Mechanical Installation 3
Section 2: Mechanical Installation
Important Notes:
• Read and understand these instructions before installing the display.
• Do not drop the transmitter/controller or allow it to become wet.
• Disconnect power when servicing or not using the display.
• Do not modify the display structure or attach any panels or coverings without the express written consent of
Daktronics, Inc.
2.1 Support Structure Design
• Structure design is critical and should be done only by a qualified individual.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the structure and the connectors are adequate.
• The customer must also ensure the installation meets local standards.
• Daktronics is not responsible for installations, the mounting structure or its structural integrity, or for
the quality of the mounting hardware used to attach the displays to the support structure. Structure and
attachment must conform to all applicable building codes.
2.2 Ventilation and Temperature Requirements
Fuelight ™ Petroleum Price digit displays are front ventilated. The display must NOT be fully enclosed inside
a support structure or sign or behind a sign face of plastic, glass, or other material. The front of the display
must be exposed to the air to allow for convection cooling.
Fuelight ™ displays are designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to 120°F (-40°C to
49°C). However, overall sign structure design and ventilation should keep the Fuelight ™ display cabinet
interior below 140°F (60°C).
Items to consider when designing a sign package to house LED price displays include:
• Solar gain from the black face of the displays
• Solar gain from other sign cabinet surfaces
• Heat gain from electronics inside the displays
• Passive or active airflow with adequate intake and exhaust areas
Daktronics is not responsible for high-temperature failure due to inadequate ventilation.
