DVN-3051 Series Panel
Installation Guide

Mechanical

Apply one of the two methods to attach a display:
mounting clip-to-panel or panel-to-tube. These methods apply to both concave and convex displays.
Refer to the contract-specific Shop Drawing for additional details.

Mounting Clip-to-Panel Attachment

Mounting clips attach to the rear of the panel with the supplied M6-1×20 mm hex-head bolts. Refer to Figure 1. Clip quantity and location may differ by panel location. Refer to the contract-specific Shop Drawing for clip locations.

DAKTRONICS DVN-3051 Series Panel Panel-to-Tube Attachment

Panels provide holes to self-drill the tube and threads to jack the panel away from the tube by approximately 1 /4 ” [6.35 mm] with an M6-1×20 mm serrated- head bolt if Z-axis adjustment is needed. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3.

DAKTRONICS DVN-3051 Series Panel - fig1 These steps provide only a general overview of panel-to-tube attachment.
Refer to Panel Installation (p.1) for more detailed instructions.

Insert one self-drilling screw and one M6-1×20 mm jacking bolt in the lower corners on each panel.
Refer to Figure 4.
Insert one self-drilling screw and one M6-1×20 mm jacking bolt in the upper corners on each panel in the bottom row of panels only. Refer to Figure 4.

Panel Installation

Start in the bottom-center of the display and position the first panel. Verify the location of the panel relative to the structure.
Adjust the panel until it is plumb and level. Refer to Figure 5.
Inspect the interconnect angle plates for burrs and use a file to remove any small burrs. Refer to Figure 6. Use four M5-0.8×12 mm tap screws per bottom interconnect angle plate to attach to the bottom of the first row of panels. Tighten the screws to 15 in-lbs. Use four M6-1×12 mm Allen-drive screws per mid-display interconnect plate to attach to the top of the panels, leaving the screws finger-loose. Refer to Figure 7.
Note : This may be done prior to installing the panel on the structure.
The interconnect angle plates are designed to sit tight against the mating machined surface of the panel. Each plate is etched to show if it is for a concave “CC” or convex “CV” display. Refer to Figure 6.
Note : Top and bottom interconnect angle plates are only used on the bottom of the first row and the top of the last row. Refer to Figure 11 for typical installation location. The Top Interconnect bracket is shown in (blue). The Mid Display interconnect plate is shown in (red).1: Top & bottom interconnect plate (0.090″) [2.2 mm] 2: M5 countersink hole for panel attachment

Position the next panel beside the existing panel and use M6-1×12 mm screws to attach the interconnect plate.
It is normal for panels to have a vertical gap. Refer to Figure 8.
Tighten the M6-1×12 mm screws on top of each panel. Torque the screws to 55 in-lbs. Refer to Figure 9.
Note : The panel can rest on the bottom interconnect angle plate while the top screws are tightened.
Repeat Steps 3-5 for the remaining panels in the row, building from the center out and tightening the vertical interconnect hardware to 55 in-lbs. Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11. Ensure each panel is level and plumb.
Start installing the upper plates on the next row after the first row is completed, working from the center out.
Note : After the first row, all subsequent rows only attach in the top mounting locations. Refer to Figure 1.
Continue attaching panels up to the top row.
