AlphaVision™ PC Series III 192x16 Sign
Mechanical Installation Guide
1Disconnect all power from the sign at the power
source to prevent electrical injury or damage.
Sign specifications
• Design of the support structure should only be done by a qualified
individual. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the
support structure and hardware are capable of safely supporting the
sign and are in compliance with all applicable building codes.
• Adaptive is not responsible for installations or the structural integrity of
support structures done by others.
• Mounting hardware is not supplied with the sign. Mounting
hardware that is used to hang or suspend a sign must be capable of
safely supporting the weight of the sign (approximately 160 lbs. for a
double-sided unit and 80 lbs for a single-sided unit).
• Only use the sign’s eyebolts to hang the sign. Mounting to any other parts of the sign will void the
warranty.
• All eyebolts (4 on double-sided units, 3 on single-sided units) must be used to lift and hang the sign.
• These signs are for indoor use only and should not be continuously exposed to direct sunlight, such as in a
window.
• These signs should only be used in an environment where the temperature is between 32° and 113° F
(0° and 45° C).
• These signs should only be used in an environment where non-condensing humidity does not exceed
95%.
