• Standard Assembly
• E Series
Note: Because the non-glare Lenses of Top Access and Inner Access
assemblies are not removable from the frame, those assemblies cannot
be attached via mechanical fasteners without use of a separate mounting
sub plate.
1.
Remove Clear Lens from holder and set aside. (Refer to pages 1-2)
2.
Locate predrilled holes and transfer the hole pattern to the wall surface
with a pencil or similar.
3.
Use only #6 Flat Head sheet metal or wood screws for attachment.
Length and type determined by installer and/or wall surface materials.
Anchors may be required depending upon wall type or conditions.

Large Assembly
Vertical Configuration Insert Removal & Replacement
1.
Apply Large Suction Cup Tool to middle/left of the non-glare Lens and
press to secure.
2.
Holding the Large Suction Cup Tool firmly against the Lens while
placing your other hand on the frame as necessary. Shift the Lens to
the right as far as it will go (approx 1/8”) and then pull outward from
the sign frame.
3.
With the non-glare Lens removed, you may find that the graphic insert
is attached to the sign frame with a thin strip of low-tack tape.
Low-tack tape is often used to help position the large digital print while
inserting the Lens into the frame. If this is the case, gently peel the
insert/print away from the frame and the low-tack tape to reveal
mounting holes.
Note:
When reinserting the graphic, be sure that it is beneath the two springs in
the frame on either side before attempting to replace the non-glare Lens.
Press the graphic against the low-tack tape on the frame to aid in
holding the graphic in place while the Lens is being replaced.
With the aid of the Large Suction Cup Tool, insert the right edge of the
Lens into the right side of the frame, then shift the Lens to the left to
compress the springs.
Make sure the matte (non-glossy) side of the Lens is facing outward.

Wall Attachment Instructions
Vinyl Tape (VT)
Very Important - Read Before Proceeding!
APCO uses a high-bond tape that has been proven successful in
thousands of signage installations and used in the sign industry for many
years. It is an extremely aggressive adhesive generally suitable for many
installations of interior signs up to and including 8-1/2” x 8-1/2”, and in
some cases larger. However, there are many factors beyond APCO’s
control that can negatively impact a tape’s performance, possibly resulting
in installation failure. These factors include but are not limited to the
cleanliness of the wall surface, the type of wall surface (tape is not
compatible with textured surfaces, bricks, stone, wood, vinyl wall
covering, and some low-VOC paints), humidity of the environment,
levelness of the wall surface, and improper installation techniques. With
so many variables beyond APCO’s control, it is the customer’s
responsibility to determine the suitability of the mounting surface before
installing any signs using vinyl tape. For a higher level of strength/security,
and for all larger signs or questionable wall surfaces, APCO always
recommends the use of Mechanical Fasteners, or Vinyl Tape + Silicon
Adhesive in some cases. For more information, see IS456 Wall Sign
