Mechanical Installation
3.3 Display Mounting
Securely mount each display to a suitable mounting structure provided by others. Daktronics
attached aluminum Z-extrusions to the back of the display for mounting. Use all Z-extrusions
when mounting the display.
Use appropriate hardware to support the weight of the display. Have a qualified engineer
inspect the mounting structure.
Note:
Daktronics is not responsible for mounting methods or the structural integrity of
support structures provided by others.
After installing the display, inspect the top and sides of the display for any openings that
may allow moisture to enter the display. Seal openings with silicone or another waterproof
sealant. Not sealing openings may void the warranty.
The eyebolts can either remain in the display or be removed without compromising the water
tightness and weather resistance of the display cabinet. If removed, Daktronics recommends
replacing eyebolts with
5
/
8
" diameter stainless steel bolts to prevent debris from filling the
threads of the permanent hardware.
3.4 Traffic Cabinet Mounting
Ground Mounting
Secure the traffic cabinet to a 24" x 30" concrete pad using anchor bolts. Daktronics
recommends using
3
/
4
" stainless steel anchor bolts. When anchoring the traffic cabinet to the
concrete pad, make sure the bottom of the cabinet allows for water drainage. Do not seal the
cabinet to the concrete pad as this prevents water from draining properly.
The conduit for power and signal enters through the open area in the bottom of the cabinet.
Pole Mounting
Mount the cabinet using the pole-mount brackets at the locations. Make sure the brackets are
secured at all locations.
3.5 LIE Mounting
LIEs are designed for pole-mounting. After installing the LIE, select power and signal
entrances on the bottom, sides, or rear of the LIE. Prior to drilling, be aware of internal
component locations to avoid damaging the components. Ensure the entrances will not
obstruct the drain holes on the bottom of the LIE.
Seal any hole punched or drilled in the LIE with either a watertight plug or with a watertight
conduit hub to prevent water from entering the LIE.
