AlphaEclipse 3600 Series A Sign Installation Instructions (9711-8001C)
2.
On the bottom wireway door, locate the equipment identification label. On this label, find the number and
amperage of each power circuit that must be run to the sign (example below):
In this example, two 120V circuits
are required to power the sign:
• Circuit #1 = 19.4 amps
• Circuit #2 = 19.4 amps
3.
Run power wires to the wireway using waterproof conduit:
NOTE: A separate conduit must be provided for communication wires. Power and communication wires
should never be placed together in the same conduit unless the communication wires are fiber optic.
Adaptive Explains
Why is it necessary to always run two conduits to a sign?
It is not always necessary. Two conduits are only necessary when communication wire, like RS485 wire, is run to a sign
from a computer or from another sign. In these cases, one conduit would contain the sign's power wires and the other conduit
the communication wires.
If power and communication wires are put in the same conduit, there is a chance the communication wires might pick up
electrical interference from the power wires. For example, when a live power cord is placed next to a stereo speaker wire, the
interference from this cord may cause the speaker to hum. In the case of a sign, this same effect could disrupt messages sent to
the display.
On the other hand, fiber optic cable and power wires can share the same conduit because fiber optic cable is immune to
electrical interference.
