Mechanical Installation
Note:
Daktronics
does not
guarantee the warranty in situations where the display is not
constantly in a stable environment.
Daktronics engineering staff must approve
any
changes that may affect the weather-tightness
of the display. If any modifications are made, 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
. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified
structural engineer has approved the structure and any additional hardware.
2.1 Mechanical Installation Overview
Because every installation site is unique, there is no single Daktronics-approved
procedure for mounting the Galaxy
®
displays. The information contained in this
section is general information only and may or may not be appropriate for your
particular installation.
A qualified individual must make all decisions regarding the mounting of this
display
.
Read both the mechanical and electrical installation sections of this manual
before beginning any installation procedures
.
2.2 Support Structure Design
Support structure design depends on the mounting methods, display size, and weight.
The structure design is critical and should be done only by a qualified individual.
Display height and wind loading are also critical factors. It is the customer’s
responsibility to ensure that the structure and mounting hardware are adequate.
Daktronics is not responsible for the installations or the structural integrity of
support structures done by others
.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the mounting structure and
hardware are capable of supporting the display, and will agree with local codes
.
Before beginning the installation process, verify the following:
•
The mounting structure will provide a straight and square-mounting frame
for the display.
•
The mounting structure is capable of supporting the display and will not
yield at any unsupported points after mounting.
•
Clearance:
•
3" of unobstructed space below the display for adequate ventilation.
•
2 3/8" of unobstructed space is available above the display to allow
door to hinge open.
•
3” of unobstructed space behind display for adequate ventilation.
Correct any deficiencies before installation.
