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. The mounting hardware and method is also the responsibility of the installer.
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 2 x 2 x ¼" steel clip angles at the locations shown in the
Shop
Drawings listed within Appendix B . These angles may be used for mounting purposes. Remember to
have all
mounted displays inspected by a qualified structural engineer. It is the customer’s
responsibility to determine the proper wall mounting method and location.
Refer to the appropriate shop drawing for a suggested wall mount method. The number of attachment
points needed and the wall structure
must be reviewed by a qualified structural engineer and meet all
national and local codes. Daktronics recommends using all clip angles as attachment points .
1.
Carefully uncrate the display. Look each side of the display over for damage 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 appropriate shop drawing.
4.
Refer to Section 3 for information on routing power and signal.
5.
After installation is complete, carefully inspect the display for any holes that may allow water
to seep into the display. 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.
