1.1.3 Material Handling Precautions: Storage
CAUTION
Improper Storage
Store this equipment properly
• If equipment is to be stored prior to installation, it must be protected from the weather and kept free
of condensation and dust.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage
1.1.4 Material Handling: Heavy Equipment
DANGER
Unstable load
Use caution when moving heavy equipment
• Use extreme care when moving heavy equipment.
• Verify that the moving equipment is rated to handle the weight.
• When removing equipment from a shipping pallet, carefully balance and secure it using a safety
strap.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage
1.1.5 Material Handling Precautions: Fasteners
DANGER
Foreign Object Damage - FOD
This equipment may contain fasteners that may come loose - torque properly.
• Only use fasteners of the same type as the one originally supplied with the equipment.
• Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product
installation and create safety risk .
• You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to chose the correct gasket,
bolts and nuts.
• Bolt type, length, and torque value are determined by type of base, height of spacers used, and clamp
force required in FAA Engineering Brief No 83 (latest revision).
• Due to the risk of bolts vibrating loose, do not use any type of washer with the fixing bolts (such as
split lock washers) other than an anti-vibration washer. Anti-vibration washers as defined in FAA EB
83 (latest edition) must be used. For installations other than FAA, use the base can manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Always tighten the fasteners to the recommended torque. Use a calibrated torque wrench and apply
the recommended adhesive type.
• Obey the instructions of the adhesives necessary for the fasteners.
Failure to follow these warnings may cause the fasteners to loosen, damage the equipment,
potentially to loosen the equipment. This can lead to a highly dangerous situation of FOD, with
potential lethal consequences.
Note
To minimize the risk of errors, the ADB SAFEGATE Sales Representative will have information on which gasket goes
with which base. This information is also provided in the product Data sheets, the User Manuals and the Spare Part
Lists.

4.0 Installation
This section describes the different steps for successful installation of the sign.
Site planning and preparation is required before installation, according to ICAO Annex 14. For example, there are
requirements for placement near runways, taxiways and intersections, and requirements for mounting on solid, flat, level
surfaces.
4.1 Standard Hardware and Preparation
Signs are delivered with mounting hardware including poles, frangible couplings, mounting profiles, clamps, and mounting
bases.
Poles and Frangible Couplings Measurement
The sign length determines the number of poles required and delivered for installation. When installed, the total sign height
mounted on poles increases by 100 mm.
The sign length and height dimensions in the table refers to the outer dimensions of the frame. The length and height of the
face are 100 mm less the values below.

Mounting Information
The mounting distances between the poles are dependent on the sign length. The mounting bases and poles are mounted in
foundations, preferably concrete, installed on the surface of the sign location. The number of foundations required is equal to
the number of poles.
General recommendations, dimensions and appearance of mounting bases:
•Three M12 anchor bolts per base to fasten them to the foundation.
•The anchor bolts must be installed on a diameter of 180 mm with 120° spacing to mate with the base.
•Use the correct Center to Center (C-C) mounting distance, to layout anchoring points on the surface according to the sign
length and where the sign is to be installed. For information, see Table 1 and Table 2.

Poles and Frangible Couplings Delivery
Poles with their respective frangible couplings are assembled at the factory. All poles are shipped in the same crate and
packaged in groups of 2, 3 or 4 poles, to help indicate which sign they are to be used with.
Frangible couplings are not universal, meaning there are different models intended to be used with different sign sizes. Check
the label in the lower left corner at the back of the sign to make sure that the sign is installed with the correct frangible
coupling. Make sure to verify the latest recommended frangible coupling, depending on RELIANCE Sign model, and apply
what is indicated in the spare parts. See RELIANCE Sign and www.adbsafegate.com.
