2 x 6 Assembly and Wiring of Modular Panels
Purpose: This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling the modules into a complete 2ft × 6 ft digital sign, including alignment, hardware installation, bracket reinforcement, and wiring.
Step 1: Start With the Edges
Objective: Build the perimeter first to ensure the sign remains square and properly aligned.
- Sort and arrange all modules and parts in alphabetical order.
Step 2: Align the Sections
Objective: Align modules accurately and verify all seals before installing bolts.
- Align the sections so all modules sit flush with no visible gaps.
- Instruction: The cable tunnel includes a preinstalled rubber seal. Confirm the seal is installed in every slot before inserting and tightening the M8 bolts.
Open Port
Open ports must be placed in alphabetical order to complete the assembly.
Closed Port
Closed ports indicate the perimeter edge of the sign.
Step 3: Secure With Bolts
Objective: Secure all sections using the provided hardware.
- Details: Insert bolts into the pre-drilled holes.
- Instruction: Use the supplied bolts to secure the modules to the frame.
M8 Bolts
Step 4: Tighten the Bolts
Objective: Stabilize the structure and lock final alignment.
- Details: Tighten all bolts evenly.
- Instruction: Use appropriate tools to ensure all fasteners are fully secured.
Step 5: Install X-Brackets
Objective: Reinforce the sign structure.
- Install X-brackets at the center of every four cabinets and secure them with the provided bolts.
Step 6: Install L-Brackets
L-brackets are used to mount the sign to the supporting structure.
Step 7: Connect the Wires
Objective: Complete all signal and power connections.
- Connect both signal and power wiring.
- Follow the wiring diagram carefully to ensure correct connections.

FAQ / Setup Notes
Installation Preview
Example 1: Angular Frame
This example shows an LED sign mounted using an angular steel frame, where angle irons are used to create a rigid mounting structure. This configuration is commonly used for standard wind zones and provides strong lateral support while keeping the overall structure lightweight and cost-effective. The angular frame is typically attached directly to the pole or supporting structure using L-brackets.
Example 2: Tubular Frame
This example illustrates an LED sign mounted to a tubular steel frame, designed to provide enhanced structural strength. Tubular frames are recommended for high-wind environments, larger signs, or locations requiring additional rigidity. The rounded tubing helps distribute wind load more evenly and improves long-term durability when mounted on a single-pole structure.
Sensor
The sensor must face the same direction as the sign.
Antenna
The antenna is outdoor-rated and should be mounted on the structure at a minimum height of 6 feet so the indicator light remains visible for future maintenance.
How to Confirm Proper Assembly
- Power the sign on.
- If distorted images or text appear, recheck module placement and wiring.
