This section explains what to consider before installing a Galaxy
®
Small Matrix GS6 display.
Follow all guidelines and safety precautions in this manual when installing the display. Do
not modify the display or control system in any manner without the written permission of
Daktronics engineering staff.
Any unauthorized modifications void the display warranty.
Pre-Installation Checklist
• The display was not damaged during shipping.
• The mounting structure will provide a straight and square mounting frame for the
display.
• The support structure must be able to carry the weight of the display and meets local
and national codes.
• Ensure proper power is available at sign structure, refer to the
Shop Drawing
for
display power requirements.
• The display cabinet has no holes (accidental or intentional) that will allow water to
enter the display.
• All display modules are fully latched into the display cabinet.
Structure Requirements
Support structure design depends on mounting method, installation height, display size,
and weight. Because every installation site is unique, Daktronics approves no single
procedure for mounting displays.
Things to consider prior to installation:
•
Display structure and mounting must not obstruct airflow–refer to the
Shop Drawing
for ventilation space requirements.
• The light sensor must not be obstructed for the display to function properly.
For additional questions about display mounting requirements and specifications, refer
