Sheet Metal Cabinet Mounting
Two standard mounting methods are available for displays with sheet metal cabinets.
Note: Do not use lubrication on any mounting hardware or the warranty will be void!
Clamping Angles
Reference Drawings:
Scoreboard Mounting ...................................................................................... DWG-1130246
Mounting hardware includes mounting channels; rear clamping angles; 1/2-13 x 15"
threaded rods; and 1/2" square nuts, hex nuts, and lock washers. Refer to Figure 10 and
DWG-1130246 in Appendix B .
Note: The threaded rods do not pass through the beams; they run along both sides.
1� Position the display at the front of the beams, and lift it to the desired height.
2� Place a mounting channel against the upper rear flange of the cabinet next to each
beam.
3� Using the mounting channel as a template, drill two 9/16" holes in the upper rear
flange of the cabinet where the rods will pass through. The rods should be as close to
the beam as possible.
4� Place 1/2" square nuts inside the mounting channel, and thread the rods through the
rear flange of the cabinet and the mounting channel.
5� Slide clamping angles over the other ends of both threaded rods, and then loosely
install the washers and nuts.
6� Make final adjustments to the display position to ensure it is flush and level, and then
firmly tighten all of the 1/2" hex nuts.
7� Repeat Steps 2–6 for the lower rear flange of the cabinet for every beam.
