Installation Instructions
Installation Steps Straight Onto a Wall/Pillar
1: Unboxing: Remove all contents carefully. Place the sign on a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
2: Cleaning the Surface: Clean the wall or pillar where the sign will be mounted.
3: Marking for Drill Holes: Position the paper template on the wall. Use a marker to mark through the template where the threaded rods and cable will go.
4: Securing the Template: Tape the template firmly in place. Drill holes at the marked spots—5mm for the rods, 10mm for the cable.
5: Attaching the sign: Screw the threaded rods into the back of the sign. Apply silicone glue into the drilled rod holes if desired, and insert the rods. Route the electrical cable through the 10mm hole.
Connecting to Transformer Power Source
1: Turn Off the Power: Turn off power to the work area by shutting off circuits at the electric service panel.
2: Preparing Wires: Cut wires to the needed length, ensuring enough slack for connections, and strip ½ inch of insulation from each end. If needed, extend the wire using the extension wire included in the package to ensure it reaches the outlet or plug.
3: Attaching the Sign: Run the wire through the drilled hole at the back of the sign. Attach the sign to the wall by aligning the threaded studs with the pre-drilled holes and securing it in place.
4: Connecting the Wiring to the Outlet: After attaching the sign to the wall, connect the wiring to the outlet to complete the installation.
5: Powering On: Once all the connections are made, plug the adaptor into a power source. Your address sign will now light up and enhance the visual appeal of your store.
Plug-in Installation Option: A plug is included in the package. For plug-in installation, wire the sign to the included plug and connect it to a standard outlet.
Important Note:
If you are not familiar with electrical connections or feel unsure about the installation process, it is recommended to hire a qualified electrician. They have the expertise to ensure a safe and professional installation, giving you peace of mind and a satisfactory result. Your safety is our top priority, and professional assistance can help avoid any potential risks or electrical hazards.
