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, as well as the mounting hardware and method

 
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 2x2x¼

 thick angles on the top and bottom 

of the display (Refer to the 

Shop Drawings

). All mounted displays and wind loading 

must meet local codes and be inspected by a qualified structural engineer.  
 

1.

 

Carefully uncrate the display and inspect each side of the display for 
possible damage that may have occurred 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 

Shop Drawings.

 

4.

 

Refer to 

Section 3 

for information on routing power to the display  

5.

 

After installation is complete, carefully inspect the display for any holes 
that may allow water to seep into the display and 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 or fill the nut insert with silicone (unless there 
is an overhead structure)

 

2.6  Optional Temperature Sensor Mounting 

If an optional temperature sensor will be used with this display, see 

Appendix B

 for 

mounting and signal connections.
