Procedure for Installing Channel Letters

Prepare the Surface

• Ensure the wall or mounting surface is clean, dry, and level.
• Verify the wall structure can support the weight of the channel letters.

Create a Mounting Template

• Use the manufacturer-provided paper or acrylic template.
• Tape or fasten the template securely on the wall in the exact installation position.
• Confirm alignment with a level.

Mark Drill Holes

• Mark all drill points for electrical wiring, mounting studs, or raceways.
• Double-check that all marks correspond with the channel letter backs.

Drill Holes

• Drill holes according to the marks for electrical and mounting needs.
• Use the correct drill bit size for anchors or studs.

Install Electrical Components

• Run the necessary conduit and wiring through the wall or raceway.
• Ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
• Provide power supply connections for LEDs or neon transformers.

Mount Channel Letters

• Insert the studs or anchors into the pre-drilled holes.
• Secure each channel letter in place, tightening nuts or bolts as required.
• For raceway-mounted letters, fasten the raceway to the wall first, then attach letters.

Make Electrical Connections

• Connect each letter’s wiring to the power supply.
• Use waterproof connectors or wire nuts where necessary.
• Test each letter for proper illumination before sealing.

Seal and Finish

• Seal any wall penetrations with silicone to prevent water intrusion.
• Remove the installation template carefully.
• Clean the letters and surrounding area.

Final Testing

• Turn on the entire system.
• Check for uniform lighting, proper alignment, and secure mounting.
• Make adjustments if necessary.
