How to Assemble and Install Your LED Sign

When your LED sign arrives, it will be securely packed in a crate. Inside the crate, you will find several pre-assembled sections. These sections will have a maximum dimension of 4 feet by 4 feet for ease of handling and installation. Below is a step-by-step guide to assembling and installing your LED sign.

 

 

Step 1: Unpacking the Sign

1. Carefully open the crate and remove the pre-assembled sections.

2. Ensure that all parts, including bolts, brackets, L brackets, power cables, and data cables, are included in the package.

Step 2: Assembling the Sections

Each section is designed to fit together seamlessly using bolts and brackets. The assembly process varies based on the size of your sign.

For a 4 ft by 8 ft sign:

1. You will receive two sections that are 4 feet by 4 feet each.
   

2. Place the two sections together and align them properly.

3. Secure the sections together using 2 bolts per foot of height:
   

   

   • Since the sign is 4 feet tall, you will need 8 bolts in total.

4. Attach the brackets:
   

   

• • A bracket is installed every 2 feet starting at 2 feet.

  • For an 8-foot-wide sign, install 3 brackets along the back.

  • Each bracket requires 4 bolts to secure it in place.

Once the bolts and brackets are in place, the sign will form a solid cabinet structure.

Step 3: Installing the L Brackets

1. Install the L brackets around the edges of the sign.
   

2. Lift the sign and position it onto your supporting structure.

3. Secure the L brackets by bolting them to the structure.

Step 4: Connecting Power and Data Cables

1. Connect the power cable to the designated power source.
   

2. Link the sections together using the data cable.

3. If your sign is double-sided, repeat the assembly and connection process for the second side.

Step 5: Assembling Signs Taller Than 4 Feet

For signs taller than 4 feet, the sections are broken down further. For example:

For a 5 ft by 8 ft sign:

• The sign will arrive in four sections:

  • Two 3-foot-tall sections for the bottom

  • Two 2-foot-tall sections for the top

• Follow these steps for assembly:

  1. Connect the 3-foot sections at the bottom using 6 bolts.

  2. Secure with 2 brackets.

  3. Stack the 2-foot sections on top and connect them using 4 additional bolts.

  4. Install a single bracket between the top and bottom sections.

  5. Secure the sections across the width:

     • Use 2 bolts per foot across the top.

     • For an 8-foot-wide sign, install 16 bolts.

  6. Attach approximately 15 additional brackets for rigidity.

Step 6: Final Installation

 

1. Once the sections are secured, install the L brackets around the edges.

2. Lift the sign and hang it onto your supporting structure.
   

3. Secure the L brackets by bolting them into place.

4. Ensure all power and data cables are properly connected.

Estimated Assembly Time

• Small double-sided signs (two sections per side):

  • First side: ~30 minutes

  • Second side: ~15-20 minutes

• Larger signs (5 ft by 8 ft, four sections per side):

  • First side: ~45 minutes

  • Second side: ~30-35 minutes
