Instructions:
1. At the entrance to the lab, determine the mounting location of the sign. Ideally chest to head height,
directly beside the entranceway.
2. Using the studfinder, determine the location of the nearest stud for mounting of the junction boxes.
3. Follow your LOTO procedures for identifying the isolating the nearest circuit you will tie into.
4. Cut a hole(s) in the wall to allow mounting of the junction boxes to a stud.
5. Mount the junction boxes to the desired stud. Junction box #1 is often mounted on the same stud directly
above Junction box #2.
6. With the junction boxes mounted, assemble the LED sign by removing the protective tape, and attaching
the chrome reflector and LED light bar.
7. Cut the LED barrel jack from the wire leaving as much length needed to reach the inside of the junction
box #1 from the mounted location.
