Mount signs
Observe safety precautions
Create a support structure for the signs
•
All installations, superstructure designs, and connections must be designed and approved by a qualified
structural engineer. Call Adaptive Micro Systems at 1-800-558-7022 for contact information for structural
engineering consultants.
•
Drill holes as needed in the sign’s steel framework for fasteners, but consult the attached shop drawings for
excluded areas.
Drilling holes in any of these excluded areas will void the sign’s warranty.
When drilling holes,
follow these guidelines: (1) Connections must be analyzed by a structural engineer. (2) Dissimilar metals
should be isolated to avoid galvanic corrosion.
•
Any area on the sign’s frame that had paint removed during mounting must be recoated with a paint
recognized by UL test #1332.
Failure to repaint the area will result in accelerated corrosion of the sign’s structure.
Adaptive Micro Systems is not responsible for any failure in the sign’s structure because of this.
(POLANE HS Plus
Polyurethane Enamel is used to paint the sign’s frame during manufacturing.)
Ventilate signs adequately
•
If the sign is mounted to a solid surface like a wall, then nothing should block the space between the top,
bottom, and sides of the sign and the solid surface.
•
If there is an obstruction (as in a monument-style installation), then run duct work (not supplied) from the
bottom side of the sign and laterally to the top of the sign to exhaust hot air. Be sure no rain or snow can
enter the sign through this duct work. To avoid heat build-up and depending on sign size, more space may
be required at the back of the sign to provide ample air flow. Fans can be used to supplement natural air
flow. Adaptive Micro Systems recommends isolating the fresh air intakes from the exhaust air.
Possible crush hazard.
Always use lifting bar
to lift the sign. Otherwise
eyebolts may break and
sign may fall, causing
serious injury or death.
