Section 2:
Mechanical Installation
Note:
Daktronics does not guarantee the warranty in situations where the sign is not constantly
in a stable environment.
Daktronics engineering staff must approve
any
changes that may affect the weather-tightness
of the sign. 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 make sure that a qualified
structural engineer has ensured 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 signs. 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
sign
.
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, sign size, and weight.
The structure design is critical and should be done only by a qualified individual.
Sign 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 sign, 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 sign.
·
The mounting structure is capable of supporting the sign and will not yield
at any unsupported points after mounting.
Correct any deficiencies before installation.
