Installing your LED Sign: Step-by-Step Guide for Installing Your LED Sign

If you're preparing to install your new LED sign, you're likely eager to get everything set up and running smoothly. Here's a practical guide to help you through the process, based on a recent conversation between a customer and a support representative. Whether you're a seasoned installer or doing this for the first time, these steps should provide clarity and confidence.

1. Receiving and Inspecting Your Shipment

• Unpack and Inspect: Upon receiving your sign, carefully unpack it and inspect all the components. Ensure that nothing is damaged.
• Locate the QR Code: Inside one of the boxes, there should be a small card with a QR code. This QR code links to the setup instructions and videos on the website.

2. Preparing for Installation

• Assemble on the Ground First: It's recommended to assemble the entire sign on the ground before mounting it. This includes joining the sections (A and B) together using the provided bolts and silicone seals.
• Check for Additional Parts: Make sure you have all the necessary parts, including angle irons, which will be used to secure the sign to your structure.

3. Mounting the Sign

• Using Lifting Equipment: Use appropriate lifting equipment like a line truck or scissor lift to raise the sign. Ensure it's securely fastened to your mounting structure using the provided angle irons and bolts.
• Aligning and Securing: Make sure the sign is level and properly aligned before fully securing it in place.

4. Weatherproofing and Aesthetics

• Sheet Metal Covers: If you prefer a cleaner, more unified appearance, consider adding sheet metal covers over the sign once it’s installed. These are not provided but can be custom-made using materials like aluminum trim. Remember, the sheet metal is purely for aesthetics as the sign is already weatherproof.
• Ensure Ventilation: If you add custom covers, ensure they are vented on the sides to allow for airflow.

5. Electrical Connections

• Connecting Power: The electrical needs will vary based on the size of the sign. Ensure that the correct circuit and wiring are used to meet the power requirements of your specific sign.
• Internet Connection Options:
  • Wireless Option (Standard): Each sign comes with a wireless antenna that can be programmed as a repeater, providing a seamless and cable-free connection to the internet.
  • Wired Option (Optional): If you prefer a wired connection, you can plug in an RJ45 cable directly into the sign. Ensure it’s properly weatherproofed where it enters the sign.

6. Final Steps

• Testing and Setup: Once installed, the sign should already display a test message. This confirms that it’s functioning correctly.
• Accessing the Sign: You can control the sign via a web server, so there’s no need for a specific app if you're using an internet connection.
• Assigning User Permissions: If multiple people will manage the sign, consider setting up unique usernames and passwords to track changes and maintain control.

7. Troubleshooting

• Contact Support: If any issues arise during installation or setup, don’t hesitate to reach out to support for assistance.
