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 - Frame Assembly - Corners:
1. Corners are secured together with corner brackets. A corner
bracket is pre-installed in one of the two corner segments of
each corner. See Figure 2.
2. Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the cover piece
from a corner segment without the corner bracket and retain
the screws. A receiving Y bracket with a socket head cap
screw and protective cap will be exposed. See Figure 4.
3. Remove the protective cap and socket head cap screw from
the Y bracket. Discard the cap.
4. Slide the corner bracket into receiving frame segment under
the Y bracket.
5. Align the hole in the Y bracket with the hole in the corner
bracket. Insert the socket head cap screw through the Y
bracket into the corner bracket and tighten with a 3/16” hex
key wrench until the corner segments are firmly secured
together. See Figure 5.
6. If the outside corner of the display frame is not aligned
properly, more adjustments will be necessary.
a. Remove the cover from the adjoining segment with a
Phillips head screwdriver and retain the screws. This
will expose the other side of the corner bracket with a
second Y bracket connected to it with a socket head
cap screw.
Caution: There may be wiring that extends between
a cover with lights and the frame segment it was
attached to. Use caution when removing the cover.
b. Adjust the socket head cap screws on both sides of
the corner bracket using a 3/16” hex key wrench,
until the outside corner of the frame is aligned as
desired.
c. Re-secure the cover section of the adjoining segment
to the frame segment with the retained screws using
a Phillips head screwdriver. Make sure not to crimp
any wires under the edge of the cover.
7. If there are electrical connectors present, connect them now.
For example, insert a male low voltage connector into a
female low voltage connector. See Figure 6.
8. Tuck all wires and connectors under the covers and re-secure
the cover piece to the corner segment with the retained
screws using a Philips head screwdriver. Make sure not to
crimp any wires under the edge of the cover.
9. Repeat these steps for the 3 other corners of the frame. If
there are no frame segments with intermediate (flat) ends,
the frame assembly will be complete. See Figure 7.
