2Mount signs
Observe safety precautions
Create a support structure for the signs
• All installations, superstructure designs, and connections must be designed and approved by a qualified
structural engineer. Call Adaptive Micro Systems at 1-800-558-7022 for contact information for structural
engineering consultants.
• Drill holes as needed in the sign’s steel framework for fasteners, but consult the attached shop drawings for
excluded areas. Drilling holes in any of these excluded areas will void the sign’s warranty. When drilling holes,
follow these guidelines: (1) Connections must be analyzed by a structural engineer. (2) Dissimilar metals
should be isolated to avoid galvanic corrosion.
• Any area on the sign’s frame that had paint removed during mounting must be recoated with a paint
recognized by UL test #1332. Failure to repaint the area will result in accelerated corrosion of the sign’s structure.
Adaptive Micro Systems is not responsible for any failure in the sign’s structure because of this. (POLANE HS Plus
Polyurethane Enamel is used to paint the sign’s frame during manufacturing.)
Ventilate signs adequately
• If the sign is mounted to a solid surface like a wall, then nothing should block the space between the top,
bottom, and sides of the sign and the solid surface.
• If there is an obstruction (as in a monument-style installation), then run duct work (not supplied) from the
bottom side of the sign and laterally to the top of the sign to exhaust hot air. Be sure no rain or snow can
enter the sign through this duct work. To avoid heat build-up and depending on sign size, more space may
be required at the back of the sign to provide ample air flow. Fans can be used to supplement natural air
flow. Adaptive Micro Systems recommends isolating the fresh air intakes from the exhaust air.
Possible crush hazard.
Always use lifting bar
to lift the sign. Otherwise
eyebolts may break and
sign may fall, causing
serious injury or death.

3Connect power
Observe safety precautions
Electrical installation guidelines
• Inspect all internal sign cabling for proper connection and seating.
• All power wiring must be from circuit breaker-protected lines.
• A two-pole disconnect device must be installed in the building wiring for each branch circuit supplying the sign.
• The sign must be properly grounded according to the applicable codes (for example, NEC Article 250 and 600, and IEEE
1100-1999).
• Run separate conduits for signal wires (for example, RS232, RS485) and for power wires. However, fiber optic wire may be
run in the same conduit with power wires.
• This sign should not be connected to a ground fault interrupt (GFI) circuit.
• All electrical connections must be watertight.
• Use minimum 80° C copper wire only.
Utiliser uniquement un fil en cuivre pouvant supporter 80° C minimum.
• Torque terminals to a minimum of 7 in/lbs and a maximum of 10 in/lbs.
Serrer les bornes à 0,79 N/m minimum, mais pas à plus de 1,13 N/m.
Run power to the sign
Use the information from “Determine sign power requirements” on page 2.
NOTE: Make sure two conduits are run to the sign: one for power and the other for communication wires. See
“Connect MASTER UNIT to messaging computer” on page 8.
Ground the sign
The sign must be properly grounded in order to provide the following three types of protection:
• Ground fault protection — The sign must be wired to provide a permanent, low impedance pathway to carry sign ground
fault current. Earth grounding a sign through some type of ground rod bonded to the sign is not sufficient ground fault
protection.
• Lightning strike protection — A sign must be earth grounded either through an existing ground rod or separate ground
rod(s) bonded to the sign. See National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 250.32. A ground lug in the sign’s wireway is provided
for this purpose.
• Electronic equipment protection — A common cause for the failure of sensitive electronic equipment is the presence of
objectionable current on grounding or bonding paths. Likely causes for objectionable current are (1) errors in installation
wiring, (2) improper neutral-to-case bonds, and (3) equipment-grounding conductor used to carry neutral current.
NOTE: Though #3 is permitted by NEC Article 250.32(B)(2), Adaptive does not recommend this wiring method because it
creates a potentially hazardous situation.
Contact with high voltage
may cause death or serious
injury.
Always disconnect power to
