Frame Installation

Install First Frame

Note: 

These steps are easiest with two to three people.

1. 

Identify the stud locations on the wall. Use a level to draw lines the 

height of the display and mark the studs.

2. 

Identify the position of the bottom-center frame.

3. 

Cut the zip ties from the first frame. Test each bolt assembly to verify 

that it slides freely.

Note: 

If the assembly binds, tap a hammer on the side of the steel 

plate to break it loose.

4. 

Mark the location for the perimeter of the frame on the wall. Use this 

mark to position the first frame. Hold the frame in place on the wall and 

use a 4' level on top of the frame while positioning it. Refer to 

Figure 1

.

5. 

Slide the bolt assemblies to the nearest stud lines.

6. 

Install the supplied TEK screws (Daktronics part number HC-3979953) 

through hollow bolts into the respective studs. Start with the frame 

corners first, and fill in remaining available screws. Refer to 

Figure 2

.

Note: 

Do not tighten the screws.

7. 

Install the brace plate (Daktronics part number 0M-4951150) after 

starting a screw in the stud.

Note: 

Ensure that the brace plate is positioned on the screw and 

lands between the wall and the tip of the hollow bolt. The 

brace plate provides a strong surface to adjust the z-axis 

position of the frame. If the brace plate is not placed properly, 

the tip of the hollow bolt will cut and sink into the wall material.

8. 

Tighten the screws until the frame is fixed in place.

9. 

Use a level on the top and side of the frame and repeat 

Steps 6

 and 

7

 

for the remaining bolt assemblies.

10. 

Place a level on the face of the vertical members in the frame to 

ensure the frame is plumb and level. Adjust the Z-position of the frame 

as needed. Refer to 

Adjust Frame Z-Position (p.1)

.

Note: 

Ensure the frame position aligns to the marked location on the 

wall.

Adjust Frame Z-Position

1. 

Identify the bolt assembly locations to adjust away from the wall. Refer 

to 

Figure 3

.

Figure 3: 

Identify Bolt Assemblies to Z-Adjust

Check level on all 

vertical members

2. 

Adjust one bolt assembly at a time.  

Refer to 

Figure 4

.

a. 

Loosen the TEK screw.

b. 

Tighten the hollow bolt into the 

threaded plate until the end 

of the bolt braces against the 

brace plate. Continue until the 

face of the frame is level.

c. 

Tighten the TEK screw to lock the 

Z-position in place.
