2.2 Pre-Installation Checks
2.2.1 Installation Checklist
1. Prepare cables and all necessary accessories (Waterproof Quick Lock End Caps etc).
2. Perform functional check of the ARCHISHAPE®Media Tube. Take care not to damage
cables/connectors during pre-installation checks.
3. Ensure all pre-installation checks laid out below have been followed.
4. Mount the ARCHISHAPE®Media Tube on-site. If the installation is to be left uncompleted
overnight, place all non-connected LED Engines and the ARCHISHAPE®Media Tube in
an indoor environment.
Ensure all the Interconnection Cables, ARCHISHAPE®Media Tube and LED Engines are
initially stored in a dry area to guarantee the complete sealing of the system from water before
installation.
2.2.2 Mounting Bracket
5mm screws with spring washers and washers are needed to fix the mounting bracket. The
mounting brackets can be moved and the bracket distances are recommended values.
