THE ULTIMATE INSTALLATION GUIDE: NEON SIGNS  

CrazyNeon Installation guide includes all the basic information required for the installation and operation of the LED Neon Sign. 


ABOUT THE PRODUCT

LED Neon signs are made from acrylic- a thermoplastic also known as Altuglas or Perspex, totally effective at transmitting light. The material used is lightweight and shatterproof, not producing heat or generating any noise.  


DIFFERENT MOUNTING TYPES: 


  • WALL MOUNT: Neon signs are placed on the wall with drilling holes and are fixed using spacers (Screws). 

  • WALL HANGING: Wall hanging neon signs come with a hanging chain used to place the product at the desired location, the length of the chain depends on the size ordered, Bigger the sign longer the chain (Generally, it varies between 1.5 to 2 feet long).

  • FREESTANDING: This category of neon sign backboard is primarily designed to arrange on a flat surface and comes with the acrylic stand technically designed for sturdy placement [but the customer can optionally ask for holes as well ( In case he/she does not want it to be put at a fixed area)], it does not require any drilling or heavy usage of machinery ensuring 100% convenience.

  • SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 

    Please carefully study the instruction manual and information below before installing or using this product. 

    • As advised, the installation process is a two-person job. 
    • Please always use the attached power adapter to power up the sign. Do not connect the sign directly to the line voltage. If in any doubt, please consult a local electrician. 
    • Neon signs of larger size should be handled with proper balance. Putting pressure on a particular side of the sign might break it. 
    • Neon signs with ‘Cut-to-letter’ backboard must be handled cautiously as the back acrylic support of such a category is less, as and when compared with other options. Thus, this particular backing requires more attention during the installation process. 
    • Clean with a soft, dry cloth. It is advised to avoid any use of solvents or chemicals and dampness on all electrical components. Before handling or cleaning your sign, disconnect the power. 

    STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR DIFFERENT MOUNTING OPTIONS: 


    Wall Mounting with Spacers/ Standoffs/Advertising Nails: 


    Tools to Prepare:

    • Provided Installation Accessories - Spacers/Standoffs, Power supply/Adapter, Dimmer Connector (Optional) 
    • Drywall anchors and Hammer
    • Screwdriver
    • Driller with a ¼” (6mm) drill bit
    • Pencil

    Step 1

    Place your sign flat up against the desired space/ Wall. To determine the screw hole locations, mark the position of pre-drilled holes with the help of a marker or pencil. Once done, Put aside your neon sign (with the LED facing downward) on a safe cover to avoid any damage.


    Step 2

    Now that you are done marking the holes, Use a drill with a ¼” (6mm) drill bit to make the pilot holes accurately on the marked points. For maximum security, you can also use the drywall anchors and tap them into the wall using a hammer. 


    Step 3

    Unscrew the spacers/standoffs and place them against the pilot holes. Install the barrel on the wall with combination screws through the barrel into the drywall anchors.


    Step 4

    Now Align your sign and thread the studs to the barrels (place the smaller affixing screws through the hollow access by the edges of the sign and secure them across the hollow entry base (Barrel) to the wall).  


    Step 5

    Once your sign is placed and fixed securely on the surface, Connect your sign to the adapter/power supply and then to the power outlet. 

    If you have opted for the Dimmer option, A connector must be provided to you for the same, link it with the sign and the adapter/power supply, secure the connections and your brand-new neon sign is all set to work! 


    Installing Freestanding Signs: 


    Step 1

    Step 2: 

    Rectangular Support Base: 

    Place the supporting base on a flat surface and fit/Slide the Neon sign board between the given cut-out space.   


    Triangular Stands: 

    Insert the triangular base into the carved-out space in the neon sign (Like a Puzzle). Place it on a flat surface and check if the sign is perfectly balanced. 


    Once done with the setup, Connect your sign to the adapter/power supply and then to the power outlet. 

    If you have opted for the Dimmer option, A connector must be provided to you for the same, link it with the sign and the adapter/power supply, secure the connections and your brand-new neon sign is all set to work!
