9. Engage Splice Key

Ensure the splice key is properly engaged into the splice channel. [Diagram: Close-up of splice key and splice channel.]

10. Verify LED Alignment

Verify the LEDs on both display sections align in all directions between splices. If the LEDs are more than 1/4 of an LED out of alignment, adjust until properly aligned. [Diagram: Shows alignment verification.]

11. Distribute Flat Splice Plates

Distribute the flat splice plates evenly along the back of the display. [Image: Flat splice plates being distributed.]

Note: Ensure there is a flat splice plate near each end of the display. ?

12. Position Bolts

Position bolts so they can slide easily into place once the plate is in position. Slide into channels to secure the top half to the bottom half. [Image: Bolts being positioned.]

13. Loosen Vertical Splice Tube Bolts

Use the provided torque stick, an 11/16" socket, and an impact wrench to loosen the bolts that hold the vertical splice tube in the bottom section. Consult the shop drawing for more information. [Image: Tools being used on bolts.]

14. Slide and Tighten Vertical Splice Tube

Slide the vertical splice tube so it is split evenly between the display sections as shown. Tighten the hardware to 75-100 ft-lbs. [Image: Vertical splice tube being adjusted.]

15. Repeat for All Vertical Splice Tubes

Repeat Steps 12-14 for all vertical splice tubes.

16. Install Border Splice Plates and Covers

Slide the border splice plates and covers into place (when equipped). Attach with supplied Tek screws and nuts for sectional displays. [Image: Nuts and screws.]

17. Connect Signal and Power Cables

Connect the signal and power splice cables between the display sections. Refer to Electrical Installation (p.2) for more information. ?
