Mounting Structure
Note: Images in this section are for illustrative purposes only. Content may
be enlarged for better comprehension.
Ensure the supporting structure for the display is plumb, horizontally level,
and square before installing the display panels.
1. Inspect the level of the vertical
sections by taking measurements
of the horizontal intervals between
vertical columns (X
three equally-spaced horizontal
measurements. Refer to Figure 5.
If the difference between any two X
measurements exceeds 5 mm, adjust
the structure or plan ahead for panel
adjustments while installing the
display panels.
2. Ensure the structure is plumb by
placing a sufficiently-long level attached to the top
panel of the frame. Refer to Figure 6.
If the δ value at the bottom of the structure exceeds
1 mm for each 1 m of the frame's height, adjust
the structure or plan ahead for panel adjustments
while installing display panels. For example, a 10 m

vertical bar that has the furthest Z displacement when compared to
the other bars. Refer to Figure 7.

Panel Installation
1. Take the display panels out of the crate and check the integrity of the
panels. Check for any obvious damage from transport.
2. Use a C-clamp to attach an angled metal section with a total length
of two panels or more to the bottom of the metal structure to support
the first row. Ensure the metal support piece is horizontally level and
vertically plumb. Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9.
