installed as
shown on the bottom display section. Refer to
Figure 10 and Figure 11 .
2� Lift the display top section off of the truck.
3� Slowly lower the display top section until it rests
above the bottom section.
4� Continue lowering the display until it rests on
the display bottom sections and the splice key
is inside the display top section splice channel.
5� Starting at one end of the display, insert
the top lip of the splice wrench into the top
section mounting
channel. Refer to
Figure 12 .
6� Rest the bottom lip
of the splice wrench
against the back of
the bottom section
mounting channel.
7� Firmly pull down on the
splice wrench until the
back of both display
sections align and the
splice key is fully
engaged in the top
and bottom section
splice channels.
8� Repeat Steps 5 - 7 approximately every foot along the
back of the display.
9� Verify the LEDs in the display top section and the display bottom section align with
each other.
