Getting Started:
These instructions are for an Optima LED® 5” Double-Sided
StretchLite Perimeter Lit Graphic Display. Follow the instructions
for the display ordered.
Please review all electrical requirements on the label before
connecting. Do not use improper current.
If the unit is hard-wired, a qualified electrician should perform
electrical installation.
This display, or sign, is intended to be installed in dry locations only
and in accordance with the requirements of Article 600 of the
National Electrical Code and/or other applicable local codes. This
includes proper grounding and bonding of the display.
It is recommended that the frame of this display be constructed on
a horizontal surface (such as a table, or the floor) to ensure a tight
fit at all corners and splices. When assembled, the frame should be
lifted into a vertical position.
Step-by-Step Instructions – Unpacking:
1. The frame of the Optima LED® 5” Double-Sided StretchLite
Perimeter Lit Graphic Display is shipped in segments in
multiple, labeled boxes. Ensure that all boxes are present
and ready for unpacking. Boxes are labeled “Box 1 of x”,
etc., where x is the total number of boxes.
2. Unpack all frame segments and arrange on a clean, flat
surface. Each segment has two ends: corner ends are
mitered, and are labeled A through D, while intermediate
ends, if present, are flat, and are labeled E through K.
3. All corners will be made up of two mitered segments that
have matching labels (ie, A to A, B to B). Arrange corner
pieces perpendicular to each other. See Figure 2.
4. If there are frame segments with intermediate ends, match
the labels (ie. E to E, F to F) to align adjoining pieces.
When complete, there will be a single rectangle of
segments. See Figure 3.
5. Larger frames will have one or more support poles and
corresponding splice brackets to hold them in place. If
there are support poles included, set them aside until
needed. See Figure 1.
6. Mounting hardware – if the sign was ordered with mounting
hardware (pedestal, feet, etc.) set it aside until needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions – Foot Mount Option:
Note: This option should be requested at time of order. The
number and type of feet required will vary based on the size of
the display frame, its orientation, and whether there are splice
brackets in the frame.
1. Determine the correct orientation of the frame (top,
bottom, left, right).
2. Position the feet so that they are in front of the frame,
aligned with each other, and near the screw holes for
each foot in the frame. A foot that goes under a Splice
Bracket will look different from a foot that attaches near
the corner of the frame. See Figure 15.
3. Remove the socket head cap screws that are pre-
installed in the feet and retain. Stand the display frame
up vertically and onto the mounting feet. See Figure
15.
