 Locate
the position on your wall where you want to install the
sign. Check behind the wall in this area to insure
that the mounting hardware can be installed, what
mounting hardware to use, and that electrical service
can be run to the location.
-
How you secure the sign to the wall
depends on the type of wall. Make sure that your
mounting method will secure the sign permanently, even
if it gets hit by a truck, for instance. If the
wall needs reinforcement you will want to provide it.
If your wall is wood, lags (included) or toggle-bolts
(included also) are usually used, depending on the
thickness of the wood. Sometimes thru-bolts with
backer-plates must be used. If the wall is stucco
over dry-wall toggle-bolts are usually used. If
the wall is concrete or masonry, the wall is usually
hammer-drilled with 5/8” holes and shields for lags
(included) inserted in the wall. If the wall is
EIFS (Styrofoam covered by mesh and stucco) you will
probably need to back the wall with plywood and
thru-bolt the sign. Thru-bolts have not been
supplied because walls vary so greatly in thickness.
-
Measure the raceway’s length and
mark its center. Measure from the center to each
mounting hole.
-
Mark the center of the location
where you want to install the sign on the wall, and
measure from this location and mark the locations of the
mounting holes. Make sure that they are level, and
placed properly vertically in relation to where you want
the sign’s letters to be. Note that the mounting
holes on the raceway are NOT in the center of the
letters vertically.
-
Measure the raceway for the
location of the power supply hole, and mark this
location on the wall also. Drill a 5/8” or larger
hole completely thru the wall for passing the electrical
conduit to the rear of the wall.
-
If practical, a hanger-bolt
(included) can be installed in one of the end mounting
bolt locations. The raceway’s mounting hole can be
slid over the bolt, and temporarily secured with a nut
and washer (also included.) Now the raceway can be
pivoted into place, secured by the other mounting bolts,
then the hanger-bolt can be replaced.
-
Hook up your electrical and you’re
done.
